Xoose Play and Poor Generalship
TAOWN South one day," ns Uhvlng Cobb Is wont to say, "theah was a gem'man
who got. himself In bail with the police fohce. He" Hut that's a little off
key. Let's try it ngaln: Down South a guy got In bail with tho cops and was
hurled In tho cooler. Ho cent for his attorney, tearfully told his troubles and at
the end the Indignant disciple of Blackstono suld'.
"Why, that's all wrong. They have no right to keep you here."
"That may be true," said the Incarcerated, gentleman, "but tho fact remains
that I am HERB. Now what are yoU going to do about It?"
Thus we. have discovered a parallel caso to be used with the victory scored
by the University of Pittsburgh over I'enn Inst Saturday, ntt won tho gnmo
becuuse she scored the most points, but In no way did she deserve It. Jvot even
through the wildest stretch of the Imagination can the glory bo taken from I'enn;
but as the Inhabitant of the hooeh-gow says, "What are you going to do about It?"
Pittsburgh emerged from tho game with a stranglehold on tho long end of tho
core, while the Hed and Blue got everything else that was left. Years from now
the score books will contain tho brief item, "Pitt, 14; I'enn, fi," and that will tell
the story of the game. Nothing will be said of tho gallant fight made by Kolwell's
team nor will any mention bo made of the slump Indulged In by ten of the eleven
players coached by Glenn AVarner. Tho story Is told In the scoro nnd l'ltt gets
credit for winning twenty-four consecutive games In u period covering three
years. All of which, we must pauso to remark. Is SO.ML3 iccord, nnd will bo
placed In the hall of fame with other historical stuff.
But Pitt's showing was a big surprise and startled the 18,000 spectators ns
much as the wonderful work dono by the Penn eleven. Instead of using the Hed
and Bluo a,thletes as doormats or stepping stones while running up a big score,
the team from the other end of tho State discovered to Its dismay that It had a
big Job on its hands und was confronted with a strenuous afternoon's work. Tho
pygmies assumed the generous proportions of giants and. proceeded to rush tho
highly touted visitors all over the field. At first Pitt was amazed, and later this
turned into bewlldeiment. Tho plajers did not know what to make of It.
W1
d
niEN tho first half ended In a scoreless tie even the spectators were
dazed. The much-vaunted attack developed by Warner' was missing
and the under dog was coming Into his own. What had happened to the
efllclent and crushing bcorlng macKlno they read so much about? Some
thing' must be wrong with Pitt or Penn was unusually strong. Both
guesses were correct.
Penn Played Great Football Against an Overconfident Team
THE truth of the matter Is that I'enn played a desperate uphill game against n
recognized powerful foe. nnd performed so well that soon she was forcing tho
fighting Instead of being on the defense with her back to tho wall. Tho Hed
and Blue had everything' to gain and nothing to lose. The team had been counted
out last winter when the schedule was urranged and the only thing remaining
was to stage the obsequies, with flowers omitted. If the simile can be pardoned,
Penn fought like a cornered rat. and decided to fight to the last against over
whelming odds when there apparently was no chance to win. Had tho team
been further advanced In football and the green linemen had absorbed some of
the wisdom of Buck Wharton, Pitt would be a sadder but wiser team today. It
was an off day for the Panthers, and this was accentuated by the sensational
work of the Hed and Blue.
Pitt waB overconfident. The plajers showed It when they ran out on the
field for preliminary practice. They Just Jogged to their positions and ran
through signal practice as If It were just a formality to allow the spectators to
ret a look at the team. They acted like Ty Cobb ns he stioll3 nonchalantly to
the plate to bat against a rookie pitcher and then knocks the ball out of the lot.
Beating Penn was all In tho day's work, and they wanted to get It over with as
soon as possible.
But they didn't fool Glenn Warner. The gridiron wizard lead the hand
writing on the wall and was nervous before the game was called, l'loyd Hose
nnd Alex Stevenson also appeared restless, and Karl Davis, the hustling manager,
looked like an accident going some place to happen.
nrVWO weeks ago It looked as If we would beat Penn by a big score,"
said Warner before the game, "but now I nm not bo sure about it.
If Penn has a strong team we aio likely to lose. At any rate, we will be
lucky if we win and it will be by a mighty close score." Alt of which goes
to prove that Pop Is a wise bird and knows what he Is talking about.
Poor Generalship Is Shown by Both Teams
PENN was all worked up for the battle. When Heinle Miller led the team on
the field the players did not take their time, as did Pitt, but every man ran
Just aa hard as he could, like a sprinter in a 100-yaid dash. They seemed anxious
to start things, and this spirit stuck with them until tho final whistle. They
battled harder at the end than at the start of the game.
For a time in the first period it looked as if Pitt would walk over the oppo
sition and put over a few scores, but Just as a touchdown seemed Inevitable,
poor headwork on the part of the Panther quarterback spoiled everything.
McLaren was crashing through the line, making from two to ten yards at a clip,
but when the goal line appeared on the horizon something else was tried and
ground was lost. Then on the fourth down, with five yards to gain, a forward
pass was tried. It failed because every one knew it was about to be pulled and
played for it. Poor headwork, by the way, characterized the play of both teams.
It was so bad that a grammar school coach would have fired his team on tho
spot for pulling the same stuff. Forward passes were hurled with reckless abandon
any old place on the field, whether tho team was in tho shadow of its own goal
posts or in position to make a touchdown. It made no difference whero they,
were, the passes were tried.
A forward pass is not a good play to use when near your own goal line.
Coaches spend week3 and months drilling this point into tho head3 of their field
generals and the perils are explained at every practice. Yet this play was used
time and again with disastrous results. Folwell and AVarner should have been
nervous wrecks at the end of the exhibition.
TTEINIE ZIMMERMAN would have turned green with envy had he
tl witnessed the frightful bone pulled by Pitt in the last moments of tho
fourth period. The Panthers were leading by fourteen points and tho ball
was on their on 25-yard line. A punt was the logical thing, for the
game, virtually was over. A forward pass was poor tactics, as the oval
was in Pitt's territory; and anyway, the play shouldn't have been used
except when desperate methods were needed in a desperate situation. But
the pass was called, for some unexplained reason, and Wray, the hero of
Penn, caught the ball and carried it to the 9-yard line. From there tho
pigskin was carried over for a touchdown.
Pitt and Penn Played Great Football When it Didn't Count
THERE was more misdirected energy exposed on Franklin Field Saturday
than has been seen in years. Both teams played wonderful football between
the two 20-yard HneB, and this work was done where It did the least good. McLaren
tore huge holes through the Penn line while in tho middle of the field and Penn
.was able to gain when the goal line was far In the distance. The object of the
.same is to bring the ball down the field through liberal use of punts, forward
passes, end runs and anything else that will not use up the men too much. Then
When the chance for a score arrives the players will be able to put over the final
punch. Line bucks and two-yard gains are nothing in your own territory or in
thfc middle of the field. All they do is to tiro out the men for the final drive. Both
field generals erred In this department, for they saved the open football for times
When It was needed. Had Bert Bell been In the game Penn would have played
differently. Bert is one of the best field generals in the East,, and he surely was
missed.
The breaks of the game helped considerably, but Pitt alone took advantage
of them. In the third period she had two chances to score and accepted both.
Penn, on tho other hand, had a wonderful chance to try for a drop kick in the
first period after one of McLaren's kicks had been blocked and the ball was on
Pitt's 25-yard line, but Berry, instead tif carrying the ball in front of the goal
posts, ran to the other side of the field and the chance was lost. Berry, we are
told, muffed at least a dozen signals during the game and tried a few of his own.
Pitt's flrsl touchdown was strange and unusual, McCarter dropped back to
hurl a forward pass, but the Penn forwards sifted through and surrounded him.
Atex Wray tried to grab him around tho neck, but McCarter sidestepped, dodged,
Wrned his back on him and, whirling suddenly, threw the ball blindly In the
Section of Penn's goal, Carlson was on the job, caught the ball and carried it
vw the line. It looked like a lucky stab on McCarters part.
' a
THIS game will be a lesson for Pitt and should be the makings of tne
Penn team. Tho Westerners have learned their lesson and will play
letter football in the remaining games, while Folwell's team now knows
it ma play the game and 1s ready to take on tho other foes without fear

By PAUL PREP
The second lap of tho six weeks' play
for tho championship of the Interscholastlo
Football League gets under way this after
noon, with Northeast, Central High and
West Philadelphia High all bunched for the
leading positions. Tho titleholder, South
Philadelphia, GermantoWn and Frankford
are all trailing the leaders. Tho distance Is
so short that a victory this week for the
defeated elevens will carry them all up on
even terms with the present leaders.
The schedule for this week-end brings
the three winners against the trio of losers.
Northeast will meet Dean Johnson's South
Philadelphia "Live Wires" on the uptown
Red and Black's athletic field. Twenty-ninth
street and Indiana avenue, Friday after
noon. Saturday tho baby member of the
circuit, Frankford High, will line up with
Central High on Houston Field. The other
league match Is between Coach Lewis's
Germantown High School eleven and the
West Philadelphia "Speed Boys" on West
Philadelphia's gridiron. The school across
the river secured the use of the Strawbrldge
& Clothier athletic field, Sixty-third and
Walnut streets, for Us home games.
Red and Black Should "Win Friday
The vlptorv of Coach Harry Snyder's
Archive bunch last Friday over the crip
pled eleven representing Germantown High
School was expected Tho heavy and fast
Red and Black backneld. lteeves, captain
Dick Kinsman. "Nick" Carter and White,
tore the gren line of the suburban Institu
tion to threads and easily skipped around
the opposing ends In justice to Coach
Lewis's team It must be remembered that
nlv reeulars were on tho crippled list and
the team was, therefore, unable to give a
fair account of Its progress.
In Friday's game with South Philadel
phia, tho Lehigh avenue school has a tradi
tion to uphold. The school from tho south
ern section of the city has never defeated
Northeast on tho gridiron. The closest they
ever came to accomplishing this feat whs
last reason when Southern and Northeast
struggled to a scorless tie. If Northeast
can defeat Captain Bunnln and his team
mates, It will undoubtedly throw tho pres
ent champs out of the running for tho title
this year
West Philadelphia's victory over Frank
ford High, Saturday, was a pleasant sur
prise to the followers of the "Speed Boys."
Entering tho game with the unusual record
of not having won a game or Having scored
a point In its three games played, the team
across tho river was looked upon as only
having a fighting chance for victory over
their opponents, who had not lost a game
or even been scored upon In Its trio of con
tests. This victory should act as a tonlo
to the western team and make It a favor
ite over Germantow in tho Saturday's game.
