State wished to cancel the game because many of her best players were injured, but Pennsylvania replied that this was the last Wednesday game of the season and that the Red and Blue sadly needed the practice. So State consented to play on Oct. 17, as scheduled, and help prepare the Quakers for Columbia’s on slaughts. Three minutes after play had started McCracken made the first touch down. Near the middle of the half State got the ball on downs and Martin kicked to Penn’s 5 yard line. Graves made a neat catch, but instead of rushing down the field he promptly fell down and waited for the White and Blue ends to hold him. Then Penn punted and Hewitt ran the ball back 15 yards before being tackled. Failing to gain, Hewitt sent a quarter back kick to left end. The pig skin rolled across the line, where Gill fell upon it for a touch down. State had scored on Penn by means of one her own tricks, the quarter back kick. For the rest of the first half the Quakers played as State 5—U. of P. 17.
