The greatest surprise of the season was the news from
Philadelphia that State had not only held Penn down to 17
points but even scored on her. 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.
