State Vol. IV, No 8 The Penn Game. State suffered a severe defeat at the hands of the University of Pennsylvania last Saturday by the score of 28 to O. Great interest was taken in this game rrom the fact that it has been three years since Penn has met State on'the gridiron. Con sequently when the whistle blew for the start fully 12000 people were massed on Franklin field. About 200 State supporters including un dergraduates and alumni did them selves justice in the north stand. We were unfortunate iiilosing this game as we have maintained throughour the year that our foot ball team is one of the best in the country. Although Saturday's de feat was decisive, we are still of the same conviction. Captain Burns and his followers put up a snappy contest. The general opinion of those who witnessed the game was that Penn put up an exceptional game and haci they played any of the other big teams the result would not have been far different. Our line was impregnable and Penn's gains were made chiefly by running the ends with such an extremely well formed interference that our secondary defence was often neces sary to bring down the runner. The forward pass was also used effectively for large gains by the Quakers who seemed to have im proved in this since their defeat by the Indians. An unusual amount or rough play was evident as compared with State's other contests of the year. Cyphers appeared to have no trouble in going through any pl=ce he tried in Penn's line and was per- haps the star for the White and Coll STATE COLLEGE, PA., NOVEMBER 14 Blue. McCleary fulfilled all the conditions that gained him his name "Bull," while Welsh and Smith were tackling sure and hard. Hirshman played the game in old time form until' his injured shoulder caused his retirement. • STATE 0 PENN 28 Burns .... ... . ..... le.
