VOLUME 7 NUMBER 5
PENN WAS VICTORIOUS
Quakers Were Fortunate in Win
ning. Our Team Played Great
Game. Piollet, Miller and Wat-
son Star.
When the State students, nearly
four hundred strong, who went to
see the annual State-Penn game
woke up in Philadelphia last Satur
day morning and saw the, rain de
scending heavily, it was fortunate
for the weather men that he was
not in their vicinity. .Our hope lay
in a fast, dry field and the Quakers
were praying just for the same con
ditions since their backfield combi
nation is said to be about the speed
iest they ever possessed. How
ever,' it rained up until the very
minute of the battle and we can on
ly guess what the result would have
been if Oct. 22d 1910 had been a
bright, crisp, clear day in Philadel
dhia and the field had not been
ankle deep in mud.
The right side of Penn's advance
was offside when Mercer kicked off
3:20 and the home team was pen
alized five' yards. Piollet received
the next ,kickoff and "Tom" ran it
_ back 8 yards to the 25 yard line.
Barrett kicked 40 yards to Scott
but we were penalized because of a
flying tackle. Our men unable to
gain consistently at this stage of the
game had fo resort to 'kicking and
the tackling was so hard all through
the contest when the Penn bicks
received the ball that the tackling
of the State ele7en was chaiuter-
ized as the best seen or}„granklin
After Severall l exchanges of punts
we had the ball on out 27 yard line
and Piollet was called back 'for a
run around right end. Watson
passed the slippery - oval low and.
Piollet delayed a little trying to
recover it and in falling on the ball,
it oozed out from under his argi.
Jourdet slid over the mud, secured
the pigskin, rose to his feet and ran
for a touchdown. Cozens missed
the goal.
But five minutes of the encounter
had been , played when Captain
Cozens' eleven was so fortunate as
to secure its ,first score. Barrett
kicked off over Penn's line and Ken
nedy and Mer Per 'brought the ball
to the middle of the field in two
runs starting at the 25 yard line.
Penn was penalized 1$ yards for as
sisting the runner and Miller received
Scott's punt on, the 20 yard line.
We were compelled to kick and
"Fritz" Barrett raised the ball out of
bounds on our 50 yard mark. Then
"Shorty" Miller made a spectacular
run of 95 yards through a broken
field. On securing Sommer's boot,
with beautiful interference, Miller
got by every Penn man who was
near enough to be dangerous and
the State stand went wild as Shorty
dashed away for 'what seemed a
sine touchdown. 'Referee "Al"
Sharpe called him hack, however,
saying that one foot had gone over
the white mark on the north margin
of Franklin field.
The second period started with
Penn's ball on our 40 yard line.
Soon Mercer got away for a 35 yard
run, "Pete" Johnson clowning him
from behind - oh our 20 yard line.
Sommer made several substantial
gains and Mercer made a touchdown
on a well-executed forward pass.
This was an earned score but, as in
the first touchdown,Cozens failed at
goal. That made it—Penn 10, State
0, and this was the final score.
The second period ended with the
ball in the middle of the field. Our
interferenceiwith IVfauthe out entire
ly and Very limping through every
play was not powerful enough , to let
either Barrett or Miller get away for
dashes around the end and Old
Penn's line held strongly on Engle's
line smashers. . Our backs handled
punts one hundred percent better
than the Penn men, Miller especially
having a number of chances to take
low, driving kicks on the run and
accepting these opportunities flaw
lessly. Barrett and Sommer were
evenly matched in their punting duel.
Hough kicked off to Barron at the
start of the third period. Engle
soon after blocked Thayer's at
tempted punt and the ball was ours
on Penn's 50 yard line. Miller made
10 yards, Barrett added one, Engel
tore off 2 then Barrett punted to
Sommer who brought the ball back
to Penn's 20 yard line. Piollet tack
led with an unfailing consistency
right through the game and he is
considered just as much of All-
American possibility in Philadelphia
as he is in State College. In this
case he brought Sommer down so
'hard that Dutch had to recuperate
for a few minutes while time was
being taken out.
Thayer now kicked to Barrettwho
got 5 yards before being downed.
With the ball on Penn's 30 yard line
it looked as though we had. a good
chance to gtta score, but Thayer in
tercepted Miller's forward pass.
After Penn had kicked, our double
pass formation was broken up by
the Quaker defense and Barrett
Pn .ai 5 z ,L122 2.4. , We
clearly outplayed the home eleven in
the third period and the Red and
Blue team was fortunate to keep
Captain Gray's team from 'scoring.
With a handicap of ten points
against them, our men went into the
final period more determined than
ever. Miller gained 5 yards through
center, Engle added 3 through the
left side and then repeated the trick
with 8 yards more off tackle. Penn
held for downs, Barrett punted and
Thayer returned the kiclryto Miller
who added to his laurels'by running
the punt back 20 yards- even though
two Penn tacklers were right beside
him when he caught the ball.
Two beautiful outside kicks by
Barrett and . a pretty forward pass
from Barrett to Piollet brought the
ball to Penn's 2 yard line. "Dad"
Engle was given the ball threetimes
in succession and gained all but six
inches of the required amount, the
Red-and-Blue defence holding like
a stone-wall. Once Engle was un
doubtly over the Hue with the ball
but the swaying mass of players
settled back with the ball just half
a-foot from the line.
This was an elegant opportunity
to score and 'the failure to do so
seemingly dazed our players fora
time. Young and Mercer made long
runs and a well placed low, bound
ing kick got past our backs. This
gave Penn the ball within 3 yards
of our line but they couldn't
advance it any nearer in three tries.
The State section, game to the end,
yelled like mad and a few seconds
later the loyal studes in - the Old
Chapel did the same when they
heard of the great feat. After the
thrilling defensive work of our men,
there was time but for two plays;
then the whistle blew and our
splendid' eleven sadly went to the
dressing-room , The old players
