From tho end of tho lirst quarter, when tho yearl ings hud twonty-flvo points to their ci edit, it was simply a question of how many the lirst year men would lomp through tho Bed and Black team foi another touchdown. Tho Freshmen pluvial the proverbial rings around tho visiting eleven who did not seem to know wlmt to expect from tho hands of the husky Frosh Tho lirst few minutes of pinv demonstrated tho superiority of the Nittnuy cubs and from then on tho Noiniullles fought with their backs to the wall but light tlioy did and tlio eighty-threo yard run of W East Stroudsburg’s doughty center, who intercepted a forward pass In the shadow’ of his own goal lino and raced «,low n the tength of tho iloid for his team’s only score was a feuturo of the contest. An unusually largo crowd for a Fiosiiman game, largely composed of tho advance guatd of the Pennsylvania Day throng, witnessed tho game Tho wearers of the green were at their best and ovory man played a good frame. The line could not bo broken so that tho visitors were compelled to kick nearly every time they got tho ball in theli possession.

Wilson was responsible for threo of tho Bluo and White tallies and pulled off several tn on ty-ilve yard dashes, while Carson played the usual good game Tho second back flcld composed of Patton, Hynes, Palm and Singer, worked like clockwork and wera.responsible for twenty-one of tho -points ’ *►«..' -s- * ‘ W Wilson was tho main attraction on tho Stroudsburg squad and his magni ficent dash for a touchdown put new hope in tho hearts of tho visitors' Con nollv, the quarterbnek played a lino ful goal for tho Normalltos, while full fill goal for tho Normalits, while full back Jones made most of tho fow ad vances of his cloven.
