FROSH ELEVEN TIED
BY Pin YEARLINGS
Muddy Field Handicaps Players in
Gruelling Contest Staged on
Forbes Field
Mud, fumbles, and light characterised
tho game last Saturday at Forbes Field
In which tho PUt Freshmen held tho
Ponn SUUo yearlings to a 7 to 7 tic
Thu NUluny cubs* played bettor football
and clearly hud tho advantage through
out tho game, thoy held tho ball tho
majority of the tlmo In Pitt territory
and threo times camo dangerously close
to tho Smoky City goal lino although
scoring only onco. Pitt put up a game
light and lied tho scoro through a for*
ward pass that netted a sixty yard dash
and a touchdown.
In tho ilr&Uquarter, Pitt recohod the
ball In hor own torrltory and attempted
two line plunges. Theso wero unsuc
cessful so a forward puss was tiled,
this was not successful so tho Ponn
State bucks prepared to rctulvo a kick.
Instead Wlntorburn hurled tho pigskin,
to JVilllams, tho flashy Pitt loft half.
and ho romped sixty yards down to the
Stato chalkllno. With tho score 7 to
0, tho Ponn Stuto Frosh settled down to
tho grim tiuflc of tlclng tho scoro and
bettering tho tally. From then on tho
gutuo belonged to tho Bluo and White
In tho second porlod they got possession
of tho ball in midfield and then sturled
.a inarch down tha Held On two llrst
downs thoy took tho bull to tho twenty*
ilvo yard Uno and from thoro_Carson
slipped through loft ond und tied tho
score. A,
In tho s/cond and thirty periods, tho
Ü ball-vnlvorurbotwoliirtflo' t'wo'coltriftlßtg
but neither qldo came dangerously dose
to their opponent's chalkllno. In tho
fourth quarter howover, Penn Stato had
things her own way and twlco had op-
portunities to scoro but did not tako
advantage of thom|
At ono tlmo tho Freshmun got tho
ball on tholr thirty* yard mark and
pushed down to Pitt's llvo yard lino
whcio tho Panther Cubs rallied and
took possession of tho leather on downs
At this tlmo tho ML Nlttany Frosh wero
at tho holghth of tholr power, every
down was good for a flvo yard gain and
tho backs ran at will until tho five
yard Uno was rcuchod. Hero tho Pitt*
lies put up a stubborn dufonso that
tho Bluo and White could not plcrco
and got tho pigskin. After tho follow
ing kick Ponn Stato started a second
march down tho field and again camo
within striking distance. This tlmo
also thoy wero doomed to disappoint
ment us a fumble gave the ball to tho
Bluo and Cold who Immediately kicked
out of danger.
Tho poor condition of tho gridiron
ms a big drawback to tho play of each
Ido. Tho mud slowed up tho gamo to
. largo oxtont and mado passes oxtrom
ly .uncertain. Fumbles wero much In
vldcnco and proved rnoro of a hlnd
anco to Ponn Stato than to Pitt as tho
ormor held tho ball tho majority of tho
Into.
Captain "Poke" Williams, tho Pitt
left halfback, starred for tho Bluo and
Gold by his long run for a touchdown
and his general all-around playing. Ho
put up a sterling exhibition of foot
ball His running mato, Wlntorburn
also played well.
Every man on tho Nlttany combina
tion mado a good showing, “Bags” 1
Madera especially making a name for
himself. Tlmo and again ho darted
through tho Pitt aggregation, and nailed
tho runner for a loss. Ills slzo and
speed made a big impression and ho did
good work at running down punts. Tho
backfluld, Rathgcbor, Wilson, Carson,
id Cornwall mado an excellent offon-
slvo combination, Rathgober and Car
son showing up especially wo!!..
Very few substitutions wero mado on
either sido. For Ponn Stato Coach
Herman put Singer in Cornwall's placa
In tho second period but exchanged
thorn again In tho third section of tho
gamo while Butler went In for Becker
