OFFENSE AGAINST OWLS
Morrison's Spectacular Running
Features Play—Brewster,
Capl. Collins Score
Hy SIDNEY 11. BENJAMIN M 3
‘ Cynics will claim that “they
still pay off on victories,” but
the thousands who saw the Nit
tany Lions battle a heavy, favor
ed Temple eleven to a standstill
in the final game of the season
Saturday carry in their minds
the vision of a plucky band of
underdogs rising to the heights,
even though Temple won the de
cision by the slim margin of a
placement-kick, 13-to-12.
Outweighed some twenty-four
pounds to a man and not con
ceded a chance of victory by a
single Philadelphia sportswritcr,
the Lions swept the Owls off
their feet with a brilliant first
quarter running attack, shifted
to the air early in the second
quarter to tally the first touch
down of the game, doggedly held
the heavy Temple backs for
downs time after time, and then came
back in the last quarter with an ad
vance down the field whose culmina
tion very nearly evened the count .with
their undefeated foes.
Thus was the tradition that Lion
teams play inspired games in-Phila
delphia upheld with honor. Play for
play, man for man, the Lions matched
their highly-touted adversaries,’ fail
ing only when a successful place kick
from the toe of Captain Collins would
have meant a tie, but bearing the
Lions share of the glory.in return for
the short end of the score.
, Sophomores Star
Flashing the most spectacular brok
en-field running exhibited by a Nit
tany back in recent years, Merrill
Morrison, the sophomore will-o’-thc
wisp, had the Temple defenders be
wildered from the opening whistle.
The Philadelphia halfback celebrated
his return to home territory by click
ing off gains which ranged from ten
to twenty-five yards apiece. His legs
charging like pistons, he tore the Owl
line to shreds, and once clear, his
[speed made him a difficult man to
i bring down.
Only slightly less effective in the
Nittany offense was the running at
tack displayed by Harry Sigel, the
line-plunging of Leo Skemp, and the
forward-passing combination of Col
lins and Lohr. The latter two, to
gether with the two wingmen, Tom
Slusser and Jesse Brewster, made the
Lior. aerial attack more dangerous
than it has been at any time this sea
son.
It was Brewster and Slusser, too,
who stood out on the Nittany defense.
These two seemed to bo everywhere,
smearing a surprising number of
Temple plays before they got started,
and batting down many of the Temple
passes. The whole line, in fact, play
ed a defensive game which met the
power-house plays of their heavy op
ponents with a stubbornness which,
forced the Owls to resort to the air
fo«r their important gains. Not n
small factor in the defense, too, was
the splendid kicking of Captain Cai
lins, which often put the Owls- at a
disadvantage.
Lions Score First
So much thrill-laden action was
crowded into the sixty minutes of
vicious football that it is difficult to
know where to begin. After receiving
tho kick-off, Temple soon learned that
the Nittany forwards meant business
and was forced to kick.
'Captain Collins returned a punt to
the Owl 9-yard line, and when Temple
kicked back again to the State 47-
