ITAVERFORD. Nov. 1. Fighting an uphill battle, Haverford College triumphed over Franklin and Marshall on a rain-soaked field this afternoon by the score of 10 to 7. F.

and M. made the first tally toward the end of the first session, when earned the pigskin over on a wide end run. Haverford eaire back in the second period, after the big Brae team had advanced the oval to tie Haverford 20-yard line on a succession of line pranges. Trier fumbled the slippery ball, and Mcintosh recovered, and made a spectacular SO-yard run for the Scarlet and Black's first score. Captain Orrwman made a perfect kick out, which Brown gathered in on the IS-yard line, and Cros-roan directed the leather between the uprights.

During the third quarter, naverford had the ball several times on the visi tors' 10-yard marker, but the Delaware line held, and the Main Liners were un- i able to score. In the final quarter, after the ball had zig-zagged up and down the field in Delaware territory, Kearney ran back one of Deihent's punts for 40 yards, giving Haverford possession of the ball on the 12-yard mark. On three trials at the line, CroWn and Crosman made only, six yards, and on the fourth down Crosman dropped back to the 15-yard line booted a perfect field goal for the deciding score of the. contest. During the first quarter naverford was cleverly outplayed, and only Cros-I man's superb punting kept the home i posts out of danger.

F. and score came as the result of two long runs, followed by a short end run from the five-yard line. May ran back ros-man's punt for 40 yards, yutting the ball on the 30-yard marker. Here Delaware showed the best form Coach Dickson's proteges displayed in the afternoon. The Haverford defense was swept aside.

Trier making 2 yards on a dash around the wings, from where May made the score. Mav also kicked goal. taptain Lrosman was the hlgn light of the afternoon for Haverford. He was in every play and be gaiued from Rickart on every "interchange of the kick. His most brilliant performance i BET1JLKHEM, Nor.

1. After twice losrins possession the hall on downs, because of poor passes from the centre, Pittsburgh finally crossed Lehigh's goal line and won a very hard-fought struggle this afternoon lu the Taylor stadium. The score was 14 to 0. The two teams battled for 4." minutes on the slippery gridiron and neither could score. It was a wonderful struggle between two evenly-matched Cains.

Finally when darkness was dos ing in on i lie big crowd ana ram Degan fa lline hard, little Davies broke through the left side of the Lehigh hue and ran T0 yards for the tirst score of the game. TheD. just before the final whis tle blew, it was the same Da vies who eaucht the ball on a pass made by Wy socki and again ran half the length of the field for the second touchdown. Hastings kicked both goal, and the final count was 14 for Pittsburgh and 0 for Le.hieh. There was a long dispute over the second enal from touchdown, as the bail "was kicked against the crossbar and in the darkness there was some question whether the ball fell on the other ide of the bar.

The officials finally Jillowed the goal, and the total score was hung. The game bad a most disappointing ceding for the Lehigh supporters, who were out in large numbers to view what was considered Lehigh's big home i game of the season. AH through the lirst three periods of the game Lehigh had held the mighty Panthers safe and had twice taken the ball from them at Ihc threshold of their goal line. And, besides. Lehigh had once taken the Panthers by surprise and by a series of forward passes had almost crossed the Pittsburgh goal when ISooth was seen kicking an opposing player.

He was ruled out of the game and Lehigh was penalized half the distance to their own goal. Lehigh's chance to score passed with that unpleasant episode, and if Lehigh Lad succeeded in crossing the goal line the chances are they would be celebrating a victory in this town where the raiu storm is only adding to the disappointment. The hopes of the fans had been built up high only to be dashed t-nto the mud of the ploughed up grid-i ron. Had the day been clear and the field and fast, it is safe to say that Lehigh would have given Pittsburgh even a harder and faster battle and who knows but Lehigh would have won. The forward passes that took the Panthers bv surprise were repeated time ana again luring the game, but the field was too slipperv for the fast running ends and backs to catch up with the ball.

The men chosen to make the catches oft-times slipped and fell in trying to lo cate the ball in the air. None of those passes went through after the first few JjliempiS, DIU 1 1 UUI unouot Imrsrh nrovided anv defense against them.

Neither team attempted much long aerial work, but Crosman worked seven successful short passes to Brown. At the end of the second half Brown made 40 yards on this play, when the whistle cut off what seemed like a probable score. Captain Kick-art at centre played a good game for the losers, and the work of H. Weaver at left flank featured.

L'ehigh was not ready to retain the ball and Harrington punted right back. Pittsburgh started the attack from her 4.j-yard line and after gaining a first down in two line plays was forced to kick when a forward pass failed on the following third down. The ball continued to exchange hands.

Finally Pittsburgh got possession of it on her 45-yard line and then began battering away at the Lehi-h line. With the aid of a 13-yard gain by Davies and 10 more vards contributed by Hastings, Pittsburgh took the ball to Lehigh's 30-yard mark. Then forward pass, Davies to Loughlan. carried the ball to the 15-yard line. The Panthers had advanced a distance of 40 yards in steady style, and things began to look very sad for the hojr.e boys.

Pittsburgh was inside the 10-yard line with a third down and only 2 yards to go there was a bad pass and McCracken recovered the ball, but at a loss of 8 yards. Davies was then forced to make a forward pass and the ball was knocked down. That gave the ball to Lehigh, and Harrington kicked it out of danger. Pittsburgh kept up the attack in the second period. Leliigh's line was reached when a forward pass failed and then Davies tried for a place kick from the 44-yard line, ne failed to score.

The game began to look better after that for Lehigh. Wysock? broke loose tor a long gain. Harrington made a long pass which Liston muffed, but Booth, recovered the ball in the scramble for Lehigh on littsburgh's 10-yard line. There were wild cheers for a touchdown, but it was not to be. Wy-s-n-ki tried an end run aud lost grouud.

Then his forward pass grounded when Wilson slipped and fell down in turning to get the ball. Hiirrington then tried a drop kick from the; 25-yard line and missed it. Lehigh continued to hold the upper hand for a time. Things broke fine for her when a forward pass was batted into Wysocki's hand on Pitsburgh's 30-yard line. That piece of luck encouraged Lehigh to renewed efforts to score and a touchdown might have been obtained if Booth had not lost his head and Lehigh was penalized half the distance to her own goal line.

That saved Pittsburgh further embarrassment. At the start of the second half Pitts- a UnefPiAyS' C'irried the ball for a distance of 40 yards be-fcre sho was stopped. At the 25-yard line Pittsburgh needed five yards on the last down. Hastings then treed a place kick from the 35-yard line and missed the mark. Davies made a great runback of a punt, carrying the ball 30 yards to Lehigh's 30-yard line.

By a series of line plays Pittsburgh worked her way down to inside the ten yard line. Then Sprague threw Davies for a loss. That was followed by another poor pass ttnd Lehigh took possession of the ball on her ten-yard line. Then there were several exchanges of kicks before Davies made his two remarkabl runs for half the distance of the field aud the game was won for Pittsburgh. Lehigh.

Ploughing through a mnd-coFered field in the drizzling rain, Villanova defeated Muhlenbnrg here today 6-0 when Yadusky fell on the ball behind the goal line after a Mnhlenburg man had blocked McGeehan's kick. Muhlenburg had a heavier team and their line held well, except toward the final quarter. Dougherty received the opening kick from Muhlenburg. The husky Muhlenburg line held well and Villanova was forced to punt, Mc-Geeban recovered a fumble and Villanova tried line backing again. With the ball on the 35-yard line, tried for a field goal, but the ball fell short.

Toward the end of the first half the game developed into a punting duel with VillanoVa having the better of it. Villanova kicked off in the second half and after holding the heavy Muhlenburg team for downs, semed to have gained in strength and put up a good brand of football. Muhlenburg was penalized for holding and McGeehan carried the ball within striking distance of the lied warrior's line and Yadusky made the score on the blocked kick. Muhlenburg protected, but to no avail. McGeehan missed the trv for goal.

Muhlenburg was fighting mad. but Villanova fought also, and a bitter struggle ensued. This half was replete with good football, though marred by penalties to both sides due to offside plays- There was no further scorinsr. due to the mud.

Henry, Lloyd, Lawshe, Fried, and Mallinowki performed some notable work. The latter is a scrub weighing 290 pounds, and as a guard he excelled in defensive work.

Wagner, Chadwick and Olwine did some good work in line bucking and end plays for the visitors, but Albright was plainly out-classed from the game's beginning to the end. The game was played on a gridiron almost ankle deep in mud. and before the game was over the players were so plastered with grime that they looked like a band of Zulus on the war path. Umpire Ziegler had on a white duck suit when the game started, but by the end of the third period he looked as though he had been swimming in a clay pit. In the first period P.

M. C. rushed the ball to Albright's 20-yard line, but could not score. In the second period the Cadets quickly got the ball to Al- bright's 10-yard line and Pool went through on the tirst try for a touch- down. Pool tried tor the goal and miss-; ed.

The State men were victors, tney knew they were, and instead of weakening under the terrific grind they Kre stronger as aarimess icii over the Without discounting in the slightest State's great triumph, if is neverthe- i less true that Penn played her worst ame of the jear. It was a dangerous cay to handle a wet pigskin, and fum- I bles were frequent, but for every one that State made, Tcnii perpetrated half a dozen. This weakness did much to i disintegrate the lied and Blue's noted steam-roller offense, and only once did i they get properly started. This was at the beginning of the second half after State had kicked off. Pearce, who ran back twenty yards to own 4o-yard line.

A series of line plunges by Light and Derr netted six- teen yards and one of Fcnn's few first downs. The Quakers were then forced to kick, and Bell further messed things UP bv setting awav a miserahle kick. I which went out of bounds for a gain of less than five yards. The State line gave a splendid exhibition on both the offense and defense, holding Penn's great forwards to a deadlock during the first three periods, and clearly outplaying them in the third. The work of the visiting back field was superior to that of Old Penn's, the latter appearing to be puzzled, both individually and collectively, by the treacherous ground and slippery ball.

Folwoll's backs failed to get started with their usual speed, and o'ne always expected to see the ball slip out of their arms before the game was very old. At forward passing, Penn showed a lamentable weakness, while State was unusually strong over the aerial route, and this under the most difficult conditions for this style of offense. The Quakers did not get away for one good pass in five, and the few they managed to negotiate were for slight gains. On the other hand, State seldom failed to succeed when engaged in overhead work, Pen's defense appearing to be dnmfouncled by the most fundamental kind of forward passing. On the whole, except for this failure of Penn to break up' State's occassional forward passing, both teams gave a remarkable exhibition of defensive work.

In the first half Penn gained three first-downs to State's one. In the second half, the "Quakers recorded by three first-downs to State's five. Thus, neither aggregation was unable to show enough sustained strength to advance the ball steadily against the other. It was simply Penn's disposition to fumble, lack of alertness and failure to produce- the big punch at tlfc right moment which led to the downfall of the Red and Blue. On the other hand, State's grim determination and fight her alertness in taking advantage of- every Penn mistake the superior kicking of Higgins, and her sureness in the handling of the ball, brought her the triumph a triumph which has further complicated the badly scrambled season of 1919.

There was nothing faiky about State's great victory. The burly visitors did everything better than did the gladiators of Folwell.

State showed a better foot team VPsterday than did Penn rf Wost Phil.i There was a cohe tV, work which was came as tlie resuir 01 a pooriy- handled punt, and an alert recovery by Conover, of State on Penn's 3-yard line. Conover accomplished the other three points -with a fancy pLicement held goal from the 25-yard line. From first to last, it was a gala, if water-soaked occasion, with all the trimmings of the great game it was. The crowded stands, canopied with a black roof of umbrellas, were eloquent testimony of the hold which the gridiron sport has on the people of Philadelphia. They came early, the damp stands being more than half filled at the end of the first half of the Pcnn-Fresh-Virginia Fresh engagement, and there were few vacant seats when Coach Keogh's youngsters disappeared through the doors of the gym lugging 9 to 3 triumph.

The early comers were not only rewarded by a fino display of Freshman football, but they also witnessed the debut of Penn's bands-men in their new uniforms. Sweeping through the south entrance clad in the blue regalias with capes faced in the brilliant red of Penn to the tune of a lively march, the. Quaker dispensers of harmony crossed to the friendly enemy already seated on the north side of the field and paid their respects to their masical rivals with bit of harmony. This little, courtesy over, the State tookh offensive and tore off about fifteen yards of jazz gracious reply. Then came the modern gladiators, the cheers, the toss-up which Penn lost for the first time this season and then the action.

The game was won and lost in the second period. During the first quarter Penn gave a display of power which promised to bring them a triumph, even though likely to be long deferred. During this quarter the Red and Blue kept the oval in enemy territory the biggest part of the time and gained what little ground from scrimmage that was gained at this style of offense by either, team. State, en the other hand, showed a splendid defense, but no offense worthy the name until the second period. Came the second period with two breaks in quick succession for State and the downfall of Old Penn.

Thereafter it was all over except the formality of playing the thing out as provided by the rules. The period opened with the ball in Penn's procession on her own 46-yard line. On the very first play, Bert Bell was downed for a loss of five yards, and "Bots" Brunner promptly panted the heavy ball to State's 10-yard line. Way, the diminutive back from upstate, failed to get under the oval, tried to scoop it up, but the slippery leather evaded him and Heine Miller, with a magnificent dive, covered the ball. Now it was Penn's ball on State's 10-yard line, first down, the only time during the game that the Quakers had possession of the leather within the visitors 25-yard mark.

it was Penn's ena big chance, and ji i ii nior tha inworc on to on a in the a the in of of ball by une, Din tate deiense was lmpregna- I' irst Light dove into the mess and got hut three the burly I)err tried ir and failed, and then Bell shifted his tactics and tried the aerial route. The first effort, Rrumier to Kay Mil- ler was a success, but it netted only a yard, and 1 ran now had only one more chance to cash in or. her glorious op- portumty. Again Pel! elected to try a forward pass but this tune ay inter- opted and it was Mate ball on her lTmS, punted far down the field and Penn had oeen turned oack in what seemed moment of triumph. Dame Fortune had smiled on Perm and Penn had failed to accept the gifts of the Gods.

It was now State's turn, After the Quakers had been held, both teams suddenly adopted a kicking fpme trie judgment of the two gen erals being sound, as the ball was be coming more difficult to handle every moment. It was a Penn back who committed the disastrous error. Standing on his own 26-yard line. Higgins got away one of his herculean kicks. It was a straight carry of kin again eluded him.

Meanwhile the two State ends, followed by five or. six other Blue and White warriors, were pounding down the field, and as Brunner tried a third time to capture the ball, two of them struck him. In a tangle of arms and legs the three went down as the oval bounded toward Penn's goal line, closely pursued by three State men. On the three-yard line all three dived for it. but Conover, State's burly centre, was the successful one.

So quick had all this happened that Conover, believing that he had outraced several other Penn men by only an eyelash, lay quite still, making no effort to scramble over the goal line, a few feet away, and momentarily expecting to be pounced by an opponent, lie finally awoke the fact that he was all s' and scrambled over the line. Itefe, Max-wel, however, ruled that the ball had come to a dead stop and was down the three-yard mark. Now was State's chance, and State made good. But although the men of Penn failed to turn the enemy back, they were great in their failure, for seldom, even in the glorious history of Penn football, has a team made such gritty stand as did the Quakers yesterday with almost certain defeat staring them in the face. First one and then the other of the State backs hurled themselves into the adamcnt Penn line, only to be stopped their tracks.

Haines opened the offensive by taking two mighty cracks at forwards, and only showed a scant yard gain of the three necessary for score. Snell tried an offensive off tackle and got but ayard. It was now fourth down. Could Penn hold, but one more time she was saved. It was not to be.

The State general elected to trust all to Robb, the accomplished State quarter-back, and Robb produced the punch. It 'was a deadly thrust off left tackle to a touchdown and victory. Mightily the State host the north stand split the saturated atmosphere with their triumphant Voices as Cubbage kicked goal and State's seventh point. State's field goal came in the fourth period, the educated toe of Conover accomplished the trick from the 25-yard line. This score was the direct result the most sustained advance of the game the same being an achievement State's, The up-Staters got possession of the on their own 45-yard line.

A series of crushing line punishing dashes Robb, Haines and Snell placed the ball on Penn's 35-yard line, and then Robb got off a forward, pass to Higgins which netted twelve yards. At this point renn braced, and State elected to give Conover's trusty right foot a chance. The big centre proved equal to the task, for despite the sogginess of the ball, he drove it straight between, the goal posts from the IS-yard line, It was a beautiful kick, spleuUidJj exe- a is due. Pittsburgh won and l'lttsburgn TKo hall n'os for the larger part of the game in Lehigh territory and the Panthers gained much more ground than did the Brown and White warriors. They were forever attacking, but for some reason seemed to lack the punch to put over the telling stroke, until towards the end of the game when they uncovered one of Coach Warner's famous old plays.

On a kick formation, such as the Indians used so successfully, Davies, fleet of foot, carried the ball with practically the whole team sweeping to one side of the field ahead of him. Then when most of the Lehigh defenders had been swept down Davies jumped through a gaping hole and ran like a deer over the goal line. The other touchdown came as a break of the game. Only a minute or two remained for operations, and Lehigh in desperation was trying almost anything possible to score. There was no use trying to plough through the line in the short time at hand, so forward passes were used in parts of the field that they would not ordinarily be employed.

It was on one of these plays that Davies caught the ball. He was off like a flash, and before the Lehigh Jefense could concentrate he had outstripped the tackier. Only one man stood between him and the goal line, and that one man was taken out. of the play by a Panther who dashed across the field and bowled him over. Beaten but no means disgraced is the best that.

Lehigh can get out of the game. She may well be proud of her football warriors, for no team ever battled harder and tried more desperately to vin than did Lehigh's eleven this afternoon before an admiring crowd of about 10.O00 cheering souls. It was a gala day here. The weather was fine in the morning, but just about game time rain began to fall. It did not rain heavily at first, and the crowd was not deterred from turning out in large numbers.

But all brought raincoats and umbrellas with them and they I 1. ii ilia rramA nTQC played to a finish. The students were lend into the field bv the college band. And they sang and they cheered. Their team did not lack for support.

Tt was not the cheerers' fault that the Lehigh team did not win. The students never despaired and they did their part equally as well as the footballers were struggling on the field beneath them. The famous Steel band was also on hand to join in and help out. It was a regular tug league game irom start tofinish, and the interest was intense from whistle to whistle. It was just when everyone wtis feeling that the battle would end in a scoreless tie that the Panthers broke loose, and with a mighty sweep.

of their massed and fly-jug interference knocked down the defenses and won the game. Both teams were well tired out at the close of the game. Lehigh had been kept very largely on the defensive because of the lack of a substantial running attack The Lehigh backs could not consistently penetrate the Pittsburgh line, so it was necessary for Harrington to do much punting. The Lehigh kicker held his own well with Hastings and Davies. who shared the kicking honors for the boys from the west end of the State.

There seemed to be little to choose between the teams in that respect, but when it came to line running and plunging the Panthers were superior. Yet the Lehigh defense was so fierce and compact that the Pittsburghers found the greatest difficulty in gaining ground. On the defense Lehigh played a better game than did the enemy, especially is that true of the second line of defenders. To be sure, Pittsburgh was without the services of the mighty DeHart and a of other regulars who are suffering from injuries and are being put in shape for the game with W. and J.
