A LAFAYETTE Leopard lushed, slashed and ripped to shreds the 0 1, Ol I.IKHIieil DIKUI) IU1S afternoon, but could not scratch Its powerful heart, and after sixty minutes of hitler, bloody battling 111 the Bucknell slailium two magnificent elevens terday afternoon, and bagged Penn State by a score of 14 to 0. A colorful crowd of 65,000 football devotees, all awakened from an Indian Summer siesta to a frenzy of enthusiasm for the great fall sport by a brisk breeze from the northwest, rocked Penn'B huge stadium as the huntsman in Red and Blue let fly with the first barrel about the middle of the opening period, and shot Paul Murphy four yards straight through the heart of the raging Lion fcr a touchdown. Then, early in the second quarter, the Quaker sharpshooter delivered the second barrel, a totally unexpected shot that drove Captain Paul Scull, one of Pcnn's human bullets, through the stricken beast from gore-flecked muzzle to lashing tail, seventy-four yards for the second and last touchdown of the afternoon.

It was Scull himself who pulled the trigger for this devastating bullseye, for his run had its inception in an intercepted State forward pass speared by the Penn leader on his own 26-yard line. This One Pouched the Lion This was the amazing accurate shot that pouched the big game; this the murderous fire that destroyed the Lion, which clawed the Quaker so painfully last year. For, working behind a fourteen point lead, Penn was a 50 to 1 shot to win. Thua was Penn avenged for that humiliating 20 to 0 reverse at the hands of State last season; thus did the Red and Blue football machine of 1928 cross the goal line successfully defended by Bezdek coached teams on Franklin Field since 1922. The Quaker team of 1920 scored one touchdown against Penn.

Again, in 1922, the Red and Blue crossed State's goal line. Two touchdowns were scored against Bezdek teams from 1919 to 1927, inclusive the same number achieved by Penn's current team yesterday in a single half. Small wonder the jubilant Quaker is celebrating as the hide of the Lion is being draped on the walls of the trophy room in the Palestra. OWLS BREAK FORTH VILLANOVA PROVES left the Held, their goal lines untarnished In a scoreless deadlock. Only a heart of iron, a moral courage unshaken by adversity and flint-edged by the grinding forco of determination kept the Thundering Ucrd from defeat.

In the first half honors were almost even, with the Leopards having the slight advantage iu yardage gained, but in the linal two periods the Maroon swarmed all over the Orange and Itlue, tearing its line to shreds anil knifing iis ends until tho twenty thousand Itucknell rooters in the stands gasped and held their breath In mortal fear of a touchdown.
