B—7 Ou_t_g_améd Penn Eleven Strikes Quickly to Upset Middies, 14-7 PENALTY ERASES ‘NAVY TOUCHDOWN Play Is Called Back After Wood Races 72 Yards Across Goal. By the Associated Press. HILADELPHIA, Oct. 30.—Penn- sylvania’s twice-beaten football team found its real strength today, to emerge triumphant over Navy by a 14-to-7 score, in & hard-fought game before & crowd of 63,000. The Quakers, underdogs before the game, three times turned back Navy scoring threats in the first quarter and then struck with startling sudden- ness to build up a two-touchdown lead that Navy was unable to overcome. The midshipmen scored their lone touchdown in the third quarter. All the statistics except the score were in favor of Navy, which time after time drove deep into Pennsyl- vania territory, only to falter before it reached pay dirt. A courageous Penn line, backed up by hard-hitting defensive backs, led by Don Dresher, repelled all but one of the Navy threats. Pertalty Prevents Navy Score. NAVY rolled up 18 first downs to five for Penn and 165 yards fropt scrimmage to 54 for the Quakers. Ah offside penalty cost Navy a touchdown and possibly a tie score. After Penn had scored its first touch- down, Emmett Wood, Navy halfback, broke loose for a 72-yard touchdown jaunt only to see the play recalled by the officials. The Quakers showed their real power in the first touchdown drive— a march of 80 yards. Two passes, one from Koepsell to Dresher good for 36 yards and effective line plays took them to the 4-yard line, where Walt Daly, sophomore fullback, plunged for the score. After Wood's fruitless run the Navy back fumbled and O'Neill recovered for Penn to set the stage for Shinn, Quaker tackle, to try a placement kick for a field goal. Powell blocked the try. Middies Capitalize on Fumble. MOMENT later Gustafson, Penn end, blocked Ingram’s attempted kick and Mischo, his running mate, picked up the ball and lugged it 43 yards for the second Penn touchdown. Shinn place-kicked both extra points. Dresher’s fumble midway of the third quarter paved the way for Navy's touchdown. The Penn back attempt- ed to kick and fumbled, Dougherty-re- covering for Penn on the two, where Dresher kicked out to his 47, Cooke returning the ball 18 yards. Cooke and Wood then put on a dis- play of sheer power, ripping through Penn’s line or around its ends until Wood finally carted the ball over from the 1-yard line. Line-ups and Summary.

Zimmerman then faded back and | shot a bulletlike pass to Bill Bennis, who made a brilliant, fingertip catch and was nailed by Trosko on the Michigan five. Zimmerman reached the Michigan three, when he fumbled. The ball bounded over the goal line and Willard Cramer, Illini tackle, re- covered for a touchdown. Bill Berner's conversion try was low. Michigan’s alert secondary gave the Wolverines their chance for victory in the closing minutes of the same period. Bill Barclay intercepted one of Zim- merman’s passes on the Wolverine 44. Trosko shot a pass to Danny Smick, which put Michigan on the Illinois 47. Trosko and Barclay alternated in smashing to the Illinois 39. Then Trosko dropped back 5 yards and shot & long pass diagonally across the fleld. Nicholson took Trosko's aerial on the 14 and ran unmolested over the goal line. Trosko booted the winning point.

Y, Oct. 30.—A thrill-packed last-half rally by an afoused Syracuse eleven brought it a 19-13 victory over Penn State today before 12,000 wildly cheering fans in Archbold Stadium. The Orange, made to appear like a soft touch in the first half by & hard- fighting Nittany Lion varsity, took Ossie Solem’s half-time lecture to heart and came back to score 19 points with an amazing reversal of form. Little Rabbit Wear, diminutive backfield ace of Penn State who ran Syracuse ragged in the first half, saw one of his frantic last-period passes go astray as Wilmeth Sidat Singh, Syracuse Hindu halfback, grabbed it to run 25 yards for the winning touch- down, Singh Sparks Syracuse. INGH, the Hindu, was the spark in the sudden Syracuse show of strength. He swept around the ends, hit the line and pitched strikes with his passes to set the stage for the first score, bring about the second and per- sonally account for the third and win- ning one. Sidat’s 10-yard toss to Quarterback Bill Hoffman deep in Statg territory and his own 10-yard off-tackle thrust set up the first score for Harold Ruth, speedy reserve back. Syracuse then drove goalward three | times before thwarting a determined State eleven to score the tying touch- down. Again it was Sidat's passes, a 10-yarder to Adam Markowski, re- serve end, and a 15-yard scoring toss to Ruth that took the ball over in two plays from the 25-yard mark. Sidat Intercepts Pass. Jm BRUETT, substitute Syracuse tackle, missed the kick from place- ment that would have put the Orange ahead, but Sidat Singh settled that a short time later by intercepting Wear's | pass and sprinting 25 yards for the score without having a hand touch him.
