...would have beaten them more but for the referee. We had three touchdowns which were not allowed. Pennsylvania did not once have the ball inside of our 25-yard line through the excellent play of our backs, Baker and Lamar, who are playing beautifully.

Mayelon is a Schnectady fireman. Layler played on the Gloversville nine with Pendergrass last year. He was afraid that one of the foul tips would break the 'dormitory. winder.' McElwain is a post-graduate. All the rest of the nine are claimed to be college...
