Penn Beats Yale 16-13 Before 60,000 Fans

Yale's First Score Open to Question NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 17. -From the press coop it did not look as if Yale went over for : a touchdown the first time she crossed the Penn goal line. It looked as if the play--it was on the fourth down -had been stopped inches away from the chalk mark. So certain were many of the spectators that the ball had not crossed that the Penn men gave a mighty cheer, as the Yale eleven huddled around and finally went over, throwing their arms in the air. Of course, the officials were in a position to see the play more clearly than the writers, but it was noticed that when. the mass separated the ball rested squarely against the chalk mark on the field side of the line. a hero's role today. Towering above them all was a squat, bald-headed juggernaut, who battered Yale into helplessness and drew the fangs of the Bulldog. He was Al Kruez, full-back of the victorious host, and his labor today was adorned by a personal glory that others might share, but none could jeopardize. It was Kruez who rent the line asunder and tore apart the foe as Penn marched on and on up that scarred grass to victory. It was Kruez who held the legions of Jones impotent, as his valiant toe by vigorous punt robbed Yale of the terrain that her rushes had gained.- It was Kruez who splintered the forward defense. time and again, as Penn galloped over the sward to those beckoning touchdowns. Kruez, it was. whose mighty foot spat forth that field goal that clinched | triumph and chained defeat. It was Kruez, majestic on the offense, whose tackles time and again smeared Blue warrior ere he could get past the line of scrimmage. was Kruez who was here, there everywhere, a sinister man in Red and who seemed to rise before the Bulldog, whenever he squatted for a spring, or leaped for the throat of his rival. In all the measure of effort he has given to his Alma Mater, in all the golden splendor of his labors, as gladiator for Old Penn, Kruez has never risen to the heights to which he climbed today. To Yale he spelled the difference between victory and defeat. To Penn he was superman, whose deeds were as golden dreams come true. But Kruez, majestic as he performed. his feats, could not have beaten the foemen singlehanded. There was Rogers, frail slender, but unbreakable, who abetted Albert in every sortie, who had checkmated Yale often when some prowling back escaped tife primary defense, and was set for that goal line ahead. Rogers, too. was the lad who bore down the field 35 yards after receiving a punt, and then tossed a forward pass for 25 more that led Penn forward to its second score. He vied with Kruez in valor. and seconded every Continued on 2d Page, 1st Column 0 Substitutions- RED AND BLUE ELEVEN FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY BEATS YALE Al Kruez, Charley Rogers and Stan Sieracki Play Stellar Roles in Downfall of Bulldogs; Yale Stages Great Rally in Final Half, But Quakers Early Lead Saves Day and Turns Back Elis By GORDON MACKAY HAVEN.

Sixty thousand witnessed this first victory of Red and Blue over Yale. The glory of this initial achievement is written in two touchdown,s scored Leith and Kruez and a goal placement that was spun from the accurate toe of Penn's valourous full : feat that measured the margin of triumph that separated the legions of Young from the rivals. Twice an infuriated Bulldog clawed, ripped and tore at the conquering host from Pennsylvania, and twice the Blue battered and smashed its way to touchdowns. But when defeat threatened, when the Pennsylvanians' hearts were gripped by a sinister fear that Old Eli would triumph, that massive fighting spirit, that dauntless desire for battle quelled the foe and brought glory to glint the pennons of Old Pennsylvania. For thirty-two years have re the sons of the University across the murky Schuylkill waited for Der Tag. In all that era born of feuds between Quaker Blue, they have held their hopes that some day a victorious legion from Philadelphia would invade the huge saucer and return with the canine muzzled and overthrown. Through all those empty years they! have been buoyed with the hope of conquest, that fate would one day yield to Penn's impetuous pleadings and grant victory to the Red and Blue.
