lehigh gasping in the first defeat of the season aided the bullets in the 14-0 catastrophe saturday at taylor stadium previous to this touchdown get tysburg had been strictly on the defensive an effective defense however — and had repulsed three lehigh scoring threats but the lehigh morale weakened by hav ing gettysburg complete four suc cessive passes broke and gave the visitors a decided edge in the last half gettysburg was unable to ad vance beyond midfield once dur ing the first half but found itself in the second half and the bullet scored in each of the closing per iods scores after intermission after receiving the opening kick off in the second half the gettys burg team started on their own 35 yard line combined an effective running attack with short passes and covered the remaining distance to the lehigh goal line in eight plays the second touchdown came in the closing minutes of the fourth period after a blocked punt had placed the ball on the lehigh 12 yard line anglemoyer went over for a touchdown on the next play the heavier and faster gettys burg line which the lehigh for wards had met on equal terms dur ing the first half asserted itself in the closing periods and opened wide gaps in the lehigh line through which the gettysburg backs ran with devastating effect not con tent with its running attack as a means to advance the bullets fre quently resorted to forward passes which were equally as effective as the ground plays particularly a short pass which carried no more than five yards and was successful on each attempt lehigh attack

lived for after recovering the ball the brown and white offense dominated the play in this half runs by sindel and ware the latter getting loose for a 25 yard gain brought the ball to the get tysburg 15 yard line but the bul lets line stiffened and lehigh's first chance to score was lost two incompleted passes and a fumble gave gettysburg the ball on their 10 yard line immediately after the visitors punted nora put lehigh in scor ing position again when he reeled off a 25 yard run mccloy saving a score by bringing him down with a brilliant tackle on the bullets 40 yard line a pass from ware to nora advanced the ball ten yards and ware added ten more on an end run bringing the ball to the 20 yard line the second scoring chance was lost when mcmillan in continued on page four the
