So Grange wore his ordinary cleats and ran c.rcles around Penn. , . , • What reallv killed Penn that day was Granges second touchdown.

The ball came back to Grange. He bluffed hold ng it. Then suddenly arose, tossed a forward pass to his right end. and was immediately forgotten by Penn's players. Like a flash Grange ran to the right Side-line, caught a lateral pass from this end and. using that player as interference, raced for the second touchdown. ‘ Zupp" had used the play years ago as a II gli school coach and had later tied Chicago with a version of it. It's a masterpiece of football strategy. I Copyright. 1927, Publishers Syndicate.
