Pottsville Tumbles 4 Horsemen (continued)
Stuhldreher, immediately opened with forward passes, but the first two hit the sod. The third found the
swift quarterback retreating with remarkable speed from close formation to hurl the ball when in full flight
diagonally across the field to Crowley who sprinted 15 yards to place teh leather on Pottsville's 37 yard line.
Then Layden rammed through and was losse. He eluded the secondary defense, dodged by Ernst while his
interference cut down French and ran to the goal, only to be recalled and Notre Dame penalized for starting
ahead of the ball.
Layden plowed through the line for 3 yards and Crowley knifed off tackle for two more.
On the next play, Stuhldreher whipped a pass to Miller and the fleet halfback lugged the leather to the
15-yard mark. He too, was recalled and another off-side penalty inflicted.
GOAL LEGAL AT LAST
It was made up on the following formation when Stuldreher hurled to Miller again, this time for a 12-yard
gain. Then Pottsville was offside and the ball went to the Horsemen, first down, on the 20-yard mark.
Stuldreher himself carried the oval on the next play and skirted the end for 3 yards, but another off-
sides decision put the Horsemen back 5 yards.
Another overhead thrust, via Stuldreher and Crowley, put the leather only 8 yards from the goal. Crow-
ley bounced off tackle for two yards and then came a break which favored the Horsemen. An overly eager
Maroon linemen jumped ahead of the ball and a 5-yard penalty was inflicted on Pottsville. The ball was only
a yard from the last white line.
In one lunge Layden made the distance and was acorss.
Pottsville came out for the third period like a college team. The Maroons were running over with spirit
and it showed very plainly on the return of the kickoff.
The ball fell into the hands of Eddie Doyle, a tackle. His interfernce formed about him and he raced 44
yards before he was downed. There was some unnecessary roughness piling on the tackle and Pottsville was
given and an additional 15 yards. This brought the leather to Notre Dame's 22 yard line.
An offside penalty and the required 10 yards for first down proved too much for the Maroons and they
lost the ball on downs, but the Horsemen's punt carried only to the 38-yard mark and Pottsville was off again.
LATONE AND MAHRT GAIN GROUND
Latone made a vigorous rush at the line. With head bent low he crashed into the defense and gained 8
yards. Mahrt added 4 more for a first down on the 26-yard line.
On the next four plays the ball was intrusted to the worthy arms of Latone and he scored another first
down, this time 16 yards from the goal.
Ernst raced off tackle for 2 yards but lost 4 when Hunsinger, as capable an end as ever roved a Phila-
delphia gridiron, threw him behind the scrimmage line.
Ernst took a look at the Notre Dame secondary. The center backs and wing backs were up close to the
line, figuring on supporting the forwards against the lunges of Latone. The former Lafayette quarterback
fooled them by calling a pass. He took the ball from the center and tossed toward Latone, who had
sprinted down the field.
Latone turned as he reached the 5-yard line and big arms wrapped themselves around the ball as he
was about to cross the goal. Another step he scored.
HORSEMEN LARRUP STEEDS
The Horsemen got up some momentum late in the third period, but before the attack advanced very far
Mahrt brought it to an abrupt end by intercepting a forward pass and running 5 yards to his own 30-yard line.
After a short drive, which netted one first down. Ernst punted neatly out of counds on the 4-yard line and
the return kick carried only to the Horsemen's 27-yard mark.
Latone shot through the line so speedily the secondary must have thought he was the interference. He was
overlooked by the center back as he bolted past him, but he lost his feet and was stopped after a 16-yard
gain. He made 6 yards on the next two plunges and Pottsville was only 5 yards away from a touchdown when
the period ended.
The Horsemen's defense braced and Latone was stopped flat on the next play. With four yards to go for
first down, Ernst called for a pass, which he threw over the goal. Berry tried to make a shoestring catch,
but the best he could do was to get the ball on the first bounce.
Notre Dame's grads began another determined passing assault, and the ball was moved from the 20-yard
line to close to the midfield. Another heave gained 27 yards, but it was recalled when Linemen Bennis ruled
the Horsemen offside.
A few seconds later Stuhldreher was tackled as he was about to pass. The ball hit the ground and Duke
Osborne, former Penn State athlete, picked it up and sprinted to the 2-yard line. However, that play was also
ruled out.
LAYTON KICKS 60 YARDS
Layton, who had been out of hte game throughout the entire third period, rushed in and punted. It was a
beautiful kick and traveled 60 yards on the fly. Ernst caught it and was thrown in his tracks by Collins. Hun-
singer was down under the boot byt was severely injured as he was clipped and had to be carried from the field.
At this point the great drive began with Latone as the battering ram. Five times in succession he carried
the leather and gained a total of 29 yards.
Wentz whizzed off tackle for 4 yards but Ernst signaled for Latone again and the Wilkes-Barre bearcat
plunged through for first down on the Horsemen's 42-yard mark.
