...victory. This offset the Pennsylvania attack, and when that was done the team gained its opportunity to win. Here again, in the attack, quickness was the essential feature. The interference was not very smooth, it was not especially steady and was not strong, but the speed and the vigor with which the plays started was sufficient to make long consecutive gains around and through the cumbersome Pennsylvania line.
