Penn Coach Says 38 Yard Reverse Run Was Mistake
In Philadelphia the Penn 38 yard run in reverse on a late play caused a controversy between quarterbacks. Penn led 19 14 with four minutes left when Bob Odell ran into his own end zone for a safety and a free kick. Coach George Munger accepted responsibility and would not repeat the call. Sports writers call the play dumb, fearing a turnover if Odell mishandled the ball and Columbia might have won.
