PENN 14 PARSONS 7 Oskaloosa, Iowa, Oct. 8, 1938. The Penn College Quakers pulled a mild upset by defeating the Wildcats 14-7 in the first conference engagement of the Faurot men. The victors tallied early in the opening quarter as the direct result of a blocked punt. The rest of the half was fairly evenly played with neither team showing a consistent offense. The Parsonites came out fighting at the start of the last half and shortly produced the tying tally, George McClain going over from the one-yard marker. The Quakers were unable to penetrate the solid Wildcat line so they took to the air to score the winning touchdown late in the game.
