Whatever hopes Pennsylvania had Of win
ming the intercollegiate championship were
efrectually smothered yesterday afternoon at
Manhattan Field before the eyes OF 1900
spectators. The red and blue kickers faced
the Yale giants and met Waterloo. McCor-
mick and his dashing players rushed Mt the
conqucrors OF the Tigers In the first hall.
and scored twenty-five points before the
Philadelphians seemed to be aware that
the game was in progress. Tho Yalo rushers
broke through the supposedly impregnable
centre OF the Fcnnsylvanians for large sue
cessive gains. They got around the ends Tor
astonishngly long runs. assisted by magntl-

rescue Thorn from their condition OF timidity.

hands failed to restore Quaker confidence.
