CORNElIL'S DEFEAT.
 PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 17.-On a field that was slippery as a sheet of ice and as treacherous as a quagmire on ac. count of the hard rain this morning, Penn- sylvania beat Cornell this afternoon by score of to 0 in one of the best played games of football ever seen in this city. The Ithacans played magnificent game, and if their aggressive strength had been equal to their defensive play, Pennsylvania might have come out the vanquished 1n- stead of the victor. Two halves of thirty five minutes were played. In the first hall neither side scored, and it was only after twenty eight minu play in the second half that Pennsylvania succeeded In mak- ing touchdown, from which goal was kicked.
 In tLe first half Cornell carried the ball to Pennsylvania fifteen yard line and there lost it for holding it. Brooke then kicked the pig skin out of danger and the Ithacans lost their chance. Pennsylvan1a's goal was never again so nearly approached by the Tearers of the red and white during the bala- @ of the game.
 In the it half Cor Ill frequently got the ball as @-e as Pt .nsylvanla's thirty yard line. bu. T sou reason Ohl did not attempt any got.,, fr' the field.
 Throughout th. entire game Cornell played with a snap and earnestness that gave the Quakers all they could do 10 hold them in check and Pennsylvania played good game, but they lacked the fierce, feverish energy that carried them to victory through Princeton's line. They certainly failed to carry the bali forward with the resistless rush they showed week ago. The famous interference play that burst through Princeton's line again and again was met gallanily by Cornell and in most instances was of but little service.
 Both teams played an open game, with plenty of kicking and running eff the ends. In this style of play Pennsylvania was su- perior to Cornell, and most of the Quakers' gains were made around the enos by Os- good and Gelbert. OhPs bunting was disappointment to the spectators, and at times he kicked well, but frequently his punts were so feeble that they only carried Ehe Pennsylvania forwards broke through and blocked a kick for him. Brooke showed up In his usual fine form, and his kicking was one of the features of the game. In addition, he made Pennsylvania's touch- down and kicked the goal.
 Ohl played star game for Cornell, aside from his kicking. His line bucking brought large gains for Cornell and he car ried the ball we'll around the ends. Dyer and Morgan showed up strong in line bucking, but made few gains around the ends. All the Cornell forwards played well and the ends outplayed those of Penn sylvania.
 The fall off in the Pennsylvania's play 1TOul tue ITluC6tOu Sdlut uby Do iully dC. counted for by the absence at half back of Captain Knipe and Left Tackle Wagon hurst in the line.
 Both men are suffering from injuries to their legs received in the Princeton game, and it was thought best that they should ave themselves for the hard games. The absence of these two players shifted all the men about. Gelbert went from left end to half back and Upton took his place at the end and Farrar played tackle in place of Wagonhurst.
 The day was most unauspicious for the game, for all the morning it rained hard, and when the two captains approached for calling the game the rain slackened and only fine drizzle was falling. Great prt parations had been made for the game by Pennsylvania. Two enormous stands, capable of seating 15, GOO people, had been erected on the university athletic field, and if the day had been fair there would proba- ply have been that many people present. As it was there were 5000 people present. Many of these were ladies.
 Before the players appeared the cross- country-run teams of Cornell and Peun- sylvania started from before the grand stand for their race, and as they returned before the game began with Pennsylvania the victor the followers of the red and blue let themselves loose and cheered for some minutes.
 The football teams appeared on the field about the same time and were loudly cheered.
