Philadelphia, Nov. 2S.-On Franklin
Field this afternoon, amidst the cheers
Of 10. 900 people, Pennsylvania closed the
second season Of unbroken victories In
foot ball by overwhelmingly defeating
the Cornell college eleven. From start
to finish Cornell was never In the game
and when time was called they had but
two solitary points to place against
forty-six for Pennsylvania. Pennsyl-
vania scored seventeen points in the
first half and twenty-nine in the Sec
ond. Cornell scored its two points on
a safety touchdown from Brooke fum-
bling the ball when 1t was passed to
him for a kick.
Throughout the entire game, with the
exception of few moments In the first
half, Pennsylvania's offensive and de-
fensive play was as magnificent an ex-
hibition of fast, scientific foot ball as
has ever been seen In this city. Over
weighted. outplayed and swept away
before the furious onslaughts of the
Quakers the Ithicans fought bravely,
but it was in vain that their backs
hurled themselves against Pennsylva"
MAS impregnable line or attempted to
skirt the ends. and toward the last II
only became a question of time for the
red and blue to score touchdown after
touchdown.
The field was simply sheet OF Slip
perry mud from recent rains, and Derore
the game and between the halves 1t was
necessary to cover It almost from end
to end with sawdust to enable the play
ers to retain their footing. Although a
hard played game, there was no OBJ
1ectionable features In the way OF
smuggling or brutality, and but two men
were badly enough hurt to have TO re-
tire. The umpiring and refereelng OF
the game was of the highest oraer anu
so fairly did both sides play tnat not
more than three or four times were the
officials compelled to penalize either

ery team they have played this season

Four to do this. they claim they are
Justly entitled to the championship oi

Pennsylvania had the south stand ana
before and during the game the en-
thusiastic adherents Of the red ana
blue cheered and cheered and sang
their college war songs to the encour-
agement of their battling warriors or
the gridiron. Cornell had a section OF
the north stand and some three or
four hundred followers Of the red and
white strove to hearten the lthicans
with their cheers. Pennsylvania MADE
it's appearance upon the field at 2l0
O'Clock. and the cheers that greeted
them were still splitting the air when
the Cornell boys trotted out. The
Ithicans were giving nearly as warm
q greeting as the home players.
Referee Laurie Bliss, Umpire Paul
Dashiell and Captains WyckOn and
williams held a short consultation In
the center of the field. Williams won
the toss and chose the west goal and
gave Cornell, the ball. The wind was
barely strong enough to ruff1e the hun
dreds of little flags that were being
waved around the field, and throughout
the game neither side gained any ad-
vantage from this source. Richie
kicked off to Pennsylvania's twenty
five yard line. Minds caught the ball
and passed 1t to Brooke who punted to
Cornell's forty-yard line. Ritchie re-
turned the kick and then followed q
succession of plays SO rapid that the
spectators could hardly realize them.
Ritchie fumbled Brooks return kick
and Colbert fell upon the ball on Cor
nelPs twenty-five yard line. Three
hard plunges and the ball was on Cor
nelrs seven-yard line. Williams then
