field this afternoon, amidst the cheers Of
5000 people, Pennsylvania closed the sec
ond season Of unbroken victories in foot
hall by overwhelmingly defeating the
Cornell College eleven. From start to
finish Cornell was never in the game, and
and when time was called they had but
two solitary points to place against forty
six for Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania scored seventeen points
in the first half and twenty-nine in the
second. Cornell scored it's two points on
a safety touchdown from Broke fumbling
the balrwhen it was passed to him for a
kick.
Throughout the entire game, with the
exception of few moments in the first
half, Pennsylvania offensive and defen-
sive play was as magnificent an exhibit
ton OF fast, scientific football 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 Pennsylvania i'm
pregnable line, or attempted to skirt the
ends, and toward the last it only became
a question of time for the red and blue
to score touchdown after touchdown.
The Held was simply a sheet of slippery
mud from recent rains, and before the
game and between the halves it was nee
essary to cover it almost from end to end
with sawdust to enable the players TO
retain their footing.
Although hard-played game, there
were no Objectionable features in the
way OF smuggling or brutality, and but
ewo men were badly enough hurt 10 have
TO retire. The umpiring and refereeing
and so fairly did both sides play that
not more than three or four times were
the officials compelled to penalize either
team.
Pennsylvania has defeated every team
they have played this season, and as
tney are the only one OF the Big Four
10 do this, they claim they are justly en-
football world.
Overhead the day was a beautiful one
and the air was almost balmy. Two i'm
mense stands accommodating 5000 people
each rose tier upon tier on either side
of the field, and as the hour of o'clock
approached they were a moving mass
of people. Upon either end of the field
We're packed ten deep four thousand men
and boys.
Pennsylvania had the south stand and
before and during the game the enthu-
sastic adherents of the red and blue
cheered and cheered and sang their col
lege war songs to the encouragement
of their battling warriors of the grid
iron.
Cornell had a section of the north stand
and some 800 or 400 followers of the red
and white strove to hearten the Ithicans
with their cheers. The Comedians in
the stand, however, were lost in the
thousands of frantic, yelling Pennsyl-
vanians who surrounded them on all
sides.
Pennsylvania made it appearance upon
the field at 2:10 O'Clock and the cheers
air when the Cornell boys trotted out. The
1thicans were given nearly as warm a
greeting as the home players.
Referee Laurie Bliss, Umpire Paul
Dashed and Capts. Wyckoff and Williams
held a short consultation in the center of
the field. Williams won the toss and
choose the west goal and gave Cornell the
ball. The wind was barely strong enough
TO ruftie the hundreds of little flags that
throughout the game neither side gained
any advantage from this source. Richie,
for Cornell, kicked off at 2:2O O'Clock.

gains, but as a punter he again stood pre-
eminent. Some of his punts Were ire
mendous, and Pennsylvania constantly
gained from ten to thirty yards on the
exchange of kick between Brooke and
Wyckof and Richie. When the game was
over the crowd surged out into
the field and carrying Brooke off
of his feet raised him upon the
shoulders of shouting men and boys
in triumph from the field. For Cor
nell, Wyckoff fully sustained his reputa-
ton as one of the finest quarterback
players. His passing was quick and ac-
curate and he got off his punts IN mar
vellOusly quick time. Beacham Taussig
and Lisle' also played finely.
