Cornell Team.
THE SCORE FoRTY-sIx TO TWO.

A Gamc Devoid of Roushness and RepIete
with Brilliant Piays-CorneiI Defeated
Through Weak Defense and Still weakes
Interference.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-The Univer-
slty of Pennsylvania football eleven yes
terday afternoon defeated the Cornell team
by score Of 40 to 2, thus winding up tho
football season with clean record of vio-
tories to her credit.
Two touchdowns and goal from the
field in the first half, and four touchdowns
and goal from the field In the second
half was the record of the red and blue,
while the ithaca boys were able to make
but two points during the entire game,
and this was due to Brookes inexcusnble
tumble.
Devoid Of roughness, replete with brill
liancy, it was just such game as the foot
ball enthusiast thoroughly enjoys. Stra-
teglc play, scientific punts and brilliant
all round interference wero the features
OF Pennsyivania's game. Cornell's defeat
can bc summed up in very few words
weak defense and still weaker interference.
That tho team, with the exception of Cap
tain Wyckoff, were in the pink of condi.
tion there can be no doubt, but they were
simply outolassed. Their fullback, Ritchie,
was lamentably weak, and an exchange of
kicks between he and Brooke was always
good for from ten to twenty yards gain for
thePennsylvania team.
There was considerable fumbllng, which
can be partly accounted for by the slip
perry condition of tho ball. Woodruff's
tumble when he had carried the ball over
the Cornell goal line, cost Pennsylvania
the loss OF q touchdown, and Brookes
tumble of Williams pass gave the Ithaca
boys their only points.
At no time during the entire game was
Pennsylvania's goal In danger, the play
being in Cornell's territory nearly oil the
time.
Cornelrs eleven was weak, but there
were individual players on the team who
covered themselves with glory. Beacham
at left halfback, Fitch at left tackle and
Sweetland at right tackle played bril-
liantly, as did also Captain Wyckoff, con-
eidering his condition.
During tho first half Beacham was used
at every opportunity, and he generally
managed to gain from two to five yards
before being thrown. But the strain was
too much for him, and he was intrusted
with the ball but comparatively little In
the second half.
Cornells gains were made through left
tackle, and an occasional advance through
bne CenttFi Whiie Gtnn5ylNhnla hAue nef
gains at almost any point which tho team
would strike.
Every man on the red and blue eleven
played as though his life depended upon
the game, and all acquitted themselves
nobly. Brooke made one forty five yard
run and also a seycnty-flve yard run, but
in the latter the ball was brought back and
given to Cornell for holding. Minds also
made one run of forty five yards and Gel
bert carried the ball forty yards through the
entire Cornell team before being caught
from behind by Taussig. Farrar at right
tackle, played his best game of the season.
Time and again did he break through and
throw the Cornell men, frequently for q
loss. Woodruff, Minds Colbert, Williams
and Brooke elso played brilliantly.
The teams lined up as follows:
