PENNSYLVANIA WINS
Her Footballists Easily Defeat the
Cornell Team,
THE SCORE FORTY-sIX TO TWO

A Game Devoid of Roughness and Replete
with Brilliant Plays Cornell Defeated
Through Weak Defense and still Weaker
Interference.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 29-The Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football eleven yes
terday afternoon defeated the Cornell team
by a score of 46 to 2, thus winding up the
football season with clean record of vic
tories to her credit.
Two touchdowns and goal from the
field in the first half and four touchdowns
and a 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 inexcusable
tumble.
Devoid of roughness replete with bril-
liancy, it was just such a game as the foot
ball enthusiast thoroughly enjoys Stra-
tegic play, scientific punts and brilliant
all round interference were the features
of Pennsylvania's game. Cornelps defeat
can be summed up in very few words
weak defense and still weaker interference
That the team, with the exception of Cap
tain Wyckoff, were in the pink of condi
tion there can be no doubt but they were
simply outclassed 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
the Pennsylvania team.
There was considerable fumbling which
can be partly accounted for by the slip
perry condition of the ball Woodruff S
tumble, when he had carried the ball over
hn Cor1,ol1 rrna1 linn Don "a
the loss of touchdown, and Brooke S
tumble of Williams pass gave the Ithaca
boys their only points.
At no time during the entire game was
Pennsylvania goal in danger, the play
being in Cornell's territory nearly all the
time.
Cornells 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-
sidering his condition.
During the 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
the center, while Pennsylvania made her
gains at almost any point which the team
would strike.
Every man on the red and blue eleven
played as though his life deTended upon
the game, and all acquitted themselves
nobly. Brooke made one forty.flve yard
run and also seventy-five 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 a
loss. Woodruff, Minds, Colbert, Williams
and Brooke also played brilliantly.
The teams lined up as follows:
