the Cornell College Eieren.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov. 2S.-On
Franklin field this afternoon, amid the
cheers OF 5000 people, Pennsylvania closed
the second season of unbroken victories in
football 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 against 46 for Pennsylya-
MIA Pennsylvania scored IL points in the
first half and % in the second. Cornell
scored its two points on safety touch
down from Brooke's fumbling the ball
when it was passed to him for a kick.
Throughout the entire game. with the ex-
ception of a few moments IN the first half,
Pennsylvania offensive and defensive
play was as magnificent an exhibition of
fast, scientific football as has ever been
seen in this city. The Itbacans fought
braveIy, but it was in vain that their backs
hurled themselves against Pennsylvania S
impregnable line.
The field was sheet of slippery mud
from the recent rain, and before the game,
and between the halves, it was necessary
to cover it almost from end to end with
sawdust to enable the players to retain
their footing. There were no objection
able features in the way of smuggling or bru-
tally, and but two men were badly enough
hurt to have to retire. The umpiring and
refereeing of the game was of the highest
order. Overhead the day was a beautiful
one. and the air was almost balmy. Two
immense stands accommodating 5000 peo-
pie each rose tier upon tier on either side
of the field, and as the hour of 2 o'clock
approached they were moving mass of
people. Upon either of the ends of the
field was packed, ten deep. 1000 men and
boys. Pennsylvania had the south stand,
and before and during the game the en-
thusiastic adherents of the red and blue
cheered and sang their college war songs
to the encouragement of their battling
warriors of 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 Ithacans with
their cheers. The Comedians, in the Sec
ond, however, were lost in the thousands
of the frantic yelling Pennsylvanians who
surrounded them on ali sides.
Pennsylvania made its appearance upon
the field at 2:10 o'clock, and the cheers
that greeted them were still splitting the
air when the Cornell boys trotted out.
The Ithacans were given nearly as warm a
greeting as the home players. Referee
Laurie Bliss, Umpire Paul Dashiel and
Captains Wyckoff 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
ruffie the hands of little flags that were
being waved around the field, and through
out the game neither side gained any ad
vantage from this source
Richie kicked off at 2:20 to Pennsyl-
vania's 25-yard line Minds caught the
ball and passed it to Brooke, who punted
to CornelPs 40-yard line. Richie re-
turned the kick and then followed a sue
cession OF plays so rapid that the specta-
tors could hardly realize them. Richie
fumbled Brooke's return kick and Colbert
fell upon the ball on Cornell's 25-yard line.
Three hard plunges and the ball was on
CornelPs seven-yard line. Williams then
executed Pennsylvania famous trick kick,
and Minds, running ahead of the ball, got
in behind Cornell's goal line and scored

Brooke easily kicked the goal amid the
cheers of the onlookers, and the score was
Pennsylvania 6, Cornell 0.
After the kickoff Pennsylvania rapidly
carried the ball forward again, and %

and Hines went around the right end for
another touchdown. Brooke again kicked
the goal, and the score was IL to in favor
of Pennsylvania. The rapidity of Penn
sylvania's play seemed to have paralyzed
Cornell, but now they took brace and
made the only consistent gains OF the
game. Beacham, Cool, Richie, Fitch and
Taussig smashed through the right of Penn
sylvania's line between tackle and guard
for yard after yard. Aided by the fine in
reference of Wyckoff, Beacham went
around Pennsylvania left end for 80
yards to Pennsylvania 20-yard line
This was the nearest Cornell got to Penn.
