CORNELL WAS NEVER IN IT
SHE WAS NO MATCH FOR THE FOOT
 B1LL MEN OF PENNSYLV4NI4.

The Game Was Played on a Field of Slip
 pery Mud-While it Was Hard Played
 There Were No objectionable Eeatures-
 Both S des Pa, ed Fairly.
 Philadelphia, Nov 2s,-on Franklin field this afternoon, amidst the cheers of 16.0oO persons, the University of Penn sylvania closed the season of unbroken , victories in football by defeating the [ Cornell college eleven by the score of
 46 to ?.
 From start to finish Cornell was nev- \ CT in the game. Pennsylvania scored 17 ! points in the first half and 29 in the
 second. Cornell scored it's two points on safety-touchdown from Brooke's
 fumbling the ball when passed to him X for kick. Throughout the entire game, with the exception of few moments \ in the first half, Pennsylvania's offen-
 sive and defensive play was as mag nificent an exhibition of fast scientific l football as has ever been seen in this
 city. Overweighted, outplayed and swept away before the furious on-
 slaughts of the Quakers the Ithacans N { their backs hurled themselves against Pennsylvania's impregnable line or at tempted to skirt the ends, and towards ] the last it only became question of time for the red and blue to score S touchdown after touchdown. The field
 was simply a sheet of slippery mud from recent rain, and before the game
 and between the halves it was neces- sary to cover 1t 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 slugging or brutality, and but two men were badly enough hurt to retire. The umpiring and refereeing
 were of the highest order, and so fairly did both sides play that no more than three or four times were the officials compelled to penalize either team. Pennsylvania has defeated every team 1t has played this season, and it claims the championship of the college football
 world. Overhead the day was beautiful
 and the air almost balmy. Two stands { holding 5000 rose on either side, and upon the ends of the field were packed 4,000 more.
 Pennsylvania had the south side and the adherents of the red and blue
 cheered and sang to encourage their
 team. Cornell had a section on the north stand and some three or four hundred men strove to hearten the ! Ithacans.
 The Cornellians, however, were lost In the thousands of yelling Pennsylva-
 nians who surrounded them The Penn sylvania team appeared on the field at 2:1o and were greeted with loud cheers. The Corne1ls soon followed and were given nearly as warm greeting as the s home players. Referee Laurie Bliss, Umpire Paul Dashiel and Captains Will 5 Hams and Wyckoff held a consultation, Williams won the toss and chose the west goal and gave Cornell the ball. The wind was light and gave neither { side any advantage. Ritchie kicked off at 2:20 to Pennsylvania's twenty \ yard line Minds caught the ball and S passed It to Brooke, who punted to Cor ( nell's forty-yard line. Ritchie returned { the kick. Ritchie fumbled Brookes re- turn kick and Gilbert fell upon the ball on Cornells twenty five-yard line. Three hard plunges and the ball was on Cornells seven-yard line. Williams then executed Pennsylvania's famous trick kick and Minds running ahead of the ball, got it behind Cornell's goal line and scored the first touchdown in three minutes. Brooke easily kicked the goal amid cheers and the score was: Pennsylvania 6, Cornell 0.
 Pennsylvania rapidly carried the ball forward again and a twenty-yard run around the left end by Gilbert landed khe bali on Cornell's ten-yard line. Two
 mass plays on the line followed and Minds went around the right end for
 another touchdown. Brooke again
 kicked the goal and the score was F
 to in favor of Pennsylvania. The
 rapidity of Pennsylvania's play seemed
 to have paralyzed the Cornells, but now
 they took brace and Beacham, Cool,
 Ritchie, Fitch and Taussig smashed through the right side of Pennsylvania's s
 line between tackle and guard for yard
 after yard.
 Aided by the fine interference of
 Wickoff, Beacham went around Penn
 svlyanfa's left end for thirty yards to
 Pennsylvania forty-yard line. This
 was the nearest the Cornells got to
 Pennsylvania's goal in the first half
 They lost the ball here. On kick from
 Wickoff, Brooke took the ball and pass
 ed through the entire Cornell team and was only overtaken and thrown on Cor
 nelrs five-yard line. For foul interfer-
 ence, however, the run was not allowed.
 Latter on Wickoff kicked to the forty
 yard line and Brooke got free catch
 and kicked the ball between the goal
 posts. The score was now F to in
 favor of Pennsylvania and a few mo-
 ments afterwards time was called.
 Brooke started the second half by
 kicking off to Cornell's twenty-five
 yard line. Pennsylvania rapidly rush
 ed the ball up to Cornell's three-yard
 line and Dickson went through the
 right tackle for a touchdown. Brooke
 kicked the goal and the score was 23
 to in favor of Pennsylvania. In the
 course of further play Pennsylvania
 lost the ball twice on fumbles. Fin
 ally Wiekoff punted to Pennsylvania s
 seven-yard line. Williams passed the
 ball to Brooke to kick. Brooke fum-
