PHILADELPHIA, Nov 27.-Pennsylvania,
30; Cornell, 10. The Pennsylvania foot
ball eleven wound up the season Of '9e
yesterday afternoon by playing pretty
much the same kind of game as she has
done all season-at times brilliant, while
at other times it would have put to shame
q lot of school boys Cornell played
really brilliant game throughout, With
the exception Of Bassford, atquarter, their
play was almost perfect, and had it not
been for the fact that the team was so
much lighter than the Red and Blue there
would not have been thirty-two points
scored against them
There were very few attempts at tricks
by either team. Cornell once used n trick,
the first time that it has been seen on
Penn's gridiron this season, and gained
five yards. The Ithaca lads lined up but
no signals were given, Beacham walked
up slowly towards the center, ostensibly
for the purpose of saying something to the
quarterback but in reality he grabbed the
ball from the center and dashed through
Penn's center before the Red and Blue
players realized what was transpiring.
The Carnelian and White also tried
Princetons famous turtle back play, but
they lost ground each time by the expert
ment, the Red and Blue line holding like
a stone wall. The interference of Cornell
was always up to the standard, which par
TALLY accounts for the brilliant dashes by
Beacham and McKeever.
1t was due almost entirely to the mag
niflcent playing of Cornelps back field
that both of their touohdowns were made.
BY steady plupges into the line and an oc-
casional run around the ends McKeever,
Ritchie and Beacham got the ball owe; the
Red and Blue goal line twice, These
players seemed to be all over the field at
the same time, and the playing of Lee and
Taussigg on the ends was also brilliant.
They got down under kicks remarkably
fast and tackled like flends
On account of their light line their de-
fensive play did not shine out so bril-
liantly as did their interference, but there
were very few long gains around the ends
by the men in Pennsylvania back field.
Except when the Red and Blue eleven
were overtaken with that tired feeling
they played the game they are capable Of
That terrible battering ram like process
was worked occasionally during the entire
game, and Woodruff Minds Farrar, Uf-
fenheimer and Wharton all went into the
line head foremost, never failing TO gain
from one to ten yards This sort of play
was interspersed with an occasional re-
volving wedge, in which Uffenheimer was
almost always used, and by some good
end runs, in which Colbert Boyle Dick
son, Morice and Minds were the bright
particular stars.
There was very little fumbling by either
team, but some bad passing by the quarter
backs caused both teams TO suffer consid
erably The Red and Blue We're penalized
twice for offside play and once for hold
ing, while the Cornell boys were set back
five yards on three occasions for off side
When Referee Mills, of Yale, blew his
whistle for play it was estimated that there
were 1900 persons within the big field,
and the beautiful red and blue and red
and white colors everywhere in the huge
stands made the sight u grand one.
The teams lined up as follows:
