PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2e.-Pennsyl-
vania, 32 Cornell, 10-and the agony is over
for this season.
The Pennsylvania football eleven wound
up the season of go this afternoon by play
ing pretty much the same kind of a game
as she has done all along; at times brilliant.
while at other times it would have put to
shame a lot of schooboys The Cornells
played a really brilliant game throughout
With the exception of Bassford at quarter
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
The interference of the team was always
up to the standard. which partially ac-
counted for the brilliant dashes by Beach,
am and McKeever 1t was due almost en-
tirely to the magnificent playing of Cor
nells back field that both of their touch
downs were made. BY steady plunges into
the line and an occasional run around the
ends. McKeever, Ritchie and Beacham got
the ball over 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 Taussng on the ends was also
brilliant They got down under kicks re-
markably fast and tackled like fiends On
account of the light line their defensive
play did not shine out so brilliantly 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- like process was
worked occasionally during the entire game
and Woodruff Minds Farrar. Uffenheimer
and Wharton all went into the line head
foremost, never failing to gain from one to
ten yards. This sort of play was inter-
Spersed with an occasional revolving
wedge. in which Uffenheimer was almost
always used, and by some good end runs in
which Gilbert. Boyle. Dickson. Morice and
Minds were the bright particular stars.
There was very little fumbling by either
team, but some bad passing by the quarter
ora o.eks KS, caused n9th teams to suffer consid,
twice for oft-side play and once for holding.

sun, which had been obscured by heavy
clouds until within few minutes before
play, now shone out with all its brilliance
and much of its warmth and the beautiful

sight grand one to look at.
The frSt scoring occurred when Ritchie
fell on blocked kick for a safety. Gil,

pass, but no goal was kicked. Score: Penn

long gains, in which Beacham was q par
tcular star. He made one run of twenty
five yards, and again when the ball was

skirted the red and blues left end for :.

half was a great feature. The teams lined
