PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27-Pennsylvania,
G2; Cornell, TO- The Pennsylvania foot
ball eleven wound up the season of '80
yesterday afternoon by playing pretty
much the same kind OF game as she has
done all ssason-at times brilliant, while
at other times 1t would have put to shame
lot of school boys Cornell played a
really brilliant gaine throughout. With
the exception Of Bassford, atqunrter, their
play was almost perfect, and had it not
been for tho fact that the team was so
much lighter than tho 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 a trick,
the first time that it has been seen on
Penn's gridlron this season, and gained
five yards Tho 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 tho
ball from the center and dashed through
Penn's center before tho Rod and Blue
players realized what was transpiring.
The Carnellan and White also tried
Princetop's famous turtle back play but
b LEY lost ground each time by the expert
ment, the Red and Blue line holding like
stone wall The interference of Cornell
was always up to the standard, whichpar-
tially accounts for the brilliant dashes by
Beacham and Mckeever.
1t was duo almost entirely to the mag
niGcent playing Of Cornelrs back field
that both of their touchdowns were made.
BY steady plunges into the line and an oc-
Cnsional run around the ends Mckeever,
Rtchio and Beacham got the ball ovc.' 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 ard tackled like nends
On account Of their light line their dc.
fensive play did not shine out so bril-
lihntly as did their Interference but there
were very few long gains around the ends
by the men in Pennsylvanla's IS back field.
Except when the Red and Blue eleven
were ovcrtnken 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-
fpnheimer and Wharton all went into the
aiae head foremost, never failing to gain
fyom one to ten yards This sort of play
was intcrspersod with an occasional re-
xolving wedge, in which Uffenhcimer 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-
srably. The Red and Blue were ponuliHcd
twice for otfside play and once for hold
Ing, while tho Cornell boys were set back
fye 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
aud white colors everywhere in tho huge
stsnds made the sight u grand one.
