PENNSY' >; CORNELL' 10.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. Pcnnsyi-
vania, 81; Cornell, 10; and the agony is
over for the season.
The Pennsylvania foot ball eleven
wound up the season of '96 this evening
by playing pretty much the same kind of
a game as she has done all
alng; at one time brilliant, while
at other times it would have
put to shame n lot of school boys.
Cornell played really brilliant game
throughout. With the exception of Bass
ford at quarter. their playing 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 have been
b 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 the
Pennsylvania gridiron this season and
gained FIVE yards. The Ithaca lads line0
up, but no signs were given. Beacnam
walked up slowly towards the centre, os-
tensibly for the purpose of saying some
thing to the quarter back, but in reality
he grabbed the ball from the center and
dashed through Pennsylvania centre be-

back play, but they lost ground each time
by the experiment, the Red and Blue line
holding like a stone wall.
The interference Of the team was al
ways up to the standard, which partially
accounts for the brilliant dashes by
Beacham and McKeeyer II was due a.
most entirely to the magnificent playing
of Cornell's back field that both of their
touchdowns 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 to-day. These play
ers seemed to be all over the field at the
same time, and the playing of Lee and
Taussig on the ends was also brilliant.
They got down under kicks remarkably
fast and tackled like fiends.
There was also little fumbling by either
team but some bad passing by the
quarterbacks caused both teams to suffer
considerable The Red and Blue were
paralyzed twice for offside play, and once
for holding. while the Cornell boys were
set back five yards on two different oc-
casions for offside.
When Referee Mills, of Yale, blew his
whistle for the play, it was estimated that
there were 1900 persons within the big
field. The sight was n beautiful one.
The sun, which had been obseured by
heavy clouds until within a few lninniHe
before the play, now shone out with all its
briIliance, and much Of its warmth and
the beautiful Red and Blue and Red and
White colors everywhere made the sight
a grand one to look at.
