CORNELL GETS TWO ToucunowNs.
Ithaca Lads Cross the Pennsylvania
Goal Line Twice,


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-Pennsylvania
81; Cornell, 10.
And the agony is over for this season
The Pennsylvania foot ball eleven wound
up the season of 90 this afternoon by play
ing pretty much the same kind of a game
she has done all along; at times brilliant
at other times it would have put to shame
a lot Of school boys. Cornell played a
really brilliant game throughout. With
the exception of BassfOrd, their play was
almost perfect and had it not been for the
! fact the team was so much lighter than
the red and blue. there would not have
! been thrty-two points scored against them.
There were very few attempts at tricks by
! either team. The interference of the Cor
nell team was always up to the standard
| which partially accounts for the brilliant
dashes by Beacham and McKeever. 1t was
due almost entirely to the great playing of
| Cornells backficld that both of their touch
downs were made. By steady plunges into
the line and an occasional run around the
ends, McKeCver. Richie 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 Taussig on the ends was also
brilliant. They got down under kicks re-
markably fast, and tackled like flends. On
account of the light line their defensive
play did not shine out 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 battegng ram was worked occa-
sionally during the entire game and Wood
ruff, Minds, Farrar, UHenheimer and
Wharton all went into the line headfore-
most, never failing to gain from one to ten
yards. This sort of play was interspersed
with an occasional revolving wedge, in
which Ufenheimer was almost always used,
and by some good end runs in which Gel
bert, Boyle, Dickinson, Morrice and Minds
were the bright particular stars There
was very little fumbling by either team, but
some bad passing by the quarterbacks
caused both to suffer considerably. The
red and blue were penalized twice for OFF
side play and once for holding, while the
Cornell boys were set back five yards on
two different occasions for offside playing
STORY OF THE GAME
When Referee Mills of Yale blew his
whistle for play, it was estimated that
there were 1900 persons within the big
field The sight was a beautiful one. The
sun shone out with all its brilliance and
the beautiful red and blue and red and
white colors everywhere in the huge stands
made a grand one to look at it. The first
scoring occurred when Richie fell on a
blocked kick for a safety. Colbert scored
the first touchdown on a trick pass, but no
gaol was kicked. Score: Pennsylvania, 6;
Cornell, 0.
Cornell made some long gains, in which
Beacham was a particular star. He made
one run of twenty-five yards, and again
when the ball was on Pennsylvania
twenty -fve-yard line he skirted the red and
blues left end for touchdown. Goal
missed. Score: Pennsylvania, 6; Cornell, A..
Quick, hard rushing carried the ball rap
idly down the field. Minds scoring and 4
goal kicked. Score: Pennsylvania, II;
Cornell. 4.
Again the Philadelphians rapidly ad-
vanced, and when near Cornells line Uffen-
heimer scored touchdown by the revolving
wedge. Score: Pennsylvania Is; Cornell,
4. The first half ended with this score.
After the beginning of the second half
Cornell was the first to score. On tumble
kick Cornell got the ball on Pennsylvania
twenty-hveyard line, and Beacham adj
vanced it close to the line. Richie scoring
the touchdown and kicking goal Score
Pennsylvania, IS; Cornell, 10. Pennsylvania
scored rapidly after this, touch1owns
being made by Woodruff, Boyle and cffen-
hemer. Only one of the three goals was
kicked The play of Colbert in the last
