CoRNELL's PLAY Is RAGGED
So the Score is S2 to 10 Agaist the
Ithacans.

| Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-Pennsylvania
80; Cornell 10, and the agony is over for
| this season. The Pennsylvania football
eleven wound up the season of 's6 this
afteroon by playing pretty much the
| same kind of game as she has done all
| along: at times brilliant, at other times
it would have put to shame lot OF
schoolboys. Cornell played really bril-
liant game throughout. With the excep-
ton of Bassford, their play was almost
perfect, and had it not been for the fact
that the team was so much lighter than
the red-an-b 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 stand
ard, which partially accounts for the
brilliant dashes by Beacham and Nc
Keeyer. II was due almost entirely to
the great 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
twice. These players seemed to be all
over the field at the same time and the
playing of Lee and Taussing on the ends
was also brilliant They got down under
kicks remarkably fast, and tackled like
fends. On account of the light line their
defensive play did not shine out so bril-
lantly as did their interference, but
there were very few long gains around
the ends by the men in Pennsylvania s
back field. Except when the red-and-
blue eleven We're overtaken with that
tired feeling, they played the game they
are capable of. That terrible battering-
ram was worked occasionally during the
entire game and Woodruff. Minds, Far
rar, Uffenheimer and Wharton all went
into the line head-foremost, never fail
ing to gain from one to ten yards. This
sort of play was interspersed With an
occasional revolving wedge, in which
Uffenheimer was almost always used,
and by some good end runs in which
Colbert, Boyle, Dickinson. Morice and
Winds were the bright particular stars.
There was very little fumbling by either
team. but some had passing by the quar-
terbacks caused both to suffer consider
ably. The red-and-blue were penalized
twice for off side play and once for hold
ing while the Cornell boys were set back
five yards on two different occasions for
off-side plays.
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.
About nfteen minutes ber0re the time
scheduled for the beginning of play, the
lowering clouds lifted, the sun burst out
and the Transformation brought about
almost ideal football weather. The tenn
perature was about 65 degrees.
