PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-Penu-
sylyania this afternoon defeated Cor
nell by big score, but the plucky boys
from Ithaca succeeded in twice cross
ing the Quakers' goal line. Pennsyl-
yania scored six touch downs for to-
tai of 30 and compelled Cornell to
make safety touch down, making the
total score: Pennsylvania 81, Cornell
10. Cornell furnished a surprise by the
first hard. plucky game she has played.
Cornelrs first touch down was due to
Beacham's mighty running. In two
runs the Cornell Captain carried the
ball around Pennsylvania ends for
total of nearly fifty yards, and landed
it behind the Quaker goal line. This
was in the first half, and in the second
half Cornell got the ball on Pennsyl-
vania's twenty-yard line, and carried
it directly up to and over the goal line
of the red and blue, where Ritchie
scored the touch down on plunge
through the center.
Beacham'S general all-round play ana
running with the. ball was as fine an
exhibition of half-back work as has
been seen here this year, and to his
great playing is mostly due the credit
of Cornelrs scoring. While the Cor
nells played fast, they were unluckily
overmatched, overweighted by their
heavier and stronger adversaries, and
could offer only stubborn but un-
availing resistance to Pennsylvania 5
advancing Pennsylvania style of
playing bears heavily upon the oppos-
ing team, and the Cornell players suf-
fered severely. Cornell frequently had
men hurt, and before the game was
over had replaced three players by sub
stitutes While Pennsylvania had
number of men hurt, none We're COM
PEELED to leave the field.
While Pennsylvania won rather easi-
ly to-day, as was expected, the Quak-
ers' play lacked the fierce dash and
energy which it showed in the second
half of the Harvard game. The guards
back interference was warke
against Cornells line, and Gilbert fre-
quently went around the Cornell ends
for great gains.
After close, foggy morning the
weather cleared, and by noon the sun
was shining brightly. The air was
soft, and the heat of the sun made
heavy wraps for the spectators too
weighty, and the players suffered con-
siderably in the warmth. A crowd Of
1900 people was present when the
two teams came upon the field. The
fnlIpyyarc of PpnnSN1Vanja lost fnn
in testing the capacity of their lungs,
but small and valiant crowd Of Ith-
acans answered the Quakers' cheers.
and during the afternoon this little
contingent of Comedians made their
presence known.
Captain Beacham won the toss, and
took the ball. Fennell kicked off for
Cornell to Pennsylvania twenty-yard
line. During the first ten minutes of
play both teams played kicking game,
and neither side had much advantage.
Captain Wharton for the first time in
his life, did the kicking at full back
for Pennsylvania, and got his kicks
off quickly and without having one
blocked throughout the afternoon. He
also rather outpunted Rftchie few
yards on each kick. The Cornell man
did very pretty work in catching punts,
and got his kicks off cleanly and quick
ly from close up behind the line.
Pennsylvania gradually worked the
ball up to Cornelfs five-yard-line, where
Uffenheimer broke through and blocked
a kick OF Ritchies. Ritchie fell upon the
bali behind his goal line for a safety
touch down.
Pennsylvania got the ball on the kick
of, and bucked Cornells line for forty
five yards to the ten-yard line. On
fake pass Gilbert went around the
right end for a touch down. The kick
out was a failure and no goal resulted.
In the first scrimmage after his kick

and was carried from the field Taylor

After several interchanges of kicks
Cornell got the ball in the center of the
field. Aided by fine interference. Beach
am went around Pennsylvania right
end for thirty yards. couple of
plunges into the line followed. and
Beacham went around the left end. and,
avoiding all the Pennsylvania tacklers,
scored a touch down after twenty
yard run. The ball was directly in
front OF the goal posts. but Ritchie
failed for the try at goal, the ball strik-
ing the cross bar and bounding back.
Pennsylvania woke up after this, and
gaining possession of the ball shortly
after the kick Off rushed ii to the center
of the field by hard line bucking to Cor
nelIs two-yard line. Minds then went
through the center for a touch down,
and Woodward kicked the goal.
After the kick off Pennsylvania
smashed through Cornelis line for sixty
yards. and Uffenheimer went through
center for a touch down, Woodward
again kicking goal. Score-Pennsyl-
vania II, Cornell s.
After ten minutes intermission game

to kick over Cornell, but Woodward
kicked the ball along the ground. and

it had rolled twenty yards, but Cor
nell man was ahead of him. After one
down Ritchie punted to the center of the
field. Morice could make no gain, and
on the second down the ball was passed
to him again. Morice made gorgeous
tumble, and Beacham snatched up the
ball and rushed to Pennsylvania's goal
