PENNSYLVANIA, 4; CORNELL, o.
Philadelphia. Nov. 25.-The University
If Pennsylvania football team defeated
Cornell this afternoon on Franklin field
by the score of four TO nothing. 1t was
by far the fastest game that has been
played here this season and shows Cor
pell to have remarkably strong team.
There was less enthusiasm manifested
by the 10000 persons present than on
last Saturday. because in the first half
Cornell did all the playing, but in the
second half Pennsylvania used their
guards back formation with terrible eff
feet on the Cornell line After nearly
every scrimnage in which this forma-
ton was used there would be a Cornell
man stretched on the grass These tire
some interruptions We're the only draw
backs 10 an otherwise brilliant game.
OF course there was considerable fumb-
ling. due primarily to the slippery ball.
and eWeks also made bad mess Of two
quarter-b back kicks. bat this latter was
also partially due 70 the muddy bah
Princeton had beaten Cornell 10 70 0.
and Harvard scored "a to for the car
nelian and white and il was the Qua
kers' ambition to top footh OF these
scores II possible. and thereby make to-
days game g fitting finale for the great-
est tooroan season in the history Of the
red and blue. 1t was also Captain
Kinds ambition 10 make a good big
SCORE against the Ithaca lads. as this
would make his captaincy shine out
with even more brilliancy than ever.
But IN both calculations hope was
dashed 10 the earth, mainly through the
brilliant playing of the entire Cornell
team In the first half Pennsylvania
tried the guards back. but this fo-rna-
ton was just as easily stopped as was
attempted end-skirting. and m, matter
where the Quakers tried TO get through
there always seemei TO be a Cornell
man lying IN wait to tackle Their line
!n this half held like a stone wall and
the ends We're down the field ,r-,aor
