time their goal was not reached.
The Pennsylvania players lost one and
POSSIBLY two opportunities or scoring
when within Cornell's twelve-yard line

Aside from this their fumbles were
not disastrous. For Pennsylvania the
individual playing Of Hare, Goodman
and Outland was remarkable. They
broke up the Cornell interference ana
made good gains nearly every time they
were entrusted with the ball.
Hare also tackled in fine shape, get

Pennsylvania touchdown was not
made until after twelve minutes OF
