ord Breaking Hero-Bad Wealth
or Generally Other Foot Ball
Games.
The University of Pennsylvania foot
ball team defeated Cornell this after
noon on Franklin Field by the score
of to 0. 1t was by far the fastest
game that has been seen here this
season and shows Cornell to have q
remarkably strong team.
There was less enthusiasm mani
tested by the 10000 persons present
than on last Saturday, because during
the first half Cornell did all the play
ing, but in the second half Pennsyl-
vania used their guards back" for
! nation with terrible effect on the Cor
nell line. After nearly every scrim-
mage in which this formation was
used there would be a Cornell man
stretched on the grass. These tire
some Interruptions were the only
drawbacks to an otherwise brilliant
game. or course, there was consider
able fumbling, due primarily to the
slippery ball, and Weeks also made a
bad mess of two quarter back kicks.
but this was also partially due to the
muddy ball.
Princeton lad beaten Cornell 10 to
and Harvard scored "a against for
the Comedian red, and it was the
Quakers' ambition to top both of these
scores If possible, and thereby make
to-day's game a fitting finale for the
greatest foot ball season in the his
tory of the red and blue The indi-
vidual stars in the Cornell eleven were
decidedly Wilson, Windsor. Whiting
and Young, the back field. The two
former were sent against Pennsyl-
vania's line for good gains and also
around the ends, while the tackling of
Whiting and Young on the ends was
beautiful exhibition of fast foot ball.
In the second half the pace began
to tell on the Cornell lads, and they
were driven down the field by the
guards back at desperate pace.
For the first fifteen minutes of play
it looked as if the Comedian and white
representatives would surely scorce,
but after this, and notwithstanding the
ball was in Pennsylvania territory a
greater part of the time, their goal was
not menaced.
The Pennsylvania players lost one,
and possibly two, opportunities to
score when within Cornells 12-yard
line by fumbles. Aside from this their
fumbes were not disastrous.
For Pennsylvania the individual
playing of Hare, Goodman and Outland
was remarkable. They broke up the
Cornell interference and made good
gains nearly every time they were en-
trusted with the ball. Hare also tack
led in fine shape, getting out to the end
of the line and mailing his man before
their backs could reach the runners.
Pennsylvania touchdown was not
made until after 81 minutes of actual
play in the second half. For any team
to hold Pennsylvania guards back
formation in check for IS minutes is
great feat. and only demonstrates how
strong Cornells team really was to-
day.
Dinh TAh ~ 30
night elected captain OF the University
OF Pennsylvania football team to sue
coed John Fl. Minds, who played his
last game to-day. Samuel A. Boyle,
left end, whose term will also expire
next June, was first elected under the
supposition that he intended to take a
post graduate course, but he declined
the honor, stating that he would not
be in the college next season.
The Cornell team will not elect a
captain until after their return to
Ithaca.
