tBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE
Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-In a hercely played
contest. before a crowd OF enthusiastic spec
tators which rivalled in magnitude that at the
Harvard game. Pennsylvania to-day defeated
Cornell by the Of TO o. Both teams
played a rapid pace and the game one
continual round of excitement, for while no
sensational plays were made both sides were
in scoring distance Of each others goal sew
eral times, and each time, either on tumble
downs a tally could not be made. II was
not until the second half that Pennsylvania
succeeded In getting q man over the goal line.
That was all the Red and Blue was able 10 do.
and time was called at the end Of the game
with the ball on Corners fifty -three-yard line.
The day was damp and raw, and consequent
ly the crowd was rather slow In arriving, FOR
II not pleasant weather to sit out on the
open stands Of Franklin Field waiting for the
game to begin. The people came with rush
about 2 o'clock 1t was typical holiday throng
and over half OF the more than twenty thousand
present women. OF course Pennsylvanias
colors predominated. but the Ithacans had good
following. and the Cornell yell was frequently
heard. And it should have been so, for the
visitors played a beautiful game and much
credit Is due to them.
NOT LIKE THE HARVARD GAME
To those who witnessed the Harvard game
last Saturday. the game this afternoon was
a diversion. 1t was played on different tactics
Both teams used close formation plays, and
long runs around the ends, which greatly de-
light the crowd, were few and far between.
Then. too, the punting was Of a different style.
Pennsylvania tried passing the ball directly from
the centre man to the fulback. This worked
well, but the kicks rather too fast for the
ends. who experienced great trouble in getting
down the soft field In time to prevent gains.
Then they had to deal with Young Cornelrs
fullback. whose handling Of punts was the
feature Of the game. During the entire two
halves only one Of Mlnds's long and low punts
got away from him. On account OF the soft
condition of the field the ball was hard 10
handle, yet Young cleverly caught 1t no matter
how it came TO him. He gave wonderful ex-
hibiton of judging the punts ana couta a.waSs a.'N

ten and often fifteen and twenty yards Penii-
sylvana's back field played its usual steaoy
but not necessarily brilliant game; .,
Cornelps team came on the nelu III me physI-
cal condition. with the possible exception OF NC
Laughlin whose shoulder has been troubling

its long training and recent battle with Har-
ward II was not until the second half that the
Quakers really awoke 10 their work, ana
even then seemed unable TO keep up LOT an!
length of time the fast pace which has made
them famous this season. Both teams ended INC
game In rather exhausted condition
CORNELL BEST IN THE FIRST HALF.
