PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 2i.-On a field
knee deep with mud, the University OF
Pennsylvania football team this after
noon defeated the Cornell eleven by the
score OF Y TO 6.
1t is doubtful II ever a game has
been played under more unfavorabie con-
ditions. both as 10 the field and the
weather.
The wind which had been blowing
strong from the northeast nearly ali
day suddenly shifted to the west few
minutes before play started and instead
OF the Persistent drizzling rain. a snow
storm Of almost blizzard proportions set
in and continued without let-up until
the game had been concluded.
YOUNG IN THE GAME.
When the Cornell team trotted on the
field at 2:0i IT was seen that Charlie
Young, who played such a brilliant game
with the Carnelian and White last year,
was I'm his football tOgs and was down
on the card as one Of the half-backs for
the Ithica boys. This was big surprise
TO the Red and Blue followers and also
10 the players as no intimatlon had been
given that this star player would partici-
pate I'm tho proceedings. and It may be
added that while Mr. Charles Young con-
tinued in the game he was a tower of
strength TO Cornell He broke up the
interference and tackled like a fiend.
From a spectacular point Of view the
game was a weary one 10 watch the
wretched condition OF the field made IL
almost an imposslhility to execute long
runs and Coach Woodruns famous
guard back formation was rendered al
most useless simply because the men could
not get enough solid foot-hold 10 get UNI
der way and would fall with their own
4 n o
possible to prevent fumbllng and do ac-
curate kicking. Cornell's only touchdown
was due to bad kicking. made possible by
the slippery ball and the same can be
said of Pennsylvania second touch
down.
THE FIRST SCORE
Hare's two dismal attempts at kicking
the ball out of danger when it was
within a few feet Of the Red and Blues
goal line in the first half. caused the
first score, and G.. Young's kick, which
went almost parallel with the yard lines
right into Hedges hands. was responsible
for Pennsylvania second touchdown.
Hedges had a clear field.a and the touchdown
was easy. Both teams relied almost wholly
on straight football. Cornell tried
funny quarterback trick, but lostfa yard.
and again tried a run around Pennsyl-
vanias left end by giving the ball 10 her
own left end. thus trying 10 draw Penn
sylvania's left end, but the trick did not
work
Pennsylvania worked the delayed pass
successfully on two or three occasions.
and once tried the quarterback kick, but
lost FIVE yards on the latter attempt.
Both teams seemed over-anXiOus 10 get
into the plays. and were penalzed several
times for their oyer-anxiety.
For Cornell Swaziland StarbUck
Luender and G. Young did the best work.
The former, in particular, putting up
remarkable game. Outland, COombs and
Hare were the best ground gamers for
the Quakers, but the two former, togeth-
or with Carnett and Gardiner. We're guilty
Of some wretched fumbling.
MANY CRANKS.
The rough weather had no apparent
effect on the attendance az the game. As
early as l o'clock the enthusiastic foot
ball cranks began To arrive. and by ,
o'clock there were about 10000 people in
the huge amphltheatre. Neither lid the
severe storm dampen their ardor. for
there was an incessant yelling kept up
from the time the ball was kicked Off
al 200 until time was called for the end
Of the game.
