the game had been concluded.
when the Cornell team trotteo on inc
field at 2:ol 1t was seen that Cnarl!e
Young, who played such pfllllant
game with the Carnellan ana Whlte
last year. was IN his football logs, ana
was down on the card as one OF the
halfbacks for the Ithaca boys. rms
was a big surprise TO the req ana plue
followers and also to the players as
no intimation had been given that TINS
star player would participate In the
proceedings. And it may be added
that while Mr.. C. Young continued IN
the game he was tower OF strength
TO Cornell. He broke up the interfer-
ence and tackled like fiend.
From spectacular point OF view the
game was weary one to look at. The
wrctchcd condition Of the field made
1t almost an impossibility to execute
any long runs and Coach Woodruff's
famous guards back formation was
rendered almost useless. simply be-
cause the men could not get enough
solid foothold to get under way and
would fall with their own efforts. Then,
too, it was absolutely impossible to
prevent fumb!inS and do accurate Kick
ing. Cornell's only touchdown was due
to bad kicking, made possible by the
slippery ball, and the same can be said
of Pennsylvania second touchdown.
The first half closed with the score
6 to 0 in favor of Cornell. During the
last Is minutes OF the first half the
ball had been kept in Pennsylvana's
territory, because of Ha1e's failure to
punt more than Is or 20 yards. c.
Young. who did the punting for the
visitors, gained from 10 to 20 yards in
this half on each exchange of punts.
Then, too, the Pennsylvania backs
would tumble nearly of1e-half OF
Youngs kicks, while the Cornell play

In the second half things were diff
fcrent. When the Pennsylvania play
ers went into their dressing room they
exchanged the wet heavy suits they
had been wearing for new, dry ones,
and when they reappaared on the grid
iron with their dry clothes and the
wind in their favor everybody expected
that they would redeem themselves for
the wrctched play in the first half.
This they did in measure. carrying
the ball down the field by steady
plunges varied with an occasional end
run to Cornell's 25 yard line, from
where Outland carried it over for a
