PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.-On a
field knee deep with mud. the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football team this
afternoon defeated Cornell eleven by
the score of II to g.
It is doubtful if ever a game has
been played under more unfavorable
conditions both as to the field and the
weather. The wind, which had been
blowing strong from the northeast
nearly all day, suddenly shifted to the
west a few minutes before play start
ed. and, instead of the persistent,
drizzling rain, a snowstorm of almost
blizzard proportions set in and con-
tinued with a let up until the game
had been concluded.
When the Cornell team trotted on the
field at 2:04 O'Clock it was seen that
Charlie Young, who played such a bril-
liant game with the carnelian ana
white last year, was in his football togs.
and was down on the card as one OF the
half backs for the Ithica boys.
From a spectacular view the game
,as weary to look at. The Wretched
condition of the field made 1t almost
IMPOSSIBLE to execute long runs, and
Coach Woodruff's famous guard back
forms. ton was rendered almost useless,
imply because the men could not get
enough solid foothold to get under way.
Then. too. it was absolutely impossible
to prevent fumbling and to do accurate
kicking Hares two dismal attempts
at kicking the ball out Of danger when
it was within few feet of the red and
blues goal line, in the first half, caused
the first score, and c. Young's kick,
which went almost parallel with the
yard lines, right into Hedges hands,
was responsible for Pennsylvania's sec
ond touchdown Hedges had clear
field and the touchdown was easy.
The first half closed with the score
6 to O in favor of Cornell. During the
last few minutes Of the first half the
ball had been kept in Pennsylvania's
territory, because of Hare's failure
punt more than fifteen or twenty yards.
C. Young. who did the punting forsthe
visitors. gained from twelve to fifteen
yards in this half.
In the second half things were differ
ent. When the Pennsylvania players
went into their dressing-room they ex-
changed the wet, heavy suits they had
been wearing for new, dry ones, and
when they reappeared on the gridiron
with their dry clothes and the wind in
their favor everybody expected they
would redeem themselves. This they
did in a measure, carrying the ball
down the field by steady plunges, va
ried with an occasional end run to Cor
nells twenty-five yard line, from where
Outland carried it over for a touch
down in a delayed pass.
The play during the second half was
entirely in Cornelps half the latter be-
ing forced to play on the defensive
nearly the entire half. Both teams re-
lied almost on straight football.
At 3:23 Cross kicked off to Pennsyl-
vania's forty-three yard line. Pennsyl-
vania worked the ball down to Cornell's
fifteen-yard line, but Cornell kicked out
of danger. Again it was forced back
by punts and rushes till Outland was
rushed over for a dozen and goal
was kicked. Score, 6-6.
Hedges scored second touchdown
for Pennsylvania and Outland kicked
the goal. Score-Pennsylvania II, Cor
nell 6.
For Cornell Sweetland, Starbuck.
Lueder and c. Young did the best work.
The former, in particular, put up a re-
markable game. Outland, Coombs and
Hare We're the best ground gamers for
the Quakers.
The rough weather had no apparent
effect on the attendance at the game,
and by O'Clock there were over 90
600 people in the huge ampitheater.
Neither did the severe storm dampen
their ardor, for there was an incessant
yell kept up from the time the ball
was kicked off at 200 until time was
called for the end of the game.
The teams lined up as follows:
Pennsylvania.-Mc left end:

MICHIGANS WON.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24-The Western
football championship goes to Michi-
gan. On a field that was simply per-
feet for fast football, and before a
crowd of fully 1900 people, the Ma
rooms of Chicago went down before the
maize and blue of Michigan to-day by
a score of IL to IL Michigans score
represents two touchdowns, goals be-
ing kicked in each instance. Chicago
made one touchdown, a goal and a goal
from placement.
The reversal of form shown by the
Michigan men since they barely sue
ceeded in defeating Northwestern was
something remarkable The Michigan
line, in which big holes were torn by
the light Western team, was simply
