of the University of Pennsylvania barely
escaped defeat at the hands of the univer-
sity of Chicago today in a game that for
desperate playing has seldom been equalled
in the west. The final score tie, both
| sides scoring a touch down in the second
half, and neither kicking a goal, leaving
| the total score 5 to 5.
Better football, so far as clean, snappy
| playing is concerned has been seen in two
| or three games here this season, but for
| sheer gameness, for rallies when to yield the
| least bit would result in touch down ana
| for situations tending to produce heart dis
| ease, the game was certainly remarkable.
| Five times Chicago had opportunities to
| score twice by place kicks with the ball IN
| a favorable position and three times getting
| the pigskin inside of Pennsylvania hVe
| yard line, but only once were the Maroons
able to get the ball over the goal line, ana
that when defeat seemed almost a certain
| ty. Chicago's all around play was superior
to that of the Quakers. The latter were ut
| terly unable to get around the Maroons at
| any time.
In the second half the awful hammerlng
told severely on the Chicago forwards, ana
| during the series of plays which resulted III

Notwithstanding the fact that ram hau

couragement so far as cheering was con-

Ithaca, N. Y, October 2S.-In one of the
finest football battles that Cornell has ever
waged against an opposing eleven, she
wrested victory from Princeton today on
Percy field by score of to 0. Throughout
the two twenty minute halves which were
repeatedly interrupted by various players
succumbing to the strain of the fierce work,
the teams struggled with the odds slightly
in favor of Cornell. Princeton was outplay-
ed both in defensive and offensive work,
and as the game progressed Cornell SEEM
ed to let out a great reserve force which
was productive of telling work.
The great feature of the game was
Young's goal from the field, which won the
contest for Cornell. 1t was made in the
last few minutes play, just at the time
when 1t looked as If the game would be
tie The attendance was 5000.
