True, he put up his usual hard, aggres-
sive game, but he failed to shine as bril-
liantly as heretofore. 1t was his last
game as a Pennsylvania player and it
was expected he would put up the
greatest football of his brilliant career
McCracken, who has shone as a star
guard and fullback for the past four
years and who lined-up for the last
| time to-day on the Quaker team, also
had to leave the field because of iniur-
les. The spectators in the four crowd
ed stand rose and cheered him as he
was dragged from the gridiron. With
one or two other exceptions the players
of the two teams came out of the game
not much the worse for wear
| The contest during most of the time
was rather slow and lacked spirit Here
and there one side or the other would
make dashing play only to fall back
into langor. OF the few brilliant plays
that marked the game, Potter's run of
tlfty-five yards for a touchdown out
| shone ali the others. The fleet 'hafhaclx
was given the ball exactly in the GEN.

through the Ithaca line Potter almost

he kept his feet and made wild dash

recovered from the surprise four men
started a chase after the little man
with the ball.
Just as Potter reached the five-yard
mark one of CornelPs big linemen
tackled him at the waist but Potter

for what proved to be Pennsylvania

over in almost a flash.
Next to Potter's run was Morrison's

had lined up for a kick but it proved
to be fake move, and the Quaker
men We're completely taken in by the
manoeuvre. This dash of Morrison's

| Cornell spectators and for the next five
minutes the carnellian and white
pushed the red and blue down the field
on short but steady gains, for dis

goal from the thirty-yard line
Aside from these there was little
brilliant individual playing. Purcell and
Morrison played strong and consistent
football in face of adversely. The
other men on the Cornell eleven did not
get much chance as the Ithacans sell
| dom had the leather long enough to
give the line an opportunity. For the
Quakers, Hare and McCracken did the
best work until they We're hurt Teas
and Wallace We're not far behind them,
while the performances Of the two Gar
diners and the halfbacks were worthy
of mention. In the kicking line, J. Gar
diner had little the better of it, after
Starbuck left the field and neither side
had anything on the other when it
came to fumbling. The Quaker team
had a tendency to charge before the
ball was passed and it was frequently
penalized for this offense.
Pennsylvania first touchdown was
made on pure line bucking and plung-
ing. They secured the ball in midfeld
and forced it down to Cornell's fifteen
YdTu line, WlleIe 1t Was lOSl Ull IL Lull-

session of it on the Cornell fifty-yard
line, and this time without losing the
leather, carried it by the aid of the
guards back, to and over the Ithaca
goal line.
The score was raised to ten points by
the Quakers on a field goal by Hare.
Pennsylvania after carrying the leather
to Cornelps five-yard line was penal
lied ten yards for off-sde play and
Captain Hare thought the easiest way
to make score was to kick a goal
from the field, which he did from the
twenty-yard line
Captain Hare tried another field goal
after the ball had been pushed almost
the length of the field to twenty-five
wards in front of the Cornell goal posts
but the kick was low and the half end
ed with the score unchanged at 10 to O.
A few minutes after the second half
began Pennsylvania secured the ball on
her own fifteen yard line on downs,
and without loss carried 1t ninety
five yards for the third touchdown At

try for field goal from Pennsylvania

set their guards back machine to work
and slowly pushed Cornell back yard
