McCRACKEN CHEERED.
Nearly all of the spectators in the four
crowded stands 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 either team would make a
dashing play only to fall back into the
languid style of advancing the ball or
guarding the goals. OF the few brilliant
plays Petter's run of ffty-five yards for
, a touchdown outshone all others. The
fleet halfback was given the ball exactly
in the center of the field for a plunge
through the middle of Cornell's line.
Pennsylvania big forwards opened a
hole big enough for the proverbial horse
and cart to drive through the Itahacan
line. Potter almost fell as he was
pushed into the hole, but he kept his
feet and made a wide dash for CornenS
goal. After the Cornell men had recov-
cred from their surprise four of them
started a chase after the little man with
the ball. Just as Potter reached the
five-yard mark one of COrnelPs big line
men grasped him around the waist, but
Potter managed to stumble over the
goal line. Next to Potters run was
Morrison's sprint of thirty yards around
Pennsylvania left end. The Cornell
men had lined up for a kick but it
proved to be a fake move and the
Quaker men We're completely taken IN
by the maneuver. This dash of Nor
risons aroused much enthusiasm among
the Cornell spectators and for the next
five minutes the carnelian and white
pushed the red and blue down the field
for short but steady gains for distance
of forty yards when the New York state
team lost the ball on an attempt to kick
a field goal from the thirty-yard line.
Outside of the above mentioned in
stances. there was little brilliant indt-
vidual playing. Purcell and Morrison
played strong, consistent football in the
face of adversely.
CORNELL HAD LITTLE CHANCE.
The other men on the Cornell eleven
did not get much chance, as the Itha-
cans seldom had the leather long enough
to give others than the backs a chance to
advance the pigskin. For the Quakers,
Hare and McCracken did the best work
until they were hurt. Teas and Wallace
were not far behind them, while the per-
formances of the two GARDENERS and the
halfbacks were worthy Of mention. In
the kicking line, ]. Gardiner had little
the better of it after Starbuck quit the
game, and neither side had anything on
the other when it came to fumbling.
There was very little 'butter-finger"
play, and what there was was not cost
Iy. The Quaker team had a tendency to
charge before the ball was passed, and it
was frequently penalized for this omenSe.
Pennsylvania first touchdown was
made on pure line bucking and plunging.
