PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania football team ended
It's disastrous season to-day with a crush
ing defeat at the hands of the Cornell
eleven, the Ithaca boys scoring twenty-four
points to the Quakers' six. 1t was the first
time since the two universities have played
football together that Cornell has been
able to conquer Pennsylvania.
All through the contest the red and blue
players fought their opponents every inch
of the way, but the doughty boys from New
York State We're superior to them in every
department of the game, except in punting.
No matter how hard the Pennsylvanians
tried Cornell was always there to meet
them. Cornell's offense was powerful. 1t
seemed little difference where they tried
through the center, against the tackles or
around the ends-Pennsylvania was able
to hold them not more than a half dozen
times. The visitors also got into the play
better and quicker than tile home men,
which counted for much in the mass plays.
A notable feature of CorneI's attack was
the fine interference of the runner in open
plays. Two of her touchdowns were made
solely through the good help given the man
with the ball. On the defense Cornell was
like a wall. 1t was near the end of the first
half before Pennsylvania was able to make
a first down, and the total made in the
entire contest did not number more than
ten.
Coach Woodruf's latest football creation,
the "whirligig," had no terrors for Cornell,
and 1T was effectually stopped nearly every
time ii was tried. Cornell played her best
in the first half, in which period she made
twelve points to Pennsylvania six. In
the second half the QuakerS' game i'm
nrOVad while the visitors seemed RI lat
up a bit, but the latter managed to add
two more touchdowns to their score.
The day was clear and quite cold. A
from the west and made matters uncom-
Portable for the 10000 persons who saw the
game. 1t was the usual Thanksgiving day
football crowd, enthusiastic to a degree.
