which surprises. spectacular runs. fast
playing. and brilliant taekling were the
dominant features. Cornell defeated Will
liam5 today by the score OF 81 to S. At
the outset it looked as II the visitors
were to give Cornell hard rub. and
after holding the Ithacans for three
downs with the ball on the one-yard
line, Campbell made a bad pass to Wat
son. who did the kicking for Williams.
and Cornell scored a safety.
Five minutes later the Ithacans earn

hammering the tackles. Williams was
extremely fortunate in securing their
one touchdown. With the ball near mid

Peabody had sprung upon HIM and, Sc

and Vose kicked goal In less than two
minutes thereafter big Captain Warner

There was slight improvement in Har-

after the next kickoff Brown soon got
the ball and punted to Yale's forty Ave

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 11.-On a field
that was an inch under water and in a
downpour of rain, Pennsylvania today
defeated Swarthmore by the score of II
to 6. At the end of the first half the
score was to 6. Swarthmore scored
first by carrying the ball sixty-fye yards

reference was smashed up before he had
a chance to get started. he could not gain
ground. Peatly made several small
gains through Georgetown's center, but
they worked little harm.
The game was begun shortly after
o'clock. Georgetown kicked off to St.
Johns. The locals tore up the field the
instant the kickers foot touched the
leather, and in few seconds the St.
Johns man who was unfortunate enough
to catch the oval, was hurled to the
ground. A scrimmage followed, and the
visitors were showed back several feet
from their starting point.
They realized they were up against
tough proposition, but decided to make
the best of it. They failed to make the
proper advance in the three downs, and
the ball went to Georgetown within sew

Johns lads were guarding. Georgetown
advanced the ball but lost 1t by being

Varsity Football Players,
Through Their Weight,
Roll Up Eighteen Points
in the Two Halves.

In a drizzling rain on Georgetown
eridiron, ankle deep in mud, the varsity
eleven yesterday won easily from st.
Johns College. They played almost
without an effort at times. Three touch
downs, a goal and safety netted the
blue and gray eighteen points. The vis-
iting collegians failed to score.
More than 100 rooters went out to see
The game. They stood shivering on the
side lines. but their spirits were not too
dampened for them to cheer.
Eager to Play.
1t was thought yesterday morning that
the game would have to be postponed,
but the Marylanders arrived in town be-
fore word could be sent them. and 1t
was decided to play. At O'Clock the
rain was falling just as hard as it had
been in the morning. but this did not
deter the players, who were eager for
the fray. Clad in new suits. they looked
clean. After the first half they resembled
cave dwellers. They were not only COW
cred with mud from shoes to skull caps,
but their faces and hair were well
coated.
The local lads completely outclassed
their opponents. Had the field been dry
and firm the score might have been
larger. The tremendous weight of
Georgetown's line told when the visitors
endeavored to check the advance. The
aggregate weight of the seven men on
l,,a Sc
1.4oO pounds.
Had an Easy Time
The Georgetown backs had compara
lively an easy time getting around the.
ends and through the tackles. Coach
Suter tried out number of substitutes
during the game. Thompson took Rus
sells place at left tackle In the second
half MacKay was put in at center in
Giyens' place. Buckley retired near the
end, and Preston Edmonston gave the
signals. Reilley dropped out of the game
after scoring the last touchdown. Hay
den took his place at left half. Morgan
retired during the second half. Morris
was sent in to play fullback.
The st. Johns lads played a plucky
game considering the great handicap of
weight and strength. There are several
good players among them, and when they
encounter men of their own weight and
strength the score will be somewhat diff
ferent from yesterdays.
Smith, who played left end for the Wis
iting team, put up wonderful play. He
made the best tackles of the afternoon.
Time and again the Georgetown lads
would mass together, and skirt around
