Gardner made four, Mitchell four more
and the Bennett carried the ball over
for a touchdown, tieing the score. The
touchdown was made far to the left OF
the goal posts and Dale was chosen
to punt out to Gardiner for a free
catch There was almost a deathlike
stiffness when this scene was being
enacted, but a moment when the ball
dropped safely in Gardeners hands i'm
mediateIy in front of the goal posts,
pandemonium seemed to have broken
loose. Just as the crowd had begun to
settle down Gardiner kicked the goal,
scoring the point which eventually won
the game. AS the ball went between
the posts hats. canes. flags. and almost
every object within the enclosure,
which was not fastened down flew
through the air Unfortunately. 1t
was a glorious moment. There were
only five minutes of play remaining
and Cornell worked desperately to
snatch victory from defeat, but Penn
sylvania's defense at this time was i'm
penetrable and game which the Itha-
cans had confidently expected 70 win
was recorded against them.
1t was Captain Warmers last game in
his college career and he will never
have cause to regret the part he took
in the contest. His line bucking,
breaking through, and tackling in the
open have certainly never been excelled
on Franklin Field, while his run of so
yards, from the kickoff through the
Pennsylvania eleven was remarkable.
The game was free from unnecessary
roughness, but that 1t was unusually
fierce is shown by the number of sub
stitutes. Three times Cornell had the
ball within striking distance of Penn
sylvania's goal in the first half. Twice
the Quaker line held, and once the ball
was taken from the Ithacans for inter-
ference.
OF the Pennsylvanians, the work Of
Dale and Baird was the most brilliant.
Three times the former got around the
Cornell ends for gains of Is. 20 and p
yards, while Baird seldom failed to
gain when given the ball. There was
scarcely any fumbling, a remarkable
fact when the muddy, slippery condi-
ton of the ball is taken nto considera-
ton.
There was not vacant seat at 2
o'clock, the hour scheduled for play to
begin, and long lines Of persons were
waiting at the two entrances. About
$4,000 persons witnessed the game. 1t
was 2:O2 when the Pennsylvania team
came on the field, followed a moment
later by Cornell. After a brief signal
practice, the captains were called to-
gether and the coin tossed. Captain
Gardiner won the toss and chose the
west goal with the wind at his back.
A moment later Coffin kicked off and
the game was on.
Play had progressed but few min
utes when Brewster for Cornell heeled
of Benefits punts on Pennsylvania
80 yard line. He held the ball while
Coffin dropped goal from placement.
Toward the close of the first half Cor
nell got the bali on her SO yard line
and by brilliant runs by Tydeman,
Purcell and Warner scored a touch
down. Coffin kicked the goal which
closed Cornell's scoring. The teams
