Wins from Cornell After Partisans
Lost Hope.

LOST nope.
Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-The University
of Pennsylvania football eleven today de-
feated the Cornell team II to IL. The
Ithacans kicked goal from placement
and scored a touchdown from which a
goal resulted in the first half, while
PENNSYLVANIA scored two touchdowns and
kicked two goals in the second half.
Never has a more intensely exciting
and uncertain game been witnessed on
Franklin Field. Until the final blast of
the referees whistle announced the ces-
sation of hostilities there was painful
uncertainty in the hearts of the Penn
sylvania supporters Cornell had thrice
carried the ball dangerously near Penn
sylvania's goal and once carried it over.
Another touchdown or an opportunity OF
a second goal from placement would prob
ably mean defeat for the local eleven
But as the time drew near for the close
of the contest Pennsylvania play be-
came more fierce while that of Cornell
grew correspondingly weaker and the
game ended with the ball in CornelFs pos
session on her 25-yard line.
Spectacular runs, sensational tackles
and terrific line plunges came with sucn
frequency that the spectators were kept
continually bobbing up and down in their
seats. Both teams played brilliantly
PENNSYLVANIA s offense was superior to
that of Cornell and her defense play in
the last ten minutes of the game has
never been excelled by a Pennsylvania
eleven.
When the two elevens trotted on for
the second half the score stood II to Q
in favor of Cornell and there were few
Pennsylvanians who dared hope for VIC
tory.
Gardiner of Pennsylvania kicked off to
Conn of Cornell on the latter's 13-yard
line and Coffin ran the ball back twenty
five yards before being thrown. Penn
sylvania was given the ball for holding
and after an exchange of punts the Penn
sylvania players began fierce onslaught
on the Cornell line. Torrey finally scored
a touchdown from which Gardiner kicked
a goal.
Then began what proved to be the SEN
sational period of the days play. After
carrying the ball to within twenty yards
of Cornell's goal Pennsylvania lost on
a quarter back kick and Brewster at
once sent the ball away from the Cornell
goal Bennett for Pennsylvania again
kicked over Brewster s head and 1t was
Cornelrs ball within ninety-eight yards
of her own goal. Brewster punted on the
first opportunity but the attempt was a
failure and Dale caught the ball for
Pennsylvania on Cornell 35-yard line
On a double pass Dale gained twenty
yards. The ball was within fifteen yards
of Cornell's goal and the excitement was
intense. Mitchell. Pennsylvania big
guard, was brought on in Pickarski S
place. On the first attempt he tore through
Cornelrs lines for five yards. Gardiner
made four, Mitchell four more and then
Bennett carried the ball over for touch
down, tying 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
and a moment later the ball dropped
safely in GARDENERS hands, Immediately
in front of the goal posts pandemonium
seemed to have broken loose. Gardiner
kicked the goal, scoring the point which
won the Rame The lineup:
