 Philadelphia, Nov. 24-The Univer- sity of Pennsylvania football eleven to- day closed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the institution by defeating the Cornell eleven by the score of s4 to Q. Pennsylvania scored four touchdowns in the first half and two in the. second. Had it not been for penalties inflicted on the red and blue Cornell would never have been within striking distance of the Pennsylvania goal The Ithaca boys were powerless on the offense until near the close of the game, when Pennsylvania had in an almost new team, and on the defense they were equally weak. Not a first down was earned by the visitors in the opening half, and only once during this period did Cornell hold for downs. Pennsylvania was penalized thirty-five yards in the first half and was set back forty yards in the closing period of the game.
 Tumble after tumble occurred in the Cornell backfield, and on nearly every offense she would lose the ball. The I e, ,f,, to the miserable passing of Wilder. Time and again the ball was either dribbled along the ground to the kicker or else passed over his head. One pass went from midfleld to Cornells eight een-yard line and resulted moment later in a touchdown for the Pennsyi- vania team.
 A feature of the game was the fierce tackling of the Pennsylvania boys. On lnearly every scrimmage when the Cor nell team had the ball there would be one of the visitors laid out. Stevenson, I Pennsylvania's quarterback, was fnal- ly sent to the side lines by Umpire Ed- wards because of rough playing. Cor nells playing was a disappointment to I the spectators, but, notwithstanding that the eleven was pushed from one end of the field to the other repeatedly, l the little band of rooters made the field 4 ring with cheers.
 Pennsylvania,s defense. before the backfield was weakened by the substi- tuition of Folwell for Smith and Sheble for Greene, was remarkable. If Cor Inell runner got his body through the Pennsylvania line either Smith or Greene was there to double him back. I. Stevenson, ziegler and Piekarski were particularly strong on the defense The former got away for several good quar- ter-back runs and the two latter ripped the Cornell line into shreds when called .I5upon to advance the ball.
 .l It was perfect day for football for the spectator, but uncomfortably warm I for the player.
 There were nearly 25,OO0 persons within the big enclosure when the Cor Inell eleven trotted on the field at 2:06. They were given a rousing cheer. Penn- lssylyaIlia came on four minutes later After running through signals for few minutes the coin was tossed and Acting Captain Halliday called the turn. He chose the west goal, with light wind lat his back, and gave Pennsylvania the 3l ball. l Reynolds kicked off at 2:16, the ball going to Rice on Cornell's goal line. Rice ran the sphere back fifteen yards. land, with two penalties added. the ball was on Cornell's twenty -five-yard line. ! Gibson and Halliday each made two yards, and, with one yard to go, Cor fnell was thrown back on the third att tempt because of rough playing and lost the ball. Seven rushes were sufficient for Pennsylvania to score her first touchdown, ziegler Piekarski and
