Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 24.-Strug-
Cling to accomplish that in which ev-
cry other team failed this season. the
Cornell eleven in a vain effort to cross
the University of Pennsylvania goal
line, we're this afternoon humiliated
at Franklin Field. The overwhelm-
ing defeat of the season was theirs.
The score was "a to 0. The over
whelming defeat of Cornell today
marks the most successful season for

SON
1t was thought that the red and
white would at least score. but in no
way were the Ithacans worthy oppon-
ents for the local eleven. Pennsyl-
vania played all around the visitors,
rolling up "a points in the first half,
and making 10 more in the second
half with more than half of the second
team playing in the places of the reg
ulars. Cornells showing was a grave
disappointment and only once did they
endanger the Pennsylvania goal. This
occurred in the second half, when they
managed to force the ball down the
field to the 2O-yard line. Instead or
continuing straight line plunging in
which they were meeting with great
success, Halliday tried for field goal.
But the ball flew wide of the posts.
and took away the only chance the Wis
itors had for a score
Pennsylvania's play was revelation
and their fast charging made the
much talked of snappy play of Cor
nell look painfully slow. Times repeat
edly the red and blue team were pen
allied for off side play. attacking
their opponents long before the ball
was put in play. Cornell was repeated
ly held for downs. while Cornell were
only successful in obtaining the ball
in this manner on three occasions,
and all of these occurred after the
second half of the game was almost
over.

Of Stevenson and the line plunging of
PiekarsM were the brilliant features
of the game. Many of Reynolds
punts exceeded so yards, while the
