CORNELL BEATEN
 BY THE QUAKERS Game Won bv Narrow Margin
 of 6 to 5. CORNELL IN FINE FORM Not Until Team Had Been Weakened By Putting In Substitutes Was Pennsylvania Able to Cross
 the Goal Line.

Philadelphia. November s0-Pennsyl- vania today defeated Cornell in their an nual football game by the score of to 5, the narrow margin of goal deciding the contest It was the most stubbornly con- tested game that has been seen on Frank lin field this season. It was only after Cornell had been weakened by the sub stitution of players that the Pennsyl- vanians were able to cross the 1thican's s goal line. For one hour the local eleven had been held in check, and really out played by the visitors, and it began to look as though the Cornell boys were to be the victors. but after they had made their touchdown and the elevens had changed goals. Pennsylvania. in the last ten minutes of play, aided by the stiff wind gradually forced the ball down the field for a touchdown.
 In the first half Cornell outplayod Pennsylvania in all departments of the game, with the exception of kicking. The visitors gained 125 yards by rushing against seventy-two for Pennsylvania Twice they had the ball within strik- ing distance of the Quaker goal line, but each time Pennsylvania braced up and took the ball.
 Shows Relative Strength.
 The score shows the relative strength of the two elevens, for Pennsylvania s fumbling habit. which had been tenn porarly cured, suffered relapse, and pre- vented the local eleven from scoring at least two additional touchdowns. Twice they pushed the ball from midfield to within five yards of the Cornell goal but on both occasions there was fum- ble and the Ithica boys kicked the ball out of danger.

 Neither team was able to score fin the first half, but early in the second half Cornell aided by the wind forced the ball we'll within Pennsylvania territory. After Cornell had carried the ball to Pennsylvania's twenty-yard line, the Quakers held firmly and took it away from the lthicans. Sheble kicked. but got 1t on Pennsylvania's fifty-yard line. From this point the visitors carried it over for touchdown without losing it. Their main ground gain was a revolving massed tackle which the Pennsylvania eleven seemed unable to stop.
 At Corner of Gridiron.
 The touchdown was made at the corner of the gridiron and the punt-out was not heeled by Halliday, who dropped to the ground. This failure cost the Cornell team the point which would have tied the score. The elevens then changed goals and Shelbe was able to outkicS Walder on an average of from ten to fiften years on each exchange of pnts. Pennsylvania soon got the ball on Cor nelrs 35-yard line. About this time Cap tain Costello and Half Backs Walder and Gibson, who had been the mainstay of the Cornell eleven were forced to quit the game because of the fierceness of the play. Pennsylvania taking advantage of this condition started in to play harder than ever, and soon carried the ball over for a touchdown. The touchdown was
