PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-With the
ball within one yard of the home teams
goal line the annual game between
Pennsylvania and Cornell football elev-
ems on Franklin Field today came to
an end without either side being able
to score. The finish of the contest with
Pennsylvania fighting desperately to
ward off defeat was as fine piece of
football play as has been seen on the
Red and Blue gridiron in a long time.
Cornell twice had the ball in those
last few minutes within one yard of
Pennsylvania's line, and victory ap-
peared to be certain, but Pennsylvania
men held her own by a defense that
was as impregnable as it was sensa-
tional. There were but a few minutes
OF time left when Holenback for Penn
sylvania kicked against the wind to
the home teams 45-yard line, where
Cornell man got the ball.
Two line plays and a quarter
kick put the ball on Pennsylvania IS
yard line in Cornelrs possession. Here
the Ithacans secured a forward pass.
Hollenback intercepted the pass but
was unable to hold the ball, and Van
Orman of Cornell fell on it seven yards
from Pennsylvania goal.
Two plays against tackle and Cornell
was on the 1-yard line. 1t seemed as
il nothing could stop her, but on the
next plunge into the line the Pennsylva-
ria men held and Cornell dropped in
ho, fro oil Dn1a CxlU nj q 'c
ball on downs.
With great relief the Pennsylvania
sympathizers let out a great roar at
the stand made by the home players,
which was quickly changed to cry of
alarm when Pennsylvania decided not
to take a chance to carry the ball with
it practically ON her goal line, and Hol-
lenback was sent far back of the goal
posts to kick out. He was behind the
cross-bar, and in order to avoid 1t he
kicked to one side. The put was bad,
and, aided by the stiff wind, which was
blowing diagonally across the field in
the face of the Pennsylvania players,
the ball went out of bounds about two
yards from the goal line.
With the ball in her possession two
yards from Pennsylvania goal line, 1t
looked certain this time for Cornell.
The Ithacans made yard on the first
play, and the second plunge into the
Pennsylvania line failed to gain. The
ball was then on the Quakers' 1-yard
line. Cornell had one more try remain
ing, and only a few seconds left in
which to do it. Gardiner here was
sent in to take Jamison's place at quar-
Tter-back for Cornell.
Pennsylvania was in the last ditch
and desperate. AS the Cornell men got
into position the PennsylVanians
CT ouched low, and there was death
like silence in the stands. The signal
was given, the teams rushed against
one another and half of Cornells play
ers on top of the struggling mass Of
men spilled over the Pennsylvania goal
line.
AS the teams played into each other
the time keepers whistle announced the
end of the game. Everyone believed
Cornell had won, but when Referee
Corbin and Umpire Edwards had finally
removed the struggling players and got
to the bottom of the pile they found
Cornell man hugging the ball foot
short of the line of victory.
Cornelps spirit fell, and then the en-
thusiasm of the Pennsylvania spec
tators knew no bounds.
Outside of the desperate finish, the
game did not afford either side much
sylvania got the ball to Cornelps 10
yard line, where she lost it on a tumble,
and the Ithacans once had 1T twenty
yards from Pennsylvania goal but
also lost the ball on a similar misplay.
In the first half Pennsylvania gained
almost twice as much ground as her
opponents, but in the second half the
playing was entirely in Pennsylvania
territory.
This was due principally to Walder's
good kicking, who took every advantage
of the stiff wind at his back. CornelPs
ability to rush the ball increased Won
derfully in the second half, and her
ruches invariably gained her substan-'
tial ground until the exciting finish.
Cornells half-backs, Earle and Gibson,
played a grand game, as did also Wal
der.
Levene and Scarlett, Pennsylvania
ends, were all over the field, and Green
and Hollenback put up their usual star
game. Pennsylvania went through the
contest without changing man, while
Cornell made only two substitutions.
