CORNELL 0, PENNSYLVANIA 0.
Big Game at Philadelphia Closed
Without Either Side SCORING.


Philadelphia, Nov 30-With the ball
within one yard of the home teams
goal line the annual game between the
Pennsylvania and Cornell football elev-
ems on Franklin field Thursday 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 sensational a
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 line and victory ap-
peared to be certain, but the Philadel-
phia men held each time by a defense
that was as impregnable as it was sem
sational.
In the first half Pennsylvania gained
almost twice as much ground as Cor
nell, but in the second half the playing
was entirely in Pennsylvania territory
This was due principally to Walder's
good kicking, who took every advan-
tage of the stiff wind at his back Cor
neus ability to rush the ball increased
wonderfully in this second half and it's
rushes invariably gained substantial
ground until the exciting finish.
Cornel's halfbacks, Earle and Glib
son. played a grand game. as did also
Walder. Levene and Scarlet, Penn
sylvanlas ends, were all over the field
and Greene and Hollenback put up
their usual star game in carrying the
ball. Pennsylvania went through the
contest without changing a man, while
Cornell made only two substitutions.
