perately to ward off defeat, was DIS

unable to hold the ball, and van Or
man Tor Cornell fell on 1T seven yards
from Pennsylvania goal. Two plays

one-yard line
CORNELL NEAR VICTORY
1t seemed as if nothing could stop
Cornell, but on the next plunge into
the line the Pennsylvania men held
and Cornell dropped in her tracks. 1t
was then Pennsylvania ball on downs.
With great relief, the Pennsylvania
sympathizers let out a 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 Hollenback was sent Tar back or
the goal posts to kick out. He was
behind the cross bar, and in order to
avoid 1t he kicked to one side. The
punt was bad, and aided by the stiff
wind which was blowing diagonally
across the field in the face of the Penn
sylvania. 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
victory looked certain this time for
Cornell. The Ithacans made yard on
the first play and the second plunging
into the Pennsylvania line failed to
gain. The ball was then on the
Quakers' one-yard line Cornell had
one more try remaining and only few
seconds left in which to do 1T.
PENNSYLVANIA DESPERATE
Gardiner here was sent in to take
Jamisons place at quarterback for
Cornell. Pennsylvania was in the last
ditch and desperate. AS the Cornell
men got into position the Pennsylva-
mans crouched low, and there was
deathlike silence in the stands. Ehe
signal was given, the teams rushed

mass of men spilled over the Penn
sylvania goal line. AS the teams played
into each other the timekeepers whis-

Every one believed Cornell had won.
but when Rereree Corbin and Umpire
Edwards had finally separated the
struggling players and got to the bot
tom of the pile they found a Cornell
man hugging the ball foot short of
the line of victory.
Cornell's spirit fell. and the enthusi-
asm of the Pennsylvania spectators
knew no bounds.
LITTLE CHANCE FOR CHEERING
Outside of the desperate finish the
game did not afford either side much
opportunity for cheering. In the first
half Pennsylvania got the ball to Cor
nelrs 10-yard line, where she lost it,
on a tumble, and the Ithacans once had
it twenty yards from Pennsylvania
goal, but also lost the ball on similar
misplay. In the first half Pennsy ylvania
gained almost twice as much ground
as her opponents. but in the second
half the playing was entirely in Penn
sylvania's territory. This was due
principally TO Walder's good kicking.
who took every advantage of the stiff
wind at his back. Cornelrs ability to
rush the ball increased wonderfully
in the second half, and her rushes in
variably gained her substantial ground
until the exciting finish.
Cornells halfbacks, Earle and Glib
son, played grand game, as did also
Walder. Leyene and Scarlet, Penn
sylyania's ends, were all over the field,
and Greene and Hollenbacl. put up
their usual star game in carrying the
ball. Pennsylvania went through the
contest without changing man, while
Cornell made only two substitutions
