Southern Championship.

| Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-History re-
peated itself on Franklin field yester-
day afternoon, Pennsylvania again
winning the annual football game
with Cornell, ~ to 4.
| 1t was Pennsylvania 18th victory
in 10 games played with the Ithacans,
the New York state team having won
one contest and tied another The
game was finely played, bringing out
many spectacular features which
were greatly enjoyed by the nearly
10000 people.
Cornell fully expected to win. The
team had good season record, the
men were trained to the hour, and it
was expected that Pennsylvania, which
has been a little erratic this year,
would not withstand the aggressive
work of the Comedians, So full of
confidence was Cornell that its sup
porters turned the tide of betting in
its favor.
Superiority Soon Apparent.
| But the teams were not on the field
five minutes before it was seen that
+; Pennsylvania, barring the accidents
and 1ukes of the game, was likely to
win. 1t went at Cornell hammer and
tongs from the jump, and all during
the first half the play was close to
Cornells goal The score of the first
half, to 0. does not indicate Penn
sylvania's strength in that period.
Twice the Quakers carried the ball
over the Cornell line by hard work,
he
because of holding. Once they lost
the ball two feet from the goal on
downs. and another time, when the
ball was only two yards from a score,
they were penalized again for holding.
In this half the Quakers were penalized
IS yards and held Cornell to one first
down Pennsylvania clearly outplayed
Cornell in this half and yet. owing to
its holding proclivities, was able to
make but one touchdown.
5 Conditions were practically reversed
: In the second half. although Pennsyl-
vania made. another touchdown to a
field goal by Cornell. In this half the
I Ithacans several times endangered the
Pennsylvania goal. ...... ..,....,
