Of points brought another Pennsylvania
victory and Cornell downfall on Franklin
Field to-day. The long string of triumphs
for the Quakers at the expense Of the
Ithacans was increased by a game which
this time ended with l2-to-4 score.
Notwithstanding all their reputed
strength, speed. and skill. the Comedians
were outplayed from the outset. and more
than two-thirds of the battling was in
their territory on the soggy gridiron or
which the contest was decided
The strength, speed and skill were not
with the Cornellians-it was the Pennsyl-
vanians who We're the better equipped in
these essentials. They also knew more
football, and the Comedians fell far be-
low expectations. They were a big dis
appointment.
Cornell played better football in the
second than in the first half; but at no
time. with one exception. was she near

Cornelrs field goal came Just before the

touchdown in each half, and they were
assailing Cornens goal constantly in the
first and frequently in the second. But

In the back field and in a majority Of
positions in the line Penn played a better
game than Cornell The backs ran faster
and were off more quickly; the line and
the backs worked in better harmony; the
forwards moved more in unisOn-in short
there was better team play on the Quaker
side. The Cornell men were more uncer-

ground was soft and they had trouble in
keeping their footing. The Pennsylvania

Hollenbeck. Draper. Ziegler, Powell.

was good with his steady punting and
long, sweeping runs. Draper ran with

65-yard run for a touchdown after
tearing through and nipping the ball

admirably, and received the forward
pass in brilliant style FowelTs de-
fensive work was superb, and Keinath
caught kicks well. and was the main

kicks. What there was was done mostly
by Pennsylvania Van Orman and the
other Cornell ends We're capable in line
defense and covered kicks ceverly but
their tackling lacked the sureness Of the
Pennsylvania outiankers. McCallie
played good football, and went into his
openings clean and hard, though he
never travelled far. The Pennsylvania
secondary defense was too watchfuI for
that. o'Rourke was a good man in the
line for Cornell. He was in all the plays
and covered great deal of ground.
