PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 90. 49, Penn
sylvania outclassed the much heralded
Cornell team here and defeated her II
to 4 In game full of brilliant plays,
schoolboy football.
The teams were not on the field five
minutes before II was seen that Penn
sylvania, barring accidents and fiukes
OF the game, was likely to win. She
went at Cornell hammer and tongs
from the jump. and ali during the first
half the play was close to Cornell's
goal. The score Of the first half. 6 to
0. does not indicate Pennsylvania
strength in that period. Twice the
Quakers carried the ball over the Cor
nell line by hard work only to have
the touchdowns disallowed because Of
holding. once they lost the ball two
feet from the goal on downs, and an
other time when the ball was only two
yards from score they were again
penalized for holding.
Ray C. Van Orman. right end of the
Cornell football team. Is in the Unlyer-
sity of Pennsylvania hospital suffering
from slight conclusion of the brain
received in the game with Pennsylva-
mia. Van 0rman was rendered uncon-
scious in scrimmage.
Pennsylvania made her first touch
down through forward passes, the long
throws of the Quakers' backs putting
the ball on the five yard line, where n
couple of well directed plunges carried
1t across
Draper made second score for the
red and blue from tumble.
Cornell gave up hope of carrying the
ball across Pennsylvania lines early
in the second half and directed Cald-
well to try drop kick. which he did
with such good results that the Itha-
cans were not whitewashed
Pennsylvania 0utplayed Cornell in
every department Of the game in the
benefit OF its work by holding in the
line and being off side. The forward
pass was used almost entirely by
Pennsylvania. and Cornell could find
no defense which could stop the Penn
sylvania attack Valdez and Hollen-
beck were evenly matched in kicking,
but the Quaker backs had very little
trouble carrying the ball back long dis
| tances.
The condition of the field was re-
sponsible for many of the fumbes, but
Pennsylvania did some remarkable
work in handling forward passes. To
ward the end of the half Cornell took
sharp brace. while the Pennsylvania
| ans seemed to be firing fast.
There was plenty of betting before
the game began whenever the Cornell
men would offer even money on their
| teams. Most of the Pennsylvania stu.
dents looked for odds. Five TO was
the best price in their eyes, and occa.
sionally they got 1t, but when Cornell
students held back and asked for even
money they found 1t now and then
when they waited long enough
Cornell students never were so san
guine of the success of the "big red
eleven and never more anxious to bel
on their chances
The colleges were favored by admi
rable weather, like that which greeted
the Yale Harvard game last Saturday.

BUCkWHEAT,
A Good FiIl-in Crop.

The late season has probably upset the plans of good many of the farm CTS in more ways than one In many instances the planting of the crop has been so delayed that it is questionable If returns will be secured to repay the cost of seed and planting. In still other instances, it may appear not worth while" to harvest the crop AL though such conditions as these are not general, they will probably be met with i'll most sections of the country during this most unusual season.
 The smaller farmers may be harder hit' than the larger farmers, but in some cases, where the larger farmers money crop is the one effacted. he will also be a heavy looser. To the farmer who cannot afford to lose crop it has been suggested that way out of the difficulty may be found through the growth of some quick growing crop. Such a crop is buckwheat.
 Some farmers may be somewhat prejudiced against the growing of buckwheat, but it is doubtful if there is any real basis for such prejudice. It is true that buckwheat makes very heavy demands on the soil, even though it natures more quickly. \ good harvest of bHckwheat can be se- cured from a sowing made as late as June 18th in the Northern states and July 18th in the middle Atlantic and central Western states.
 In order to make sure of a crop it is well to apply broadcast before sow ing five to six hundred pounds of a complete fertilizer This fertilizer should contain at least SC Nitrogen, SC Phosphoric Acid and 9ft Potash, as this will not only insure a good crop but will restore to the soil the plant food which is removed so yora- eieusly by this particular grain.
 Of course, it should be remembered that there is oply a limited demand for buckwheat. but it is not necessary to dispose of ones crop i'll a local mar ket Some farmers are able to dis pose of buckwheat flour to good profit locally, but there is also a demand for buckwheat cakes in larger cities even where they do not have maple syrup" It is, therefore, quite probable that un- less very large number of farmers engage in the growing of buckwheat. it will prove a valuable "fill-in' crop in almost any season.
 To those who are aesthetically in :. clined there is no more beautiful sight than a field of growing buck wheat in blossom: il gives to the late summer landscape a charm that is said 10 surpass even the flax fields of the Emerald isle.
