Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 29.-His-!
tory repeated itself on Franklin
Field yesterday afternoon, Pennsyl-
vania again winning the annual,
football game with Cornell, the score
being twelve to four. 1t was Penn
sylvania's thirteenth victory 81 IF
teen games played with the Ithac-
ans, New York having won one con-
test. Cornell fully expected to win.
The team had a good seasons re-
cord, the men were trained to the
hour and it was expected that Penn
sylvania, which had been erratic this
year, would not be able to withstand
the aggressive work of the Cornell
lians. So full of confidence was Cor
nell that the supporters turned the
tide of betting in her favor.
The score of the first half, to o,
does not indicate Pennsylvania S
strength in that period. Twice the
Quakers ecarried the ball over the
Cornell line by hard work, only to
have touchdowns disallowed 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 the score they were
again p2nalized forsshalding. In this
half the Quakers were penalized rs
yards and held Cornell to one first
down.
Pennsylvania clearly outplayed
Cornell in this half and yet, owing
to her holding proclivities, was able
to make but one touchdown.
Conditions were practically reYers-
ed in the second half although Penn
sylVania made another touchdown to
a field goal by Cornell. In this half
the Ithacans seemed to gain strength
and several times endangered the
Pennsylvania goal.
Pennsylvania principal play
was forward pass which she work
ed almost to perfection. Keinath,
the star backet ball player was ac-
curate in his throwing and the Penn
sylyania man was usually on the
spot to receive the ball.
1t was Though this play that the

in Cornell's territory in the first
half. After getting close enough to
the goal Line. Pennsylvania, after
getting close enough to the goal line,
changed the style of play and ham
mered Cornell for their first touch
down.
In the second half Cornell did most
of the forward passing but the play
did not bring substantial results to
Pennsylvania. Score: Pannsyl ylvania
II; Cornell, 4.
Pretty Filde Goal
The second touchdown of the
Quakers was the result of one of
Cornell's forward passes being block
ed. The ball was on Pennsylvania s
50-yard line. Droper was on the
ball in a flash and in a clear field ran
25 yards for Pennsylyania's score.
Cornell's field goal came late in the
second half. Cornell got the ball in
midfield and worked 1T to the 23-
yard line. Unable to make further
headway, Caldwell, who had replaced
Gardner, who had replaced Gardner
dropped back to the a5-yard line and
kicked a beautiful goal at difficult
angle.
Predictions that the game would
he roughly played because of the
high spirit of the teams, were all
wrong. There was little roughness
and few men were laid out through
injuries. Van Orman was carried
off the field in a semi conscious con-
dition. The crowd was one of the
largest that has ever gathered on
Franklin Field. and the weather was
ideal for both spectators and players.
