CORNELL LOSES FAST
GRIDIRON BATTLE
WITH *PENNSY'
State University Team Victors
in Hard Fought Game With
Score of IL to 4

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26-The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania defeated Cor
nell in the annual Thanksgiving day
football game on Franklin field this
afternoon by a score of IT to 4.
Pennsylvania thus closed the season
without once drinking from the bitter
cup Of defeat and tonight herjfollowers
are claiming at least equal rank with
Harvard in the wide discussion as to
which is the better college football
team in the east. 1t was Cornells only
defeat of the year, but she fought hard
to win.
Pennsylvania did not overwhelm her
opponents as she expected. However,
except for the kicking department in
the rrst half, Pennsylvania at all times
was Cornells superior. The game
abounded in open plays, long runs and
much punting.
The playing of Miller. who replaced
Keinath at quarter back for Pennsyl
vania early in the game, was the sensa-
tionat feature of the contest. Once he
got away for IS yard run which was
spoiled by one of his teammates holding
a touchdown after As yard run fol-
lowing a fake attempt at making for
ward pass. His shooting of forward
passes was good, and his brilliant work
in running and lodging through the
Cornell players brought the spectators
TO their feet.
HOLLENBACK KEPT BUSY
The reliable captain, Hollenback, was
given much work TO do, but he at times
appeared tired and did not play up to
his standard. while Scarlet and Brad
dock were all over the field breaking up
the opposition's interference. Captain
Walder played his usual fine game for
Cornell, and ORourke was a tower of
strength in the Ithaca line In the first
half Walder outpunted Hollenback. but
in the second period, with the wind at
Pennsylvania N tnf n G
kicking was wonderful.
Cornelrs only score of the game. a
field goal from placement by Move,
was made possible by a poor punt by
Hollenback. It came a few minutes
after play was started in the first half.
Hollenback punted across the field for
a gain of 10 yards, and after Cornell
carried the ball through the line for
two chalk marks to Pennsylvania 25
yard line, Move kicked the goal
The first Pennsylvania score was pri-
kick by Walder. The latter's punt went
out of bounds on his own 25 yard line
and on the next lineup Miller made a
beautiful forward pass to Braddock on
Cornells five yard line The rest was
easy. Hollenback dashing around Cor
nell's left for a touchdown. Scarlett
kicked an easy goal.
is BITTERLY FOUGHT
The second half was bitterly fought.
Cornell made many changes. Milier's
big run came early in this half
Scarlett's good work gave Pennsvl-
vania her second touchdown Hollen-
backs punt went over the Cornell quar-
ter backs head. Scarlet tackled him
and in the mixup for the ball Castor
of Pennsylvania secured ii and in two
plays MANNER was jammed across the
line for the score. The punt out was
blocked by Shearer.
After Cornell had failed at several
forward passes. Miller made his second
sensational run. The little quarter back
was given the ball evidently for for
ward pass play. The Cornell forwards
missed the tackle and Miller started
down the field from Cornell's 4S ward
line through broken field. After run
ming about Is yards he stopped sud
denly as If to shoot a pass and as sud
denly again started across the field and
down over the line before a Cornell
man could get his hands on him The
remainder Of the game. while bitterly
contested. had no other sensational fea-
lures
