weather and field conditions were in a
great measure responsible. Twenty thou

There was hardly any choice in the teams
during the first half. which ended in a tie
at 6 to 6, but Pennsylvania showed the
better form in the second half.

to defend the west goal, with a stiff wind
at its back. Cornell kicked off. Pennsyl-
vania failed to make any gains on the ice
and punted to midfield. The kick was re-
turned by Cornell, and getting the ball on
q tumble, the Ithaca boys started in to
hammer the Pennsylvania line. Footing in
the slush was uncertain for the defensive
team and Cornell easily carried the ball to
and over the Pennsylvania line. Robb made
the touchdown and O'Connor kicked the
goal. ,
Securing the ball in Cornell territory on
a tumble following a punt, Pennsylvania
changed its kicking tactics and started to
buck the center. Cornell could not keep
a solid footing and they We're slowly pushed
back. With five yards to gain the ball
was given to Fullback Ramsdell and he
was pushed over for a touchdown. Brad
dock kicked the goal. Score: Pennsylvania,
6; Cornell, 6.

second half started. First downs were
made with difficulty, but Pennsylvania

from the Cornell goal line. Here Cornell

managed to push Right Halfback Irwin
over for Pennsylvania's second touchdown.
