even drew comment from Cornell's
prejudiced admirers, Penn went down
to defeat by the score of 20 to at
Mt. Vernon Saturday. PENIS line,
PENIS forward passes, and the
smoothness of the Penn plays were
far superior to those of Cornell in
the first three. quarters of the game.
The only score being registered was
drop kick from the thirty yard line
by the Cornell quarter back. Before
the game the talk on the side lines
was how large score Cornell would
pile up and at the end of the third
quarter the same people were won
dering If Cornell would be able to
score through the Penn line. Coach
Finger sent in Coppess, the greatest
kicker in the state, and five fresh
men, and it was these fresh men that
were able to score seventeen points
on Penn in the last quarter of the
game. The Penn line was a stone
wall in the first three quarters, break.

held the Cornell team for downs with

man on the team played every bit of
football that was in him, Meredith,
MattisoD, A. Smith and c. Smith
showed up the best from the side
lines. Meredith went over and
through the Cornell line time and
time again, throwing the Cornell
ha he -
passes, bucks and tackles We're good,
as were MattisOn's. c. Smith, Penn's
little quarterback, carried the ball
for good gains and tackled Kramm,
CornelPs half, as If he were a small
boy. Capt. Ruby smashed the line
for good gains, and the Penn ends
were down on punts in good style.
Cornell expected to have a walk-away
with Penn and Coach Finger expected
to try all his men, out during the
game, but after the third quarter he
was figuring on how Cornell could
score. Penn demonstrated Saturday
that it will take mighty good set of
backs to score on them. With this
weeks practice the Penn team should
be in good shape to give the strong
Missouri Normal team which opens
the season here Friday, a beating.
