Cornell Lost to Pensy.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-Pennsyl-
vania won the football game from
Cornell on Thursday. 81 to 9. The
teams have met on Thanksgiving day
for the last nineteen years and Penn
sylvania has won seventeen times.
Ten years ago Cornell won from the
Red and Blue and five years ago the
teams played a tie game. About
$4,000 people saw the contest.
At the n Of the first period Thurs
day 1t looked like a close game with
the result much in doubt. Pennsylvan-
ia had scored within three minutes of
play and Cornell before the period
was over evened up the score. The
Ithaca team then took a brace and
played good football, but the Penn
sylvanians showed better staying
qualities. and also displayed better
g%eneralship, taking the lead in the
third period and increasing 1t in the
last quarter.
The game was good in spots. There
were numerous forward passes, in
which Pennsylvania Jared better than
Cornell. and many end runs for from
20 to 80 yards featured the game.
Captain Mercer Of Pennsylvania be-
ing the particular star in advancing

CLAIM OF VICTORY
OVER YALE A JOKE
Harvard Will Not Claim the

ball experts here declared that under
2 strict Interpretation Of the rules
P~rinceton's victory over Yale was IL
legal. Today the sharps are wonder
ing II, after all. Harvard did not beat
Yale last Saturday.
They base their claims for a Har.
ward victory on rule 6, section 9. which
would seem to indicate that an incom-
pleted forward pass. made by Camp
from behind Yale's goal line. constt-
tuted a safety and should have scored
Harvard two points.
Cambridge. Mass, Dec. Nobody
IN close touch with Harvard football
mas taken seriously the announcement
that the Crimson should have been
awarded q safety" in Saturdays game
against Yale.
A paragraph in rule s states that a
safety shall he scored when a player
OF the team In possession Of the ball
makes an incompleted forward pass
behind his W goal line. Saturday
Walter Camp. Jr., of Yale, standing
back Of Yale's goal. made a forward
pass to Avery. who lost the ball out
on the gridiron. The point Of whether
this was to be considered as meeting
the rule regarding the safety has
caused no end Of discussion, but the
Harvard coaches agree that the rule
means a forward pass that strikes tho
ground behind the goal line, being in
completed outside the field Of play as
we'll as started from behind the goal
line.
The following statement has been 10.
sued by Head Coach Percy d. Haugh-
ton Of the Harvard eleven:.
owing to the many inquiries that I
have received regarding the decision
rendered when Yale attempted to
make a forward pass from behind her
own goal line 1t seems advisable to
state frankly that Harvard is entire
~ in accord with Referee Langford's
ruling.
I'VE have always held that rule 6,
section 9, of this years rules, under
which the question arises. referred on
~ to a forward pass which strikes the
ground behind the goal line. II there
were any question as to the exact
meaning Of this rule, however. all
doubt would be removed by rule 10,
section 4. which provides that when
a forward pass hits the ground with
in the field of play, as did Camps pass
Saturday. the ball shall he returned
to the spot Of the preceding down and
the play shall count as a down.
n 1t seems and always has been
our opinion, that rule s has no appli-
cation to such a play as that which
has caused the discussion.
II sincerely trust that this state
ment will close a most unfortunate
and unnecessary discussion regarding
the incident"

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS OF
ALL SORTS
A CONSISTENT DEMAND.

There seems 10 be a consistent de-
mand that the football rules he
changed in some manner so that the
offensive portion of the play should
be increased. The fact that Harvard
and Yale have played two scoreless
ties has started the agitation for a
change anew. There is no question
that the spectators do not like to see
games where neither side is able to
count. Scorcless ties are the most
unsatisfactory part Of football. and al
ways give one the impression that he
has not witnessed a real game. Any
thing that can be done which will
tend to make scoring more possible,
will receive the merited consideration
of everybody connected with the grid
iron sport.

THE GOVERNOR SITUATION.

Kansas politics is warming up at an
unusually early period. The state pri
mary is more than a year distant but
lines are already being drawn and can
didates are entering the contest for
state honors.
While there has not been a public
announcement of the fact Mr.. Arthur
Capper of Topeka has let his friends
and a few others-know that he is
a candidate for governor. It is a laud
able ambition-to be governor of Kan
sas-and Mr.. Capper has a right to
announce himself as an asplrant for
the honor. He is a young man who
has fought his way up from the bot
tom of the ladder. He has had
enough hard knocks to steel him
against adversely and even if he should
fail to reach the goal of his desires, he
would come up smiling with his
feathers unruff1ed.
What the Republicans of Kansas
most desire just now is harmony. A
candidate should be chosen who will
not widen the factional breach in the
party. If there is to be another bitter
factional fight in Kansas next year the
probability is that there will not be
Republican governor at all. Some one
is wanted who can heal the wounds
without making new ones.
The question of harmony may ap-
pear to be one of easy solution at first
thought but there are elements which
will enter into it which indicate that
ther> must be great concessions from
the so called progressives. This espe-
cially concerns President Taft. Unless
the insurgents agree to support the
president who will be a candidate for
denomination there will be little hope
of harmony, for it is certain that the
regulars will not desert the president.
VIII Mr.. Capper and his faction of
which Stubbs, Dolley and White are
the recognized leaders agree to sup
port the president for denomination?
Up to this time nothing has been said
that indicates that they would consent
to do this

HE IS A SPANKED CHILD

The remark of Commissioner Miller
that Commissioner Tandy is acting
like Il spanked child" is no doubt true.
Mr.. Tandy probably feels like a spank
ed child. for he has received a severe
spanking and his actions therefore are
what might be expected.
Commissioner Miller takes the posi-
tion that the street commissioner
named by Mr.. Tandy was unsatisfac-
tory. Granted that this is true there
is still little justice in the course of the
commissioners in forcing onto the head
of the department a man who is dis
tasteful. Had the commissioners de-
sired to preserve harmony and to treat
their fellow commissioner. considerably
they would have asked Mr.. Tandy to
select some one else who was satisfac-
tory to the commissioners. They could
hardly expect the commissioner of
streets to be in an amiable mood after
he had been trampled under foot and
the appointment of his chief officer ta-
ken out of his hands.
The commission form of government
was organized auspiciously and there
was no disposition then to ride rough
shod over any commissioner. Then why
should the machinery of government
be crippled by such i'll advised action
as that in the Tandy case. Mr.. MiIler's
explanation is not satisfactory.
