Upstate Eleven Has No
Chance to Tally,

Chicago, Nov. 1s-Cornell was defeated
to-day by the University OF Chicago on
Marshall Field by score of to o. The
victory Of Chicago was largely due to the
aggressive playing of Kennedy. a suosu-
tute right halfback. and the kicking OF
scruby. who scored two field goals. Cor
nell came near tallying once. placing the
ball on Chicsgos vineyard line, but the
Maroons held and kicked to safety.
Cornell had several chances to score dur
ing the early part of the game, but luck
and vicious playing by the Chicagoans pre-
vented. A strong wind swept across the
field and this worked against the Eastern
men at critical times.
Under clear sky the teams struggled
almost evenly at times. but the superior
punting of Chicago turned the game against
Cornell. The crowd spent much of us
lung energy in cheering the KICKING OIL
Scruby, a Colorado farmer. who has been
one of Coach Stages main supports this
season. Chicago's team work was sur
prise, as the eleven only recently met oe-
feat by large score at the hands or the
University of Minnesota.
The game to-day was the fifth in twelve
years between Cornell and Chicago, ano'
counting to-day's victory. the Chicagoans
have won two OF the contests to Corner
one, the other two being tie games.
Marshall Field was heavy. which was an
advantage for Chicago, as the local team
outweighed Cornell seven pounds to the
man. Coach Stage of Chicago predicted
defeat for his team just before the game,
but his assistants were more optimistic.
Kennedy, a substitute back for Chicago
was Cornells undoing. With the ball on
Cornells 40-yard line in the second period
Kennedy scudded through a broken field
for twenty yards, and then Scruby dropped
back for a kick from placement, which
made a score of points for the Chicago
team.
The first half was replete with thrills.
The Maroon eleven played with rush
which surprised even the most sanguine Oh
It's enthusiasts The line was impregnaole
and moved off with dash In every play
Cornen's attack was weak and poorly
planned.
In the third period Kennedy again as
played his prowess as fighter by carry
Ing the ball IN successive plays almost the
length Of the field. Delayed passes threw
the Cornell team into CONSERVATION anu
ChIcagos backfeld smashed through De-
hind clever interference for gain AFTER
gain. After a spectacular forty-yard run
from the centre of the field by Kennedy
Chicago fought for a touchdown. sauer
went around right end for gain OF twelve
yards, and Paine battered his way through
the centre for a yard to CornelFs lS-yard
line. Scruby. however, was forced to KICK
from placement and made the last tally
OF the game.
In the fourth quarter Cornell fought nara
and by a series of end runs and attempted
forward passes. which lacked distance, sue
ceeded in getting the ball 10 Chicagos l.
yard line Here the rnaroons stood their
ground and got the ball on the marx.
Scruby kicked from behind the line, ana
there ensued a monotonous series OF line
plunges.
