Although outweighed by more than ten
pounds to the man, the East Orange team
surprised the visitors by putting up an ag-
gressive battle. The legion OF devotees or

star quarterback of East Orange, recovered
a kick and ran the fun distance OF the

window and paid no attention, but when he
heard the hounds in full cry nearing his

best at hitting the line, whereas O'Connor
and Butler were splendid In the open field.
Eyrlch was keen in his scent of the ball
but his end was so frequently fanked that
ne lost prestige as a great player. Minds'
Of Pennsylvania played a steady game at

and many gains through the line, exc
cutting his forward passes with precision
and giving a variation and strength to the
PENNSYLVANIA attack that resulted in scores
Let me praise Captain Mercer, Of Penn

II was a rare occasion when one Cornell

he did the fastest work of his career anu

the best backfeld man who has ever played

About Equal Extensively.

The two teams were about equal on of
fensive strength. but the PennsylVanians
had more finish TO their open play, espe-
ciaIly in forward passing, as Minds and
Mercer frequently dropped the ball i'm the
hands of their waiting ends, whereas Cor
nell backs were a little wilder, frequently
overthrowlng the man at the receiving nd
and thus losing valuable opportunitie
Pennsylyania's bachfeld showed a new
idea I'm defence for the forward pass and
one that looked very good, as 1t checked
Cornelrs advance several times when the
latter men were within scoring distance.
This defence consisted in pushing the OPP
posing ends and backs out Of the way To
get at the ball, which, being accomplished,
in place of catching the ball, the Pennsyl-
vania players generally batted 1t 10 the
ground. This was always so when Cor
nell was thin the sacred zone whereas
at mdheld Pennsylvania slightly altered its
defence in that tse backs caught the ball.
Cornell must receive credit for a well
planned forward pass during the second
quarter on the third down on Pennsyl-
vanias 3O-yard line at the left side of the
field on an attempted kick from placement.
Enrich who kneeled to receive the ball,
suddenly jumped TO lis feet and passed to
OConnor down the side line Unfortu-
nately. the latter man was out of bounds
and the play failed.
There were two odd happenings in to-
days game, the first Of which might have
proved a serious injury to Young, OF Penn
sylvania, & he crashed into Jourdet h..
teammate, in attempting To block a kick.
Fortunately, Young was not badly hurt,
though he had To retire. The other was
when Morris blocked OConner's attempt at
free kick for goal from placement as It
marked a play that is seldom accomplished

Eyrich Scores for Cornell.

Then, with the period nearly over, the
tide suddenly turned. Butler got off one OF

the PENNSYLVANIA backs, and quick as
fash Eyrich snapped up the ball. and with
Captain Munk to interfere ran thrty-fve
yards for a touchdown. When Butler
kicked goal the score was tied.
Cornell had all the better of the second
period and kept the fight in Pennsylvania
territory most of the time. 1t looked as If
the Quakers had played themselves out in
their first wild plunge. and no doubt such
was the case. Bit By bit Pennsylvania
gave ground, and when Butler lodged his

ing punt from Mercer I'm the centre Of the
