Ithaca. oct 25.-Cornell suffered her
second defeat Of the season here to-day
when the strong Pittsburgh eleven piled
up twenty points 10 Cornells seven.
The victory was decisive enough. and
the visitors played a good game, al
though there was brilliant work on both
sides.
There was much OF individual brill
fancy and good examples OF team effort.
but when IL came 10 stopping the big
gains Pittsburgh made from successful
forward passes the work Of the Cornell
team, as whole was not enough.
For two periods Cornell and Pitts
burgh fought like modmen. but the men
from the Smoky City were unable TO
stop Cornelrs rush down the field. and
Barrett carried the ball over the line
for a touchdown in the last three min
utes of play in the second quarter.
The visitors then took a big brace and
outplayed Cornell for the remainder OF
the game. A great deal had been ex-
pected Of Pittsburgh's famous play In
which four men in the back field on the
signal Hip jump into line and hit their
opponents practically on the run Cor
nell's practice this week showed that DR..
Sharpe's men knew all about this hip
play, and each time the play was broken
I'D Cornells defence showed marked i'm
provement, but the team was still slow
on the open field work.
The game was called with rain falling
on Percy Field, which already was sat
urated with water from the night before.

moderate amount OF fumbling and in gem
eral the game was fast.
Fritz again starred for the home team
and made some remarkable end runs.
Barrett TO Fritz on a forward pass always
meant a gain. These two players were
the stars of the day for the home team
and probably worked more successful
passes for Cornell in a single game than
in all the other games this season.
Wagners playing was unequalled. There
was hardly play in which he failed to
participate and he always made gain.
In the middle of the third quarter he
broke through Cornells line. grabbed the
ball after Barrett missed a punt. and ran
fifty yards for a touchdown. Other men
on Pittsburgh's squad were not lacking
in pluck. Besides Wagner two halfbacks
Hell and Dillon-stood out.
Cornell kicked off. and within two min
utes the visitors were surprised to find
that they were being pressed closely. with
varied attack of running plays and for
ward passes. In spite of these, Pitt
reached Cornell's l0-yard line, but lost
the ball on downs. the last play being a
lost forward pass back OF the goals Later
on I'm the period, a forward, Williams to
Wagner. behind the goal line failed. For
the remainder of the period the ball was
kept in the air by much punting.
An important substitution was made in
the second quarter. Tabor for Phillippi, at
left half. Tabor had never played this
position before. but seemed TO know what
was required OF him and did well. Free
quent double passes were worked. which
finally brought Cornell so near the goal
that a touchdown was inevitable.
In the first part of third quarter 1t was
hard 10 know who was superior. but Cor
