I'm individual work the name Of Fritz
ranks highest FOR Cornell in this game,
and IL will be one 10 hand down 10 Cor
nell teams of the future. Here was a
iuc-smashing back of wonderful power
and daring one who was as strong at the
end as during those first rushes and
who Individually stood out as the bright
particular star OF a we'll rounded and
evenly balanced team.
Lahr PLAYED a strong game at defence
his tackling being OF that driving type
that sent the plungng Quakers backward
when he hit them. In the line the play OF
the lthacans was OF a high type. well
finished and strong, the men working so
wyll together that none stood above the
others In individual brllliancy.
That was the rems rkablc point about
il. the one that above all else shows the
master hand OF Sharpe. We in Philadel-
phia. with mingled feelings OF admiration
and dismay, see the figure Of the Cornell
coach looming up before us for the years
To come And TO him we give all honor,

caps greater than any other football men

sway through this long game. When we
have digcstcd the contest and reasoned Il

Big Red Team was the spirit Of Al
Sharpe; none other than Sharpe put that
fine team spirit and team play into Cor

gave Cornell team that could outiight

way, is ideal football.

Minds and little Marshall deserved a far
better fate-Minds for his clean, hard
play and for his nerve and grit, for IL
must be remembered he entered the game
with broken shoulder; Young for his
dogged defensive work and Marshall for
line punging that was as intense and
fierce as that of Fritz. only that IT lacked
the power of many pounds back 1t it, for
Marshall weighs only 1856 pounds.
AS to the line, il was outplayed because
il did not possess good football. The ma
tcrial was there and the spirit and all
that, but IL was line unfortunately
without means OF DOING battle, not, one
may suggest, the fault OF Its personnel.

all he would say was:

Captain Munns said:

Every man put up fight that could not

Jack Moalley. coach of the track team

Third Period FaVors Quakers.

Barrett kicked off for Cornell to open
the second half and third period and the
struggle quickly waxed hotter. With the
ball on his own 4O-yard line after four
plays, Barrett made forward pass TO
NUNS for twelve yards, but another one
failed, and an exchange Of punts was i'm
order. The Quakers also resorted to for
ward passes without avail, and more
punting followed until Barrett kicked out

LAFAYETTE HARD PRESSED

tory Over Dickinson Eleven.

[By Telegraph to The Tribune.l
Easton. Penn, Nov g7.--In one Of the
most thrilling games ever played on
March Field, Lafayette closed the season
with a victory over Dickinson to-day by n
score of 10 o. The day was icy cold
and snow fell throughout the game.
The victory can be attributed directly
to Williams, OF Lafayette, a freshman,
heretofore ranked as a substitute player
He made touchdown In the early min
utes Of the game by brilliant run
through the whole Dickinson team for
forty yards. All through the game he
was in the limelight by virtue Of his
magnificent running with the ball.
The Lafayette defence was powerful AZ
critical moments. Twice II held on
the l0-yard line, after Dickinson had CON
sistently carried the ball over half the
length of the gridiron,

Simple Formation Works.

COrnelrs best gains came a a rule
from q simple formation with four men
spread behind tho line in order to widen
the Quaker line Of defence. While this
was not accomplished. the superiority
OF the Cornell forwards over those OF
Pennsylvania made consistent ground
gaining possible at many times. In the
open game the Ithaca eleven also had
the better of the argument, although
not relying upon forward passing as did
tho Quakers VINO used il most disas-
trouslv at several stages in tho game
when the Cornell backs caught Miuds's
long throws instead of grounding them.
Cornelrs successful pass was a short
right and tossed 10 the left end or left
tackle. who delayed and then went down
some ton yards to receive It,
The Qualtcrs took longer chances. as
most Of their passes were from n kick
formation and were nothing more than
long tosses down the field. only one Of
which was recovered, md that by Kelly,
a third sub. vino proved himself one Of
the best ends the Quakers used all af-
tcTnoOn, cSpccla!lN IN SUdSHlnS lnitI1eE-
cnce.
Pennsylvania best plays and longest
gains came from a criss-cross play,
with Young carrying the ball inside
Cornclls right end. after the attack had
been feinted 10 the opposite side. At
tempts were made to fake centre bucks
and then lave the backs circle the OPP
posing ends. but at the Cornell tackles
and ends seldom came across the line OF
scrimmage upon centre plays the result
was distinct loss OF ground for the
Quakers
In punting Cornell had the better of it
because OF the really brilliant work OF
It's ends in getting down the field. This
pair set standard for covering kicks
that surpassed by far anything | have
seen this year, and their tacklng was
absolutely certain. Not far behind them
came the whole Cornell line. so that they
discounted any chance the Quakers might
have in getting Marshall away for long
run I'm the open field.

in football way. His mates, however,
were not far behind him. Barrett
showed excellent judgment in directing
the play and placed his punts we'll
Captain Munns and Williamson were a
power in the line, and both showed
rare versatility and a wide range by
following the ball closely and making
many tackles in the open. Both re-
peatedly wore down the field under
kicks with their ends. and both were
conspicuous in opening holes for their
backs. Labr and Collier and Phillippi
also played their part well in the back
field, while Shelton stamped himself an
end well up TO the standard.
Minds, of Pennsylvania, who went
through the game with an injured
shoulder, did some remarkable punting
and altogether played a sterling game,
handicapped as he was. Captain Young
and Marshall were the others who stood
out for the Quakers, the former in par
ticular being a host in himself in the
secondary line of defence. But for him
Cornell would have gained half again
as much ground by straight rushing.
Cornell's whirlwind start had much
TO do with the victory. The Pennsyl-
vania forwards seemed at a loss TO
stop the fast charging backs, so that
gaping holes were torn in the line
through which many a yard was
gained. After the first period, however,
the men settled to their work and
pretty well checked Cornelrs running
game-but the damage had been done.

Football Might to Win
Continued from first page.

with brilliant runs and startling stu
ations.
The summary shows that Cornell
gained 15S yards by straight rushing
from scrimmage formation for seven
first downs TO 119 for Pennsylvania
and FIVE first downs. but these figures
do not indicate the full measure Of diff
ference. as the men from Ithaca had
greater continuity in the running at
tack. and consequently were far more
effective for scoring purposes. Captain
Young of Pennsylvania also tackled on
thirty-fve yards to his teams total
by brilliant dash for that distance
on a double pass, which in some re-
spects was the most sensational play
Of the game
The punting figures also are mis-
leading. as they show that Minds aver
aged much better than Barrett, where
as Cornell gained many valuable yards
on several exchanges, and moreover
punted seventeen times to only seven
for Pennsylvania. Then, too, Hubbard,
who was sent in to make one punt,
when Barrett was resting up his bad leg
for few moments. kicked directly into
his own line, which brought the aver
age down.
Cornell Ends Cover Bali Well.
One other point should be mentioned
I'll Inc pofN-
tically nothing except on one exchange,
because the ends were down under
punts with the speed Of the wind and
held the Quaker backs to q scant TWEEN
~ yards in running back the ball The
Red and White team, on the other
hand, gained ninety-three yards in this
way, Lahr in particular proving elusive
and fast in q broken field
The Quakers gained thirty-lve yards
ION one forward pass, but ten others
went astray. either being intercepted
br uncompleted. In the second half they
opened up the game in an effort TO
lequalize the score by the use Of this
play, but all for nothing. Cornell made
i've forward passes, but only one was
rompleted for gain Of twelve yards.
The men from Ithaca made only one
fumble-on the first play following the
kickoff, which opened the way for
Pennsylvania to score if the attack had
been strong enough. otherwise they
handled the ball in the cleanest posi-
bic way, showing thorough knowledge
of the fundamentals. The Quakers, too,
handled the ball we'll except in catch
Ing punts wen Merrill was in the game.
They made five fumbles. and on two
occasions lost the ball because Of the
vigilance Of Cornell men.
Fritz was the star of the game by all
odds. He hit the line as if shot out of
a catapult, tackled with unerring skill,

On tho other hand, Minds gave a mas

had his ends been of the speedy type
Cornell would have had no advantage
here. His punts were generally from a
running formation, nccessitating very
quick work upon his part in getting them
