feats. one right after another, was
broken. by O. score o. p TO O, and now
a precedent is being established to of
set the habit SO long enjoyed by the
Ouskcrs. Somehow or other, turkey
has taken ON a new flavor
Pennsylvania did NOT lose, however,
without a bitter tght. and did not final

thoir four thousand girls, who came

In the FIRST half the Quakers were

Penns, l,aria Wakes Up.
To all appoarances Pennsylvania was
doomed 20 q smotheriug defeat as the
second hali opened. but the eleven, re-
rfo~ced u the back neld by Merrill
~ quarter iu place o. Murdoch and
Averv and Nofct 80 place OF Tucker
and Matthews. suddenly awoAe ana
found itself. practically for the hrSt
time ir q most dismal season.
The playe.s rallied with such over
..-crivl force and with such master
spirit that Cornells lead was
.. .,lv v ped out. Cutting loose Tor

.ay iu tho third period. -orneI ap-
..rertiy had no defence Tor thls
method OF attack. and the men were so
s-stised and bewlderod that thcy
seemed utterly unable 10 cope win 'he
situation.
Merrill made one OF the touchdowns
and Koons the other. and both on we'll
.yecrted forward passes, as the run

one of the goals and Avery the other,
both OF the easy kind, but the fenn-
s.lvania undergraduates, VINO almost
last their reason and certainly lost

.vcrv prospect that the disappoint-
nents OF the season would be atoned.
Barrett to the Rescue.
Just when it looked, however, as n
the team crushed boy Michigan would
turn and beat Nichigan's conquerori
Just when 20 looked g. if that old haDlt
O. beating Cornell, 10 matter What
earlier games presaged. would be re
y.ved Barrett. the brilliant quarter
back. rushed once more 70 the rescue
Of hi, team and turned the tide again
toward Ithaca.
Barrett has been likened 20 fox for
cunning. TO deer for speed. 20 a griz-
sIv for strength. TO 8 goat for sure
footedness. TO an eel for elusiveness,
and Barrett combined all these quail
lie for one brief minute this after
noon.
Catching the ball on a punt from
Averv near the centre OF the held, he
lodged clear Of two Pennsylvania
tackles. wr.ggled and squlrmed free
from another. and then, calling on ms
great speed and cunning in following
interference. raced ffty-tive yards FOR
2 touchdow and then uncOncerncdly
kicked the goal before the Cornell
stand had stopped rocking and trem-
bling from the explosion OF human
lungs and dancing feet Bedlam
reigned on one side Of the field; gloom
settled on the other, for truly that run
of Barrett's proved the turning point,
and thereafter Cornells star was IN
the ascendant.
Cornell Clinohes Game.
The Quakers threatened once more,
hut the effort was more or less spas
modic. while late IN the fourth period
Cornell. taking the ball oa Pennsyl-
vania's 40-yard line, plunged and ripped
its way along for another touchdown,
PhTUipDi going over for the score and
Barrett again kicking the goal.
60 ended d game which "as as tull
of thrills as am old-fashiOned melo-
drama. and twenty thousand persons
went home satisfied that they had seen
one Of the st exciting stru" les OF
the wear. even If the football was not
always of the best.
The Cornell coaches apparently were
not altogether satisfied with the WORK
Of their men this afternoon, but the
undergraduates were not so hard TO
please. and not only marched over ana
around the gridiron, but over and
around the streets of Philadelphia, be
hind their band, cheering, singing and
otherwise celebrating. Victory over
Pennsylvania, no matter how achieved,
is welcome.
As matter Of fact. Dr. Sharpe and
MS assistants, Dan Reed and Ray Van
Orman brought mighty strong foot
bah team 70 franklin Field this after
room, for iu truth high credit must be
given % the Pennsylvania team for the
Kind OF game II played. II was far
stronger than az any previous time
