HIGH PRAISE FOR
ITHACAN ELEVEN
Barrett's Kicking Of Wonderful
Calibre and His Running
Of High Order.
BY EDDIE BUTLER.
Captain Of 1912 Cornell Eleven.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.- Cornell for
the second consecutive time has over
come the Franklin Field hoodoo and
dofeated Pennsylvania to-day in hard
fought game by score OF "a 70 IL.
The score does not indicate the close
ness of the contest because up 10 the
last minute Of play, Cornell led II 20
II and a score by Penn sylvania would
have turned the tide Memories Of the
PeunsylyAnia-Navy and Pennsylyania-
Carlisle game kept the crowd m ncr-
YOU temper.
Pennsylvania demonstrated a fight
ing spirit all through the contest tnat
is to be highly commended. Every
thing that Cornell got she had 20 fight
for. Unfortunately the game was
marred by the iuhiction Of numerous
penalties, most Of them being on Cor
nell. Having been in touch with the
team all the year u seems TO me that
the officials were rather hard on our
men or else the team was brought up
wrong by the early season officials, as
there we're no differences IN the indl-
yidual style Of play Of to-day and a
month ago.
Barrett deserves all the credit and
praise that can be showered upon him
His individual play stood out and his
kicking was as great an exhibition as
have ever seen. One of his kicks
travelled fully sixty yards In the air
and came at critical time after a
forty yard penalty. His run OF hfty-hYe
yards for touchdown was the feature
Of the game, and think the turning
point Of the game, as II put the Cornell
team on its feet after il had been de-
moralized by Pennsylvania two
marches for touchdowns. On the other
hand, it demoralized the Pennsylvania
team. Great credit should be given 10
Collins, Cool and Allen for the splendid
interference they gave Barrett on this
run.
Collins By the way proved himself to
be a wonder running with the ball. lie
is light, weighing no more than $50,
but for all that is a wildcat for fight
Il was great relief TO Cornell followers
when Collins broke through the centre
of the line for forty yards in the last
quarter. II was due to his great run
ming that Cornell made its last touch
down.
Shuler, Phillip a1d Collyer should
not be forgotten when praise is being
handed out. The Cornell line played
great football and showed wonderful
adaptiveness at opening holes, as can
be proved by the fact that five times
during the game the ball was carried
from Cornell territory TO the goal line
twice for scores, once for drop kick.
once for a missed kick, and another
time to be lost on tumble. No mat
ter how good backfield is, II cannot
make gains consistently without CO.
operation from the line. and the. above
figures substantiate their worth.
Nothing can be said about the ends
but that they were wonderful. Shelton
and Captain O'Hearne, the latter play
ing his last game for Cornell, gave e
demonstration Of end play that has
scarcely ever been revealed on Franklin
Field.
PEN sylvauia's exhibition OF forward
passing showed the results OF great
practice, and was a continual source Of
worry TO the Cornell team as well as
the spectators from Ithaca.
Time and time again a double pass.
followed by a forward pass, gained
ground for them. Against the Cornell
line they could Do little in rushing
after the first quarter.
In conclusion, | would say that great
praise is due DR.. Sharpe, Dan Reed and
Ray Won Ormsn for producing last
year and this year, two teams that
have shown great football sense, ex-
cellent fundamental training and
brainy generalship.
