Team

Nov. 25.-Fighting desperately in the
last quarter after defeat seemed near.
Cornell dashed the hopes of Pennsyl-
wanna to the ground and clinched its
right to the eastern football champion
ship this afternoon by defeating the
Quakers "a to 8.
Throughout the early stages of the
game, Pennsylvania showed a surpris-
ingly strong defense and for time it
looked as though they would retrieve
themselves after disastrous season.
A Pennsylvania victory looked reason
ably certain until the opening Of the
final quarter when Cornell came back
with rush and battered the Quaker
line mercilessly. Barrett's splendid
kicking and his breaking up Of tho
Qaaker's forward passes sealed Penn
sylvania's doom.
Cornell threatened to cross PennsyI-
vania 8 goal in the last minutes of the
first quarter, but the Quaker line was
immovable. Russell kicked off and
Mueller, who caught the ball was
brought down on Cornell Is twenty yard
line. Barrett Immediately resorted to
kicking, but the ball rolled out Of
bounds on Pennsylvania Is four yard
line. Bell punted to Pennsylvania q
forty five yard line.
Oopell made four yards in three
downs and then kicked to Pennsylvan-
las eight yard line. Bell punted Cor
nell made first down. After Pennsyl-
vania broke up an attempted forward
pass, Barrett punted to the Quaker's
nineteen yard line.
After punting duel, Barrett by end
runs and forward pass twice made
first down reaching Pennsylvania -
seven yard line. Here the blue and red
line held firm and Bell punted back to
Pennsylvania Is 0-yard line. Cornell
was gaining steadily when the whistle
blew.
At the opening of the second quar-
ter, Cornell started from Pennsylvan-
Ia Is sixteen yard line with only yard
to 90 for the fourth down. Barrett
dashed over the line for the touch
down. Barrett kicked goal Score,
Cornell 7, Pennsylvania 0.
Collins returned the kickoff to Cor
nell's twenty-seven yard line. On
fake kick formation, Barrett made
twenty yards through the Cornell line.
Russell recovered the ball on Shiver-
ick's tumble. Pennsylvania held for
downs on Cornell's forty-five yard line.
Pennsylvania was penalized fifteen
yards for holding.
Miller shot the longest forward pass
ever seen on Franklin field, As yards
to Hopkins, who tore through the Cor
nell interference to Cornell's g 10 yard
line. Visions Of victory floated be-
fore Pennsylvania rooters and cheer
after cheer floated over the field aa
the Quakers shot another forward pass
over the ratified Ithacans heads and
planted the ball within u yard of her
goal. Williams was showed through the
Cornell line for touchdown. Mathews
missed goal. Score, Cornell 7, Pennsyl-
yania 9.
Henning returned the kickoff to
Pennsylvania 's 80 yard line. After
failing to gain ground by punting, both
teams resorted to forward passes, but
again failed. Pennsylvania resorted TO
kicking again. Hawley missed an at
tempted field goal from forty four
yards. Rockefeller for Pennsylvania
intercepted an attempted forward pass
by Cornell few minutes later and
reached her fifteen yard line.
Pennsylvania rooters went wild when
lIawley dropped back and kicked goal
making the score TO in the Quakors'
favor. The half ended few seconds
afterward.
Shortly after the opening Of tho
third quarter Barrett attempted to
field goal from the "a yard line but
missed. Pennsylvania was again pen
alized this time 80 yards for reckless
disregard of rules, holding and tacklng
out OF bounds.
For few seconds red and blue root
ers hearts were in their mouths when
Cornell, foot by foot, wormed hor way
within striking distance Of the Quar-
ers' goal. She lost her advantage, how
ever, when Barrett y attempt TO kick
goal from the 40 yard line fell short.
Coming back with rush at the open
ing Of the fourth quarter Cornell swept
the Quakers OFF their feet and scored
o touchdown. After making first down,
Cornolls captain pierced the PonnAyl-
vania line and dashed down tho field
forty yards, going over with tho ball.
Score, Cornell IL, Pennsylvania ..
