teammates a chance And then, again
maybe dear old Penn was suddenly de-
veloping too much strength in the arms
and legs, as well as in the head, for
l"Chuck' and Cornell.
Forward Pass Works.
In any event, the announcer with the
mega phone began talking a great deal
about Pennsy players and rarely men
! tioning Chuck or the rest of the boys
from high above Cayugas waters. As a
matter of fact Chuck" originates
around East Pittsburgh, Pa, but that
wouldn't seem well in a song. A volley
of forward passes staggered the Cornell
rush, and the first thing they knew Hop
kins had caught one from II. Miller so
close to the Cornell goal line that Will
| liams easily elbowed his way over on
the next play for touchdown. Derr
missed his boot from the touchdown. He
missed it about as far as from Philadel-
phia to Trenton, and Penn still was q
point to the rear. Presently. however.
Hawley punched a field goal from the
20-yard line. and Pennsylvania was two
lengths in front.
That was a great moment for Phila-
delphia, Pa. The Penn students jubi-
lated studiously. Citizens of Philadel-
phia relaxed their features and smiled.
wild blast of noise ripped along the
south horizon and banged up against the

The period went on into history and
the experts continued to shake their
heads. Their headshaking orbits had
widened by this time TO some extent as
the Ithaca citizens had tainted. The
Philadelphians were now just in the
hopeful stage. They were hoping Penn
could hold that narrow margin.

of going through the line with consid-

Chuck" off to the size of the score.
Anyway, he suddenly ripped his way
right through the Penn front and ran
20 yards to a touchdown. He burst up
and out of a scrimmaSe. like a man
coming through a hedge. He then

he just rambled. He passed through the
broken field and across the Penn goal
line with all the ease OF Cornell's little |
black bear climbing up the Penn posts, |
which was an incident of the intermis- |
sion.
Presently Chuck" intercepted a Penn
forward pass on the 3O-yard line and ran |
il back 10 yards. Assisted by Collins, |
Chuck" hammered the ball along to |
Penn's lo-yard district. Then they let |
Shiverick in on the deal and Shiverick |
lugged 1t to the 5-yard line and finally on |
over.
Subsequently. Barrett dropped back at |
the H-yard mark and booted a goal from
the field. just to make things good and |
discouraging for Penn. He had missed !
three previous attempts. In fact after
MS nrst Hash, and during that period of |
or whatever il was
Chuck" was not astonishing the natives
TO any extent. but he closed with three
rahs and a tiger.
Penn had been using the forward pass
with considerable effect, passing some
of EN- so far that it looked as IL the
passers used slingshots. but Chuck"
finally got to coaxing the ball out of the
air in'o his arms. He has an eve like An
eagle, has Chuck" and those passes
simply could not escape him.
Penn introduced a busy little Gun n,
tea named Loucks in the last period and
Loucks made some grand runs, including
one of forty-five yards, but nothing came
OF that
All things considered. Penn made a sur
prisingly good showing. She has been
beaten three times and twice tied this
season and football affairs were SUM-
posed to be in a more or less chaotic
around Franklin Field. but
against her ancient rivals from Ithaca
she made a grand battle. This was Cor
lell's third consecutive victory over
Penn under the regime of Al Sharpe
The University of Pittsburgh was unable
10 beat Penn by as wide a margin as
Cornell did today. and Pittsburgh is Cor
1ell's only rival for the championship of
the East
