FROM CORNELL TEAM

sided Score of % to 3-Pennsylvana's Victory First
One Over Cornell Since 1912.

Philadelphia, Nov. so.--The Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania football team
stalked over. around and through the
Cornell eleven here this afternoon,
burying the Ithacans under a score of
23 to 3. 1t was the first victory for
the Red and Blue over the Ithacans
since 1912.
And tonight the last vestige of
doubt which may have existed that
Penn chose wisely in selecting Robert
Folwell to lead her team out of the
quagmire of disaster which has en-
veloped the Red and Blue for the past
few seasons, has been wiped away.
Foiwell has delivered. The decisive
defeat administered to the Ithacans
TODAY was the last convincing argu-
ment.
Penn Is back on the road again
to place among the front runners
in gridiron circles. The team which
defeated Cornell today went about its
job In a workmanlike manner.
The steady rain. which began
Wednesday afternoon and continued
well into the night, left much to be
desired In the way of a playing field.
The ground was wet and on numerous
occaSlO nS plays were missed because
the runner slipped and fell.
$4,000 Fans Witness Game.
However, the day was all that could
have been asked from a spectators
standpoint. The clouds had broken
by the time of the game and the sun
shone down. toning off whatever chill
the air might have had. And the
crowd of about $4,000 responded
literally to the call of the sport. Cap
tain Matthews. of the Penn team.
made a rather puny effort at kick
ing off to start the game, and Bell
made the mistake of downing the
ball on his own Vineyard line, instead
of allowing 1t to roll over. Berry
kicked out of bounds. after two tries,
at his thirty-hve-yard line. Three
attempts by Cornell Melted a bare five
yards. Shiverick them dropped to the
thirty eight-yard line and booted
goal for Cornell's only three points.
Penn Kicked off to Cornell again
and Speed raced TO his twenty-six-
yard line. Some time later Bell
heaved a pass to Urquhart. who DASH
ed forward to the Cornell goal twenty
eight yards away. Berry kicked the
goal.
Beginning the second period Penn
had the ball on her own thirty nine
yard line with five yards needed Tor
first down and two more chances TO
make them. Bell shot pass to Mil
Ter. who spiashed ahead for net gain
of twenty-six yards and the ball was
downed on Cornelrs twenty-ftve-yard
line Two tries Melted but little gain
and Berry missed a goal from twenty
yard line. Later he succeeded from
the twenty -fiye-yard line. 1t was
nice kick under difficulties
CorneIPs Chances Wiped Away.
The third period developed the
turns for Penn, which put the issue
beyond doubt. Miller fought his way
for a gain of twenty-six yards, carry
ing the ball to Cornell's six-yard line.
In three trials Derr drove through the
Cornell line for the touchdown. Berry
missed the goal
The Quakers were carrying the tina
cans at rapid pace at this stage OF
the game Mathews finally blocked
shivericks kick. and Miller was first
to the ball. grabbing 1t back of Cor
nelPs line for touchdown. Berry
kicked goal.
In the final period the Quaker con-
tfnued to beat the Reds back. Penns
margin of victory fairly measures the
degree of superiority of the Quakers
over their opponents. The Penn line
tore up the husky Cornell forwards
time and time again. Captain Mat
