PENN SMOTHERS
CORNELL ELEVEN
1thacans Were Weaklings
After Quakers Got Nov
ing; Aerial Work

Philadelphia, Nov. 30.-For a
while yesterday afternoon IL SEEM
ed that the destiny that presides
over annual football classics had or
dained that Penn and Cornell should
wage an even battle, despite the
Slaring disparity between the
strength of the two teams as shown
by their respective log-books for
the season 1917. For while it even
looked as If Cornell might be going
to shock the football world with the
greatest comeback any eleven has
made in n decade. For a while it
appeared that Bob Folwell's 1917
team was about to end the season
as it had begun it, in inglorious de-
feat.
But only for while. The final
figures showed Penn triumphant,
SIC, nearly n record for the series
between the two universities.
Cornelfs team, favored by a soggy
field that slowed up the nimble Red
and Blue backfield. and paralyzed
her shifty ends, actually outplayed
the home guard in that first period.
The Ithacan rockies. unhonored and
unsung. hammered their way
through PENIS tackles and swept
wide epd-runs around Miller and
Van Ginkle. Three times they were
close enough to the Penn goal posts
for a drop kick to be attempted.
A clever forward pass on a fake
goal from field with Berry taking,
and Van Ginkle receiving, took the
ball to Cornell's one-yard line after
four minutes more of football. Joe
Straus hammered his way over for
the second score. A dropped punt
cut killed the chance for another
point and the half ended with Penn
leading, 13 to 0.
Penn Gets Busy
There was nothing one-sided about
those figures, and Cornell kept its
goal unsmirched throughout the
third period. But the debacle began

Scoring on an average of more
than appoint for every minute of
play, Techs big steam roller football
team yesterday completely outplaYed
her lighter Central rivals in the final
Thanksgiving classic between the
two schools on Island park field.
The final score was Ga to 0. When
the referees whistle blew at the end
of the fourth quarter these games
which have been staged annually
since 1905 passed into history.
Only twice in this period has Tech
been able to gain a cleancut vic
tory, in 1914 when the score was 10
to 2 in its favor and yesterday. Two
scoreless ties were also played be-
tween the schools and in the other
years, the players from the Maroon
institution, never crossed a Central
goal line.
In yesterdays game Central was
outplayed in every department of
the game, save running back punts
and punting. Tech outweighed the
Blue and White warriors about five
pounds to the man. The Maroon
players had bundle of trick plays
which they sprung on Central re-
peatedly for large points.
Good Aerial Attack
Both sides gained much ground
through the aerial attack, but on
line plunging and end running
Techs backs were in class by
themselves. Fields, Centrars husky

ant game for his school, but was

All glory to Tech. The Maroon
eleven came back with a vengeance
yesterday and run up a record score
against their rivals. Tech played
wonderful football, and every man
on the team had part in the glor-
ious victory. There is no denying
the fact that Tech had the fighting
spirit. There was no let up once
the Maroon machine was in motion.
Techs victory yesterday gives them
the right to the state championship,
and there can be no argument pro-
duced to prove otherwise. Tech has
been waiting long time to come
back at Central and they did it yes
tCrday.
Captain Frank of Central and his
whole bunch are deserving of the
highest praise possible. Central's
varsity boys were there with the
pep" all the time. They went up
against a great team yesterday, but
the pluck was there and every man
in the Central lineup was fighting
hard at the finish. For what Cen
trail has done in the past. and the
attractive game played this season,
the highest words of praise are due.

tire backfield starred. On the line
Brough, Bell Lauster and Frock

Beck, Wilsbach Elmer and Essig

Many Long Runs
Beck made several big runs for
touchdowns while the longest run
of the game was made by Fred

pass and scampered down the field
a distance of 20 years for a touch
down. Techs points were made as
result of nine touchdowns, seven
resultant goals and one field goal. .
The number of spectators at yes
terday's game was undoubtedly the
largest that ever witnessed a grid
iron battle on Island park. Thous-

surrounded the field and hundreds
of other rooters less fortunate in
securing seating room were forced

hard-earned victory over Bucknell

throughout the contest, by Dickin-

HEAVY BASEBALL TAX

New York, Nov. 30.-The Federal
war taxes on railroad fares will
mean an average extra cost of S1,10O
a season to each team in the major
baseball leagues. according to esti-
mates just compiled by John b. Fos-
ter, secretary Of the New York Ma
tional League Club. The sixteen
travelling clubs will. therefore, en-
rich the national treasury to the
extent of about $4,000 next season.
The average mileage of each of the
major clubs is about 1000 miles a
season.
Mr.. Foster is of the opinion that
the additional cost or baseball
through taxation and the increased
hotel expenses can be met by cutting
the player limit to eighteen or twen-
u PLAYERS.

LEARN OF ME"
Pastor of Trinity Methodist Church Breaches Helpful Sermon at Shelter
 ina Arms-Girls' Vested Choir Sings.

Rev F. W. Coleman. pastor of Trim ity Methodist church, conducted the Sunday afternoon service at the Shel- tering Arms. The subject of the ad- dress was Christ's words. Learn of Me. It is good to think of Christ's Come to Me, Learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart he said. Here is something more than following Christ, learning the secret of His peace is the sum and substance of religion. Are we meek and lowly in heart Have we really adopted the sayings of Jesus? Christ's thought of ambition, wealth, power, life itself, was expressed by mans life con sisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. There re- suited a certain freedom and peace. Peace came. too, because conscience was obeyed, and from the realization of Gods daily presence He realized the need of the human life and prom ised rest for restlesenass.
 If Christ could find unrest in those
