In Paris for the treatment of wounds

GrinneII Defeats Cornell.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell Nov. 26.-Grinneu wound up
the most successful gridiron season in
its history Saturday when 1t pounded
out "a to u victory OYER Cornell at
Mount. Vernon, in q thrilling game.
Altho both teams displayed scrappy
brand of football, the contest was al
ways Grinnclrs, and the result was
never in doubt after the first fewJmin-
utes of play.
AItho Captain "Stub" Hartwen, IF
Cornell, was out of the game with a
broken leg and Winkler of the purple
team was forced to leave the game
during the first quarter with a broken
ankle, it is doubtful whether their pres
ence in the lineup would have material
ly changed the score. Nine scarlet
mels were playing their last game for
Grinnell and nothing but a Gripping
Of the entire team could have kept
them from winning.
