PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 24.---Cor-
nclrs fast, we'll drilled eleven mur-
sered old Penn at Franklin Field to-day
by Il to 0. There is no telling how
many points the Ithacans would have
scored on dry field, for even on this
mud-laden sridiron they showed WON
dersul speed and interference.
That big red machine simply ran
Wild the whole afternoon. The Red
and Blue warriors were as helpless be-
fore ths onslaught as an infant would

condition Of the field held the visitors
En- check. Time and again a Cornell
aian broke loose only to lose footing
and to slide on his ear.
Penn had little to offer in the way
kither of an offense or defense. The

On defense, doleful GIL Dobie's pro-
teges, playing intelligently and with
splendid coordination, charged
Through their opponents at will and
frequently hurled Penn back Tor a
big loss. It was Cornell all the way,
with Penn never for moment having
she slightest kind Of chance.
Kaw Stars for Victors
Cornell had q we'll drilled limo that
did excellent work and q backfield
player in Eddie Kaw who ranks as a
real star. Kaw did some wonderful
running and kicking the whole day
pery ball magnifcently we'll. He made
only one tumble, although he received
most Of the punts and many passes
from the center.
The other three Cornell backs
pfann, Ramsey and Lechler-gave Kaw
valuable assistance on offense. De-
fensiyely the backs had little to do.
The Cornell line covered the Red and
Blue effectively on most occasions, and
Cassidys work at end was particularly
high class on defense.
Cornell used direct passes entirely
in making it's gains. The team got
under way with remarkable speed, two
linemen invariably swinging into for
nation, with the backs to form the
interference. Behind this mass the
runner generally went through for
long gains.
Wray and Miller were the only Penn
Miller was all over the lot, working
tirelessly and efficiently.
Penn at the start of the game made
a short kick which was recovered on
the 3S-yard line. But Penn did not
hold the ball long. 1t was unable to
gain an inch against the Cornell line,
and Wray punted, the ball going out
of bounds on Cornell's 15-yard line.
Cornell rushed the ball back to mid
field, and then Kaw kicked beautiful
punt that went out Of bounds on Penn's
7-yard line.
Kaw Sprints Forty Yards
Wray punted back Immediately, Kaw
took the ball flawlessly and romped
back to the 40-yard line, then on the
first play on bluff forward pass he
ran right through the center Of the
line and all the way to the goal line
for the first touchdown. Henson
kicked the goal.
Penn kicked off again TO Cornell.
Kaw returned the punt, but Penn could
do nothing on offense. Cornell re-
covered tumble on Penn's 17-yard
line, and in no time, with Lechler and
Kaw carrying the ball in turn, had
marched over for second touchdown.
AT tHe vel 6Let1 Z O1 tiiC LGAC QO6A sC& ,
in four rushes from the 38-yard line,
the visitors scored their third touch
down. Kaw first skirted his right end
and behind perfect interference went
fourteen yards before he was pulled
down. Pfann made four yards through
the line and Ramsey, ripping his way
through the same spot, got first down. :.
Then Kaw sprinted around right end
and went over the line. Henson made
good on the goal. The fourth touch
down came just before the close Of the
half, making the score 27 to 0. Hen
son missed the goal.
Penn's Play Improves
Those twenty-seven points outnum-
hered the grand total the Cornell eleven
had made on Franklin Field in the last
twenty-seven years, so the supporters
Of the Ithacans were quite we'll salts
fed. Penn did show to better ad-
vantage In the third period, performing
little more lntelligently on defense
But the local team could not stop
Dcbie's machine, no matter how hard
they tried.
An exchange Of punts followed the
Kickoff and then Kaw, cutting In
sharply on an end run starting on his
sS-yard line, sprinted straight down
tho field for 8 touchdown. Henson
kicked the goal.
The last score was made In the last
period. Penn had just managed to
make It's only two first downs. after
which 1t lost the ball on downs. Kaw
got twenty yards around right end and
Ramsey next ran forty yards through
the left side Of the line to Penn's g.
yard line. It was no trouble at all for
Kaw to 60 over from there.
