 At the end of so minures of fight ing. during which the Itiiacan of- Hence completely eclipsed that Of the Red and Blue, the final score of the annual Thanksgiving Day battle be- tween these two old gridiron rivals stood to Q against the Pennsylvania. who went down with colors flying as . result of their terrific defensive bat He at critical sta<as.
 Cornell Disappointed.
 The result was somewhat of dis appointment for the men from the shores of Lake Cayuga who, on the basis of past deeds and in compari- con with Penn's comparatively modest achievements. were expected to add nightly to their seasons total at the expense of the rejuvenated Red and Blue.
 In spite of this, the Comedians are rejoicing over yesterdays victory, scant though 1t was, marked the second consecutive defeat that the 1thacans have meted out to their aR- cient conquerors and it likewise marked the second consecutive sea- son that the Red and White eleven has gone through it's schedule with out being defeated. The honor of being the team last to humble the Doble eleven belongs to the team that was vanquished yesterday. Penn hav- ing turned in 2S to Q count against the Ithacans on Thanksgiving Day two years ago.
 One touchdown and a placement goal was the final margin that separ- afed the two teams yesterday, but Cornell show enough drive to have put over one or two more tallies, only the masterful fight gof Penn prevent Ing the score from mounting higher.

 others were engaged in the melee. If required the hard work of the biz squad of Meriden policemen to quell the disturbance and the Ail-iartford rooters had to watch their pets walk off the field. with the minions of the law around them, this applying par ticularly to the group that Benadies
 was in. Six policemen boarded the automobile that carried .Bonadies back to Meriden. He was bleeding badly about the face.
 Hard Fought Game.
 The game itself was hectic af. fair. both elevens struggling tiercely at all times. Three times the Hart ford team had the bali within scoring distance for the locals goal posts but on each occasion attempts for place ment kicks by Johnny Lnnders went wild. The New Britain team had the hall in the All-Hartford territory few times during the game. the defensive work of the All-Hartford team beiEg very good. In the matter of ground gained, the All-Hartford team had the edge, forward passing accounting for several sizeable distances.
 Locals Goal Threatened.
 The All-Hartford team used Murphy and Hunt in the backfield and they worked well with Johnny Landers and Fully. Murphy at times ripped through the line for six and seven yards and his tossing of forward passes was accurately done. Three times did the New Britain fans hold their breath while Johnny Landers dropped back in effort to drop the ball between the upr1ghts. The closest he came was in the fourth period, when, with the ball on the New Britain IS yard line, Fully used very bad judgment. His signal called for q run, with the result that Hunt was tossed back for an eight ',ss. Landers try from the 3s nsfell short by only a few fec, All-Hartford backfield and Bean p.ayed excellent football.
 Many Subs Used.
 For New Britain, Captain Eddie Peterson, Harmon, Dill and Carpenter did splendidly. For some unknown reason, both Harmon and Peterson were taken out of the game for substitutions. This did not meet with the approval of many of the fans. In the line, Nealon, Politis. | Duly, Malone and FranlSel, played fine football. Jimmy Conley and Blan- shard turned in a good exhibition and T ,d" Leary, the Windsor Locks boy, played smart game while he was in he fray. Rogers was as dependable Is ever. In the fourth period, Har- noh entered the fray and it was mar 5elous to watch him crash and bang lis way through the All Hartford line Or big gains.
