that was big. hard and fast. The
Red back field worked like a merry
go-round. each man displaying ball
carrying ability equal to his run
ming mates, although Pfap- n was a
shade the best of the quartet. The
publicity which Eddie Kaw received
all fall was very wisely used, by
Pfann in not using friend Edward.
There is no doubt about it the Penn
team had instructions to watch him.
but the willy Pfann gave him the
ball only in his regular turn.
ATTACK BETWEEN ENDS.
Cornell's attack was centered for
the most part between the ends.
and although they gained almost at
will in mid-field, they did not seem
able to vary 1t when nearing the
opposing goal line. The result was
that Penn. by crowding in her de-
fense. stopped the Cornell back sim.
ply by overwhelming him.
Penn was lighter and did not
seem as strong as Cornell. except in
the pinches, when they were fight.
ing with their backs to the wall.
Inside the 15-yard line the Red and
Blue forwards were practically inn
pregnable and smeared whatever
Cornell had to offer in the way of
line plays, with the single exception
Of Cornell's lone touchdown.
Penn's attack was a varied and
versatile thing and seemed to CON
tain all the various tricks of de-
ception and delay. No one could
tell when the play started. just
where it was going to finish, and
1t was simply through sheer su-
periority in size that the Red team
stopped them dead. Penn fought
gallantly. but the odds were too
great against her. She was fight
ing a polished and experienced ma
chine which outweighed her by
quite a few pounds.
PENN PLAYS. Willy GAME. -
The game was very interesting in
that 1t was struggle between two
opposite types of offense. Cornell
played the steam roller and pound
ed the line play after play. Penn.
on the other hand, was playing
willy game. trying to outguess the
defensive players.
Cornell used very few passes,
most of which were built for short
gains only and most of which were
also successful
Penn, on the other hand, used
the pass game as frequently as
the running game. Most of her
passes being long ones to an end
running hard. When successful.
they netted from 20 to 25 yards
gain. but a long pass gives the
defense plenty of time to get over
and cover it and Cornell was quick
to take advantage of this.
Penn also displayed some criss-
crosses and delayed plays which
worked with varied success. For
the most part, the Cornell forwards
seemed to diagnose them very well
and stopped them for no gain.
Penn seemed to display more
alertness than did Cornell as all
the fumbles were recovered by
Penn men.
EVEN IN PUNTING.
In punting the honors were about
even both Kaw and Hammer
punted well and the kicks were
covered to perfection by either the
ends or the tackles, giving the re-
ceiver no chance to get away.
Penn was putting two men on each
Cornell end but If = either was
stopped, the other end and the
tackle always seemed to be on
hand to receive the catcher with
open arms and gather him to their
bosoms. Penn also used the on.
side-kick. Kaw was alert and did
not give Miller, who was the. on:
side man, a chance to recover.
Hammer was placing most of his
punts, shooting for the side lines
so that Kaw would not get a
chance to run them back. |;
