f.rst downs In abundance.
Cornell was clearly tae better team
and In most Of the essentials. Al
though Penn stopped the Dobie attack
better than any other team has been
able 20 do In two years, the fact IS
Cornell was stronger than the Penn
sylvsnisns by a wider gap than the
score indicates. gaining far and away
more ground. having better line, and
better backfield and being better tack

Quaker Holding Capital
Al such time, the Ithaca offense
lacked resoureefulness, and the work
Of the Quakers in holding II was really
capital football. and one development
anyway of the contest which was first
class football on Penn's side.
There was a good deal Of fighting
close 70 Penns goal, little close 20
Cornell's goal. Penn never had the
ball close 20 Corneirs goal. The
Quakers came 20 time with so little
along the lines Of strong offense that
che Comedians didn't know they had
goal line. Cornel's line was very
powerful and very agile. The Ithaean
Integers were fine tAeklers and Just
Wiped through and FOL led back the
Quaker offense eonvineingly and con-
sistently.
Speaking Of taekling, Il often was
pretty low. The rule which specifies
the knees as the point furtherest south
for tacklinR was somewhat honored In
fhs breach. Tackled gentlemen often
spouted high in the afr as If lifted
from the ankles. but they didn't go any
further when thus tackled. OF when

none the less firmly.
As an exposition Of forward passing
,his game was not Glass A. but the
Pennsylvanihns did shoot some abb
normally long ones In the last quarter.
70 was on their part the old ultra
conservative story Of using passes only
"a last desperate measure, and not
as regular part Of series Of plays.
Passes Of forty and forty-fve yards
were Sung by the Quakers, regular
fireworks, and one Of them, thrown

infreouently, but didn't need one nearly
ss much as did the Red and Blue.

What Cornell had wrs what Il most
needed. the smothering interference Of
theirs which sends guards out ahead
and fearless powerful running backs

doing II.
Part Of Cornell's running game
started with forward pass behind the
seylmmage line. The rearmost back OF
sho cluster took the ball on direct
Pass. That receiver aipped il 20 back
crossing In front Of him. IL presented
no great difficulties to the Quakers
who were through on il before Il gath
cred momentum. Cornelrs attack was
more effective when on simpler pattern
Pfann Good on Offensive
But those Cornell backs could roll
and bolt and tear Pfann did as good
offensive work as any quarterback mas
done this year. Kaw, with his wide
running and hard running, played uT
20 speelfeations, and Ramsey and Cas-
Sidy shook the opposing wall with the
.r3or Of their lolts. The admirable
and tlreless line playing Of Thurman
Penn tackle, was exceptional one-fnar
work in opposing a powerful attacking
pnit. Sullivan showed more offensive
ability than any other Penn back;
Hanson played q fine ell around game

Kav's Kicks wero easier 20 cover

Cornell In handling the ball. The ltha

There was lots Of punting IN th'

Comedians Move Fast
