  PENN TRIUMPH WAS PERSONAL BELL WIN Quaker Captain Plays Great Came His Father Sees Cornell Smothered 24O-ForlUnd Passes Bring Victory to FoItUeU BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK ut its best yesterday. All the power that’s been dormant in earlier battles showed itself in the terrific attack of ried in the swing of the Quaker drive into 24–⁠0 defeat in the final fracas Of the season on Franklin Field. 1t was n triumph in which every member of the Folwell machine shared Each did his part better than ever before, but it was a personal victory for Bert Bell leader of the sons of Old Penn and one of the gamest quarter backs ever to step on the green OF the Franklin Field gridiron. His nose swollen to twice its normal size, his lips battered and puffed and his eyes blackened, Bell was at once a picture of despair and happiness as he stepped from the dressing room of Weightman Hall for the last time as a member of Quaker football team. Victory Light His battered face was pitiable, but In his eyes there shone light that comes only when the final goal has been reached. No sooner had he stepped out side than he was showered with hand shakes and backslaps from his friends. It was his team that beat Cornell and beat ‘em bad, and Bert Bell was the happiest collegian in ten states. Just few feet away, with his eyes blinking suspiciously, stood John G.. Bell, father of the Penn captain, who was football star back in the eighties. Bert’s victory was his victory, and he was the happiest dad in ten states. Bell didn’t share in any of Penn’s scores. When the chance came for u hn oJ IN LAT else get the glory. But yet Bert Bell had considerable to 90 with the trimming of the Ithacans. He ran the ball as he never did before. He tore off gains of five, ten and fifteen yards consistently. At one time he carried the ball three times in succession and made almost twenty five yards in all And, Furthermore, he ran his team faultlessly. Farewell for Many 1t was the farewell game not only of 1919 but of all time for seven others or those who started the engagement for Penn besides Bell. They are Heinc Miller, an end who ranks among the greatest; Hobey Light one of the best halfbacks ever developed at Penn John Iitzel and Lew Little. two sturdy and swift tackles; Jim Neylon, hard : working and reliable guard; Lud Wray, consisten center, sure on swapping and deadly on the defense, and Joe Straus, line tearing half All played good bootball for the Red and Blue. 7 Bud Hopper. one of the regulars. who will return; Heine Miller, Hobey Light and Bots Bruner did all the scoring for the Quakers. Hopper Light and Mil Ter tailed touchdowns in the order t,sh FOL 4 field goal from the % yard line and three goals from touchdowns. Cornell came here prepared to defeat Penn on forward passes and. in = stead, lost or forward passes. Two of the three Quaker touchdowns came on aerial tosses. 1t was in the second period that the Folwell fighters first broke into the scoring. The ball was advanced to the 12-yard line and toss from Bell to Hopper sent the ball over the line In the fourth quarter Heine Miller snatched an eighteen yard heave from Bell and sprinted five yards to the 9thacan goal. Headwork Results The second touchdown scored by Cap tain Bells eleven was the result oil some neat headwork by the Quakers. field, the ball hitting the Is yard mark and rolling to the 7yard line. Here several Penn men and Shiverick stood watching. Shiverck was pushed Oh the ball and then Hopper fell on 1t on the 5-yard line. 1t took four plays tC get the ball over, Hobey Light finally scoring on an end run. The advance dope concerning Cornell’s line proved true. Jimmy Munns has turned out splendid first defense for the Red and White. The Ithacan line men often allowed Penn backs to sir through when the ball was between two 20-yard lines, but once the goa was threatened. it frightened and thrice turned back the Quakers when they were almost treading on the goal line Twice the Red and Blue was as clOst as the yard mark, only to lose the ball on downs In the third quarter with the oval Oh the 10-yard line, Jc’ Straus plunged through for nine yards but then was stopped fat on his EEK three tries. Joe Straus Makes Good Here a word about Straus would b, apropos. The Texan began his frs game of the season and put up a grea exhibition. He showed all the tierccnes in his drives which made him q sta two years ago. 1t was nothing to Sc, himlpunch the first defense for five ant ten yards at crack and on the de fense he showed better than ever. The Red and Blue ended the seasol with six victories. two defeats and on tie. The year will be considered a sue cess in football way because Cornell was beaten and Pittsburgh tied, but / did not contain the glory that 1t wa Lol;nuaI n would (rHmpg were los to Dartmouth and State, and those de feats took most of the eclat. Financially Penn never has had better season. 1t has been estimates that close to 10000 persons have seel
