  FIERCE FOOT BALL FIGHTS. Pennsylvania Wins From Cornell by a Score Of 8 10 0. Guakers in the Game With Princeton Not in Line Yesterday-A Good Game Put Up by the Cornell Men, but Their Chance of Winning Never Very Bright-The Game Played in Drizzle Before 8, 900 Spectators. Philadelphia, Nov. 17-On a field that was slippery as a sheet Of ice and as treacherous as a quagmire, with a hard rain this morning, Pennsylvania beat Cor nell this afternoon by a score of to 0. in one of the best played games of foot ball ever seen in this city The Ithacans played magnificent game, and if their aggressive strength had been equal to their defensive play, Pennsylvania might have come off the vanquished instead of the victor. Two halves of thirty-five minutes were played. In the first half neither side scored, and 1t was only after twenty eight minutes play in the second half that Pennsylvania succeeded in making touchdown, from which a goal was kicked. In the first half Cornell carried the ball to Pennsylvania fifteen yard line, and lost 1t for holding. Brooke then kicked the pig-skin out of danger and the Ithacans lost their chance of scoring, as Pennsylvania’s goal was never again so nearly approached by the wearers of the red and white during the balance of the game. ] In the first half Cornell frequently not he I.If thirty-yard line, but for some reason OIL did not attempt any goals from the field. Throughout the entire game Cornell played with a snap and earnestness that gave the Quallers all they could do to hold them in check, and the Pennsylvamans played good game, but they lacked the fierce, feverish energy that carried them to victory through Princtons line. They certainly failed to carry the ball forward with the resistless rush they showed a week ago The famous interference play that burst through Prince toms line again and again was met gal lantly by Cornell and in most instances was of but little service. Both teams played an open game with plenty of kicking and running around the ends. In this style of play. Pennsylvania was superior to Cornell and most of the Quakers” gains were made around the ends by Osgood and Colbert OhPs punt ing was disappointment to the spectators at times he kicked well, but frequently his punts were so feeble that they only carried the ball 20 or 30 yards, and after Pennsylvanla’s forwards broke through and blocked a kick for him Brooke showed up in his usual fine form and his kicking was one of the features of the game. In addition he made Penn sylvania’s touchdown and kicked the goal Oil played a star game for Cornell aside Il ga ~a..Irsw H. large gains for Cornell, and he carried the ball well around the ends. DYER and Morgan showed up strong in line buck ing, but made few gains around the ends All the Cornell forwards played well and the ends outplayed those of Penn sylvania. The fall off in Pennsylvania’s play from the Princeton game may be fully accounted for by the absence at half back of Can’t Knipe, and left tackle Wagonhurst in the line. Both men are suffering from in juries to their legs received I’m the Prince ton game, and it was thought best that they should save themselves for the Harvard game. The absence of these two players shifted all the men about Colbert went from left end to half back. Upton took his place at end and Farrar played tackle in place of Wagonhurst The day was most inauspicious for the game. All the morning II rained hard as o’clock approached the time for cali ing the game, the rain sackened and only a fine drizzle was falling Great preparations had been made for the game by Pennsylvania. Two enornous stands, capable of seating 1000 people had been erected on the University athletic field, and If the day had been fair there would have probably been that many people present. AS it was there was 900 people present Many of these were Ia. dies. Before the players appeared the cross country run teams Of Cornell and Pennsylvania started from before the grand stand for their race, and as thew returned before the game began with Pennsylvania the victor, the followers Of the red and blue set themselves loose and cheered for some minutes The foot ball teams appeared on the field about the same time and were loudly cheered. Alexander Moffatt of Princeton was chosen umpire. Paul Dashiel Of Lehigb referee, and Marshall Newell Of Harvard CornelPs coach, was linesman. Pennsylvania won the toss and chose the left goal, with a slight wind in their favor. Cornell was given the ball. and at 2:30 o’clock Ohl kicked Off the ball going to Pennsylvania five yard line. Brooke returned the ball to the center Of the field. Cofneil az once began a Uerce onslaught on Pennsylvania line. To the SUNRISE Of the spectators OIL, Dyer ana Mason found big holes in the Quakers’ line. and especially on the right side, which was supposed to be the strongest Cornell used mass play something like Pennsylvania’s tandem play. The tackle would be brought back OF the line and when the ball was put in play, the Cor nell tackle, closely followed by two Of the back men, would rush at the on posing tackle and tossing him aside make a hole for the man following with the ball TO get through. This play was used by Cornell with deadly effect In the first five minutes OF play and they car ried the ball forward with n rush once Ohl broke down through PennsylvaTia’s line, and had passed every man but Brooke. OH ran IS yards. when the red headed Pennsylvania back tackled him and brought him down. BY plunges through the line, OH, Dyer and Mason carried the ball 10 Pennsylvania l5-yard line, and the Cornell following In the crowd went wild. a stupeded silence reigncd among tho adherents Of Penn sylvania. IL looked as II Cornell was going 10 carry the ball IN one grand rush over Pennsylvania line. on tho l5-ynrd line Cornell loet the bali for holding. and

  CORNELL DIDN’T SCORE. Pennsylvania Managed to Win the Game by Only Six Points. by Only Six Points. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. I7.-To-uay’s match between Pennsylvania and Cornell was won by the former by a single touchdown and goal to nothing. A worse day for football could not have been found. All morning the rain came down in torrents. and the field before play was covered in spots with water and was very soggy. Football players pay no at tention to weather conditions. however, and one of the hardest contests ever witnessed on the grounds took place here to-day. Neither side scored in the first half Cor nell started of with a rush and by good runs of Obi and Dyer. through Pennsylvauia’s tackles, carried the bali to the red and blues twenty-yard line. This was the closest, how ever, they ever got to the coveted goal For about twelve minutes they kept the ball in PennsylYanias territory, but after that the superior strength and skill of the Quakers began to tell, and it was carried steadily and surely toward the Cornell mark But. Try as she did. Pennsylvania could not get it over the half. In the second half Pennsylvania. by sharp runs Of Osgood around the ends. Geabert and Brooke through the center and tackles. sue ceeded in taking the ball after about fifteen minutes play to Cornel’s five-yard line. Here GelaDert was given the plgskln and behind good interference started for the right end and touched It down safely behind the goal posts. A wild shout went up from the Quaker adherents, but it changed to deep groans when Umpire Paul Dashiel refused TO allow the touchdown and gave Cornell the bail on her ten-yard line. There was much comment in regard to it. but the matter was soon forgotten. as in ten minutes afterYard the bali was again worked HaHI I I.G,s 4,T-. Brooke The goal was an easy one and six points were scored on the Pennsylvania notch stick beside the solitary goose egg of Cor neI’s. The teams lined up as follows:
