Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-The Bucknell university football eleven to-day played the University of Pennsylvania team and startled the football world by twice scoring on Old Penn. The score was 47 to 10. The kicking of Mathewson, full back for Bucknell, was the finest seen here in long time. His teams score was made by his kicking two goals from the field. His long punts almost rivalled those of Brooke Pennsylvania’s famous full-back, and his goal kicking was not unlike that of Yale’s one time star Billy Bull.
