  Indians Scored 6 Against Co. Iumbia Teams II $4,000 Ar THE U. OF ?. GAME Chicago Defeated Michigan by a Score Of II 10 6, While Lehigh Shut SWarihmOrC Out Philadelphia, Nov. 30--Bofore what was probably the largest crowd that ever attended u Thanksgiving Day football game In this city. $4,000, the University Of Pennsylvania team yes terday defeated the Cornell eleven by the one-sidcd score OF q to 0. Only once during the entire contest was the Quaker goal line in danger of being crossed by an Ithaca player. and dur ing most of the time the ball was in Cornells territory. Pennsylvania won the battle by straight, hard football The Cornell men played fercely at times, but no matter how hard they tried old Penn could not be halted on her march to victory. The Quakers main play was their famous guards back formation, which they worked like q machine Soon after the game began it became apparent that the players OF both teams were all not I’m that prime condition which is generally expected in big games. Capt. Starbuck, who had just recovered from injuries, was forced TO leave the field soon after play was started. Captain Hare also showed signs Of lack Of condition. and. al though he did not leave his team. he frequently was laid out True. he put up his usual hard aggressive game. but he failed to shine as brilliantly as he has heretofore. Il was his last game as p Pennsylvania player. and Il was expected he would put up the greatest football OF his brilliant ca reer. McCracken, who has shined both as star guard and fullback for the past four years. and who lined up for the last time yesterday on the Quaker team, also had to quit the game because Of injuries he sustained to his lame shoulder Nearly all the spec tators in the four crowded stands rose and cheered him as he was dragged from the gridiron. With one or two other exceptions the players of the two teams came out Of the game not much the worse for wear. The Pennsylvania team. before dis banding last night. elected Charles E. Wallace, Jr., captain for next year.
