  coRNELL’s DECISIVE VICTORY. Pennsylvania Unable to Hold the Ithacans at Any Stage of Game. Philadelphia, Nov. 2S.-The University of Pennsylvania football team ended its disastrous season today with a crushing defeat at tfe hands of the Cornell elev- en, the Ithaca boys scoring 24 points to the Quakers G. It was the first time since the two universities have played football together that Cornell has been eble to conquer Pennsylvania. All through the contest the red and blue players fought their opponents every inch Of the way, but the doughty boys from New York were superior to them in department of the game except in punt ing. No matter how hard the Pennsyl- vanians tried Cornell was always there to meet them. Cornelrs offense was powerful. It seemed little difference where they tried-through the center against the tackles or around the ends Pennsylvania was able to hold them not more than half dozen times notable feature of Cornelrs attack was the fine interference for the runner in open plays Two of her touchdowns were made solely through the good help given the man with the ball. On the defense Cornell was like a stone wall. It was near the end of the first half before Pennsylvania was able to make first down, and the total made was 10. Coach Woodruff s latest football creation, “Whirligig,” had no terrors for Cornell and 1t was effec- tually stopped every time it was tried. Twenty thousand persons saw the game.
