November IT, The University Of Pennsylvania football eleven to-day defeated the Cornell tearn by score OF II to II. The Ithacans kick ed a goal from placement and scored a touchdown from which goal resulted. In the first half. while Pennsylvania scored two touchdowns and kicked two goals In the second half. Never has a more In. tensely exciting and uncertain contest been witnessed on Franklin field. Until the final blast Of the referees whistle announced the cessation Of hos. tilities, there was a painful uncertainty in the hearts of the Pennsylvania sup sporters. Cornell had thrice carried the ball dangerously near Pennsylvania’f goal. and once carried It over. Another touch. or an opportunity fcr a second goal from placement would probably have meant defeat for the local eleven. But as the time drew near for the close OF the contest, Pennsylvania’s play became nora fierce. while that of Cornell grew correspondingly weak. and the game ended with the ball In Cornelrs possession on her 25-yard lire. There was scarcely a moment during the seventy minutes struggle that there was not something occurring. Spectacular runs, sensa tional tackles and terrific line pllnges came with such frequency that the spectators were kept almost continuously bobbing up and down In their seats. Both teams played brilliantly. PeEnsy1vania’s offence was superior to that Of Cornell. and her defence. particularly within ten minutes of the close OF the game. never has been excelled by Pennsylvania eleven.
