DRAKE'S DRAKE WAS ALONE APPRECIATIVE Scenes at the Stadium Unlike the Usual Fetes of Color at Thanksgiving Football Games Attendance Small, Long before the two teams appeareo on the field, the lew hundred hardy football enthusiasts of the city to whom weather or fate makes no difference when the game is on, began to straggle into the Stadium. Sombre umbrellas and mud splashed boots were more conspicuous than college colors yesteraay. The seats tilled slowly, and by the time the game was called scarcely more than a half thousand tickets had passed through the gate office.

Not only on the Held, but along the sidelines and even upon the stone aniphitneaters, mud and water had formed in pools. Not a dry scat could be found in the entire Stadium, and everyone stood, shifting back and forth and viewing the game from beneath dripping umbrellas. Hut lew women were present. With the first body of Drake 'rooters, a handful of women students, trailing forlorn and dripping colors behind them, appeared at tiie west gate. They found a place of vantage near the side lines and hui'dltd together for encouragement, while the cold rain soaked through their gala day clothing and converted their ribbons and pennants into bedraggled and limp streamers of mud.

A short distance to the north, the Ames rooters, accompanied by their band, took up their station and cheered their team on with voices that were much befogged by the dampness of the atmosphere. The absence of organized cheering was noticeable, although the small crowd did not lack In enthusiasm. It was a gloomy day and the rooters were as greatly handicapped by the weather as were the players, but they did their best. Only once did college spirit manifest itself in a natural degree. It was between the halves after the two teams had run off the fl-ld with the honors evenly divided.

Then the Ames band descended to the cinder track a ring of water and waded around the gridiron, quicktime, and playing upon instruments that gurgled with the water which had fallen into upturned funnels. The Drake band, not to be out done, at onre followed the example of Its opponents, and with a band of rooters straggling alon-4 in the rear, splashed halfway around the trark and back again. The single living thing In the Stadium that actually enjoyed the weather and mud, was Drake's mascot, a sturdy white duck, driven with a pair of ribbons by a substitute player. With his head held high and his eye cocked at the wetness with appreciation, the contented foul web footed his way about the field, splashing In the muddy water and quacking forth his exuberance. It was a happy bird that Drake drske.

AMES WINS FIERCE GAME IN THE MUD CONTINUED FROM PACE 1. game under the worst kind of kicking conditions. What the result would have been had the field been in good shape can only be guessed nt and any gWss Is of necessity a wild one. Both sides claim the score would have been different hid the field been good anil at Drake there is a feeling that the blue ami white would at least have scored had Taylor had a footing to get his kicks away from. Fierce But Clean.

The game was fierce throughout but generally clean. Neither team expected to -lie handled with gloves and the expectations were fulfilled and there was but one ca.se of intentional roughness that was noticed by the officials or spectators. That was early in the game when a Drake and Ames man mixed and the latter struck out with his ttst. The play was in a lively serlmmage In the mud and few save the officials saw the foul, but the offender was promptly sent to the side lines and a called for. This prompt work upon the part of Referee Smith had a wholesome effect upon the playing of both teams.

Drake claims that, under rule 22, section the referee should have given Drake a half the distance to the Ames goal. Drake was holding at the time the foul was called on Ames and the Drake contention is that the penalty for "slugging'' should have been given and the Drake 15-yard penalty for holding should then have been subtracted. Both teanw, coaches and spectators were entirely satisfied with the officials, who worked under the greatest disadvantage because of the condition of the tield. HOW THE GAME WAS PLAYED. Story of the Battle in the Mud and Rain.

The Ames team was on the field early. Ristine, in rubber boots, directing a mud practice. The Drake squad, headed by the white duck, appeared at 2:28 o'clock and the little body of faithful rooters soaking on the west stand gave a yell. The coin was tossed at 2:37 o'clock. Captain Taylor of Drake winning, chose to receive the ball at the south goal.

Reppert tore through for a first down, but the crimson and gold was penalized fifteen vards.

PLAY SENSATIONAL FINISH ITHIOAN HUGS THE BALL A FOOT SHORT 0.F VICTORY. Red and Blue Struggle Hard Against Defeat and Whistle Saves Them From Losing Contest. PHILADELPHIA, Pa Nov. the ball within one yard of the home team's goal line, the annual game between the Pennsylvania and Cornell football eleven, on Franklin field today, came to an end without either siue be.i.g aiue to score. The finish of the contest with Pennsylvania fighting desperately to ward off defeat was as sensational a piece of football play as has been seen on the red and blue gridiron in a long time.

Cornell twice had the ball In those last few minutes within one yard of Pennsylvania's line and victory appeared to be certain. nut the Philadelphia men held each me by a defense that was as solid as it was sensational. There was but a few minutes of time left when Hollenback. for Pennsylvania, kicked against the wind to the home teams forty-live yard line, where a ornell man got the bail. Two line plays and a ouartcrback kick put the ball on Pennsylvania's fifteen vard line slid in Cornell's possession.

Here the Ithacans tried a forward pass. Hollrn-lck intercepted the pass, but was unable to hold the ball, and Van Orman for Cornell fdl on it seven yurds from Pennsyl vania's goal. Two plays against the tackles and Cornell was on the one yard line. It seemed as if nothing could stop her, but on the next pilings into the line the Pennsylvania men held and Cornell dropped In her tracks. It was then Penn-cylvanla's ball on downs.

With great relief the Pennsylvania sympathizers let out a great roar at the stand made by the home players, which was ouickly changed to a cry of alarm when Pennsylvania decided not to take a chance to carry the ball with it practically on her goal and Rollenback was sent far back of the goal lo kick out. He was directly behind the cross bar and in order to avoid It kicked on one side. lhe punt was bad and, aided by the stiff wind, which was blowly diagonally across the field in the face of the Pennsylvania players, the ball went out of bounds about two yards from the goal line. Desperate at Finish, With the hall In her possession, two yards from Pennsylvania's goal line victory looked certain this time for Cornell. The Ithicans made a yard on the first, and the second plunge Into the Pennsylvania line failed to gain.

The ball was then on the Quaker's one yard line. Cornell had one more try remain-and only a few seconds left In which to do it. Gardiner here was sent In to take Jamison's place at quarterback for Cornell. Pennsylvania was In tne last ditch and desperate. As the Cornell men got into position the Pennsylvanlans crouched low and there was a deathlike silence In the stands.

The signul was given, the teams crushed against one another and half of Cornell's players on top of the struggling mass of men spilled over Pennsylvania's goal line. As the teams played into each other the time keeper's whistle announced the end of the game. Every one believed Cornell had won, hut when Referee Corbln and Umpire Edwards had hnally separated the struggling players and got to the bottom of the pile, they found a Cornell man hugging the ball a foot short of the line of victory. Cornell's spirit, fell and the enthusiasm of the Pennsylvania spectators knew no bounds. Outside of the desperate finish the game did not afford either side much opportunity for cheering, in the first half Pennsylvania got tiie ball to Cornell's ten yard line where she lost It on a r'umhln and the Ithicans once had it twenty yards from Pennsylvania's goal hut also lost the ball on a similar miaplay.

Cornell Gains Strength. In the first half Pennsylvania gained almost twice as much ground as her opponents, but in the second half playing was entirely in Pennsylvania territory. This was principally due to Walder's good kicking who took every advantage of the stiff wind at h'S back. Cornell's ability to rush the ball increased wonderfully In the second half and her rushes Invariably gained her substantial ground until Pennsylvania stuck like a stone at the very gate of victory. Cornell's halfbacks, Karle and Gibson, played a grand game as did also Walder, Levene and Scarlett.

Pennsylvania's ends were all over the field and Greene and Hollenback put up their usual star game In carrying the ball. Pennsylvania went through the contest without changing a man while Cornell made only two substitutions. The lineup: PENNSYLVANIA fORNELU. Levene Draper E. Babcock 67."
