In 1 Pfann, captain of the Big Red team, getting away for a long end run. PITT BOWLS OVER NITTANY LION IN GRID UPSET, 20 TO IN ONE of the bitterest and hardest fought gridiron battles ever waged in old father Penn's terrain, the big Orange and Blue colored aggregation of Lincoln College fought Lewis Watson's Howard University of Washington warriors to a G-to-B standstill at the Philadelphia BaU Park yesterday afternoon. More than twenty thousand colored rooters, who came from nil sections, stormed the gates of the Baker Park, besides filling very seat. Many were forced to brave through the sensational sixty-minute; battle by embarking along the sidelines of the gridiron.

The Floward representatives were right off on the heels of their ancient rivals from the sound of the initial whistle. After carrying the pigskin down to the Lincoln rif teen-yard line within the first ten ninutes of the fracas, the Washington athletes failed to gain another yard, and Lincoln took the ball on downs. Doneghy caught a poor punt from the deadly toe of Crudup when Lincoln was forced to kick, and it was only a fifteen-yard boot. The increditible kick resulted from a bad pass from centre. The elert half-back received the ball on the enemies' thirty-yard line, and, fighting his way through the husky, tacklers, he managed to bring the rla.T within eleven yards of the goal line.

Then by virtue of a beautiful short-line pass, Doneghy to Iong, Howard daced the' ball on Lincoln's four-yard ine. The flashy half-back then followed with two stiff line plunges off tackle which was enough to hang up the first six-point score of the afternoon. Doneghy was unable to hold up his wonderful play at this point, when he missed the dropkick for the extra point after the touchdown. There was but a minute left to play, after Howard tallied her touchdown and before they were able to start play the whistle- sounded. Now the Lincoln footballers were driven desperate by the spectre defeat, and before the Blue and White aggregation knew what it was all about, Lincoln crossed their goal line tieing the count at 0-0.

It took just two minutes to score the touchdown. It happened like a streak of lightning Byrd, the ouarter-back flash, took Doneghy's fifty-yard kick-off on his own rive-yard line and dashed through flocks of tacklers criss-crossing the field. With Teyton, the flying tackier, hanging on to his shoulder for ten yards, he was not able to down the old reliable Byrd until the eleven-yard line, which gave him an 8o-yard run. On the two plays following that sensational dash for victory, Byrd went through for his teammates' score, making the ground, on a pair of off tackle bucks. Crudup Also failed at the critical moment, his toe sending the pigskin wide of the nnrights.

Yesterday's battle marked the twentieth meeting between, the two rival aggregations, the Linco'n L'ni-versity romping off with nine clean-cut victories the Howard University copping five, the number of ties reached six. Last jear the pigskin warriors of Lincoln nosed out the Howard scrappers by a lone point. The teams battled at the Washington American ball park. Washington.

R. Nov. 20.

TIE Brown University football with almost the name line-iiip that defeated Harvard no decisively, fell in defeat before the onslaught of the powerful Lehigh eleven here today. The score was 12 to C. lioth teams were somewhat handicapped by the soggy field, left in that condition by recent rains. Overhead, good football weather prevailed and it attracted the largest crowd of the season. Brown was superior in the first half and in that half only.

With the opening of the second half, Lehigh from the start showed supremacy in all parts of the game, and while blocking every Brunonian effort to score, put over two touchdowns. The Brunonians capitalized their short period of superiority to the extent of one touchdown. Stifler carrying the ball over the goal for Brown's only tally and the first one of the game, after receiving a long forward pass from Swaney. Just before throwing the pass which proved so successful, Kwanev, from the Lehigh 4o-yard line had attempted a drop kick. The luck was accurately aimed, but fell short of its mark.

After their rest between halves, the Lehigh men looked like' a new team. Burke, fleet-footed right end, received the and before he was stopped hv Myers he had advanced to the Brown 43-yard line. Marching steadily, the invaders took the ball to the Irunonian 13-yard line, where they were held for downs. Brown, after taking possess-sion of the bull, punted on the firft play. Lehigh regaining the pigskin at midfield.

On a second march they were successful in crossing the Bears' goal. Again Lehigh received the kick-iff, and did not relinquish the ball until the winning touchdown had been scored. In the 70-yard march to the second tally. Storer, Stephens and tlreer. in the Lehieh backfield.

Instead he flipped the oval up to Thomas as the latter came tearing outside of end. Both passes were executed with precision, Stephens so throwing the ball to Thomas that the pigskin settled in the runner's arms without the slightest loss of momentum to the receiver. Down the field Thomas tore, and for one grand and glorious second it seemed that it would get away clean. But on the Cornell's 10-yard line the ever present Pfann nailed the Penn back, and brought the scamper to an end. Penn went after that touchdown with determination.

After one shot at the line had been flattened, McGraw cut loose a couple of forward passes, both of which grazed the fingers of eligible men, but slipped away and the ball was grounded. So it happened that Cornell finally took the ball on downs just as the half came to an end. Penn had one other splendid oppor tunity to score, and it came on the third nlay of "the fourth period. Cor nell, after a sustained advance of fifty yards, had possession of the ball on the Quakers' 19-yard line. Patterson, on a drive at tackle, tumDied, ana tne oval bounded free almost at the feet of Sorenson.

With a sweep he gathered the ball in bis arms, and before him stretched a gridiron free of tacklers all the way to Cornell's goal line. Breathlessly, the multitude saw him 6tart his journey, but then came a groan of disappointment as he slipped in trying to gather headway too quickly, and fell inglori-ously to the turf. Before he could get up and start again three Cornell men had nailed him. An Afternoon of "Ifs" From beginning to end, it was a contest of "ifs." Had some one thought to cover Pfann on that Cornell forward pass in the first period, Penn would probably have been celebrating a tie game today. If the guilty Quaker back who interfered illegally with Pfann when the latter tried to catch that forward pass on the six-yard line, had batted the ball down instead.

Cornell would not have achieved that second touchdown, and the score would have been 7 to t. If Sorenson had not slipped to the ground after recovering Cornell fum ble early in the fourth quarter, he would probably have gotten away clean and run for a touchdown, and the ulti mate count would have been knotted at 14 to 14. If the Quakers, individually and collectively, had failed to rise to sublime heights on the two occasions they stopped the enemy and took the ball on downs within Penn's ten-yard line, the game would undoubtedly have developed into a rout, and ('ornell would have won by four or five touchdowns. It was a great game, one of the most sensational in three decades of C'ornell-Penn football rivalry, and it was played before the biggest, and one of the most colorful crowds ever assembled to witness a sporting event in this city. The fortunate ones who found a place within the stadium will never forget the Cornell-Penn game of 15)23, nor will they soon cease to speak of the magnificent resistant- a comparatively weak Quaker teaif offered a iowerfiil Cornell machine.

Pitt's offense got started as the quarter ended and in a few minutes of the second period Flanagan and Bohren alternating receiving and throwing forward passes carried the ball oyer. Flanagan carrying the ball fifteen yards on the last play. Bohren's long run accounted for the second score and. came after a break had favored State and gave the visitors the ball in Fitt territory. A blocked punt accounted for the third score and another touchdown was choked off when Captain Bedenk intercepted a Pitt pass on his own 6-yard line.

He carried the ball out twenty yards. Coach Warner was given a diamond pin just before the game started and a tremendous, ovation from the crowd as he walked off the field after the presentation. Bohren's jjreat playing recompensed the crowd for Wilson's failure to shine and the work of Flanagan was a thing of beauty. In fact, the whole Pitt team played as though possessed. Koppisch was hurt late in this period and did not play the second half of the game.

The second Columbia feature came at the opening of the third period, when Pease, its quarter-back, receiving the kickoff on Columbia's three-yard line, raced 83 yards to Dartmouth's 14-vard mark before he was overhauled by Bjorkman. Bjorkman, two plays later, intercepted a Columbia lateral pass, and the Green soon booted the ball out of danger. An attempted field goal by Aschenback from Columbia's 47-yard line the only threat of a score in this period. The fourth period found the Green opening up a powerful attack, featured with an off-tackle sweep, and a floating lateral pass just behind the line of scrimmage. Eleven plays carried the ball 56 yards and ended with Haws scoring a touchdown.

Another march of 59 yards, interrupted temporarily by a blocked kick, ended with a touchdown scored by Hall, and shortly before the game ended, Bolles, who had substituted for Haws, crabbed a Columbia pass and raced vnrds to Dartmouth's final touch down.

Time of periods 15 'jiK- if! cy BY PERRY long forward passes, thrown by Patterson to Pfann, each one re-f-ulting in a touchdown, r-ent at 1ho hands of Cornell yesterday on a I'lankliii Field janued by spectators. The score was 14 to 7. The Ithacans j-rnred a touchdown in the first period, nd added a second early in the fourth cjuarter. In the waning moments of the same Ihe aroused Quakers hauuuerea their way over the enemy goal line, t.hus achieving their first score against -ornell in throe years. All of the goals sfter touchdowns were kicked.

In nil the Ions history of lenn-Cor-oell Thanksgiving Day football, no more tpectacular struggle was. ever waged than that which yesterday thrilled the biggest, crowd in the history of sport in Philadelphia. Penn was beaten, but the Quakers vere greater in defeat than they have been in any one of their victories this year. Hurling themselves against an unbeaten foe rated as a championship possibility generally nominated by rv'ery one to be slaughtered to" make a Cornell holiday the lied and Wua warriors literally fought the powerful enemy to a standstill, and would actually have furnished the greatest of all football upsets, by emerging triumphant had it not been for those two forward passes mentioned above. Penn May Give Thanks Make no mistake about it, followers of Penn football had much to be thankful for when they seated themselves at the festive board to talk it all over.

Their champions had made an epic fight, had presented what will probably be recognized as the most notable tingle plav of the year, had twice rolled back the famous Cornell machine and taken the ball on downs beneath the shadow of their own goal post, had hammered out one touchdown by straight football in short, had presented as brave a front as any fighting team in football history. Cornell came to Franklin Field acclaimed one of the wonder teams of the vear, and made good. The marvelous Pfann. the great Itamsey, the line punishing Cassidy and the slippery Patterson four youths svho combine to make one of the most formidable ba-ktields ihat ever came thundering down from the banks of Lake Cayuga to hurl itself at a Penn team, were among those present and active. At times the embattled Quakers gave way before thi powerful quartette, but iust so far ami no farther would they permit the enemy to advance.

"When the Red and Blue warriors felt the wall at their barks, thy look a toe bold and brought the much-feared Dobie juuggernaut to a. complete stop. Early in the game the Ithacans hammered through from their own 41-vard line, to within eight yards of l'enn's coal line. Hre the Quakers, who had been tossed i. round in an alarming way during that advance, suddenly stood as firm as Gibraltar.

Patterson. Itamsey, Tfann and then Ilamsey again, avalanched tipon the men of Pennsylvania, only to come to an abrupt stop. Thus Penn took the ball on downs. The First Disaster The ball was promptly punted out of danger, but the pity of it all is that disaster followed close on the" heels this notable and inspiring performance. Having tried Perm's defense against a running atraek and found it adequate, 'ornell promptly attacked on another front.

On the first play following MrG raw's l.ieU. Patterson fell baek to throw a ferward pass. Pfann broke straight through centre, but the other two backs and ends raced over to the right. l'enn's secondary defense fell into the trap, and covered every man eligible to receive the pass, with the single exception of I'fanu. The latter, having slipped through a hole at centre, tore straight down the field.

As Pfann reached l'cnn'n 5-yard line Patterson hurled the ball from midfield, and the runner caught it without losing his stride. There was no particular reason why the distinguished Cornell quarter-back phoulii have hurried himself, however. The Quakers had been so completely crossed that there wasn't a man within ten vards of Pfann when he made the cateh, and he was over the goal line before the victims realized what it was all about. The score had come with such startling suddenness that the cheers from the Corned stand which greeted it bleuded with the vocal salutation still under way for l'enn's great stand on tae eight-yard line. P.ut as sjundstrom added the extra point with a neat placement kick a bush fell upon tlie thousands of Penn rooters in that wall of humanity.

They had passed from sublime heights to dismal depths between breaths. One moment they were thrilled with the wonder of an awakened Penn team to whom nothing was impossible; the next they were overwhelmed with despair at the ease with which Cornell had put over seven points. Another Inspiring Stand T.ou Young's courageous fighters were not ready to raise the pallid pen-inn! dmplv because the enemy had M.ncd a touchdown with such consummate ease, however. They renewed the iving away a bit here and there, but alwavn flattening an alien advance when it became dangerous. In the middle bt the second period rnme lVm's second great Thermo-nolaeian stand, and no feat ever performed a Quaker team -ever furnished it) re nourishment to the souls of men.

forward pass from Patterson to rt'ann was good for twenty-two yards and placed the oal on l'enn's mnc-vard line. On the first play, Ramsey cut a yard, but a Quaker was off Bide. The five-vard penalty placed the bail on the Red and Illue's four-yard line, and gave the Ithacans a first down. Only four yards to gain and four chances to gain.it! Patterson, then Pfann tried, only to be flattened with the gain of a s.ant yard. Now Patterson tried agaio, and this time managed to gain the few feet necessary to place the.

pigskin on the one-yard Cornell relied upon Ramsey to crash through for that sore. but that human battering ram would have stopped with no more suddenness had he collided with a stone wall.

This placed the pigskin on the Red and Blue's 20-yard line. This far and no further, was Penn's message to Cornell, and when Ramsey tore into the line, he was dropped in his tracks.

Cornell had experienced Penn's adamant defense when pressed back thus far on several previous occasions, and no further attempt wa-s made to run the ball. Instead, Patterson dropped back and threw another pass. It was the same play which had so deceived Penn in the first period, but this time the Quakers were alert. A defensive back and Pfann were under the pass on the Quakers' six-yard line. Ffann tried to spear the oval, but it got away from him and was grounded.

Referee Thorpe ruled; however, that there had been illegal interference and that it must be considered a completed pass. Thus Cornell was given possession of the ball on Penn's six-yard line, and before the Quakers could steady themselves, Pfann had torn through for the touchdown on his first attempt. Now did gloom descend over the Penn stands as Cornell celebrated for second time. With Penn losing to a marvelous Cornell team by the margin a single touchdown, the defeat could be entered in Quaker football history as a moral -victory. But a two-touehdown reverse was something else again.

Since Cornell had scored in the first period, the Quakers had been struggling manfully for a single touchdown and there were times when it seemed that they would get it but now, with the enemy leading. 14 to 0, their cause seemed lost beyond redemption. The Glory of a Season About eight minutes remained of that game, but In those eight minutes was crowded all the glory of a football season Following the kickoff, Cornell inaugerated an offensive from its own 34-yard -line. On the second play Patterson shot outside of tackle, and was nailed viciously by two tacklers. The ball flew from the runner's hands and bounded free of the struggling players.

McGraw came in like a streak and gathered the pigskin up in his arms as he ran. Bearing over toward the north side line and running with the speed of a. deer. McGraw escaped two tacklers. The stands were alive with yelling, shrieking humanity, 40.000 throats tried speed the scampering Quaker and bear him safely past two tacklers who bore down on him like hawks.

It was all in vain. McGraw must now turn in or step out of bounds, and as he swerved two Ithacans hit him, and he hit Mother Earth on Cornell's 2(5-yard line. But Penn waa not through. Soren-sen. a Montana youth, had replaced Wittmer, whom the latter was injured, and the substitute's big moment was at hand.

Once, twice, thrice, he shot into the burly Cornell line, and lo, he had reeled off a 'first down the second Penn had enared with a running attack alone. Again and again this same Sorenson dove into that human wall before him, and each time it gave until another first down had been won, and the oval placed on the enemy one-yard line. Sorenson renewed his attack on the Ithaca forwards, and for the eighth straight time carried the ball. But his work was done. Flesh and bone has its limitations, and this time, Sorenson was flattened without gain.

The Cornell team was in a panic. Every man of them saw only one opponent, Sorenson, and small wonder after the things he had done to them. Dern did not call upon his ace again. Instead he signalled for Thomas to carry the ball over, and Thomas made job of the thing. Shooting through small opening outside Cornell's right tackle, he catapulted himself over the line and Penn had scored on Cornell for the first time in three years.

No great victory was ever acclaimed as was that touchdown. The Penn stands went wild and why not? Now there was no danger of the Red and Blue suffering a disgraceful defeat. The gladiators of Franklin Pield had acquitted themselves well. They had pounded out a touchdown with straight football, something that Cornell had not been able to do, and those seven points were sufficient balm to ease the pain of a l4 to 7 reverse at the hands of such a Cornell team as this one. There was even a chance that Penn might score another touchdown.

Such things have happened. With only three minutes to go, the one idea of the Quakers was to possession of the ball and cut loose a series of desperate forward passes. And they lost no time. Following the kick-off they held and forced the enemy to punt. Starting from their own 3i)-yard line, the Quakers uncorked their first forward with McGraw throwing and Thomas receiving.

It went through perfectly for a gain of nine yards. Again McGraw thr.w- an aerial, but this time that amazing Ithaca back. Pfann, swept in and intercepted the leather on his own 37-yard line. This was the end and everybody knew it. Cornell had just enough time to try one line play when the whistle ended hostilities.

Penn's Greatest Play Little more remains to be told of this sensational feast of bristling football Cornell and Penn jtrovided for Philadelphia's Thanksgiving. Mention was made above of a Penn play which must be recognized as one of the smoothest and most unique of the year. It came late in the first half, and almost resulted in a touchdown. The Red and Blue had possession of the ball at mid-field when elected to spring the thing following a long pow-pow. McGraw fell back, as though for a kick, but instead the "ball was passed PITTSBURGH, Nov.

For three periods, at the end of which the score stood 10 to 6 in Dartmouth's favor, the Green team dallied, but in the fourth and final session of play it came to life with a vim, piling up, in rapid succession, three touchdowns and the resultant goals. Never, from the opening play until the final whistle sounded, did the assembled throng of S0.000 doubt which was the better team, but there were defensive and offensive flashes made by Columbia in the early periods of play which caused Dartmouth supporters considerable annoyance.

Twice in the opening session Haugh-ton's men took the ball on downs after the Green had worked it well into Columbia territory. The third Dartmouth assault, however, proved un-stopable, and in six plays Dartmouth traveled thirty-eignt yards and shot "Bed" Hall through the Columbia left tackle for the first touchdown, which was followed by Les Haws' point, Columbia's first offensive flash came early in the second period, when after the Blue and White had registered a first down on Dartmouth's 39-yard stripe, Walter Koppisch. The Columbia captain, sliced between 01erlander and Diehl. then reversed his field and sped to the goal line for what proved Columbia's only score, Ilagenbuckle and Bjorkman blocked the trv for point. liate in this period.
