Without the semblance of a fluke the Brown tTnlversl-ty football team defeated Pennsylvania this afternoon by the score of 0 to a Although the winning touchdown was not scored vntll the fourth period, there was hardly a minute In which' the Philadelphia team was not outplayed by the New Knglanders. Not once durinjr the entire contest did the Quakers) menace the Brown IgoaL 'while the Providence team was always carrying the flsht to the Pennsylvanlana'. The fourth period was only fire rnlnutes old when Brown had vania's line. Just before the third period ended Brown had taken the ball to Pennsylvania's, one-yard line through a succession of1 clever forward passes and end runs- With only a yara IUIIS.

J. Special to Tktsra TimtsA ITHACA. N. 21-CornelI beat Washington and Jefferson this afternoon by the score of 0 to 0, but It was hard to see where the Ithacans had mad much improvement as the result of the week's train-ng and practice. Penalties aggregating 7u yards, some of them directly responsible for the loss of touchdowns; over, running of kicks, weak playing byj Krog-stad In the first half, and stupid mixing up of signals marred Cornell's playing, and the team came nowhere near doing, Itself Jv.stlce: Barring some good gains around Krogstad, And occasionally around Champaign and mad dash for a touchdown was only thwarted on the 2-yard line.

The visitors were not dangerous, and in the second half they wilted and hobbled before Cornell's pounding. The Ithacana. however, seemed Impotent to grasp this opportunity properly. After Butler had kicked a field goal from the line early In the first period Hawkins, by two fine runs, took the ball to the l-yard line. He then snoiled his own rood work by trying to crawl across the line after he had been downed on the a-yard line.

Cornell was set back and lost a chance to score. Offside work and hurdling by Butler and a fumble by Hawkins put the Ithacans out of a fine chance In the third period, but the worst exhibition of Indifferent work came In the last period, when Collins and McCormlck advanced the ball through the line for 40 yards to the 5-yard line, where a mix-up of signals between Butler and Kvrlch lost the ball. i The Cornell team Is very far from getting together, as this game showed. Washington and Jefferson has a fast back field, which caused plenty of trouble, and once Whitehill threw a big scare Into the crowd by-picking up an onside kick which Guyer should have covered Guyer also missed the tackle, as did I Butler. Whitehill going to the 2-yard line before he was thrown out of bounds.

The Naval Academy and Princeton battled without a score this afternoon, and In the closing minutes of the game, all the men of Old Nassau! were hard pressed and battling for the honor of the big four against a team not generally classed with it, but which has shown its ability many fields of rising to the occasion And cutting out the work for the best of them. Princeton's goal line was seriously menaced daring; th game, and It Was within two minutes of the close that! the mld-shlpmen had their chance. Dalton trying for a field goal from placement from Princeton's thirty-yard line. The ball was blocked by the visitors as the game ended. 1 There was little question as to the superiority of the Tigers' backfleld.

at least In I to-day's playing, and none whatever that the navy had the heavier, better. and more- aggressive forward line. Princeton also had a better i series of plays on the attack, and the wet field did not greatly detract from the leetness of its runners. i Daltott and De Witt punted very evenly In the opening period of the name, but toward the end Dalton wore the Prince-ton lan -out to some extent and gah-iod considerably -on each exchange. Tho punting duel between Dalton of the Navy and De: Witt of Princeton waa, fine football.

Hoth of them got the leather over a goodly number of the whitewash lines and both used Judgment and accuracy in thekr placing and lining the ball. WTien; comparatively close to their exponents' goal line both had the knack of lifting the. ball high- In the air so as to allow the ends and other line men plenty or time in getting down the fTeld. Frequently Dalton panted out eld nearly at the limit- of his punting distance, so as to gfve Pendleton a chance to run the ball back. It wait.

In the last quarter that Dalton gradually wore his opponents down, and the 11 kishlpman Captain began to get from five to ten yards the better of the Tiger on every exchange. This, with the fierce tackling -of tbe Navy's ends and other line men. notably the big blackball red guard Howe, forced the fighting into J'rinceton's territory, and more than once the Pr inert on la ns were In a tight i i Tha same will, be noted as the occasion when Howe came to nis tveigning niinoia. several pounds over. 200 and able to run i abfe to hold Chi-.

Frequently leading the ends down the field, he threw his great weight like a thlrteen-lnch shell against the Princeton backs, carrying them off their feet and yards toward, their own goal. Howe's splendid tackling was the big point of to-day's game. Pendleton's occasional brilliant bursts around end being the only other 1 feature to compare with it- The quarters were much different In their general style of play, There was a great deal of kicking throughout.
