ITHACA JOURNAL-NEWS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1921. iHr, 1f With Kaw Leading Attack, Buries Penn 41 to eventually on the ball The next score came in the second outweighed 15 to 20 pounds by the Machine Scores Greatest Dobie Of All Victories Over Quakers In Rain and Mist, On Miry Field Cornell's Great Half Back TTT Red stalwarts. Dodgr Wins Toss. A few minutes later a mighty cheer arose from the north stand as Cornell, headed by the giant Bill Dodge, emerged from the northwest gate and ran through signals. The captains met In the center of the field and shook hands.

Referee Cutts tossed the coin and Dodge won. He chose the north goal, and to receive the kick. Cornell wanted to get going right away. The kick-off was a trick, a short tick that went about 15 yards and made it anybody's ball. A Penn end fell on It and It remained the doleful that exactly the same play started the 1920 game, the play in which Dodge broke his nose.

However, there was no ill' omen about this coincidence. Penn could do nothing with rushing, and punted. A kicking duel ensued, Kaw gradually getting the better of Wray until he landed one on Penn's 7-yard line and had the Quakers in a hole. Wray punted out from behind his goal line to Penn's 35, and on the next play Kaw faked a forward pass and ran for a touchdown, the whole north stand going wild with delight. The skillful boot of Hanson mado it a goal and Cornell was off.

The Ithacans needed Just tha tracer and they soon demonstrated tiat the1 only question in thl3 game wag what would be the size of the scor5. The big Cornell line soon got Penn into another hol8 by hurrying the and throwing Wray twice for loses. He dropped back for a kick finely on his 10-yard line. The pass was hurried, he jugled It, and four Cornell men downed him, the ball going to Cornell on downs. Four rushes, LecLler was over for the touchdown.

The Cornell band, with George Coleman wielding a mean umbrella as he directed them played "The Big Red Team." and "Cornell Victor! nus.M Eric Dudley led the singing. The cbeerLasr and singing was a big Improvement over that of the Dart mouth and Columbia games. But who wouldn't cheer and sing on such an occasion when the greatest Cornell football team in years had srnrnd more noints In one half against Penn than any Cornell team had aver scored In history a whole Penn came.

But for that matter the north stand was rocking in cheers pretty nearly all afternoon. Old Grad and student pleaded and shouted for more and more. With the memory of long lean years they were heart les3. ravenous. If Cornell had won by 100 they wouldn't have thought the score a bit too high.

In the third period the doleful Oil mour got his an ear splitting long yell, from thousands of throats that echoed back and cross the field with tremendous volume. Did ho stand up, smile and bow? He did not. He never battde an eye lash. He's Dobie. on Cornell's 30-yard line, where Ertresvaag dropped the Cornellian halfback before he was started.

Quarterback Pfann directed the attack against Humes, and Lechler jammed past him on two rushes for a first down. Kaw carried the ball around right end for still another first down in midfleld. Here the Red and Blue line held like a rock and the Ithacans failed to gain so Kaw kicked to Wray on Penn's 15-yard line. Once more Wray kicked and once more Cornell profited by the exchange when Dodge went across the line of scrimmage and deflected the punt, Pfann catching the ball on Penn's 38-yard line as the period ended. Score: Cornell, 14; Penn, 0.

Second Period. Langdon replaced Vogelin. On the first rush Kaw darted arftund right end and aided by perfect Interference, made a first down on Penn's 27-yard line. Kaw twice jammed past Thurman for four-yard gains and then Lechler hurled himself through Dern for three yards and a first down on Penn's 16-yard line. Here Pfann called for an end run and the Cornell interference literally mowed down the entire Penn left side of the Hne, Kaw carrying the ball around ois right flank and scamporing unhindered over the line for a touchdown.

Despite the rain the Cornell stands were a riot of waving pennants as Hanson again kicked the goal. Score: Cornell, 21; Penn, 0. Greenawalt replaced Grave as (he latter had failed to break up the Cornell interference. Kaw kicked off for Cornell, missing the ball slightly and Greenawalt caught it on Penn's 39-yard line. Wray missed another poor pass and was hurled back for a 20-yard loss.

Accordingly he kicked Lechler on Penn's 45-yard line. Lechler ripped through Humes for a first down. Then two speedy end runs by Kaw gave Cornell still an other first down on Penn's 20-yard line. Once more Cornell sent Lechler against center and this time he drove his way through for six yards. Sullivan replaced Greenawalt.

On the second down F.amsey, called into action to carry the ball for the first time, skidded dizzily on the treacherous field past Dern for three yards. On this play Sullivan was off side and Cornell got a first down on Penn's six-yard line. Dodge was detected offside on the next play and this time the Ithacans were set back five yards. Captain Wray led Humes off the field. and Graf replaced him.

A rush failed but a forward pass which looked good went to Penn's two-yard line, but the ball was given to Penn. Day replaced Dern and the ball was neatly wiped off and teed up on a towel. Wray got off a nice punt from be hind his own goal posts to Kaw on Penn's 25-yard line. On the first play, Pfann shot around, left end and over the goal line, but the play was recalled when a Cornell lineman was detected holding and Cornell was penalized 15 yards. Kaw ran 10 yards around right end and Lechler twice plowed through center for 14 more yards and a first down.

Lechler and Ramsey hit Cochrane for eight yards on three rushes and it was a fourth down with three to go and the ball on Penn's eight-yard line. Kaw, behind perfect interference, skirted wide around right end for a touchdown. While the Cornell stands were cheering, Hanson failed to kick the goal. This was his second miss of the year. Score: Cornell, 27: Penn, 0.

Pendleton replaced Cochrane. Kaw sent a long kick to Wrav on Ponn' 26-yard line. On a reverse play, Miller to Penn Eained rJt yards, but lost all this when Munns threw Miller for an eight-yard loss.

Without this line, without such team work, without such marvellous inter ference, even as brilliant a back as Kaw, would not have functioned as he functioned yesterday. Credit for the victory goes to a splendidly eauipped and always magnificently fighting team.

Jinx? They had never heard of it. Spirit? It burned high in the breast of every one of them. Not One Cornellian Hurt. Eloquent of the condition of the Ithacans, too, is the statement that not once in the whole game was time taken out for a Cornell player, though Penn had to make frequent substitutions to replace injured or worn-out men. Besides the brilliant work of Kaw there were other individual achievements worthy of the best football traditions.

There was the mighty Lech-ler, a raging bull of a plunging back. His rushing was irresistible. Whenever a short gain was needed they called on George, and George did it. When he hit a Penn man the opponent went down and out of the way. He was a bear on defense, too.

Playing his last game for Cornell, right in his home city of Philadelphia, Lechler rose to great heights and well deserved the mighty ovation he received from the Cornell fields when, covered with mud and glory, Coach Dobie took him out in the last few minutes and threw in the fresh and eager Olney to help break up the Penn last stand forward passing attack. A superb tackle by Hanson of Wray, Dodge's and Hanson's driving in and smearing the Penn plays before they got started, Brayton's cool harrying of the Penn center, the efficient play of both ends, Ramsey's fine 45-yard run, during which he slipped to earth after going 25 yards, got up and ran 20 more, the good head work and coolness of Pfann, and the steady play of the two guards all contributed to the great victory. Once Wray got away for what looked like real danger, but Kaw brought him down on the 25-yard (BT HA3UST a STTJTSL) Ttva Penn "Jtox" was to death tte mud and mack, at Franklin Field yesterday afternoon under the smashing drive of the powerful attack of one of. the greatest teams in all Cornell football history. Against the somber (background of a drab dull day the red TKumers of Cornell flung to the winds by some 10,000 raving partisans of the Institution on the hill waved proudly and triumphantly from the North Stands on Franklin Field as one of the mightiest elevens that has yet gone forth from Ezra's halls rolled up the greatest score ever made by Cornell against Pennsylvania, scoring more points in fact in the first half than any Cornell team had erer rolled up iagainst Pens in a whole game.

To be sore a dry field would also have helped the gallant little Rex Wray, his equally gifted little colleagues. Grove and Miller, to make a better Job of their forward passes, but so quickly did the Cornell line, particularly the tackles, drive in on Wray when he tried the pass, or reverse plays, so badly was Dern, the Penn center worried into a series of wretched passes by Bray ton, the Cornell pivot man, and so alert and keen on the ball was the Cornell secondary defense that It is doubtful if Penn would have gotten away with much fancy etutf no matter what the condition of the field.

The raging Cornell line was pressing Wray every minute end time after time a bad pass and a driving Cornell forward lost the Quakers from three to five yards, sometimes eight and ten. Penn had been perfectly scouted; they bad practically nothing that Cornell was not set for, and only once on a reverse play did they momentarily upset Cornea's balance. The field ot course militated against passing; Wray tried perhaps half a dozen. He got away with three, none, however, for a long gain.

trwrmaesamx ued Atom scope of its attack. Much of the "new stuff," and the team had a good bit of It, was never even attempted first because it wasn't necessary, second because the team did not care to take chances with passes on that sort of a field. Cornell tried but one pass in the game, a short Kaw to Pfann toss In the second period. To the stands it seemed completed on the one-yard line for a first down but for some reason not explained the officials called It incompleted and gave the ball to Penn not where the play started however, but where Pfann with the ball went to the ground. This ruling was a bit foggy, but it mattered nothing at all for the Red eleven came back in a very few minutes and scored a touchdown all the same.

Cornell Crosses Penn. The Quakers had been anticipating an off tackle attack and they had been drilling for two weeks to meet it. But the off tackle play in the first half was conspicuous by its absence. Cornell crossed Penn beautifully, and instead of slanting of tackles, ran wide about the ends. It was those end runs, with the brilliant Kaw, who wrote his name In figures of fire high on the roll of Cornell's hall of fame, carrying the ball that proved Penn's undoing.

Behind the finest interference ever formed by a Cornell eleven, interference that found two, three and sometimes four men protecting the runner, knocking out Quaker after Quaker with deadly precision, interference that worked as smoothly as the links of a chain, the great Cornell halfback who challenged the attention and admiration not only of 28,000 spectators, but of some of the cpuntry's greatest critics and coaches Walter Camp, Roper of Princeton, Wilce of Ohio State, Andy Smith of the University of California and many others ran wild about the wings for many big gains. Twice he ran from the 10-yard line for a touchdown with nobody touching him. Twice he swung around the ends and then cut in stiff arming Pos Miller and Wray and beating the whole Penn team in a mad chase for the touchdown. His dodging, twisting, slippery running, his change of pace, his stiff arm work, his uncanny eluding of the Penn tacklers, reminded one of the great Charley Barrett's work on this same field. Kaw stamped himself as the greatest Cornell back since Barrett and one of the best all around backs in the game today.

Be- 1 sides his brilliant work in the open field running he punted better than he has at any time this season, proving fully the equal of Rex Wray. One kick was blocked on him, due largely to the fact that he did not catch the ball squarely and was therefore a little bit slow In getting them off. It was a great day for Kaw, the day he had been looking for. Only a year before he had been held hopeless because in front of him he had a weak and wobbly line and a dispirited team. But yesterday he had a chance to show what he could with a fine team to support him and how he did come through.

He was the outstanding figure of the day, carrying the ball three-quarters of the time and almost always for gains. Raw's Great Running. It was Kaw who brought the Cornell thousands to their feet in wild acclaim five minutes after the first period opened when on a fake forward pass that fooled Penn com-petely and drew the Quaker secondary defense over to the right, he broke around left end and after stiff arming Miller and then Wray darted over the line for the first touchdown. His total run was about 45 yards. It was Kaw again in the third period, when Penn was fighting better than at any time in the game, who broke the Quakers hearts by another Buch run.

Brayton had recovered a fumble on Penn's 40-yard line. On the very first play Kaw started around right end, cut in sharply, thus throwing the Penn defense off its balance and ran unmolested 35 yards for another touchdown. And it was Kaw who on three other occasions carried the ball over, twice on a snort 10-yard run without even being touched by a Penn tackier. But it was not Kaw, brilliant as he was, who won the Penn game. It was a splendid Cornell machine, with the most perfect co-ordination between line and backfleld that the oldest alumnus could recall, that crushed, crumpled, overwhelmed and routed the Quakers.

Calm, cool, determined, masters of themselves and the situation at all times, never flurried nor flustered, they were remorseless in their tremendous driving power. Built on the solid foundations of one of the best lines ever developed in Ithaca, a line that literally engulfed the heavier Penn forwards, smothering them completely, harrying their passers and wrecking their fancy plays, this was a team of eleven men welded into a perfect football machine In which every man had a part to play and played it almost to perfection. Such precision of detail has rarely First rriod. Captain Dodge called the toss and chose to defend the "vest goal and receive the kick-off, taking advantage of an extremely slight freeze. Hamer executed a characteristic piece of Penn strategy at.

the start by kicking off 15 yards to the Cornell 41-yard line, where Bi'4 Grave of Penn fell on the ball. Hamer twice tried to rip the Big Rei line without appreciable gain. A forward pass failed, so Wray booted on a fourth down to Cornell's 16-ytrd line, where Kaw received the ball. On three tries against the Penn line. Cornell made six yards, so Kaw punted to Wray in mid-field.

Wray immediately acknowledged the kick by punting back to the Red and White 30-yard line, thus insisting that Cornell take the offensive. Kaw twice shot off Thurman for five-yard gains and Cornell had a first down on its 40-yard mark. When Cochrane was off-side Cornell got five yards more on the penalty. Three terrific smashes against the Penn center by Lechler failed to gain more than eight yards, so Kaw kicked out of bounds to Penn's 6-yard line. Wray kicked back and the Ithacans profited by the exchange of punts, Lechler catching the ball on the Penn 45-yard line.

On the next play, Lechler faked a buck at the Penn line and then Kaw dropped back to fake a forward pass. Drawing in the Penn secondary de fense Kaw rushed around left end, evaded "Pos" Miller, straight armed Wray and ran unhindered the last 30 yards for a touchdown. Not a Penn man was within 15 yards of the elusive Cornell halfback. The Ithacan supporters in the North Stand went wild as Hanson kicked the goal. Score: Cornell, Penn, 0.

Hamer sent a kick-off spinning into Lechler's arms on Cornell's 25-yard line. After three non-gaining rushes, Kaw kicked to Wray on Penn's 38-yard line. Hamer was tossed back by Hanson for a two-yard loss. Wray was thrown for a 10-yard loss when he fumbled a poor pass. Once more Wray called for an end run and this time he juggled it worse than ever.

Dodge breaking through and throwing the little Penn leader on the Red and Blue's 14-yard line, aiyl Cornell took the ball on downs when Wray missed still another pass. Lechler and Kaw thrice plunged against Cochrane and Thurman, the Penn tackles, for a first down on the Penn 4-yard line. Here the Penn line tooked terrible. Vogelin was sent in to replace Lechler smacked Derne for two yards and then he plunged over the line on a skin tackle play directed against Thurman for Cornell's second touchdown. Again the Ithacans' stands rocked with cheers as Han- I son kicked the goal.

A fumble gave the Quakers the ball on the 25-yard line. A pass, and some rushes brought it to the seven. Here was a crisis. Cornell players said afterward that they all felt that the game would be as good as lost though they had 41 points if Penn should score. They smeared the rushing game.

Wray tried one pass, but it was incompleted. Olney knocked down the next one. Cornell recovered the ball on downs, ran it out of danger in three plays, and then Kaw got away for another 40-yard run and touchdown was in sight when the whistle blew. That was the kind of Cornell team they cheered on Franklin Field yesterday. Wednesday in Philodelphia was a beautiful day for football, but it started raining Wednesday night and early yesterday morning a thin drizzle was falling.

Toward noon it stopped for a while, but as the throngs started for the game a steady rain was falling, making the prospect about as dreary as one could imagine. It was almost as bad as on the fateful Thanksgiving Day a year before. The field, which had been protected during the morning, was thoroughly drenched by the time play started. The seats, of course, were soaking wet, and old papers, canvas, cushions, oilskins, raincoats of all descriptions and umbrellas were in order. In the face of such conditions the size of the crowd was unusual.

Some 28,000 persons were in the stands by the time the first period was well under way. The Cornell backs and centers came on the field at 1:35 for a little practice and to study the weather conditions. After about ten minutes they hurried back to the clubhouse for final instructions. About 1:50 Penn trotted out, greeted with mighty cheering from the south stand. The Quaker line looked heavier than Cor nell's, but the backfleld, with Wray and Grove, 135-pound midgets, and two best men on the Penn team, was 4 Kaw Starting Out on Long V- footed a This picture shows Eddie Kaw tretOn nn BCcrai runs Courtly CorneU Dally Sup 'P.
