It was the most largely attended game ever held in Ithaca, many of the Cornell alumni present. Th- cheering and singing by the Cornell ccctlngent was far and away the beat they had done at any Bame. Cornell's hymn, the -Alma Hater rang by two thousand undergraduates, while "some three hundred Princeton men.

Not once did" the Tigers hold Cornell for the distance. Two more plays took the ball ten yards further, to Princeton's 10-yard line. Purcell made two yards, but at the next try he lost five, and after the next the ball went to Princeton. What was probably Cornea's best chanco to win the game was lost.

They failed to pain around and then tent the ball for the first of the offside that so marred the work of both teams. Cornell look the ball to the 35-yard line, and then lost It again on downs.

Brewster got It behind his posts and punted from his 25-yard line. The Tigers had the ball at midfield. Ten yards they get for Cornell's offside play and eleven yards on a delayed pass splendidly worked. Another Fmail pain brought the ball to Cornell's 30-yard line, and from here another attempt was made at a placement goal. It was a poor one.

but who caught the ball, was tackled so cleverly on his 10-yard line that the Cornell stands jost courage at once. Th- began cheering again, however, when "Pop" Warner, running on Brtwster's punt, Tackled the Princeton where he caught the ball, in the centre of the field. Here Mills, Princeton's right puard. who had played against Warner, was taken out. and BntktewiCX went in in his place.

The first half was ever with the score 0 to 0. During the intermission Cornell was all confident. The chief source of congratulation was that no one on the Bed and 'hit- team had yet been forced out. Brewster had not been much outpunted, and, anyway, bis backs had supported him better than Princeton's backs had supported their punter. At 131 Dewitt kicked off.

The kick was returned and Cornell got the all tor holding In the line. Pui'ceU fumbled, bow-ever, and McCord fell on it.

Warner made a splendid tackle. Cornell got th ball for holding in the line. Then there was some punting, and on one of those punts at the Tigers' 20-yard lino Cornell's score was made. All the Red and White team Jumped in the air to get hold of the leather, and Coffin, the right halfback, whose getting in the came at the start to-day was doubtful, succeeded. He put the ball under his arm, and without interference ran through the ten yards back to the goal One.

At this Cornell went and the Jubilation was increased when Coffin trotted out to Idfield after kicking an easy goal. On the next kick off Sen elkopf had the bail and tackled on his 9-yard line.

Every one watched the ball as best he could. First a great yell went up from the Princeton contingent, and a Kreal moan from the Red and White, as it seemed that Dewltt had put the ball over. Then the truth was seen. The ball had fallen Just a little short. It had touched Brewster, and as he was starting to run with it Princeton men struck him and forced him with the ball back of his line.

COLUMBIA'S Till I'M PH. THE AND WHITE WIKS FROM PENNSYLVANIA BY 11 TOO--WEEKES MAKES BOTH KHXHDOWKB. Columbia's football players defeated the rniversity of Pennsylvania yesterday afternoon at the Polo Grounds in decisive fashion by a score of 11 to 0. About ten thousand persons saw the game, which was a good exhibition of football and was stubbornly enough fought to leave the result In doubt up to the last few minute? of play. At the end it became apparent that even If Perm should be able to make a touchdown she could not hope to erjual the eleven points already rolled by the wearers of the Blue and Whitf.

There are several reasons why the admirers of the New-York collegians should have left the Polo Grounds yesterday in a state of satisfaction. The first was. of course. Columbia's clean cut victory. A second was that there was no illegltimrtely rough play, of which Oolmnbia was -ccused in her gnmos with Harvard and Yale earlier in the season.

It was straight, hard, clean football from the first whistle to the last, the better team won without the aid of any rlukes. The result was no surprise to those who have studied the football situation closely during the earlier weeks of the season. It was plain that Term's team this year was Inferior to the aggregation of kickers she has been In the habit of WEEKES. COLUMBIA'S CRACK HALFBACK, MAKING TITS HURDLE PLAY. out.

Her close game with Bucknell and her defeat at the hands of the Naval Cadets were sufficient indications of her weakness. But the prestige of Columbia's victory Is not detracted from by that fact. She. too. was and severely handioarr the ab Fence from her line of two of her most capable and efficient players.

Bruce, at right tackle, and Kingden. at the corresponding position on the other side of the line, were both unable to play on account of Injuries received in revious games, and their substitutes were unable to fill their places completely. Aside from the evident superiority of the New- Tork team, the feature of the game was the brilliant showing made by Weekes. the towheaded halfback of the Columbia eleven. This player was a host in himself.

It was rarely that he failed to make at least his distance, and most of the gains of Th- winning were made by him. His hurdle play, in which he leaped clear over both rushlines. was spectacular in the extreme, and. what is more, was effective until the k-ngth of the game began to tire him out. and he gave up this particular play.

Both nf Columbia's touchdowns were made by one of them after one of th" prettiest runs one could ask to see. a thrilling dash of seventy-two yards, part of which was without interference. Berrien made good gains through the opposing line, Morley handled the ball cleanly and ran the team with precision. In defence he followed the ball with unfailing instinct and energy. In the line Itself Lancon, the big guard, was the bright particular star.

He handled Teas. one of Pennsylvania's best forward players, with ease. nearly always opened up a good, big hole when called upon to do so. McClellan, on the other side of the Colombia line, very nearly met his match in Bennett, but Irvine and the substitute tackles, were seldom at fault. It was at left end that Columbia was weak and Boyesen was freuqently pocketed, and it was around his end that Pennsylvania made most of her substantial gains.

She could not do much with the centre of Columbia's line, and after a while she gave up trying. It is difficult to say much in praise of Pennsylvania's team work. backs made some good individual plays, but they were generally slow in getting into motion, and the first thing they knew Weekes or Morley or big Lanoon had dashed through and downed them before they ere well in motion. Reynolds did all the kicking for Pennsylvania, and here the visitors were stronger than Columbia, for Reynolds outkicked Morley every there was a competition between them. Morley got the ball away surely and quickly, but his pants lacked the distance that the Philadelphian got into his.

The most thrilling moment In the game tn the second bait wfcen. with the score 11 to 0 in Columbia's favor. Reynolds made twenty-five yards on a fake kick that caught Columbia napping. Keller then went through the centre for a good gain, and Perm added ten yards for offside play by Lancon. This brought the ball to Columbia's 14-yard line, and Reynolds followed with quarterback kick that landed the ball on Columbia's 3-yard line In Perm's hands.

Howard fumbied the next pan and lost eight yards. Then Beastett prepared for a place kick tor a goal, and all Columbia held its breath. It was a close thing, but the ball passed outside the goal posts and Perm's last chance to score had passed. The perfect fall weather had much to do with the size of the attendance. Before 1:30 o'clock the advance guard began to arrive at the Polo Grounds, and an hour later the grandstands and the bleechers were pretty well filled with a well dressed and eager throng.

Pennsylvania had sent a goodly delegation to cheer her representatives on to victory or -lefeat, as the case might be, but they were neither so numerous nor so voclftrous as they would have been had Perm's chances been brighter. Columbia's friends, of course were in a large majority, and they made the most noise and waved their flags and bunting in ami lpr.tlon of success. The Perm delegation brought its own band, clad in uniforms composed at 'he university's red and Headed by the musicians the Perm crowd marched on the field and started to "whoop her up" in rousing fashion. There was not much betting, but what little there was was at even money. There was a lons consultation between the captains of the two teams as to the length of the halves.

This should have been determined beforehand, for it is not particularly amusing for a Mg crowd of football enthusiasts to sit afar off while these details are being arranged. At last, after Mr. Bangs had taken a hand, it was decided to play full S5-minute halves. The toss was won by Columbia, and CaDtaJn NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SUNDAY. yOVEMBER 3, 1901.

Berrien chose the northern gtrat, while the Pennsylvanians took the ball. "At the sound of the referee's whistle Reynolds li'ted the pigskin into the air. It fell into the arms of Weokes on Columbia's 10-yard line, and the halfback carried it back twenty-two yards before he was downed. Then the Columbia players lined up for their first play, and tne -pectctors had their first look at the Weekes hurdle. The halfback stepped back ten yards from the line, and running at it caught the ball as he passed Morley and leaped into the air, while Columbia pushed him along and Perm rose to renei: the attack.

When the referee untangled the It was seen that the ball had been advanced three yards. In the mean time Corley and Morley had got Into a mlxup and indulged in the only play of the day that iike -lussinp. Another hurdle leap and rushes through the line by Smith. Berrien and ekes, soon brought the ball to the centre of the field. Perm's line crumpled up like paper before the attacks made on it.

and it looked to be merely a question of how lone it would take Columbia to get to the other end of the field. With the ball on Perm's 42-yard line, however, kea fumbled a pass from Morley. and as Smith's next attempt failed to gain any ground, the ball went to Pennsylvania on downs. Pennsylvania's cohorts In the grandstand rose in wild cheers as their eleven fell Into position for offensive play. "Guards back" was the first move, and It failed utterly.

The Columbia line piled it up with ease. Davidson also failed to get through McClellan, and Reynolds was forced to punt Pennsylvania had been held to three downs the very first time. Asaln the ball Ml into Weekes's arms, but he muffed It. nnd the watchful Morley fell on it on the thirty-yard line After Smith had skirted Gardiner's end for five yards and Berrien had made a slight gain through the centre, Morley signalled for a run around the right end. Weekes got the ball and started on the run.

Van Hoevenberg promptly pocketed Corley, Weekes dodged Reynolds, who had come through the line to rail him, and started up the field, while cheer on cheer rent the air. With Morley Interfering for him, Weekes sped on. Davidson waa ihe only Perm- Bylvanian who made a good attempt to get him. but he missed, and Weekeg landed the ball exactly behind IVnn's goal after a run of seventy-two yards. Morley promptly kicked the goal, and the score was to 0 in Columbia's favor.

players seemed taken completely aback. were evidently not expecting an end run. ami were concentrating their attention on stopping the successful attacks on their line that Columbia's backs had been making. At the second kickoff Reynolds kicked over Columbia's goal line and the ball was brought out twenty- live yards, whence Morley booted it back to the centre of the field. Howard ran It back ten yards, and after "guards back" had been unsuccessfully tried against Columbia's line.

Reynolds punted again to Columbia's 20-yard line. Another of Weekes's hurdles was good for four yard's. Smith failed to make his distance, and Morley lifted the pigskin back to the middle of the gridiron, here Davids made a. costly fumble and. Van who had got up the tleld like a Rash, fell on the leather.

Then Weekes, Smith and Berrien each banged away at the Perm line, while Lancon and McClellan and Irvine opened up a way for them. They made a total of eleven yards, and the was sent around Oorley once more. He 'lew along for fifteen yards before Davidson caught and nailed him good and hard at the edge of the Held. It was all in vain, for ball went to Perm at the centre of the gridiron for La con's offside play. The big guard was through Teas before the ball had been snapped back.

For the first time, now, began to play with something like snap and co-operation. Davidson ploughed through McClellan for five yards. Reynold added five through Duell. and Dale carried the leather another five through Irvine. It looked as if Perm had found herself.

Smith was knocked out temporarily through having encountered somebody's elbow with the pit of his stomach. He soon revived and I'enn tried "guards hack" again, but failed miserably, Reynolds being forced to punt, Herrien muffed the punt, but Gardiner Interfered with the fair catch and Perm was penalized ten yards. A fumble by Lancon on a tackle back formation gave the ball to Perm once more, and after she had made the usual two useless attempts to advance Reynolds punted again, Morley returned the kick, and Boyesen downed Davidson the Instant he caught the punt, at the centre of the field, and the Hlue and White got the ball a moment later on downs. Smith made eight yards around end before he was thrown by Howard. Berrien plunged for four more.

Weekes got by Gardiner for five yards. Then Lancon opened up a hole big enough to drive a hay wagon through, and Smith followed him for five yards more. Nothing could stop the Columbia backs, and Weekes. IWrlen and Smith plunged and dove and bucked through Perm's line until the leather lay only twenty yards from Perm's goal. Once more the got the, pigskin tucked firmly under his arm.

Once more Van Hoevenberg pocketed the unfortunate Corley, and the halfback sprinted swiftly around the right end and landed the ball across the line for the last touchdown of th- 1 game. The angle was a wide one, and Motley missed the goal, making the score: Columbia 11. Perm 0. Be. fore the half ended Weekes made another phenomenal run for thirty-five yards around the same end, but time was called a moment later.

The second half saw a decided "brace" on the part of the Red and Blue. In the first half the ball was in Perm's territory nearly all the time and Columbia's goal was not once seriously threatened, but the second period saw a condition of things that gave Columbia a bad scare. The substitutes for Kingden and Bruce began to tire, and Davidson, Reynolds and Dale made good gains through them. The first few minutes of the half saw an exchange of punts in which Reynolds got the best of the argument, but Weekes neutralized this by running the ball back twenty-five yards after a fine exhibition of dodging and twisting that reminded one of De Saulles. of Yale.

Smith fumbled a pass, and Morley fell on the leather but there was? a loss of eight precious yards' Davidson pot the ball, but Morley was through I like a flash, and threw him for a decided loss Weekes soon afterward was tackled for his first loss of the game. Donaldson being the instrument of the discomfiture. "When Morley ounted Boyesen let Dale get by him, and the halfback ran the pigskin back twenty yards before he was thrown. Teas and Davidson made good pains through McClelland and Duell. but then I they were stopped, and Reynolds punted to the 30-yard line.

Columbia rushed the leather back to the centre of the arena, when Perm got it for holding in the line. Reynolds here replaced Nelson, who had taken Corley's place at end. and Keller went In at Reynolds's place After Perm had kicked ana La noon had made a hole' for Berrien that netted ten yards. Perm held the line for downs. Then came the fake kick and the series of plays already described i that so nearly enabled Perm to score, It was a close but Perm failed to tally.

Gardiner made a fine run around Van Hoevenberg's end for thirty yards. He passed every; body but "Weekes, but the latter was equal to the occasion and nailed the runner Just within I bounds. There were mort, exchanges of punts and once Weekes got past all the Perm defence, or.ly to be recalled, as he had run out of bounds. But for offside play and holding Columbia might have scored again, but Perm got the ball once and five yards once for this offence and the leather was near the centre of the field when time was called and the field was overrun with Columbia men. who carried Whites off in triumph.

for. though the navy scored all their points In the first half Dickinson decidedly outplayed in the second and scored a touchdown and a goal, while the cadets could not reach their opponents' goal line.

THE CRIMSON MAKES THE SCORE 4S TO 0 IN A FAST GAME. TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE- 1 Cambridge Nov. 2 defeated Brown to-day by 48 to 0 in the best game so far played by the Crimson.

Five touchdowns were made In the first half and three In the second. All of them were converted into goals. In the first half, with the wind against her. Harvard did not once punt. In the second half she punted eight times, taking full advantage of the wind.

The worst feature of the game was the fumbling by Harvaru men. Roberts and Jones were both from the fh-ld for poor handling of the ball. Six times Drown men got the ball on fumbles. One of these was on her 2-yard line, after Harvard 1 had rushed the ball for ninety-tare yards, and another on the 5-yard line. Brown had two punts blocked, with disastrous results to her.

for both of them were made near her goal line, and Harvard mf-i fell on the ball both times for touchdowns. Brown made her distance only once, and then on a short end run. On the other hand. Harvard was not once hel.l for downs, and did not have to resort to any Of her pet formations. The tackle back play was tried out pretty effe'tlvely.

with good results, but it was sent straight at the line almost every time. Cutts and O'Connell, a freshman, both put tip a good game at tackle. The Harvard line was only fairly effective, considering that the Brown team was pretty weak. The most encouraging feature of the rushttne'a playing was the way in which they dragged the runner along. The interference formed quickly and well r.iost of the time.

Graydon did some of the prettiest hurdling that has been seen for a long time on Soldiers' Field. got a badly strained ankle, which may prove rather serious, for it Is the one he punts with. On the kickoff Brown attempted to rush. Instead of punting. Harvard got the ball on downs, and in three plays was over for a touchdown In two minutes.

The next score was made on a fifty-tiv yard run by Kernan. with interference that put out every man. Harvard got the wxt Idckod on M9-yard line. and. aided by long runs of and O'Connell.

rushed down for a touchdown. The touchdown was made after Harvard bad rushed the ball for 10T. yards, and the next Uckofl the Harvard rushed the ball from own 15-yard line to within two yards of Brown's goal, only to have (Jraydon fumble it. Brown punted to her 40-yard line, but Harvard soon hafi it back to the 5-yard line, where it was blocked and O'Connell fell on the ball for a touchdown. touchdowns, made after rushing the entire length of the field, show the strength of the Harvard offence.

The second half was mostly a kicking contest, in which Brown had the worst of it. Brown got the ball on Harvard's 43-yard line on a fumble, but was promptly held for downs. This was the nrarest that Brown got to Harvard's goal in either half. An amusing mlxup was a quadruple fumbling match by which Brown lost fifteen yards but the ball. The last touchdown was made after Putnam had punted from his 37-yard line ta Brown's 10-yard line.

Brown's attempt to return mini was blocked ar.d Putnam fell on the ball for a touchdown. Tho linkup: Harvard. Positions.
