Philadelphia, Nov. 25. The University of Pennsylvania football team defeated i Cornell this afternoon on Franklin field by the score of 4 to 0. It was by far the fastest came that has been played here i this season and shows Cornell to have a remarkably strong team. There was less enthusiasm manifested by the 20,000 persons present than on last Saturday because the first half Cornell dal ad the playing, but in the second half Pennsylvania used their guards back for-j malion with terrible effect on the Cornell line.

After nearly every scrimmage In which this formation was used there 1 would a Cornell man stretched on the grass. These tiresome interruptions w. the only drawbacks to an otherwise brilliant game. Of course there was considerable fumbling, due primarily to the slippery ball and Weeks also made a bad mess of two quarter-hack kicks, but this latter was also partially duo to the muddy ball. Princeton had beaten Cornell 10 to 0.

and it was the Quakers ambition to top the score, if possible, and thereby make today's gam- a fitting final for the greatest football season in the history of the Red and Blue. It was also Captain Minds ambition to make a good big score against the Itacha lads as this would make his captaincy shine out with even more brilliancy than ever. But in both calculations hope was dashed to the earth, mainly through the brilliant playing of the entire Cornell team. In the first half Pennsylvania tried the guards back, but this formation was just as easily stopped as was the attempted end skirting, and no patter where the Quakers tried to get through there always seemed to be a Cornell man lying in wait to tackle Their line in this half held like a stone wall and the ends were down the field undr Youngs kick before the Pennsylvania man readied tiie ball. The individual stars on the Cornell eleven were decidedly Wilson.

Windsor, Whiting and Young, the back field. The two former were sent against Pennsylvanias line for good gains and also around the end while the tackling of Whiting and Young on the ends was a beautiful exhibition of fast football. In the second half, the pace began to tell on the Itacha lads and they were driven down tha field by the guards back at a desperate pace. For the first 15 minutes of play it looked as though the Cornell team would sureiy score, but after this and. notwithstanding the hall was in Pennsylvania's territory, a greater part of the time, their goal was not menaced.

The Pennsylvania players lost one and possibly two opportunities of scoring when within Cornell's 12-yard line by fumbles. Aside from these their fumbles were not disastrous. For Pennsylvania the individual playing of Hare. Goodman and Out-land was remarkable. They brok up th Cornell interference and made good gains nearly every time they were entrusted with the ball, Hare also tackled in fin shape, getting out to the end of the line and nailing his man before the half-hacks cculd reach the runner.

Pennsylvania's touch-down was not made until after 21 minutes of actual play in the second half. For any team to hold Pennsylvania's guards back formation in check for 56 minutes is a great feat and only demonstrates how strong Cornell's team really was today.

Chicago, Nov. 25. In spite of a drizzling ra.In, some two thousand people assembled at Bankers field to see the football contest between th Knickerbocker Athletic club of New York and Bankers Athletic club of this city. The Now Yorkers won the toss and defended the south goal. At 11 o'clock the money changers kicked off, and after three or four scrimmages Larendon mad a touchdown after a run of 75 yards.

After kicking off a second time, the Bankers hld their opponents for short gains; Briggs picked up the ball on a fumble and made a touchdown, running 45 yards. The goal was scored, making the Bankers to 4. The Knickerbockers kicked off and the Bankers soon rushed the ball down for a touchdown, which Briggs converted into a goal. The Bankers seemingly gained strength each down, and they rushed the ball over the line t-wice more, when the Knickerbockers scored a touchdown, after a long run from the middle of the field. OConnor again failed to put the pigskin between the posts.

The Bankers kicked off 35 yards and held their opponents for three downs, when OConnor punted to Mann, who ran tiie ball back to the Knickerbockers 15-yard line. After several short gains, tho ball went to the New Yorkers on downs, and Beers was forced back 15 yards. Time was called with tiie bail on the Knickerbockers 10-yard line, and score 22 to 8. THE SECOND HALF. The second half was monotonous.

In that tho Bankers carried the ball the length of the field four times. The drizzl had increased and the players were covered with mud. The Bankers kicked off for 35 yards, but soon recovered tho ball, and after successful runs by Brown. Briggs and Roach, Hadden made the fifth touchdown in ten minutes of play. Hadden added to this score quickly by making a long run and taking the oval over the line in two minutes of play.

After the Knickerbockers kicked off again, they forced the hankers back, blocked their punt and fell on the ball on their opponents 15-yard line. However, In thir eagerness, Beers mad a long pass to Hughes, who fumbled and gav a chance to a sturdy accountant to drop on the ball. After this, Roach and Thomas each mad a touchdown, and Briggs, with his unerring aim, put th leather between the posts, making the final score 46 to 8. THE LINE UP. Bankers.

THE FIRST HALF. Missouri won the toss and took the pou th goal with the advantage of a slight breeze. At 2 52 Sieak kicked off to the 15-yard line and Cramer returned the ball 15 yards. Cramer went through left line. I' rom this point Speak made a second attempt at a field goal but again failed.

From the twenty-yard line Woodson kicked to the center of the field and Mosse came back eight yards. Hill forced Foster back for a loss of one yard.

T- fi 5 ffice of sheriff of Shawnee county, Kan- 1 7 Haakellites Take Auethur Tumble Out of Viisliburn- ico, to O. Lo, the poor Indian, rode into the valley of death at Athletic park yesterday. Indian cunning, Indian endurance, and Indian names devoid of othography and orthoepy, did not prevail against the skill and brawn of tiie Washburn palefaces. Once in each half did aboriginals find that they were unable to stop the collegians from crossing their goal line. Made-to-order football weather could not surpass the perfect plg-skln c-ondi-ti ns of yesterday afternoon.

There wa no wind. The 3ky was cloudy. The air was cool, and yet not spectators shivered more than once or twice, and those shivers were when some mangled individual was pulled out of the mix-up and rubbed back to playing condition. For a Topeka football game the crowd was largo. Over 500 people paid their money to see the great game, and it was a good exhibition of football.

Th teams wore well matched. They fought a fierce battle. But the Indians were not th match for the boys from Washburn. They did hot gain ground so successfully, they did not resist attack so strongly, and toward the last of the game they failed to sustain the speed with v.h they began tiie game, and Washburn was making fast progress toward the Haskell goal when time was called. Ilaskels brass band occupied places in the grand stand and played good music whenever delays in the play on the field occurred.

The worst feature of the game was the constant wrangling during the first half. Several times it seemed that the game would break up in a row, but both teams wanted to play it out, and both made concessions. The kicking was over Paul decisions as referee. It became his duty to decide several close points. One of these especially caused trouble.

Coldren allowed Washburn to score a forty yard run by Stahl. Haskell claimed that the ball was given to Stahl on a forward pass. Coldren rendered his decision contrary to this claim. After a long wrangle, Haskell yielded the point. It was questionable for Washburn to put Coldren in as umpire, for while his work was in the main satifactory to both teams, his decision on the above mentioned ca3e was of such vital importance to both teams that it would have created trouble whichever way it had been decided.

It appears that Coldren was put in by Washburn at the last moment to supply the absence of all of the usual Topeka football umpires Messrs. Low. Kleinhans, and Mohlcr. C. H.

Johnson acted as umpire, and some of his decisions provoked strong kicks from Washburn. The linesmen were C. Stahl and J. E. Vandal.

The game was called about 3:15 oclock, Washburn having the kick-off, and the north goal. FIRST HALF. Haskell was prevented from making her gains on th scrimmages by fine tackling by Stahl. The fulback got the ball on the third line-up, and punted. Washburn made several small gains and then lost the ball on downs.

Haskell played her men closer to the line than is allowed by the rules, and after being warned once, lost the ball to Washburn by a repetition of the foul. At this point Washburn passed the hall by a long throw to Stahl, who was playing out at the right end of the line. The speedy little end flew down the field till he reached the Haskell ten yard line. Then the teams wrangled for ten minutes, Haskell claiming that the ball was passed forward to Stahl. The run was finally allowed, and Washburn sent Brown through th Haskell center for eight yards, on a false drop kick.

Hughes was pushed over for a touchdown. Wylie missed goal. Haskell made a wonderful kick-off, the ball being caught by Stahl on the Washburn goal line. He advanced the ball ten yards. Farror, the swift-footed Negro, was sent around the left end for 30 yards on a well played criss-cross.

Washburn then played a series of straight bucks, and forced the Haskell line for good gains. The criss-cross was played for a loss of 5 yards, and then Washburn punted. Haskell got the ball on her 40-yard line. She tried to gain on bucks, but was held solid for three downs. She then punted.

Washburn again tested the Haskell line, and made good gains. Farror made three runs of 7 yards. Washburn then lost the ball on downs. Haskell again had to punt on her third down. After several good gains Washburn punted.

Haskell made two gains of 5 yards on end runs, time was called for the first half. SECOND HALF. Haskell started off the half with another of her extraordinary kicks, clear to the goal line. On the third scrimmage Washburn punted. Haskell made several short bucks and lost t'h ball on downs.

Washburn tried the quarterback kick, and Stahl recovered the ball. Washburn then fumbled, and Haskell got the ball. Wylie broke through the line, and caused Haskell to lose 3 yards. Haskell bucked with no gain. Tha faka punt was then so cold that the as, as provided by law.

Clarence Hershberger, the full-back of the University of Chicago made a name for himself in football history today by making three successful place kicks in the gam between the universities of Chicago and Michigan. On of them was so difficult that the attempt would have seemed foolhardy had not his team been well in the lead. One was made In the first half from the 17-yard line, and two in the second half, one from the 30-yard line, the ball at th time being right in front of the goal posts. But the kick which brought 12.000 people to their feet occurred about fifteen minutes later. The ball at the time was not more than five yards from the side lines and 25 yards from the goal and when the strong limbed half-back and Gordon Clarke dropped back with the evident intention of attempting to play, Chicago supporters were amazed.

The ball was passed, cleanly and Clarke placed it on the 35-yard line. An instant later the ball was sailing high in the air. It dropped squarely between the pests and a new football record had been made. The game which was played In the Coliseum, was a kicking contest from start to finish, and in the punts Hershberger easily showed his superiority over Hannan of the Michigan team. An exchange of punts would invariably net Chicago all the way from five to twenty yards.

The right end of the line proved to be Michigans weakest point, and when Chicago was running with th ball, most of the gains were made there. Bennett and Strickle were both worn out from the hammering directed against them. On the other end Teetzel did splendid work and if anything had a little the better of the argument with Hamil. Outside of Teetzel and Quarter-back Felver, however, the Chicago players outplayed their opponents. Cunningham was utterly unable to hold big Favanaugh who broke through frequently.

Gardiner scored the first touch down for Chicago, after a run of 35 yards. Hershberger kicked an easy goal. A little later beautiful catch of the ball on the 15-yard line. Poorman gained 2 yards around right end and Kennedys quarterback kick sent the hall back to goal lines. Games regained it and scored a touchdown.

Mosse kicked goal, making the score: Kansas 16. Missouri 0. Woodson kicked off 35 yards to Blochberger, who returned 5. Kennedy punted 40 yards to Woodson. Fast gained 4 yards through center and on the next play fumbled, but Parker regained the ball.

Then Fast made 2 yards through the line. Kennedy punted 50 yards for Missouri. Liggett gained 1 yard on a criss-cross play and Cramer 2. but losft the ball. Speak failed in his attempt at goal, Woodson falling on the ball back of the goal line.

From the 25-yard line Missouri punted 25 yards to Blochberger. Foster lost a yard rn his attempt on the line. Kennedy gained 20 yards on a quarterback kick to Cramer. Cramer rounded left end for 7 yards and Fast for 4 more. On a fast tandem Gentry made 15 yards around left end.

Chicago, Nov. 25. New Jerseys all star team fell before the Chicago Athletic association in th gam at Washington Park Oval this afternoon.
