FightlnB Spirit Helped
A team with less fighting spirit probably
would have gono to pieces after getting off
to such a poor start In the big gamo of
the year, but tho Bed nnd Ulue eleven
staged Its uuual come-back, (lettlne pos
session of tho ball In Its own territory, the
new Venn offense was launched.
Bert Hell selected the plays with rare
Judgment and took the Ithncans by sur
prise. Cornell hnd perfected the Pitt style
of offense, but had neglected to prepare
n iinfunHa for Us own new system and was
bewildered when Penn used precisely the
same plays that had been retponslble for
Cornell's score. That really Is tho secret
nf Ponn's trtumnh Yesterday.
Folwell beat Cornell at Us own game. Bo
had planned carefully for tho battle, and,
aided by his scouts who bad followed
Bharpe'a team since the start of the season,
perfected the Cornell stylo of offenso on sov
eral plays. These plays wero Penn'a gtat
est ground gainers yesterday, because Cor
nell was not prepared for them.
Penn played a back about t yards
to the right or left on every shift forma,
lion directed at the short side of the de
fense and Cornell's ends, and one back on
secondary defense was boxed on almost
every play. Sharps tried to plug the weak
ness by bringing Center Rush Carry up on
the scrimmage line to give him another
man to spill the Interference, nut i.uu
Wray kept him out of the play and spoiled
Cornell's only hope to stop the new of
fense, Folwell also pulled other plays that were
revelations to the spectators, who had be.
come accustomed to seeing l'enn using
ancient plays game after game In recent
years. Ho had an assortment of delayed
passes, criss-crosses, cross-bucks, hidden,
ball formations and forward passes that
were bewildering, and Uert Bell always
called for the proper play.
Bell Used Fine Judgment '
The little quarterback vindicated Fol
well's Judgment After the Swarthraore
game the student body and football en.
thusUsts voted Bell a failure because he
had a bad day, and they did not want to
see hfm Pilot the team again. Folwell had
confidence In Bell's generalship and sent
him Into the Michigan and Cornell games
In the face of criticism, and the quarter
back proved a great team director on both
occasions.
After Penn started Us march toward the
Cornell goal shortly after Bhlvertclc had
booted his field goal It was apparent that
ths Ithacans' ouly hope for victory de
pended upon the crumbling of Fenn's de
fease. The spectators expected Pena to
tally before the half ended, but were not
prepared tor the sensational and unique
forward pass. Bell to Urquhart, that tallied
the first touchdown.
Every Ptna regular, excepting Berry,
was removed from the game before It
closed, and the substitutes continued, to
batter toe Cornell Una to pieces. The-play
w la Ceraell's unitary daring tbe'r?
sUedar of the game ud Pena w held for
iluwaa gA the W4 Ha sa jeeeaatao.
Thin goal line Rlnnil was ono of tho fea
tures of the game.
From that point It wns nil l'enn. nnd If It
had been necessary tlio lied nnd Dluo prob
ably could havo scored two moro touch
dbwns. Whatever doubt tho funs had re-
panllng tho outromo of tho gnmo wns dis
pelled when Howard Ilcrry kicked n sen
sational goal from Held from tho extremis
sldo of the Held. Tlio actual dlstnnco was
only .5 yards, but when tho anglo nnd
condition ot tho field ono considered It wai
ono of tlio moat remarkable boots In recent
years.
Tho first halt ended with Penn lending.
10 to 3, nnd tlio victory npparcntly was
clinched, but when Cornell opened up with
n tcrrllle onslnUKht at tho start of the sec
ond hnir tho ,12.000 fnns wonaerea wnetner
tho lied and llluo lmd shot Its bolt. Tho
defenso tightened ns soon na Cornell got
beyond tho center of tho Held, nnd tho play
was again shifted Into Cornell's territory.
JIHIcr Wns tlio Star
llelnlo Miller, whoso work nt end was
tho most spectacular seen on Franklin Field
In many years, then wrecked Cornella hopes
by blocking Mhlycrlck's punt and falling on
the ball on Cornell's 30-yard line. On tho
following line-up Miller mado n Bcnsatlonal
catch of n forward pass from ltcll nnd took
tho ball to Cornell's 7-yard lino beforo
Shlvcrick tossed him out of bounds. Ben
Dorr wns given tho ball on thrco successive
plays, and went over Tor a touennown.
Tho final touchdown nlso was duo to
Miller's brilliant work. After Berry's long,
well-placed punts had driven Cornell back
close to Its goal line. Hennlng nnd Mathews
blocked another kick nnd Miller dovo on
tho ball behind the goal lino for a touch
down.. Uy this tlmo tho Ithncans wero
thoroughly demoralised nnd Coach Folwell
started sending substitutes Into tho game.
From a spectator's standpoint tho gamo
was ono of tho best of tho neason. desplto
the mleerablo condition of tho field. Iloth
teams handled tho ball in great stylo.
Penn'a work In this renpect being ono of
the mnny features. Although forced to
handle a slippery ball, Penn did not loso
n tint i on ii fnmlihi once. The only fum
ble wns an excusabio ono by Berry, which
was recovered by Boll,
Ilelno Miller w.ih tho star of tho battle,
and he probably clinched nn nil-American
position by hla sensational work, but every
other member of the Penn team more than
fulfilled expectations. Howard Berry out
kicked the famous Shlverlck, played bril
liantly on dofenso nnd made many long
gains, whllo Derr proved n most depend,
nblo Una breaker, us well ns n. defensive
star.
The line, from end to end, outclassed that
of Cornell, livery Bed nnd llluo forward
made at least one sensational play, with
I.ud Wray and T.ew I.lttle doing the best
work. Wray was playing his laBt game,
and he gave a grand exhibition of second
ary defenso play. Hennlng, Mathews, Ur
quhart and Derr also were competing for
the last time, and It Is not stretching the
point to say that they nil played better
than In any previous game.
Just nbout 30,000 moro people than those
crowded and packed In Franklin Field
cnlled up the Bvbkino I.BOOCn by tele
phono to nek tlio scoro of tho Penn-Cornell
gamo. Telophono calls piled over each
