Cornell Defeated or a Score of Thirty-
two to Ten.
AN INDOOR GAME OF FOOTBALL.
Whllo Other Teams Flounder iu tho Rain
and Mud Outsldo, the University of
Chicago Defeats the University of
Michigan In the Auditorium.
I'mLAttKLriliA, Nov. 27. Pennsylvania,
B3; Cornell, 10. Tlio Pennsylvania foot
ball elovuu wound up the season of 'PC
yesterday afternoon by playing protty
much tho samo kind of a gamo as sho hat
ilono all poason at times brilliant, while
nt otlier tlmos it would havo put to (shame
a lot of school boyB. Cornell plnyutl n
really brilliant gnmo throughout With
the exception of Bassford, at quarter, tlielt
play was almost perfect, ami had it not
been for tho fact that tho team ww so
much lighter than tho Itcdnnd Bluo thcra
would not havo boon thirty-two points
scored against thorn.
Thcro wore very fow attempts at trloks
by cither toam. Cornell oncousod a trick,
tho first tlmo that it has been soon on
l'onu's gridiron this season, and gained
flvo yards. Tho Ithaca lads lined up, but
no signals wero gtvon. lieacham walked
up slowly towards tho contor, ostensibly
for tho purposo of saying something to tho
quarterback, but in reality ho grabbod the
ball from the center and dashed through
lV'im's center before tho Hed and lllue
playors realized what was transpiring.
Tho Carnellan and White also tried
Princeton's famous turtle back play, but
tlioy lost ground oach tlmo by tho experi
ment, tho Hod and Uluo lino holding like
n stone wall. Tho Interference of Cornell
was always up to tho standard, which par
tially accounts for the brilliant dashes by
Bcacham. and MoKoovor.
It was duo almost entirely to tho mag
nificent playing of Cornell's bauk field
that both of thoir touchdowns were made.
By steady plucgos into tho lino and an oc
casional run arguud tho ends McKeuvor,
llltchlo and lieacham got tho ball ovc.-thc
Ited and Uluo goal lino twice. These
playors seemed to bo all over tho flold at
tho samo time, nnd tho playing of Loo and
Tausslgg on tho onds was also brilliant
They got down undor kicks remarkably
fast and tackled like fiends.
On account of their light lino their de
fensive play lltl not shitio out so bril
liantly as did tholr Interference, but thcro
wero very fow long gains around tho onds
by tho mon In Pennsylvania's back flold.
Kxcopt when tho Rod and Uluo eleven
wero overtaken with that tired feeling
thoy played tho game they aro copablo of.
That torrlble battering ram like process
was worked occasionally during tho entire
gamo, and Woodruff, Minds, Farrar, Uf
fonholmer and Wharton all wont into the
lino head foremost, nover falling to gain
from ono to ten yards. This sort of play
was Intorsporsod with an occasional re
volving wedge, in which UfTenhcimor was
almost ulways used, and by soino good
end runs, in which Gelbort, Boylo, Dick
sou, Morlce and Minds wero tho bright
particular stars.
Thoro wasvory llttlo fumbling by either
team, but some bad passing by tho quarter
backs caused both teams to suffer consid
erably. Tho Ited and Uluo wero penalized
twlco for offside play and ouco for hold
ing, whllo tho Cornell boys wero set back
flvo yards on threo occasions for off side.
When Kcfereo Mills, of Yale, blew Ills
whlstlo for play it was estimated that there
wero 17,000 persons within tho big Hold,
and tho beautiful red nnd blue and rod
and whlto colors ovorywhero In the huge
stands mudo tho sight a graud one.
Tho teams lined up as follows :

by tho woarers of tho red and bluo, and
William McKeovor, Cornell's halfback,
was elected captain of that team.
AN INDOOlt FOOTBALL OAME.
Ulectrlo Lights Alii tho I'layers and Add
Novelty to tho Occasion.
Chicago, Nov. 27. In tho big building
In which flvo months ugo W. J. Bryan
was nomiunted for tho presidency 15,000
cheering football enthusiasts saw the
cloven of tho University of Chicago defeat
tho strong cloven from tho University of
Mlchlgon by a score of 7 to 8, in ono of
tho most desperately oontested gamos ever
played in Chicago. To Herschbergor,
Chicago's fullback, Iwlongs tho honor of
winning tho gamo. His punting was ono
of tho features, and his goal from tho field,
klckod from tho forty yard Hue, wont
cleanly botwoen tho goal posts. On the
Michigan sldo Plngroo, iu tho first half,
was tho "whole thing," tho plucky llttlo
fellow seldom fnlllng to make tho required
distance Ho was, howover, forcod to re
tiro In tho second half, his place being
takon by Forbert, who was equally effect
ive. Michigan mado frequent uso of the
famous Vrlucoton tncklo and guard back
plays, which wero very effective.
Ono thing at least was sottlod by the
gamo, and that is that Indoor footbnll Is,
literally and llgurativoly speaking, a howl
ing success. Tho men had no trouble In
catchlug punts, nnd football was played
on Its merits, without tho handicaps of a
wet field or n strong wind. Toward the
pnd of tho second lnl" It got vory dark,
and tlnj spectators wcio treated to a nov
oily in tho shape of tontlAll by el.-fctrlc
light. Tho elements sonmod nil in favor
of tho game. Th" frequent squalls of rain
made outdoor footlxill almost a swim
mlng match, ami the strong south wind
rendered punting, ono of the points ol
footbnll which every one understands and
appreciates, out of the question to tho side
which was unfortunate enough to be
Dlnvlng against tho wind.
Tho srono was a brilliant ono. On nil
sides of tho field wore tho waving colon ol
tho rival colleges, with hero nnd thoro a
sprinkling of tho cardinal of Wisconsin,
tho bluo of Yale, the red nnd whlto ol
Cornell nml the yellow and black of Cham
paign. In tho boxos along tho sldo Unci
wero mnny gronps of gaily drcssod wonion
with tholr oscortH. Tho "box pnrtlos," in
fact were not tho least Interesting feature
of tho gnhio, repluclng as thoy did ton
certain extent tho coaching parties.
Tho nolso was simply terrific. Kvory
mother's son and daughter scorned to bo
posscssod of a tin horn and a determina
tion to blow its mouthpiece through tho
ljcll. Clnss and collcgo yells and songs of
all kinds wero started with or without
provocation, and at times tho play had to
bo stopped on account of tho inability of
tho playors to hoar tho signals.
The result decidedly complicates tho
situation as regards tho western cham
pionship. Evory loom with tho oxcoption
of Wisconsin has now suffered at least
ono defeat, and their tlo with tho North
western yosterday gives them but llttlo
ground for claiming tho championship.

FLAG RAISING CEREMONIES HELD
An Impressive Event Under the Auspices
of the Women's Relief Corps-Success of
the Annunciation Literary Society's
Supper and Entertainment
and tha Bazaar.
Tho observance of yesterday was not gen
eral on account of all tho P. & It. col
lieries being kept in operation, still the
town had a holiday appcaranco and all the
attractions wero well patronized. Many
people went to Shamoklu and witnessed the
foot hall match between tho team of that
placo and Ashland. About 3,500 peoplo weio
iu attendance. The interest ran high, as tho
gamo was the third to decido supremacy be
tween tho two teams. The first two games
between them wero hotly contested and
neither side scored in either, so that yester
day's gamo was for blood. Tho Shnmokinites
wero so confident of winning that they sent
representatives to this town Wednesday
night to look for bets. They did not win,
howover. Ashland got the gamo on a deci
sion. Tho hitter had the ball within three
feet of tho Shamokinites' line, when a dis
pute aroso and tho latter left tho Held, where
upon tho umpire gave tho gamo to Ashland
by a score of 1 to 0.
Hundreds of people went to the Trotting
park yesterday to witness tho announced foot
ball gamo between tho Mahanoy City and
Shenandoah tennis, but wero sorely disap
pointed, as tho former team failed to put in
an appearance. Manager 1 ahey pays the
Mahanoy City team is ungrateful.
An all-day attraction was tho target shoot
ing tournament on tho mountain back of
Balrd's Held, tho prizo being ltohert Smith's
black bear. A large, crowd remained on tho
field until late in the afternoon and the con
test was spirited. The shooting distaneowas
forty ynrds nnd tho match was won by
Webster, son of Lewis Klein, of Xortli Main
street, who took a ten-dollar gold piece In
preference to tho hear. Tho judges of tho
contest wero M. (1. Wurm, II. 1'. Headier,
Kills Bevnu and I). Davis. Mr. Smith will
havo another tournament during the L'hiist
mas season.
One of the leading attractions of last even
ing was tho turkey supper and concert held
under the auspices of the Annunciation
Literary Society in its hall. It was a grand
success. The following program wni ndmlr
ahly rendered; Address, P. 11. Burke; recita

able ono. Tho waiters and waitresses were

Another brilliant evening attraction was
tho llazaar li. H. and turkey supper at
Bobbins' hall. The attendance was largo
and a most enjoyablo evening was afforded
tho patrons. Tho success with which the
bazaar and B. II. has met has led the man
agement to decido upon a continuance and it
will be open this and to-morrow evening. A
new program if auxiliary attractions is
given nightly.
A pleasing event of tho afternoon was the
flag raising at tho new Whlto street school
building under the auspices of the Women's
Belief Corps No. 59, Auxiliary to tho Grand
Army of the Bcpublic. It was well attended
and tho exercises wero of a very impressive
character. Members of watkin Waters Post

attendance and Mr. Joel I.eddon presided.

When "Miss Philadelphia" was produced
as a venture on the tail cud of last season m

as to tho longth of its career, yet on tho very
first night it caught tho popular fancy with
Its light frivolities, pretty music and really
clover dialogue. Iufact.it was tho ono lug
hit of all last season iu that city, nnd for om
hundred nights crowded tho theatre at cery
porformauce. Now it comes to our town.

with all Baltimore and Washington, where it
played to phenomenal receipts, singing its
praises. It Is tho joint work pf l'.dgar Smith,
who wrote tho book, nnd Herman Perlet who
composed tho music. These two gentlemen
have done much in this lino before, but in
"Miss Philadelphia" aro said to havo struck
their happiest vein. Tho music has a swing
and stir to it that is sure to impicss ono, and
make it popular In tho street, whllo tho liue-
