University of Pennsylvania yesterday defeated Cornell in the annual football game of the two universities by the score of 12 to 11, in one of the most exciting games that has ever been played on Franklin Field. In the first half, Cornell clearly outplayed Pennsylvania, Tydenan scoring a touchdown, and Coffin kicking the goal from touchdown and a goal from placement. Pennsylvania was unable to gain consistently, and so failed to score, thus making the score at the close of the half: Cornell, 11; Pennsylvania, 0. The tables were turned in the second half, however, when Pennsylvania by aggressive attack scored twelve points on touchdowns by Bennett and Torrey, after both of which Gardiner kicked goals.
