FOOTBALL.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26, 1896.- Pennsylvania defeated Cornell here today in the last important game of the season before 17,000 people. It was a clean, well-played game in which there was little fumbling and one in which Cornell was clearly outclassed, largely on account of light weight. Cornell played a plucky, uphill game and scored twice on steady plunges through the line by Beacham and Ritchie. It must, however, be said that this was because the Pennsylvania eleven let up somewhat in the speed of its play.

The teams lined up as follows:

PENNSYLVANLA. CORNELL.

Boyle, l. e. r. e., Taussig.
