...Ithacans by the score of 23 to 0 Saturday afternoon in the fastest game played in the Stadium this season. It was a victory of alertness over power; despite the advantage in weight and experience, the Red and White eleven was too slow and too careless in handling the ball to be able to make the most of the few opportunities it had to be dangerous. Of the six fumbles made, five by Cornell and one by the University, the Crimson recovered them all, and two of them were directly responsible for touchdowns...
...work of the week. The first of these was between teams A and B, which fought for a short time without either side being able to score. Then the Freshmen were brought on the field and sent against team A for ten minutes. The University was given the ball and within two minutes E. L. Casey '19 broke through for a 65-yard run to the 1920 goal line, but was called back because he had gone out of bounds. There was no other score or chance to score for either team during the rest of the scrimmage, which ended...
...defensive for this short time. After R. Horween '18 had intercepted a pass and had run it back 25 yards, team A was dismissed to run through signals, and team B took its place.

The University then rushed the ball down the field and scored a touchdown when W. Willcox '17 crossed the second's goal line. The University took the ball on its 40-yard line and scored again soon...
...only score of the game came in the third period and was made by A. Horween, who crossed the line for a touchdown after a succession of good line bucks together with a long, well-executed forward pass had brought the ball to Tech's 5-yard line. The attempt to kick a goal failed, the ball hitting the goal post. The Freshmen had several other chances to score, especially in the first half, but a poor choice of plays together with faulty interference and the stiffening of the Tech line at the crucial moment prevented further touchdowns...
Although it held Brown scoreless in the first half of Saturday's game, Williams was unable to prevent three touchdowns in the second half. The victory was no easy one for Brown, however, for Williams put up a stiff fight and in fact had the ball on Brown's two-yard line at the end of the game. The game was marked by few penalties and fumbles in contrast to the games played by the University's other opponents...
