...Crimson, paced by the running, passing, and receiving of halfback Chet Boulris, had raced to a 16-0 lead early in the second half. But Cornell slowly battled back. The Big Red tallied for the first time in the third quarter after an interference penalty gave them the ball deep in Harvard territory. The visitors scored again midway in the fourth period, on a 26-yard pass from McKelvey to Taylor after Crimson quarterback Charlie Ravenel had fumbled. Still, Cornell had failed on both its extra point attempts, and the varsity's 16-12 margin seemed safe enough. However...
...game to watch tomorrow will be in Ithaca, N.Y., where Cornell--if it's permissible to use the word now--will meet second-place Yale. Cornell coach Lefty James apparently likes to win his ball games after the fans have headed towards their cars. His Big Red team eked out a 20-15 win over non-Ivy Colgate three Saturdays ago with 19 seconds left to play. And last week, of course, Cornell won with 24 seconds left, in a local game that Cambridge residents would just as soon forget...
Midway in the final period, Cornell capitalized on a Crimson fumble to score again. Ravenel let a handoff squirt out of his hands on the 33, and Bidwell, grabbing the ball in mid-air, moved to the 26. On the very next play, Marcello Tino's pass to Taylor was complete for the touchdown...
Mudd scored the first goal for the Crimson with 18:10 gone in the opening quarter. Halfback Bill Rapp dropped a perfect pass right in front of the Cornell nets, and the entire center of the varsity line charged en masse, sending everything--ball, goalie, and a few stray defenders--rolling into the goal. Mudd gave the ball the final nudge...
...break came at 19:40. Charlie Steele sent a pass to inside Bruce Johnstone in front of the Cornell goal. As Holmes came out to meet him, Johnstone passed the ball to his right, where Mudd, again in the right place at the right time, had a short, unobstructed shot at the goal. Even though the varsity concentrated entirely on defense for the last two minutes, Cornell still could not get the ball out of its own territory...
