Weather permitting, the varsity will work on pass defense today against a Cornell-type aerial attack. Ithacan quarterback Rocco Calvo was a pre-season favorite to be the key passer in Lefty James' offense, but Coach Jordan said yesterday that his scouting reports revealed sophomore quarterback Jack Jaeckel to be the best all-around Cornell hurler.

Then the rebels fled, or were killed or captured. Their airplanes ran out of gas or flew off to Honduras. Colonel Tito Calvo was reportedly captured and shot. Dr. Arturo Romero, Paris trained skin specialist and civilian leader of the revolt, may have found sanctuary in the Mexican Embassy...
