...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.

Bonebrake, who has a name upon which sports publicity men will thrive, raced into the end zone for the touchdown, which amounted to only a consolation prize...
