...first time this year the University opened up its style of play, keeping Cornell guessing with its many and varied kinds of forward passes. Captain Dadmun's team sucessfully completed five passes and intercepted two of the Ithacans' few tries, while Cornell was unable to complete a single toss and intercepted but one of the University's passes. The type of play used so successfully against the University by Tufts was turned to the advantage of the Crimson with good result...

...punt on the two-yard line. An exchange of punts kept the ball in the Ithacans' territory, and the University started a rush down the field. Horween and E. L. Casey '19 alternated in carrying the ball to within the ten-yard line, from which point an unsuccessful forward pass went over the goal line for a touchback. A double exchange of kicks gave the Crimson the ball in the middle of the field and a second rush was begun, this time reaching Cornell's 15-yard line, at which spot W. F. Robinson '18 dropped back and placed...

Murray kicked the goal. Thacher, who was playing a strong defensive game, intercepted two Cornell passes in this period, but no advantage could be made of either of these breaks...

...final quarter the play was continually in Cornell's half of the field, but the substitutes sent in at this point were unable to pierce the Ithacans' defense. Speed intercepted Murray's forward pass but on the next play when tackled by H. Coolidge '19 he dropped the ball Sweetser recovering and making the third touchdown. H. W. Mino '17 kicked the goal. Casey and Horween played a powerful offensive game, who, with Thacher for defense, compose the best backfield combination started this year...

...remains to be seen. It isn't likely the Crimson will produce anything elaborate on attack; it's difficult to see how she can. Cornell, judging from the Bucknell game, isn't as far along as she'd like to be, either. Trouble on the ends has stayed the forward rush of the eleven. So far as making or breaking Harvard is concerned, the game may do the same for Cornell...
