...failure. In the second period Cornell advanced from its 35-yard line by a series of rushes to the University's 25- yard line, from which spot Shiverick's hurried drop kick was almost blocked. Cornell's defense was by no means impregnable. Both teams showed ability to gain ground at one time or another through their opponent's line, but the Ithacans tendency to drop the ball lost for them many chances to advance in the University's territory. The almost entire absence of penalties against either side was a feature of the game. Cornell was off-side...

...University second team played a 0-0 game with Groton yesterday at the latter's field. The ground was slippery and the ball difficult to handle. Groton's strong line held well throughout the game, and the second team backs found difficulty in making consistent gains. In the third quarter the second team was held for down on Groton's five yard line, an attempted forward pass failing on the fourth down. Again in the last quarter, Groton intercepted a forward pass on the 20-yard line, and prevented a score. Groton came near scoring in the second period, when...
