In previous years the runner who squirmed along the ground after the ball was declared dead lost only the distance he had gained by so squirming or crawling, and officials were often lax in imposing this small penalty. Consequently it was a great temptation for the players of the defense to pounce upon a player who was fairly tackled and thrown in order to prevent his gaining further distance...

Brooks also played a very strong and aggressive game, shooting four goals, but he was rather lax in covering his man. Simpson excelled for Cornell, throwing four goals and being very fast on the floor. On the whole, the University team showed a marked improvement over past games, and should make a better showing in the second round of the series. HARVARD CORNELL Currie, Allen, l.f. r.f., Burd...
