...fourth quarter in last Saturday's football game, Cornell fullback Phil Taylor took a pass from quarterback Dave McKelvey, got past two Harvard defenders, and scored on a 76-yard touchdown play that put the Big Red ahead for the first time all afternoon, 18 to 16. It hardly mattered that McKelvey passed to John Sadusky in the end zone for two more points; the varsity had lost after building up a seemingly insurmountable lead.

Chuck Taylor at right half also ran well; and Bill Hatch, playing second-string right half, scored a touchdown from the 20-yard line...
