...University won the toss and elected to defend the south goal. Mueller kicked off for Cornell and T. C. Thach Jr., '18 ran the ball back to the 35-yard line. Horween punted, after Cornell was off-side and R. Harte '17 tackled Shiverick, who had recovered the 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...
Captain Dadmun then kicked off and Cornell began a rush down the field which the University was unable to stop, and which ended only when Shiverick's try at a field goal went wild. An exchange of punts together with Benedict's fumble which Wheeler recovered gave the University the ball, and Horween got off his best punt of the day, which went 65 yards to the Ithacans five-yard line. Robinson ran Shiverick's subsequent punt to the 30-yard line, and from there made an unsuccessful attempt at a field goal. Cornell's other flash of power...

Brewer '19 netted 28 yards. Brewer making...

LeGore's usual phenomenal playing was marred by weak kicking. He had a drop-kick and a punt blocked. Bingham at left half showed up very well except for several fumbles. A feature of the game was the substitute's showing...
