Cornell pulled the expected last week in trampling emphatically on St. Bonaventure to the beat of 55-7. It is what one expects from a Dobie-coached eleven, especially after that canny Scot has made it public that he had a squad as green as green apples and one utterly impossible to groom into a winning team. True, St. Bonaventure may have been another of these "mystery teams" that would have its troubles beating one of the Suburban League High School aggregations here, but the fact that Cornell appeared to pack a lightning "express-train" Dobie-like attack gives Ithacans...
Cornell, after its indifferent success last Saturday against Rochester, has set to work in decided earnest this week.
