...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. The defeat, shocking and demoralizing in its suddenness, had a profound effect on players, coaches, and spectators that did not disappear for a long time...

If Martin is healthy, there are few men who can beat him. Sophomore Tony Field, weakened earlier this season by the effects of an operation, will start for the first time today and should help the Crimson cause...
