to disconcert the Cornell players and the
more agile Chicago men were crowding
their opponents for heavy gains in the last
fifteen minutes Of play.
The Cornell line had been impervious to
| Chicago's attacks in the first half, although
the eastern players had crumpler both
centers and ends Of Chicago in the early
plays. Both teams were weak on the use
of the forward pass in the first half and a
tumble by Steffen was responsible for the
first Cornell touchdown. The punting OF
Valdez had not been overated In the ad-
vance tldings given the Chicago players
and the great kicking of the Cornell cap
tain cast gloom over the hopes Of Chicago
In the first half. The game was the final
one TO be played in Chicago and at its
finish Chicago players were escorted to
their training quarters by a great crowd of
shouting admirers.
