of the playing OF Captain Grey, of Oherlin the
game was uninteresting. Cornell scored twice as

Oberln scored first when Grey received Tyde-

it eighty yards for a touchdown. On the whole
his work was the feature of the game; his running
was brilliant, his judgment good and his defence

runner for a loss, and al times the best efforts
could not net the distance. Baker, of Cornell
handled the forward pass we'll, getting away with
