Cornell defeated Williams this afternoon

The Ithacans played brilliantly in spots,
but they went to sleep for about seven
minutes in the last period and gave Will
Jams two touchdowns. That and the
brilliant work of Lewis and Ains!!e. of
the Williams hack field accounted for the
Williams score
Williams got first blood when Naglc
kicked field goal from the 3O-yard line.
Cornell. however, soonn recovered a punt
on Williams 3o-yard line. and in wv"
plays O'Conncr and Whyte took the oval
L. the 1-yard line. when time was called

Butler was showed over
In the third period Cornell gave the
best example of offensive work Of the
year, taking the ball from Williams 30
yard line on straight, nld-fashiuned foot
ball through tn" line for touchdown.
But in the fourth period the IthaCans
were caught mapping. After an exchange
of punts and penalties, which put the
ball in COrnclls territory, Nagle tossed
men. Lewis caught it and was off for
touchdown, Butler stopping, but not
throwing him. yards from the posts
This put nerve in Williams. while Cor
