Ithaca. " Y, Oct. 2l.-Cornell defeated
Washington and Jefferson to-day by a
score Of 70 O. The score would have
been three times as large had the Cornell
team been a degree more careful. In the
opening and closing periods the Red team
took tho hall within the 5-yari mark, but
each time failed I'm tnc last struggle In
the lest instance the failure was particu-
larly reprehensible, in view Of the 7)-yard
march down the field which directly pre-
ceded the play.
