Ithaca, Nov. S.-The Wolverines ADMIN
i.tered another defeat to the Reo anu
White team to-day when they outpiayea
the Ithacans and beat them by score OF
II n O. The defeat can be attributed 10
the greater strength OF the Michigan
eleven and to lack OF superior ofehc'
for Cornell. The game was hard fought
and II may be said OF both olevens that
every inch of ground gained had TO DC
worked for. Both eleveas were partly
successful with their trick plays.
The criss-cross play by which Gait OF
,,,o,,oan made fifteen yards in the first
quarter was a big surprise to Cornell
likewise the play in which shuleS passes
the ball between his legs to a back VINO
pIunges through tackle was revelation
The effectiveness Of these pleys was soon
lost after being used once or twice anu
for the most part the game consisted oil
straight line plunging and punting
The last part Of the game was charac-
terized BY incessant punting. Apparently
ne,ther team was sure Of It's offence Tor
II there was much ground to be gaiheu
at the end of the second or third down
Hughitt would punt for Michigan ana
Barrett for Cornell. Barretts punts' how
ever. were much longer, averaging htty-
five yards or more.
With four thousand spectators and two
cadet bar dis In attendance Percy f1eld
was filled to capacity. Cornell spirit ran
high and the cheering for the local team
was kept up to the very end. Michigan
was well represented by solid cheering
section of four hundred representatives
and a cadet band.
II was during the first part OF the first
quarter that Craig made the first touch
down for Michigan Up 10 that time no
trick plays had been tried and with the
new crss-cross play Craig made nying
run around Cornells right end with no
one within eight yards OF him. Patter-
son kicked the goal.
In the next quarter Cornell took brace
and for a while seemed TO be too strong
for the Wolverines defence The tide of
battle flowed back and forth. but in gen
eral the playing showed that Michigan
had the better team. Barrett tried field
goal from the i5-yard line and several OF
his forward passes failed. Soon after the
second half was started. Michigan rushed
The ball to Conell's 30-yard line. A pen
atty 10 Corr ell brought the ball 10 the %
, yard line and Captain Patterson kicked
the goal
Spurred by this good showing Michigan
rushed the ball within fifteen yards OF
the goal. series of rushes gave them
first down and Hughitt rolled over the
line for the second and last touch
OWN. Patterson kicked tho goal. APP
parently the Red and White eleven at
this point awakened to the fact that a
big score was being rolled up against
them. for the offence momentarily
strengthened and the team rushed down
to Michigan's goal at an alarming rate.
II was too late. however, and time was
called while signals were being given on
the courtyard line
Neither team scored in the last quarter
Punt after punt was made by Hughitt
and Barrett, AMI for the greater part OF
the time the elevens simply ran back and
forth the length Of the field. Corners
ends were slow In running down punts
Frequently Craig would escape them for
25-yard run. Fritz. however. rivalled
Craig for his team. for frequently II took
several men TO down him and his end
runs did much TO help Cornell In attain
ing first downs.
