Stadium Well Filled.

The Dig amphlthedlIe was hlmOsI
full, too. II takes more than vintry
winds 20 keep the true football fans
at home. Cornell came down from
ithaca a good 600 strong, and the
cheering and singing carried more
snap and vlgor than the wind.
Harvard undergraduates did not
neglect any o. the little thrills, either.
and plainly accepted this battle with
Cornell as really big game. Even
the big II" bloomed forth between
halves in the Harvard cheering section
by the waving of handkerchiefs, and
altogether tht scene carried the late
November touches.
When the game was over and Cor
nell came to full realization OF the
victory and its sweetness, a striking
and most acceptable acknowledgment
came. In place of the wild dash 70
the gridiron and the rollicking snake
dance, the Cornell men stood in their
places, and sang their college hymn.
Then they hurried across the field
and. grouping before the Harvard sec
tion. cheered for Harvard as few
moments before they had beer cheer
ing for the team. IL was a graceful
way 20 show their elation.
Cornell Wins the Toss.
Returning to the game. Captain Bar
rett was lucky enough 70 call the turn
on the toss Of the coin. and without
hesitancy chose TO defend the north
east goal with that booming wind AT his
back. Il was a distinct advantage and
quickly counted. Harvard kicked of,
Shiverick ran the ball back fifteen
yards. and Barrett. punting on the
first down. sent II swirling across the
far-distant Harvard goal line Cor a
touchback.
Harvard brought the ball out 10 the
2O-yard line. made a scant five yards
in two plunges and then fumhled. They
said il was Mahan. Anyway. the ball
was fumbled and shelton. wideawake
fell on il for Cornell on Harvard's %
yard line.
Captain Barrttt then cut loose the
full power Of the Cornell attack. real
,zing that the opportunity was there TO
win before the Crimson could fairly
settle 20 the task
lie tore off four yards in plunge
OF tackle. Shiverick did the same, and
then Barrett crashed through for six
more and a first down. as the Cornell
undergraduates falflN lost tnelr reason.
Collins was stopped for gain OF only
one yard. but some Harvard man In his
eagerness was Of side and the penalty
OF five yards put an extra burden on
the Crimson line as the ball was only
four yards away from the goal posts.
Shiyerick ploughed along for three Of
these four yards, and then Captain
Barrett fairly hurled himself at Gil
man and scored a touchdown by the
margin Of an inch or two. A moment
later he kicked the goal and Cornell, as
IL turned out. had won.
From that point the battle was fair
ly evenly waged in the mere matter Of
ground gained by one side or the other.
but always Cornell pressed closely and
held what advantage there was.
lthicans Dangerous Again.
Soon after the next kickoff Cornell
again worked the ball into Harvard ter
ritory. and Barrett tried drop kick
for goal from the 26-yard line. The
ball was blocked. but Collins fell on
II for Cornell, thus offering another
chance. Five yards was the best that
the running attack cloud produce. so
that Barrett again fell back to the 25-
yard line for a try at goal. but the
