got going the Ithacans fell back in
wild disorder and were overwhelmed
by a score of 81 to O.
The Pennsylvania eleven confined
its scoring activities to two quarters,
collecting 13 points in the second and
"a in the fourth. 1t gathered five
touchdoWns, goals from four of them
and field goal. To Howard Berry
went the credit for scoring 10 points,
as ne accounted for two touchdownS,
all Of the four goals from touchdoWnS
and the drop kick that sent the ball
sailing over the bar from the 1S-yard
mark for the final tally of the battle.
Big as the score was, it was eX-
pected to be even bigger, for against
the veteran Pennsylvania eleven that
had whipped Dartm outh and Michigan
and fought the great Pittsburgh team
to a standstill, Cornell sent a lot of
inexperienced players who had been
overwhelmed by Michigan, AZ to O..
Cornell looked for a defeat even worse
than the 5O-to-O whipping it got from
Penn when they inaugurated their Sc
ries back in 1898, and, in view of the
conditions, the 1thacans did them
selves proud.

\ Only a small crowd was on hand to

the toss and chose to defend the north

kick off, rough work was noticeablo
on both sides. The ball seesaWed up

attack was repulsed ~ne and again

tires on an automobile. In nearly every case where a car has gone off a noun tain grade or run into a ditch beside the road or turned turtle, investiga- tions have disclosed the fact that one of the tires evidently blew out. It Is natural, however, for everyone to drive his tires until the last ounce of wear in them is used. That Is the only place the average motorist tries to econ omize.
 In order to reduce the possibility of blow-outs, John F. Palmer inventor of the cord tire, studied for years to pro- duce an inner tube that would have more than just the ability to hold air without leaking. It is a known fact the average inner tube will withstand an air pressure of about 35 pounds be- fore blowing up, so it is not hard to understand why tires blow out when the side walls of the casing are broken or worn to the tread.
 MT. Palmer eXerted his best energies to devise a scheme whereby a tire could be reinforced with Sea Island cord, the same as concrete buildings are reinforced with steel.
 1 The great difficulty was in the weay- 1 ing a mesh that would be as flexible as the walls of the tube and have the
