Before the game was ten minutes old
the Cornell push had popeyeitis. They
thought Hammond was peopled chiea
with rubes, jaspers and celluloid collars
They found their rcoters out-kidded ANA

win, but Frank Blocker's boys pulled
the pin feathers out o. their tails They
Dragged ever tho g;tmeness of their

Nearly every play saw some Cornell
man lying on the ground. There were
so many Cornell corks blown that IT
sounded like an artillery combat in the
Verdun sector Hammond never saw
such a surprised and disappointed team
and supporters as the Cornells and the
game will go doNE in history ,as
tribute to the glory o. the Hammond
eleven and the immortal Paddy Driscon.
