ITHACA, N. z, Oct. 2s.-The setting
sun tinged the waters of Lake Cayugs
with a red glow this evening AZ the
big red team Cornsal ended the slaugh-
ter of Dartmouth with a final score Of
SO TO 7. 1t was the most devastating
carnage for a Dartmouth football team
in the history of athletic relations be-
tween the two institutions. and is was
more than sweet for Gil Dobie's team,
being the first victory over the Gyeen

struggling on the gridiron.
Cornell had shown in her esr1ier
games this season that she had team
OF great scoring possibilities, as wit
ness her total OF % 7points to up 70
to-day. But there were those who
claimed before this afternoons con-
test that Dobie's pupils had not met
any resistance worthy of the name and
that Dartmouth would halt this scor-
ing machine that fattened on fragile
oppc nents.
Cornell gave her answer to-day. Ne
Dartmouth man felt like argu.ng the
matter further. After a short period
OF hesitation at the start the big Red
team found itself and started TO trampie
down all opposition, much as the Brit
