afternoon.
Cornell to-day was not as impressive
as the big red machine we saw in Phil.
adelphia last Thanksgiving. There is
not the same smoothness nor finosse
last years eleven possessed. Which is
net greatly surprising. considering
that Dobie is working with a green
line Nevertheless. the Comedians at
this stage possess considerable power
and are team that will have to be
reckoned with before the end of the
season.
The backs. Captain Kaw. Ramsey,
Pfann and Post, are all hard running
fellows who are not easily thrown.
Columbia's high and ineffective tack
llng was made to order fer the Ithacan
backfield, which has learned we'll the
art of running low and hard
AS the game progressed the Cornell
line improved and in the third quarter
the team was galloping along in fine
style. Columbia's line WAS simply a
row of dummies, who were tossed
around like so many meaisacks. Against
she powerful charging Of the Cornell
Aaans they were practically helpless.
1t was pitiful TO see great back
like Captain Koppiseh carried under in
che malestrom. He was great even in
defeat. In doing most of The defensive
work and in trying vainly TO instil
some of his own fighting spirit into his
team mates he played himself out and
was forced to withdraw in the latter
part of the third period. AS he dragged
his weary legs from the field the Cor

during the time he was in, also played
well, but others might as we'll have
been sitting on the side lines. The
work Of the entire Columbia line, from
end to end, was wretched. Time and
again those individuals stood in their
tracks as Cornell back went tearing
along with his interference to the sec
ondary defense. The Blue and White
backs did virtually all of the tackling.
The others didn't even leave their feet
TO try to bring down the runner.
Shows Life at Start
During the first five minutes Of the
game Columbia did show some life.
attacking with vim and vigor. Jumpiny
TO their positions from the conference
formation, which Illinois uses so much.
1t brought the ball we'll down into the
territory OF the enemy, but the visitors
never had the necessary punch to
keep going.
After this first spasmodic furry the
Solumbians began slowly to succumb.
There came an exchange of punts with
Cornell having the better success in
this end. One Of Cornell's punts was
an onside kick, which Columbia oblig-
ingly let roll and which Cornell almost
recaptured on the Blue and White d
yard line. Gehrig was forced to pune
from behind his own goal line Kaw
caught this kick on the dead run on
the Columbia s5-yard line and never
stopped until he had crossed the line
Tor the first touchdown of the game.
Several Columbians tagged him as. he
sped along the side lines.
shortly after that run Kaw inter-
cepted forward pass deep in Colum-
bfa's territory and ran to the 17-yard
line. There was dumb play here not
only by Columbia but also on the part
Of the officials. Kaw IN his dash along
the side lines stepped outside on the
S0-yard line, but not one official saw
him. Captain Koppisch's protest fell
upon deaf ears.
I'm .iS 1i-ydiQ ilile nav and Ram
sey bucked their way through the
crumbling Columbia line to the 5yard
mark, from where Ramsey went over
with bound. After that touchdown
the Columbia forwards collapsed com
pletely, and the Ithacan backs were
able to plow through at will. Now
the Columbia secondary defense be-
gan to take the gaff, and had it not
been for koppisch and Canapary the
score would have been larger. Al
least, those fellows delayed Cornell in
obtaining it's total.
After the next kickoff Cornell
marched steadily to the Columbia a.
yard line: From there Pfann, behind
spiendid interference, ran TO the Blue
and White 10-yard mark. He would
have gone over had not Koppisch over
taken him and thrown him with a
beautiful tackle. On three PLAYS with
hamsey carrying the ball Cornell was
over for its third touchdown. Hanson
kicked the goal. He kicked seven OF
tne eight goals from touchdowns. Sund-
ssrom made the other.
Mixed In Forward Passes
Cornell now began to mix in few
FORWARD passes with its rushes. Two
swift tosses over the center of the line
the first from Kaw to Pfann, the sec
Ohu A1oui lam To RAMSEY, put Cor
nell on the 15-yard mark. Here Cor
nell suffered penalty of five yards for
offside play, but Kaw promptly tossed
. forward pass to Pfann, who went over
for touchdown.
Cornell came back in the third ne
Tfod stronger than ever. In this one
period the Ithacans put over four
touchdowns, mostly by rushing. Ram
sey and Pfann did most of the work in
scoring the fifth touchdown. Kaw was
the chief ground gamer in annexing
the sixth touchdown. Taking the bali
on double pass, he broke through
the line of scrimmage. Again Koppisch
was called upon TO overtake the runner
and TO bring him to earth. That dash
and tackle, which we're as inspiring as
his first diving tackle. finished the Co
lurnbia leader. From the 10-yard line.
where Ksw was downed, Pfann in two
successive rushes went over the line.
The seventh touchdown was made bv
Kaw. who, catching punt on Colum-
bias 34yardl line, galloped right
through TIE entire field for a touch
dewn. There was no Koppisch on hand
this time TO stop him. Roderick did
nail him as he crossed the line. Just
before the third period closed Ramsey
ran from midfeld to the 13-yard line.
