ITHACA, N. Y. Oct. 26.-Cor-
nell's fine football team had to
come from behind today to keep its
record intact, but was tremendously
impressive in doing so as it walloped
Ohio State. 2l-7. in the big Reds
first and only intersectional game
of the year.
In its first three games this sea-
son. Cornell was able to get of in
front and keep rolling. But this
afternoon, before capacity crowd
of 34.5O0 in Schoellkopf Stadium.
the Ithacans were rocked right back
on their heels by the Buckeyes pow
erful opening drive, yet, had poise,
power and all-around proficiency
enough to make it a runaway in the
second half.
OF these three, poise probably
was the most important. Almost
any other team might have been
thrown completely off stride by the
89-yard scoring march Ohio State
put on the first time it got the ball.
Cornell STRIKES BACK.
But not this team, now unbeaten
in 16 straight games. Cornell came
back to go Al yards for the tyeing
touchdown in the second quarter.
and in the second half not only
throttled the Ohio State attack
down to A yards. but drove 81 yards
once to 60 out in front and capl-
talized on break for the final score.
The victory was at price, how
ever. as Kirk Hershey. fine end who
had returned to action after a two
game absence, went out for the rest
of the year with an aggravation OF
his knee injury. and Howard Dun
bar, playing with mask to pro-
tect his broken nose, had 1t broken
again.
Ohio, after its opening march,
couldn't do anything. The big.
bruising Buckeyes got inside the
Cornell IS only once again, on a re-
covered tumble a few minutes after
their touchdown. From then on they
got to the IS, and no farther, twice.
On that scoring drive. the Buck
eyes looked as if they could keep
rolling all day. Tom Kinkade, Jim
Langhurst and Hard Working Don
Scott who played without relief,
pounded into and around the Cor
nell line. Without throwing a single
pass, they hammered to six straight
first downs, the last of them on the
Cornell l, and sent Langhurst driv-
Ing through the middle from there.
Steam Goes Out Of Buckeyes.
Scott added the extra point and
1t looked very much as If the West
ern Conference team was on Its
way to revenge for last years trim
ming.

With All-American tackle Nick
Drahos kicking the point. that
made it TT. 1t stayed that way until
Walt Pop Scholl came in for
Mccullough late in the third
quarter. Three plays by this spark
plug covered 48 yards and took
the ball to the 5. from where Lou
Bufalino went over on the first play
of the final period.
Mccullough came back in again
and set up the clincher by making
one of Cornell's five pass intercept
tions, which he returned from the
Ohio 81 to the Is. From there. it
was Bufalino again all the way on
a reverse that started wide, then
cut back over the Buckeye right
tackle.
