WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. "a
A colossal Cornell football team, full
of drive and savvy, today handed
Army the most colossal licking in 81
years of Cadet gridiron history.
Operating with even more con-
trolled fury than last years all-win-
ming combination, the big Red team
from Ithaca scored in every period,
piled up seven touchdowns accred-
tied to seven different men, and
wound up on the very large end Of a
$50 score
1t bettered by 26 points the pre-
vious high for an Army shutout, set
by Harvard in 1900, and by 10 points
the previous high score run up on
Army. 1914 by the Princeton team
of 1893.
Cornell Quits Trying.
Cornell got possession of the ball
IS times during the game. End six
times it went down field to touch
downs. The seventh and last touch
down came as the result of a blocked
kick, and at least three other times
the Ithacans didn't even try very
hard, but punted on second or third
down
They had half dozen passers
who connected with Is out of 10
aerials for 201 yards-three touch
down losses covered IS, IS and IS
yards, respectively. They had hard
hitting, free-wheeling runners who
operated behind scythe-like blocking
to pile up 220 yards rushing.
They had linemen who simply
carted the desperate-flghting Army
forwards out Of the way on offensive
and smothered practically every
thing on defense. The secondary
was so efficient that, while the Ca
diets completed II of % passes, at
least half of those we're for no more
than two or three yards.
Army's running attack, a phrase
which was purely complimentary to-
day, was held to 38 yards. The
Cadets didn't get first down until
the last play of the first half, when
they were behind 1870 and tried
an "all-or- nothing heave, and they
got only six in all to the Red
teams 10.
To cap the fantastic, Cornell
scored three times in the last quar-
ter with not a single first down.
One was a 65-yard pass play from
Sub Back Walt Scholl to Sub End
Kasimer Hipolit. The next was a
35-yarder from Sub Back Jack
Bohrman to Scholl. The last was
a blocked kick with Sub Guard Jerry
Cohn blocking and Sub Guard Pete
Wolff recovering for the score.
Soldiers Bewildered.
Up to then Cornell had cracked
the line with lads like Mort Lands
berg, who hit it once for 80 yards
and again for three straight plays,
IT yards, and a score; bewildered,

feinting a plunge in magnificent

he always had the way paved for
him by Capt. Forest Evashevski,
who chopped down would-be tacklers

1t was the seventh meeting since
1881 between these ancient and

eager were the Wolverines to gain
their third consecutive triumph in
this 59-year-old series that they
clipped, jumped offside and put
backs in motion so many times
they were penalized for an amazing
total Of ITO yards.
Those setbacks, however, failed to
deter them at any time. Harvard
started Michigan on its way imme-
diately after the opening kickoff by
interfering with the first pass Har-
mon attempted. That put the VOL
verines in midfield and Harmon and
Westfall alternated before the
former went over from the 14-yard
line on the 18th play of the game.
Early in the second period, Capt.
Joe Gardella, who did not start,
prevented a Michigan score. at
least for a few seconds, by inter-
cepting pass on his 2-yard line.
The Crimson kickers. under orders
to punt away from Harmon, couldn't
get any distance aiming for the

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12.-Penn
showed Yale around Franklin Field
today as if the Ellis were a graded
school football team, rolling up seven
touchdowns and assorted other
points for a 50-to-7 walkaway and
showing power prophetic of more
victories to come.
Francis Xavier Reagan, Penns
senior left halfback, and his under
study. Paul Wexler, ripped the Bull
dog line to tatters and skipped hither
and yon for five touchdowns be-
tween them.
Yales only consolation was the
dubious one, in the worst licking 1t
has ever taken, of staging the pref
test play of the game. This came
in the third period Fred Harrison
star pitcher of the Eli baseball team
tipped a long pass to Al Bartholemy
and the Yale end streaked for Penn's
goal With two Quakers breathing
on his neck. Bartholemy wheeled
slightly and tipped the ball to Billy
Bell, who sped few feet to Touch
down Land.
Brilliant Bit Gains IS Yards.
The nlay carried Yale rs yards
and gave Eli rooters among the
throng of $4,000 their only Joy OF
this Indian summer afternoon.
Coach George Munger's players
lived up to the promise they limited
last Saturday in drubbing Mary
land.
The statistics tell the story as
convincingly as the score. Penn
gained 224 yards from rushing to a
loss of nine for the Blue.
When Yale took to the air. as
the Ellis did repeatedly in desperate
efforts to turn the tide, Penn de-
f1ected the threat, and in the second
period Johnny Welsh grabbed one
of Frank Ellis heaves and raced
"a yards down the sideline for
Penns third touchdown.
