To Lions in 20-13 Tilt

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-For the
third straight week Columbia sag
ged in the waning moments today
as Cornell's spirited sophomores
stormed back with two touchdowns
in the final 10 minutes to pull a
2O-13 decision out of the chaos that
was Baker Field.
Trailing 1877 after 4:0S Of the
fourth quarter, the Cornell team
that had been bottled up since the
first period started to roll. 1t must
have taken added hope from the
fact that Charles Klemovitch, the
Lions extra point expert, twice
failed to add a vital point after Lou
Kusserow's second touchdown.
Klemovitch missed with the first
try after KuSserow's, tie-breaklng
touchdown but Cornell was guilty OF
defensive holding. The second try
was blocked by Tackle Dick Clark.
Then the Big Red started to come.
With the help of 15-yard penalty
against Columbia for unnecessary
roughness, they moved 81 yards in
seven plays for the big touchdown
that knotted the count at 1913.
A change of pace pass play
from Pete Dorset to Johnny Rogers,
good for "a yards and a score, cli-
NAKED a drive that had been re-
stricted to ground plays.
Penalty Hurts Columbia.
Bob Dean. the sure-footed Cor
nell placement kicker, rushed out to
try for the vital point. His boot was
wide but there was a horn on the
play. Columbia was of side and he
got another chance. This time he
din't miss and Cornell led, 14-13.
Kusserow later faded to pass and
threw a long one down field that
Bob Haley intercepted with an over
the-shoulder catch on his 80.
Once again Cornell was on the
march, slicing 10 yards in six plays
for the touchdown that put them
beyond the reach of the frustrated
Lions.
Frank CMoose) Miller darted
through the entire Columbia club
on a sparkling 33-yard run that
was the best of the afternoon. Trap
ped three times, he changed direc-
ton, reversed his field and finally
bulled across to plant the ball in
the end zone with a couple of Co.
hmbia defenders still clinging to
him.
Lions Hot in Second Period.
It mattered little that Dean
missed the point this time for the
clock was running out and there
were less than three minutes to go.
Driving down field on a 7s-yard
march late in the first period, jeff
Fleischmann, the Reds fine sopho-
more fullback, bulled over from the
Z. Deans placement made it TO.
Columbia dominated the second
quarter which was played almost
entirely in Cornell territory. With
Gene Rossides and Jack Nork TAX
ing to the air the Lions set it up for
Kusserow to skirt his right end
after taking a pitch out from Ross
ides.
Twice Cornell held Columbia to
IKE away the ball in tht third but
the Lions were not to be denied. A
beautiful 50-yard punt return by
Rossides started the drive. From
first down on the 4, Kusserow again
scored on a wide lateral from Ross
ides. Then followed Klemovich's
two extra point failures.
