Capt Fritz Shiverick rose to the occasion two minutes before the final whistle blew on Schoellkopf Field this afternoon and sent the ball straight and true over the goal posts from the 80 yard line. giving Cornell q 3 to 0 victory over Williams. The Ithacans outplayed and outrushed the Purple all afternoon. but they lacked the punch and the pep TO score by the touchdown route. They forced the play into Williams territory practically all of the time. Once they rushed from mid field to the 10 yard line. once TO the 10 and three times they were inside OF the 25. but Williams blocked the slow start ing Cornell backfield and forced Shiverick to kick. -Four times he tried to send the ball muddy field were too much for his genius. Each time Williams got a breathing spell and put the ball In play after touch back. Rain soal<s Field. An all day rain soaked the field and a steady drizzle during the contest COW cred the players with mud and made good going almost out OF the question. Cornell fumbied frequently.

  STRONG EIEVENS WILL MEET NTWO CONTESTS THIS WEEK Colgate Cornell, Penn State-Dartmouth Games Should Furnish Brilliant Foot BalHO Other Grid Gossip. now and November II tho usual re suits are not desired suits are not desired. Lehigh’s IT to defeat Of Rutgers probably was the greatest surprise OF last weeks games. The Pennsyivamans had everything their own way against the Jerseyiter. Lehigh’H VIC tory and Lafayettes fine showing against Princeton leads one to believe that there should be some grid iron battle the day Leh!gh and La fayette meet in their annual setto’ North Carolina University suffered its second consecutive defeat at the hands OF a northern institution Sat urday. when 1t took a 81 to whip ping from Yale. North Carolina scored its one touchdown when North Car olina player fell on punt back o, Yale’s goal after a Yale man nad juggled the ball. Washington and Lee had difficult time defeating Davidson oy 10 “. The Generals evidently are not SO strong this year as when tneir sreat a eleven of 1915 was cavorting on srldirons in various sections of the country. The Virginia Polytechnic Institute. which appears here this week against GeorgetoWn. beat Richmond College by 81 to o-three touchdowna Vlrginia could not score against Rich mond College. v. 2. I. probably has the heaviest backfield in the south, the quartet averaging 1ss pounds. The Blacksburg collegians undoubtedly are coming here this week with every intention of putting up a great fight against Georgetown. Minnesota failed to defeat Nebraska. Everybody practically conceded the former a victory. following Nebraska’s 19-to-e defeat at the hands OF University of Iowa the week before. However, the best Minnesota could get out of the game was a 6-to-6 tie, Nebraska evening UP the count in Pennsylvania ran up 50 points against Delaware College, the largest score made on Franklin Field in thirty-three years. Cornell barely defeated Williams. a field goal by Shiverick turning. the trick. 3 to 0. The Ithacans will have to play much better foot ball this week if they expect to get away with the Colgate eleven Chicago, 1924; Great Lakes. Ga far different story about the Great Lakes elevens this year from last. Illinois did not make as strong a showing against Purdue as was expected by those familiar with Purdues poor showing of week prevf- Gus. The Illinois eleven barely won by a margin of one touchdown, II to Z. Gallaudet opened its season with q victory over Mount st. Mary’s, beat ing the Marylanders by to O.. The Kendall Green combination showed great strength on the defensive at two critical moments, and Coach Hughes is much pleased with the performance as a whole. Hughes be- Neves that Gallaudet is going to have one OF its best seasons In years.
