Cornell seemed to have brought the rushing Colgate backs to standstlll. From the very outset In tho first period Colgate took the offensive, two forward passes soon brought the Up Staters to the 20-yard line where Cor nell braced and West tried q goal from placement, the first of a series, all Of which failed. Five minutes later West tried another goal from placement from the 40-yard line. After an exchange of punts, Gillo, Watkins and Laird rushed from mid field to the Cornell 17-yard line, but here Clio fumbled. Strauss recovered 1t, giving Cornell a life. In the second period Colgate resumed the attack and reached the 10-yard line by rushing, only to lose the ball when Gillo muffed 1t again and Mayer recovered for Cornell. Shivericks kick out was poor Anderson brought the ball to the 25-yard line. Watkins Crosses Line. After a few line plays, Anderson made side pass to Watkins who, unopposed, crossed Cornel’s goal line. Colgate came through again when An derson made his long run, and the half ended with Cornell beaten. Another series of rushes in the third period, fine forward pass, Anderson TO Watkins, that gained twenty yards, and finally another IL yard pass, also to Watkins, gave Colgate her last score, The last period was evenly fought. Cornell sent in substitute backs, Clio being quite badly hurt. Mayer and Sutton played best for Cornell, Shivericks punting helped occasionally, but his kicks were poorly covered and some of them were too hurried to get the true distance.
