  Dartmouth Victor Over Cornell Eleven by II to 8 thud and then bounded over the Cornell goal line. While some OF the Cornell ians stood as if stunned Holbrook planted his anatomy on top OF the ball and gave Dartmouth a touchdown. Again Cunningham kicked the boal. and 1t was Dartmouth II. Cornell 8. Later in that period another OF Carey’s kicks was blocked. but the job was only half done, and the punter recovered the ball ON his own 20-yard line. AS the game rolled along toward tho finish Cornell began to unlimber q bit of forward passing attack. Neither the Cornell pass nor the Dartmouth fling was thing of expertness. Both teams need lot OF drilling in that department. Toward the end Cornell worked a pass for eleven yards, and was encouraged to try another, but Jordan ran in and intercepted it. This was only q return for Mayors intercepting a forward pass thrown by Bower in the third period in Cornell territory. One of the features of that third quarter was the loss Of the ball on downs by both Cornell and Dartmouth. Dartmouth was first to suffer. With four down and only two yards to go. the Green tried forward pass. 1t grounded and Cornell got the ball. 1t did not look like good football to at tempt pass at that time. When Cor nell tried to rush the ball it could not make the distance, and Dartmouth got the ball back, on It’s own 47-yard mark. In the fourth period Cornell again held for downs on it’s own 5-yard line The Green needed only two yards to make first down. but Shelburne got only one and Dartmouth lost the bali, and perhaps another touchdown. In the fourth period Dartmouth rushed Cornell off its feet, the Hanoverians getting six first downs. as against only one for the Red. In all, Dartmouth got eleven first downs. while Cornell got three, two of them coming in the second quarter. Carey Kicks Goal. Events which led to Carey’s kicking his splendid field goal in the second period started with Cornelrs putting the ball in play on its own % yard mark after punt from Robertson. Carey got two yards and added seven more. Mayer made 1t first down. Mayer ran twenty yards on a fake forward pass The next play saw Cor nell put the pass into execution, but the attempt failed. Kaw made few yards and reached Dartmouth’s 35 yard line. Carey tried the line and failed Then he dropped back to kick the goal from Al yards The crowd was as cosmopolitan as the big city, with thousands of adherents from the rival institutions. Cor nell and Dartmouth sent down their student bands, and these, with the gymnastic student cheer leaders, helped to make the afternoon a lively one. The lineup: Cornell 90 Dartmouth 30
