Cornell scored after ten minutes, when Sanford’s poor punt out from behind his line gave the Ithacans the ball on Colgate’s 11-yard line. They rushed it over in five plays. IN the second period Cornell gave perhaps the best exhibition Of the game, rushing the ball from their own 20 to Coigate’s 15yard line in six first downs, Ramsey starring in the drive.
