  CORNELL BEATS COLUMBIA, l4-O Minus HaughtOn, New York Eleven Is Defeated ITHACA, N. Y., Nov. 1.-Haughton formations, Haughton technique, the fighting Haughton system of football that clicked at Harvard and seemed about to repeat at Columbia-all these Captain Koppisch and his Blue and White team carried onto the field against Cornell today. They were not enough. The compelling, vibrant per- sonality of Percy D. Haughton himself was not there, and Columbia lost, IA to o. Haughton’s system without Haughton himself sitting out there watching still provides brilliant, cour- ageous football, but without the coach himself to breathe into it something of himself, it is dead thing-just a system. Opposed to the spirit of HaughtOn was Gil Dobie, the crafty, pessimistic schemer whose ability to mess college boys into football machines is similar to that of the late Columbia coach. Cornell won with two typical Dobie touchdowns. In the second quarter, Pease, the Columbia quarter whose delft fingers rarely miss, fumbled punt. Evans and Affeld took the ball for Cor nell. Molinet, the Cuban back who was making his first appearance in a game on Schoelkopf field, rammtd three times through the Columbia line. The last plunge carried him across the line. Cuban Is Plunger After the midtime intermission, Pease attempted forward pass. Isaly in tercepted and again MOlinet plunged with the ball to the goal posts. Whet- stone called himself through the line and scored. Fourteen thousand Cornell rooters screamed encouragement to the team. A thousand Columbia men and women looked on incredulous while they called for a rally for the sake of Haughton. The Cornell tackled hard and ends covered Koppisch and Pease, the New Workers two backfield threats. At no time did either seriously threaten the Cornell goal line. Even the dazzling Columbia aerial loosed in the fourth quarter did no more than throw a momentary scare into the Cornell camp. Columbia’s best chance to score came at the very opening of the game when the New York eleven forced Cornell down to their goal and closed in sharply on Whetstone as he kicked to safety from behind his goal posts. Columbia Forces Fighting Columbia with wind behind her back forced the fighting in the first quar- ter. Then came the break. Evans and .Affeld of Cornell recovered Pease’s tumble of q, punt as the second period
