  Clint Frank Again Mosterful As Yale Defeats Cornell, 90; Holland Is Great on Defense block on Cornell’s safety man by AL Hessberg. The touchdown climaxed brilliant all-around days work by the Eli leader. Franks aerial guns were spiked by Cornell’s alert defense. except for brief interlude in the third quarter, but he rolled up heavy yardage on the ground besides sharing the games defensive honors with Cornell’s giant Negro end, Jerome (Brud) Holland of Auburn, N. Y. Frank, among others. was nailed behind the line several times by Holland, but the Yale captain gained an aggregate of 145 yards by other routes from scrimmage out of Yale’s total rushing advance of 23o yards. Frank also completed two passes for gains OF A yards. 1t wasn’t any fault of the Eli leader that his end zone tosses twice skidded through the hands of the intended receiver, Johnny Miller. Cornelrs rugged line. paced by Holland. thrust back three Yale threats with the goal line from 10 to 20 yards away, but the big Red forces were out-classed on the offensive from start to finish. The Ithacans regis tered only three first downs, to Yale’s IL, picked up only one yard to Yale’s four from scrimmage, and produced no serious passing threat. Three of Cornell’s five passes were intercepted, two of them by Francis Gallagher, Eli center from Fairfield, Conn. The first of these boomerangs, early in the second quarter, broke up Cornell’s only scoring chance The Ithacans had the ball on Yale’s 38 when Gallagher grabbed a fiat toss by Whit Baker near the line Of scrimmage. The heet-footed George Peck came off the hospital list for the Ithacans, entering the game twice, but he handled the ball for only half dozen plays and never was even close to penetrating Yale’s alert defense: Colwelrs Kick A Beauty. A 35-yard advance through the slippery going. with AL Wilson and Frank Juggling the ball. set up Yale’s first scoring opportunity. Col wells placement goal. from the 29yard stripe from a difficult angle, shot squarely between the uprights. Between that episode and Franks climax scoring dash it was a tug-ofwar, punctuated by Eli threats that failed because of Cornell’s fine defense against Franks passes. Eliot Hooper, Cornell’s left-footed kicking guard, matched Colwell’s lofty punts with sharply angled end-over-end boots. Hollands spectacular tackling, marked by one occasion when he threw two Ellis in succession for huge losses. repeatedly upset the home team but Cornell was unable to capitalize its defensive showing. The Ithacans reached midfield in the third quarter but Ewart’s interception OF another of Bakers fiat passes turned the play.
