Y, Nov. 18.-Cornell squeezed out photo finish, l4-l3 decision over an underdog Dart mouth eleven today at Schoellkopt Field on the trusty toe of Paul Robson, jr., and the touchdown sprints OF Alex Drogin and Allen Dekdebrun before about $4,000 fans Robson added the precious extra points after a first-period score by Drogin on a 40-yard gallop and q third-Quarter tally by Dekdebrun who bulled over from the / after Francis (Bud) Snavely, Coach Carl Snavely’s nephew, had set 1t up with 16-yard gain. Dartmouth outgained the Big Red on the ground and in the air, piling up IA first downs to ii but q missed placement by Lazarus Lewis after Darrell Braatz’s second period touch down made the difference between a loss and tie. Lewis made good after Braatz sped 81 yards to a second six-pointer in the same period but the third session combination Of Dekdebrun and Robson overcame that temporary lead.
