  Statistics, Lynn Dorsett passed to Chollet, who made a brilliant catch on Army’s 3. This was the play, however, which lost Chollet to Cornell. JEFF Fleischmann bucked for a yard and then Miller raced around end to score standing up. Deans kick, however, was wide. Cornell got a break late in the period when Galiffa. attempting a pass, juggled the ball. Dick Ramin stole the ball out of his arms and ran to Armys 10 with Is seconds left Dorsett tried three passes, but all were knocked down by an alert Army secondary. Deans field goal attempt was wide. Army’s thiSd touchdown came II minutes after the third period opened. The Cadets took a punt in midfield and drove slowly, but relentlessly to a touchdown. A fourth down gamble on Cornell’s 40 paid off, Kuckhaha making necessary foot of ground. A 15-yard pass from Galiffa to Foldberg and a 16-yard end run by Stuart moved the ball to Cornell’s 2, where Stephenson took it across on his second plunge. Again Cornell charged back. Paul Giralamo intercepted late third quarter pass by Galiffa and ran to Army’s 81. Miller hit the line twice for 13 yards and the ball was on the Cadets 18 as the period ended. Fleischmann and Giralamo car ried twice for a first down on the g. Bradley drove to the and then ran end to the 1-foot line. But on fourth down Cornell’s backs were in motion and the Big Red drew s. yard penalty. Dorset attempted a desperation pass, but Army’s tacklers swarmed on him and took the ball on the 10. After an Army punt had given Cor nell the ball on its own 20, Dean at tempted a lateral to Bernie Babula, who missed the ball. Joe Henry recovered for the Cadets on the 3 and Stephenson carried it over on the second play. Yeoman made it 27–⁠6. This was the games only easy score.
