  Two Scores in Waning Moments Are Costly To Lions in 20–⁠13 Tilt BY the ASSociofeo PreSS NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-For the third straight week Columbia sag ged in the waning moments today as Cornell’s spirited sophomores stormed back with two touchdowns in the final 10 minutes to pull a 2O-13 decision out of the chaos that was Baker Field. Trailing 1877 after 4:0S Of the fourth quarter, the Cornell team that had been bottled up since the first period started to roll. 1t must have taken added hope from the fact that Charles Klemovitch, the Lions extra point expert, twice failed to add a vital point after Lou Kusserow’s second touchdown. Klemovitch missed with the first try after KuSserow’s, tie-breaklng touchdown but Cornell was guilty OF defensive holding. The second try was blocked by Tackle Dick Clark. Then the Big Red started to come. With the help of 15-yard penalty against Columbia for unnecessary roughness, they moved 81 yards in seven plays for the big touchdown that knotted the count at 1913. A change of pace pass play from Pete Dorset to Johnny Rogers, good for “a yards and a score, cli- NAKED a drive that had been restricted to ground plays. Penalty Hurts Columbia. Bob Dean. the sure-footed Cor nell placement kicker, rushed out to try for the vital point. His boot was wide but there was a horn on the play. Columbia was of side and he got another chance. This time he din’t miss and Cornell led, 14–⁠13. Kusserow later faded to pass and threw a long one down field that Bob Haley intercepted with an over the-shoulder catch on his 80. Once again Cornell was on the march, slicing 10 yards in six plays for the touchdown that put them beyond the reach of the frustrated Lions. Frank CMoose) Miller darted through the entire Columbia club on a sparkling 33-yard run that was the best of the afternoon. Trap ped three times, he changed directon, reversed his field and finally bulled across to plant the ball in the end zone with a couple of Co. hmbia defenders still clinging to him. Lions Hot in Second Period. It mattered little that Dean missed the point this time for the clock was running out and there were less than three minutes to go. Driving down field on a 7s-yard march late in the first period, jeff Fleischmann, the Reds fine sophomore fullback, bulled over from the Z. Deans placement made it TO. Columbia dominated the second quarter which was played almost entirely in Cornell territory. With Gene Rossides and Jack Nork TAX ing to the air the Lions set it up for Kusserow to skirt his right end after taking a pitch out from Ross ides. Twice Cornell held Columbia to IKE away the ball in tht third but the Lions were not to be denied. A beautiful 50-yard punt return by Rossides started the drive. From first down on the 4, Kusserow again scored on a wide lateral from Ross ides. Then followed Klemovich’s two extra point failures. COLUMBIA. Left end lockwood. Ward.
