Cornell won-l7 TO 0-but it was game that taxed all the resources of the crimson and white, for the Indian ends got over the ground fast and showed the Ithacans few things in the way Of playing. The Cor nell team was the heavier. Hunt made a touchdown in the first half and Coffin kicked the goal Hunt made a ninety yard run for a touchdown in the second half and Coffin again kicked goal. TEere was an exchange of ‘punts and then Coffin stole around Carlisles right end and made a run Of seventy yards for the third and last touchdown. He was tackled SO hard behind the line that he was Woody and missed the goal. The lineup:
