Cornells linemen plowed through Lafayette for long and consistent gains and the backs shot around the wings for advances ranging from three TO forty yards. The feature of the day was the brilliant game in line and everywhere else of Warner and the fine kicking of Brewster, who dropped two goals from the field.
