In all departments of the game the . Ithacans were strong, and even their, of7 p fenslve playing was a marked improve ment over anything that DR.. Sharpe has been able to develop this year.

In fact, during this quarter Michigan did not get the ball In scrimmage nearer Cornells goal line than her own 2S-yard mark. AT this point IT. seemed that Cornell was bound TO emerge. } victorious, as direct onslaughts twice car | rled the ball within striking distance. With the score tied at points the fourth period started, Michigan punting from the 2-yard line.
