The 165-pound halfback from Lowell, took a handoff from quarterback Bob Paske, cut over tackle and ran to the 10 whore he spun away from Buck-ncll's Paul Tcrhes to go the rest of the way alone. The victory was Colgate's first since the Red Raiders beat Bucknell in the third game of the 1958 season.

FOX Sunday Press Sports Editor THERE ONCE was a team that went Into the Colgate-Syracuse game unbeaten, untied and unpopular at least with opponents it had plowed under 223 points to 0. But what do you suppose happened to It! It took a fearful 38-0 lathering in which a beaten, tied and disputed underdog ran up 430 yards In times when a yard was a This was the fate of the 1915 Colgate team, but it is the exception. Otherwise every time a member of the Upstate Biff 3 has gone Into its final came unbeaten and untied, it has stayed that way.

There haven't been many such days, however. Colgate had only one other. Syracuse has never reached that stepping stone unless you care to count 1889. In 1839, the Orange was unbeaten and untied, to be technical, the day of that 36-0 skunking by Rochester, in something approximating football if one is dog-gpned liberal in his approximating. It VMS the last game of the year.

But it was also the FIRST game in Syracuse history. Not since that unsuccessful fall scram has an Orange team gone Into "getaway day" unbeaten and untied. field goals by a Cornell team since 1950.

ALL THIS was accomplished with a long-suffering senior named Wm.

The Bisons scored first nn seconds before halftime to give Cornell a 9-0 lead at the intermission after Tino's fancy running on keeper plays had highlighted a 50-yard march in 13 plays.

Penn scored three times on the ground, significant because Yale hadn't given up a touchdown through its line all year.

Quarterback Tom Singleton, standout for Yale on offense all day, nevertheless was the goat of the game. One of his passes was intercepted by Larry Purdy to set up the first Penn touchdown and two Singleton fumbles also were turned Into Penn scores. Doeliing swept right end for 10 yards and the first Penn touchdown. After sprinting 58 yards late in the final pj-riod, he rambled 9 yards for his second TD. It appeared that under Singleton's guidance Yale would sweep Penn off the field, so complete was the Eli domination in the first 20 minutes.

But then the errors set in. Yale's first TD came on a 43-yard drive in which Singleton carried 31 yards. Bob Blanchard got the six points on a yard plunge. The next time Yale took the ball Singleton passed 70 yards to Nick Kangas leaving Rich Winkler only a yard to crash. But Penn, taking advantage of the Singleton miscues and Ed Shaw's talented placekicking toe, went ahead 13-12 before the first half ended.

Twice in the third period the Eli was within field-goal range, only to have Ed Kaake's attempts from the 23 and 15 go wide each time. Then came Singleton's second costly fumble and recovery by Jack Hanlon for Penn on the Eli 22. The victory insured Penn its first winning season in six under coach Steve Sebo. Penn is 5-1-1 with Columbia and Cornell remaining.

14 Temple N. 26 Delaware SEASON BROWN' IT WAS ONLY a little earlier that Colgate had made the grade, seven years that take it back to the Thanksgiving when 200,000 received mulligan-stew handouts in the New York breadlines, when von Hindenburg told Herr Hitler, unh-unh, he wouldn't consider him as chancellor and the Rose Bowl decided, unh-unh, they didn't want Colgate, unscored-upon or not. Cornell '39 had nowhere near the depth of Syracuse '59, but it had Scholls, Jerry Cohns, Lou Bufalinos and Jim Schmucks, a rare caliber of reserve in those days. Colgate '32 didn't, and didn't gamble on a substitution until the third quarter was nearly over. Brown was unbeaten itself and didn't submit easily, but after the Raiders had protected their spotless goal and their 6-0 by a margin of 12 inches on the last play of the first half, All-America guard Bob Smith blocked a punt for a safety, Bob Samuel ran for a second touchdown and subs Howard Conroy and Joe Bodganski connected for a third to make it a 264-0 season.

The Rose Bowl preferred Pitt, which provided a Colgate burn that will last forever by taking a 35-0 lacing from Southern Cal. Cornell had of 'course had perfect years in (Continued on Page 4 D) CORNELL 12 Holy Cross 14 N. 14 at Syracuse N. 26 at Brown Columbia 20 Colgate Of Harvard Handcuffs Yale 21 17 0 36 0 13 Lehitjh 20 Harvard 0 Yale 13 6 16 23 20 THERE ARE CORNELLIANS who hold themselves infinitely superior to Syracusans and at least 250 per cent superior to Colgatcrs, and these statistics are borne out exactly by the book: Cornell has five times gone down to the final day inviolate. And each time it has retained its lily-white-and-carnelian escutcheon, which actually proves Cornell a full 500 per cent ahead of Colgate.

Last such day for Cornell, or anyone else Upstate, came the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 1939 at Franklin Field the Armageddon where all Cornell seasons, perfect or putrid, must end since Penn replaced Lehigh as final Cornell test back in 1895. Hal McCullough, now in his 14th year as a Cornell coach, was then in his second as No. 1 tailback, and he gave the Big Red all the points it needed when he took a running pass from Whit Baker early in the game. But just to make it emphatic Al Kelley blocked a punt off the toe of a thoroughly squelched Frank Reagan and Kelley's buddy on the other end of the line, Kirk Hershey, gobbled it up in the end zone.
