The largest crowd in Cornell history 33,789 paid watched in the 82 degree temperature. FIRST PERIOD 5- Ml -v Philadelphia, Oct.

18. It is difficult to understand, but there are certain feuds in the Ivy League that are actually treasured through the years. Outsiders can never understand this. Cornell would rather beat Penn than Notre Dame. Typical of this was the scene in one of the Baker Field dressing rooms a week ago.

Howie Odell's underdog Yale eleven had beaten undefeated Columbia before a packed house. It was a stunning surprise and it was accomplished with several of Yale's best stars in the hospital. In the midst of the happy scene a prominent Yale alumnus burst into the room, walked up to Odell, waggled a finger under his nose and shrieked: "You've got to beat Harvard, this is just Columbia."

We have been writing all Summer that baseball club owners wtr getting away with murder, that they were hiking ticket prices unnecessarily, that they were receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of free publicity and that they were selling baseball aa a community religion, implying that if you did not support the local franchise you were, in effect, a traitor.
