Nov. 2. Coming from behind with a sensational air attack in the last quarter, Cornell broke a scoreless tie of two years standing by defeating Charlie Crowley's gritty Columbia Lions on mud slopped Schoelkopf field today by a score of 12 to 6. Columbia is protesting the victory on the ground that the Lions had the ball over Cornell's goal line when the final whistle blew. Referee Ed Thorpe, on whose decision the boys pay off decided the ball was not over but that it rested noisier 1 a i m- i ants 01 me n- pound throne meet in ine iirst -V stage of an elimination When the eliminating has reached the Jtuby Bradley point where on Ralph Hewitt Eugene Haut ly one little fellow remains, he will be acclaimed world's champion and thus bring to a close the absurdly confusing situation that has existed ever since the N.

After an exchange of punts in which Hampton gained a decided advantage, the ball was maneuvered into Lincoln territory for the first time late in the quarter.

Then Chubby Jones, Lincoln's stellar plunger, was worked overtime, carrying the oval four consecutive times for 15 yards and a touchdown. Harmon's try for the extra point was wide. LeMar went in for Temple and E. Smith took Harmon's place in the Lincoln line-up as the quarter ended. Score: Lincoln 7, Hampton 6.

Second Quarter. sion patted Iizy Schwart on the tier with a pretty fair punch. If he whips Schwartz I don't believe he will have much trouble wading through the rest of the field. Aside from the Garden bouts there isn't much to attract the attention of ring worms for the balance of the week. To give the big amphitheatre a clear field, St.

Kick's rink has postponed its regular show night from Monday un til Thursday. This will give the cohorts of Jimmy McNamara, undefeated lightweight from Green wich lUage, and Billy McMahon of the west side an opportunity to see their respective favorites in action without missing their weekly visit to the Garden. GOPHERS DEFEAT INDIANA, 19 TO 7, TO KEEP AHEAD Minneapolis, Nov. 2 (Special). This period was featured by more orthodox football.

Both lines were exceptionally strong and few appreciable gains were made through them. Worthy of mention were the spiral punts, averaging 50 yards, that Chubby Jones sent sailing down the field time and again. The half ended with the ball in Lincoln's possession on her own 40 yard line. Score: Lincoln 7, Hampton 6. Third Quarter.

Hunter of Hampton kicked off to Jackson, and Lincoln returned the kick to Harris, who scooted 25 yards behind beautiful interference. Three tries through the line failed to gain and a punting duel between Chubby Jones of Hampton and Clarke of Lincoln ensued. Fourth Quarter. Hampton tried two off tackle smashes, a delayed buck through center, and on the fourth down unleashed a. wild pass that was blocked going down, the ball sroine Minnesota marched on toward the Western conference football cham mediately punted back deep into Cornell territory, but once more Johnson and Stevens worked a few more passes which put the Lions on the defensive on their own 25 yard stripe.

Campbell knocked down Johnson's long heave to Stevens behind the visitors' goal and Hewitt punted from the 20 yard line. Buser and Johnson engaged in a spiritless punting duel during the last few minutes of play. Score Columbia Cornell 0. Fourth Quarter. Bleeker blocked Stevens' kick on Columbia's 25-yard line and galloped 15 yards before tossed.

Johnson received Buser's punt on the Reds' 15-yard line and booted back to the Lions' 35-yard line after his mates failed to make any dent In the enemy's defense on three hard tries. Executing several more well-timed passes and working the ball to Columbia's 36-yard line, Johnson dropped back 10 yards and heaved a beautiful forward to Stevens, who stood on the fringe of the Lions' goal, evening the count at 6-6. A mighty shout went up as Capt. Sam Wakeman poised to kick for the extra point. H.

Johnson held the ball and a funereal silence fell over the field as the boys made ready for the big moment. The kick went outside the posts. Cornell opened a bewildering air attack after the next kick-off. Working the ball to Columbia's 47-yard line, Stevens shot a long pass to Johnson on the 15-yard line and the latter fell across the line, pulling a Columbia tackier with him. Wakeman muffed the kick.

Davis has been made a 7 to 5 choice over Black Bill, but this a bad bout to bet on. The wire-haired Cuban hasn't been licked in two years and to check his winning streak between the double stripe that marks the goal line. The crowd surged upon the playing field while the players of both sides were trying to make up the referee's mind and it was fully ten minutes after the final whistle blew that Thorp rendered his verdict. First Period. Columbia's agressive back field showed a power punch right after Cornell kicked off and made a first down on it's own 35 line on three straight plunges by Hewitt and Mosser.

Cornell's defense tightens up, however, after that early rush and Hewitt was forced to punt on the fourth down. After a series of punts Columbia got the ball at the half way mark and immediately launched a mighty offensive. Hewitt cut through center for a 25 yard gain. Three sharp thrusts at the Cornell line gave the Gothamites a first down on the Red's 23 yard line. On the fourth down, Hewitt and Joyce negotiated a touchdown by relaying a short sharp pass to Mosser, who dropped back over the Cornell line to receive it.

Hewitt's kick for the extra point sailed below the cross bar. Second Quarter. Shortly after the start, Buser crossed up the opposition by punting on the second down from Columbia's 30 yard line. The ball bounced to Cornell's 15 yard line before Handleman fell on it. The Blue and White tacklers were right at his heels and he was downed before he could gain a yard.

After three futile thrusts at Columbia's line Hoffman was forced to kick out of danger. Columbia went on a pass heaving spree but failed to make any headway. A bit later Bleeker blocked Hoffman's kick on Cornell's 10 yard line and Joyce carried the ball over only to be called back for offside play. Hill, Columbia's right wing, was hurt in a pileup and limped off the field. Van Vorhees took his place.

The Blue and White defense crumpled under the vigorous onslaught of the Red backs during the last few minutes of play and yielded two first downs. Rein-1 forcements were rushed into the battle and the new blood stemmed the tide. Score at end of first half: Columbia 6, Cornell 0. Third Quarter. The Lions started the second half with a completely remodelled line and a revamped backfield.

Joyce received Johnson's kick on Columbia's 20 yard line. Deciding to take no chances, Hewitt punted on the second down. Cornell opened an air attack on its own 35 yard line and advanced to the Lions' 35 yard line on short, well-timed heaves by Stevens and Johnson. A wet ball and a muddy field made the passing game a hazardous undertaking, but Dobie's boys took all the risks. Hewitt caught Johnson's punt on Columbia's 10 yard line and was thrown in his tracks before he could get wider way.
