Cornell uncovered a dandy new offensive play the blocked kick here this chilly afternoon and preserved its undefeated record at the expense of Columbia's Lions.

The final score wa3 13-7, but Cornell's touted backs, who punctured Big Ten prestige last week by downing Ohio Stale, went nowhere and if it hadn't been for a pair of opportunity-grabbing lineman, Jerry Cohn and Mike Ruddy, the boys from New York would have swiped By Jack Mahon For three thrill-packed hours in the crisp November sunlight, a grand Army team shackled the thunder of mighty Notre Dame' famed football powerhouse at the Yankee Stadium yesterday. But, thanks to one little mistake, the all-around brilliance of big Harry Stevenson, the Jersey juggernaught, and an intercepted pass, the Fighting Irish struggled to a 14-0 victory over the gallant guys in grey to sweep along their unbeaten trail to the National Championship.

Before the Big Red rooting section had quieted, the Lions were in a position to score. It was Jack N'aylor, understudy to the injured Stanczyk, who turned the trick with the game's most electrifying play. He took the kickoff ball against his chest on his own 5, and romped through the entire Cornell team before Scholl finally nabbed him from behind on the Cornell 4. It was a 91-yard run with Deau-gnstinis doing yeoman duty as a blocker. It took the Lions four plays to put it over but Will finally ploughed from I'i yards out for the touchdown and clicked with tha conversion that gave the Lions a 7-6 halftime lead.

The Irish line crowded the Cadet backs and, after a pass, Hatch to Dubuisson, failed, Hatch kicked to Sitko on the ND 30.

Starting on the ND 40, after another kicking exchange, Zontini. on a reverse, made 13 yards and Pie-ptjl eleven to move to the Army 36. Stella and Yeager came through again, however, and, inspiring their comrades, stopped ND three times for a net gain of only two yards. Piepul kicked over the goal line. The Break of the Game.

Hatch was forced to kick again. Sheridan almost got loose around his right end but after an 18-yard dash, was knocked out on the Army 4.

Columbia moved that ball right down to the Cornell 24 and the 20,000 fans banked in the Schoellkopf Field stands screamed that old familiar "Hold that line Hold that line." And hold the Big Red did! Another lineman, Lou Conti, saved the day by dropping Len Will, Lion fullback, for a two-yard loss on a third down, 4-to-go play. Kaylor, finest back on the field here today, tried the line on fourth down (a pass might have clicked) and was stopped for no gain. So Cornell took the ball and the threat was over. Cornell got plenty of breaks but failed to capitalize time after time, which shows how the underdog Lions were rocking the favorites up there in the line.

Right off the bat Alva Kelley, big wingman and captain of the Cornells, recovered a bad pass from center on Columbia's 20. However, the Big Red machine failed through the air. Kaylor Gets Going. Columbia then proceeded to show it wasn't to be trifled with when Naylor twice broke loose for dashing runs. First, he intercepted Hal McCulIough's.
