Cornell rallies from a 14-point deficit to defeat Ohio State, 23-14, at the Buckeyes’ horseshoe-shaped stadium in Columbus. After OSU dominates the first quarter, the Big Red of Cornell scores twice in quick succession on a 79-yard run by Walt Scholl and a 63-yard pass play from Scholl to Jack Bohrman. The smaller but quicker Cornell eleven, coached by Carl Snavely, continues to confound Ohio State in the second half. They intercept three passes to halt Buckeye drives and score twice more on a two-yard run by Hal McCullough and a field goal by Nick Drahos to finalize their unexpected road victory. Cornell will finish the season 8-0, one of only two unbeaten and untied teams in America along with Texas A&M.
