Barrett Plays Large Role in Penn Game Despite Daze
Charley Barrett captain of Cornell’s unbeaten football team played through the second and third periods of the Thanksgiving Day game in a dazed condition after an early head blow. He did not remember much after scoring the first touchdown until a late fourth period clearing, aiding Cornell’s 17 straight points. The episode helped explain his later surge but also led to a costly misread, as a deep forward pass in the last minutes of the second half was intercepted and returned for a Pennsylvanian lead.
