The Ohioans marched 87 yards for their first touchdown, eschewing passes except for one lateral, as their backs, Scott, Zadworney, Strausbaugh, and Langhurst, ripped the Cornell line apart. Another drive of 72. yards, with one forward pass netting 38 yards, pro- duced another touchdown early in the second period. Both points were con- verted to give Ohio State its 14-0 lead. At that point many a Cornell partisan was ready to settle for 40-0. Then in came the substitutes, headed by Scholl and Borhman, and the com- plexion of the game changed entirely in the second half. But the regulars were not to be out- done. They turned in the fine defensive exhibition on Cornell's 11-yard line in the third quarter, after they had sent McCullough over from the two-yard line for the touchdown that gave Cornell the lead. Kenneth G. Brown '40 of Miller ton started the second half at fullback. He was hurt after he returned a punt 2.1 yards to Ohio State's 34-yard line, and Landsberg returned to the game.

Almost before you know it, those little tykes who call you "dad" will be men and women striving for their place in the sun.

Protect them against future want in the event that you are prematurely taken from them. Poverty stifles ambition.

Life insurance would provide a regular income for them until they are properly equipped for a future of independence.
