Cornell will not accept any Harvard above to concede last Saturday's football game even, though the Big Red is convinced it scored an additional touchdown to its 12 to 13 loss, Robert J. Kane, Cornell Athletic Director told the CRIMSON yesterday.
At Ithaca, Kane said films showed Cornell left halfback Dick Jackson had made a pass completion in the end zone, even though officials ruled be caught the pass out of the zone.
Crimson coach Lloyd Jordan at the football rally Monday night had stated he would recommend that Harvard concede the game to Cornell if movies showed the man was in bounds. Yesterday morning he showed films to the crimson squad, but refused to comment on what they revealed.
Movies Thursday
"Come Thursday night, if you want to see," he stated. The Student Council will show free movies of the Crimson upset at 8 p.m. on Thursday in New Lecture Hall.
Kane said he was sure "Lloyd Jordan's films will prove the same thing that the Cornell ones do. The ball was caught inside by a safe margin. It is not true that Jackson caught the ball in the air and came down with his right foot on the chalk stripe."
The Big Red athletic director said he had sent Jordan a letter in which he wanted to make it clear that Cornell was not trying "to detract one iota from Harvard's performance on Saturday. Harvard outplayed us and deserved to win."
"I am not making any recommendations to the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football Officials about the outcome of the game. I only want to complain about careless officiating," he continued.
Kane felt that the controversial play occurred so early in the game that Harvard might have scored two or three times more anyway.
