for the Cornell team has excited the
admiration of the Eastern foot ball
critics. In the account Of the Prince
ton-Cornell game 1t was enormously
stated that Finnucane had managed
the Cornell team. Brewster was In
the game from start to finish.
A special from Ithaca says:
The players corrected the report
that Finnucane played at quarter back
against Princeton. Brewster filed the
position throughout the game, and HE
work was almost marvellous. He is a
freshman and promises to make Cor
nell the strongest quarter back she
has ever had, not excepting Wyckoff
or Charlie and George Young. He
is as steady as a clock and has the
nerve of lion.
1t may result that Cornell will be
unable to have another contest with
the Tigers, however, If the statement
OF an old Princeton foot ball gradu,
ate represents the general sentiment
at Princeton After the contest last
night one of them told prominent
Cornell undergraduate that Princeton
would drop the Ithncans after this
year because the Cornell game was
too hard proposition for the Tigers
to tackle in midseason. If this should
result, which Cornell men strongly
doubt, game between Harvard and
Cornell would probably be arranged for
next season
Cornell now has two hard PROPOSE
tons on her hands, the Lafayette and
Pennsylvania games, 1t is probable
that Coach Lewis. of Harvard will be
secured 10 assist Haughton immedl-
ately after the Harvard.Yale game.

AL Brewster, of Akron, who is as
well known in Cleveland through his
mastery playing on the University
School team for three years, played
In the Cornell-Prnceton game at quar-.
ter back instead of Flnnucane. as
was reported In the press dispatches.
This is Brewster's first year at Cor.
nell, and he is considered the best
quarter back who ever wore n suit at
that Institution.
