CORNELL ATHLETICS.
STUDENTS DISSATISFIED WITH METHODS
AND DEMAND A CHANGE.

Ithaca y y March 30 (SpeciaD.-There has been
considerable discussion among Cornell students
this week regarding the football schedule decided
on by the athletic council for the season OF lS'l'
Lafayette and Syracuse have been dropped from
the list of opponents. and relations with Columbia
have been resumed Immediately there cry
ing demand from the students for an explanation.
There had been rumors of PROFESSIONALISM III poth
the Syracuse and Lafayette teams. but other rea-
sons had also been given. At first Professor Dem
mis- who Is at the head of the football committee.
refused TO give any for the councils action.
He said that it would only start controversy be-
tween Cornell and Syracuse. The controversy
started anyway, and the council finally decided TO
talk.
1t appears that Syracuse was asked to make her
eligibility rules conform more closely to those of
the larger Eastern colleges. This was not done
and in consequence It decided to suspend foot
ball relations during 1901 The fact that Sweeland.
a Cornell graduate. who is coaching Syracuse, is
in accord with the present athletic council had
nothing 70 do with IL.
There is a strong sentiment among many OF the
students against dropping Lafayette until she has
been thoroughly beaten. She defeated the Cornell
team in a hard fought battle last year and there
is undercurrent OF spirit at Cornell which is op-
posed TO giving up in defeat. Many would like TO
see another game played in spite OF the semi-pro-
fessional charges against the Easton men.
The fate of these two games is Of small
Importance. however. compared TO the show of
feeling against the athletic council system of ath-
letic government which made during the dis
cussion. There is strong evidence that II will not
be long before an effort is made TO overthrow the
present system OF government and put athletics
into the hands of the student body. In the future
the students will have TO subscribe S1.0np year
for the running expenses OF the various teams. In
order 10 raise this amount some organization OF the
entire student body will be necessary. This
ganizatiOn Will doubtless insist controlling the
athletics which II supports.
In other respects the football schedule is salts
factory enough There four big games-Car-
Isle. at the Pan-American Exposition; Princeton,
at Ithaca: Columbia. at New-YOrk. and Pennsyl-
yania, at Philadelphia, Thanksgiving Day.
The weather for the last week has been a serious
handicap to crews and baseball There have been
several days which the inlet stormy that
even the barges could not be sent out The base
ball field has been muddy. and the team starts
South on Thursday next practically without
door practice. Nevertheless. Hugh Jennings the
coach, is confident Of bringing back a good string
OF Southern scalps.

He has been wounded several times but has al
ways recovered. only to plunge again into the

Journey the boat capszed, and he struggled for life
in the icy water He succeeded in saving himself,
only to be threatened with death from cold and
starvation. but fortunately he came across mis-
sionary outpost AS 1t he nearly died from
pneumonia
His adventurous spirit next led him to Cuba
There he enlisted in the insurgent army. and
served under Generals Gomez and Garcia for
eighteen months. He soon became commander of
the Cuban artillery. IN leading cavalry charge

were held Friday evening in the
library, and were attended BY 4 large
number OF people. who expressed the
most sincere sorrow at the tragic
event. Mr.. Mcdonald was about
fourty years OF age, and had been in
the west about sixteen years, in No
renct about twelve years, during which
time he was in the employ of the D. c.
". Co. as engineer. He was native
OF Nova Scotia, where his parents are
still living. Mr.. Mcdonald was the
eldest OF family Of seven children,
having three sisters and three brothers,
who mourn his loss. One OF the sad
dest things about the tragedy is that
Mr.. Mcdonald was expecting to be
married in the fall to young lady who
is at present in one OF the Dakotas.
The deceased was a general fayorite,
for he had the qualities that make and
keep friends. His genial disposition
and unfailing good humOr, his gener-
osity and kindness, his clear and man
~ character, impressed themse on
all who knew him. and his many friends
honor and cherish his memory.
