CHANGES IN CORNELL MAKEUP.
Coach Warner made change In the
OF the Cornell varsity, Which
II is understood will be permanent. and
which is made as the last move I'm prep
aration for the Princeton game a week
from Saturday. The star freshman tackle.
Cook, was moved from his position at

on the defensive in the scrimmage |
later in the afternoon with the scrubs |
another contemplated change was made |
namely, Capt. Lynch Is to |
play the right halfback position In place
Of Birmingham, who goes back as the |
ultimate defence. All shifts seem TO be
Tor the better. The line is surely strength
ened by the changes. although IL is doubt
'ul that Costello's place at fullback can
be filled equally well by Cox.
Another hard scrimmage was given the
varsity. In which they kept on the de-
'ensive almost all of the time. The
scrubs continued TO make gains through
he regulars.
