OFF TO MEET CORNELL.
Columbia Team Starts for Ithaca
To-day-Last Signal Drill

Fast snappy work characterized the signal
nractice of the Columbia football eleven at
American League Park yesterday where Nor
ley spent the afternoon in putting on the final
touches for the Cornell game. No scrimmage
work was attempted, Morley wished to take
no chances of injuring any of the men so near
the day of the game. This morning at o'clock
the whole squad of forty men will start Eor
ithaca The team will be accompanied by the
Columbia musical clubs, which give concert IN
Ithaca tonight.
The Glee Club will attend the game in body
and lead the singing of the Columbia cheering
section Besides the musical clubs. a compar-
stively small number of men have signifed
their intention of going TO the game The toot-'
ball mana cement is trying to get more men TO
go because when. Cornell comes to New-fork
she is always greeted by enthusiastic crowd
Collins ran the team in practice yesterday
and will undoubtedly be at quarteroack To-
morrow. All the chances that Donovan had
have been des.r royed by his developing case OF
water on the knee. This precludes the possibil-
itv of his starting the game. He was present
at the practice yesterday but will be USED only
in the case of direst necessity.
Morley has decided TO let Carter rest untl
the Pennsylvania game and to send LIMO III at
fuIlback Morley said yesterday that ne WouId
nut Won Saltza back into his old position at
right tackle instead of using him at luiipach'
as he did in the Princeton and Yale games. Ihis

the line Won Saltza IS a valuable man
wherever he plays. At fullback he showed apli-
ity TO hit the line for good gains but ms
1876 pounds makes him a little slow FOR paek-
field man BY putting him at tackle Morley
places him in a position for which ne mas a
natural adaptation.

an unknown quantity in football lie piayed
