ner. Of the Cornell football team, de-
clared today that he was in favor of
having twelve men comprise a football
team. He said he had found II difficult
under the new rules this season to

that he was convinced that u better
game could be played with twelve men.
Each time I had a play figured out. %
said Warner. 'it failed 20 please me. for
it seemed that there was always one
player missing"
His Reasons
He illustrated his remarks with a dia-
gram showing how on the offense the
drawing back of a lineman for a plunge
revealed the purpose and Weakene,f the
line. On the defense he showed how
easy II was to draw or the meager sec
ondary defense by a fake play. An ex-

I would like To see all restrictions re-
