Cornell Cancels Game

nell The Ithacans had intended TO
play this game at the end of their
spring trip Accordingly the student
manager scheduled the game. but he
did not consult the faculty. This year
the college fathers have decided that
the baseball men were taking too long

cut down the length of it by three
days. The manager did not learn OF
this until after he had completed the

baseball prospects were given a jolt
when Cornell cancelled the game
scheduled for the third of June at Ann

basketball situation on shaky ground
as there are no schools worthy or
note that could be scheduled in the
west that are not members OF the
Big Eight" The Wolverines were
relying upon their home games with
eastern schools for the big numbers
on the schedule and the loss of the
contest with Cornell leaves the Ferry
