Just what is the matter at Cornell
| would be hard to say. Whether it has
been the style of coaching or whether
there are other faults cannot be said.
Whatever is the primary cause of the
failure of the institution to develop a
capable eleven is not known. but, what
ever it is, it should be eradicated, if pos
sible.
1t has been said by men who have at
tended the school that one of the main
reasons why the team has failed to show
as we'll as it might is personal Jealousy
and fraternity prejudice. One member OF
an athletic team who graduated short
time past made the statement that there
is so much influence welded it is next to
impossible for the coach Of the eleven to
have full sway and dictate matters to his
own satisfaction. If that be the case
then the sooner those who are the cause
of 1t realize 1.-The fault, much earlier
will the school be represented by foot
ball team not below the standard of the
other institutions in it's class.
An attempt is being made at Johns
Hopkins University this year to develop a
foot ball team entirely from the under
graduate department. Whether this will
be possible and still maintain the stand
ard of past elevens is difficult to foretell
but, at ann rate, it is certain that it is
the safest line along which to build UP
an athletic policy. AS long as Hopkins
iron by an eleven made up mostly OF
men from the medical school who have
seen their best days in the game and who
cannot and will not devote their best
time to the sport it will not be able to
class itself with the other universities of
its size.
Hopkins, if it continues with it's pres
ent policy, will not have as strong a
team this year or next as it did last. but
in the course of time it will build up it's
eleven FONDA tiOn which will he

To judge by the reports which have
been coming in from the Catholic Uni
versity it would seem that that school
is to be represented by the best foot ball
team it has ever placed in the field. 1.-The
line will average about 10 pounds, while
the backfield will be fairly heavy and
fast, was the way one man put it, and
if his statement is correct then the
Brookianders should go through sue

There must have been some rather I'M
certain diagnoses in the cases of the in
| juries to the Georgetown players some
time ago. 1t was stated that Rawlings
and White both had bones broken and
would be out for the remainder of the
season, but now they will both be back
In the game in a short while. It is SAID
that neither White nor Rawlings had a

expected out to practice soon. White, it
is stated, is certain to be in the lineup
OF the team when it faces Washington
and Lee Saturday week.
There appears no doubt that the St.
Johns College team this year will be
the strongest in it's history. The Annap-
Ole collegians have practically the same
eleven back this fall that represented it
last season. and with the improvement
that would naturally be expected it is
likely that an even faster combinat ton
than that really classy team which was
put out in 1911 will be developed.
