Therefore there was not any scoring.
The varsity ran through its full list
of plays. One reason for this and the
hard drill was that the chances are
that many Of the regulars will not play
against Brown at all on Saturday, but
instead will go down to Princeton TO
see Yale and the Tigers.
The first team was back in trim
again to-day with the exception that
jeff Coolidge was still held on the side
line, c. Coolidge taking his place. II is

WITH ENTHUSIASM

Williamstown, Mass, Nov. 12.-Aside
from lining up against the scrub for
few minutes on the 35yard line
while De Windt and Toolan drop
kicked few goals, the Williams var
sity had another easy workout to-
day. While the first string men ran
through signals on one side of the
field the scrub put in little hard
v ork with the freshman eleven.
, Not seat was vacant in Jessup
Hall last night when the college body
gathered TO hear Fred DAILY, the
coach; Captain Payson, Professor
Russell and the senior members or
the team urge the men to give their
best support 10 the eleven on Satur-
day.
Regular cheers and all sorts OF wild
bursts Of enthusiasm greeted each
speaker. Professor Russell, who
scarcely ever misses a practice, stirred
the audience with his remarks. He
stated that he never before had
watched team that had given him
such hopes and thrills, Offset occa-
sionally by doubts and chills.
THE team as whole" he contln-
ued, "is working unit without a SIM
gle weak spot in it. There is every
reason to believe that the hnal OUT
come of the contest will be the ring
ing of the old Goodrich Hall bell,
even though a couple of freshmen are
forced to stay in Williamstown to
keep it going"
Captain Payson praised the way in
which the scrub and freshmen came
out and helped the regulars.
Eells said that two years ago the
hoodoo was smashed on Pratt Field,
that this year precedent would be
formed, while two years hence the
winning custom would be established.
When Furness had finished telling how
the blot of last years defeat would
be wiped out on Saturday, the "elusive
Toolan' rose to speak. IL was some
minutes. however, before the applause
subsided sufficiently for him to be
heard.
A quotation from "Doc" Barrett,
There's nothing to it," was sufficient
to let the men know how he viewed
the situation.
A storm Of applause. cheering and
whistling was ready for Fred DAILY,
the next speaker. Football" he said,
"has a great many parallels in life,
and il is the remarkable fighting
spirit which the Williams team has
exhibited which is responsible for its
success. Some of the men on the
tenn are second to none in the coun-
. try"

Sharpe Says His Men Will
Put Up a Good Fight
No Changes in the
Varsity Lineup.
lbs Telegraph 10 Tn. Trlbun, j

Ithaca, n. Y, Nov. 12.-Amid rous
ing demonstration of 1000 students the
Cornell football squad of twenty-seveu
men left Ithaca tonight, determined
to continue its winning streak at Ann
Arbor. DR.. Al Sharpe refused 70 make
any comments this evening as TO the
outcome of the game, but said that the
entire squad was in fine condition and
was going TO put up creditable fight
There was little hard work for the
varsity to-day, but the scrub had a
long scrimmage in the baseball cage,
in which every ! w pla" was tired
without a hitch. Apparently the
coaches have no fault to find with the
lineup, which has won the last three
games, for every regular still holds
his position, with the exception OF the
substitution Of Allen for Bailey at
right tackle.
Before the varsity went TO the base
ball cage for signal drill Barrett de-
voted an hour to punting. His puA.s
averaged fifty yards. The Cornell team
which is TO face Michigan will line up
as follows:
Shelton. left end; Gallogly, left
tackle; Munsick, left guard; Cool, CEN
tire; Anderson. right guard; Allen,
light tackle; O'Hearn, right end; Bar
rett. quarter; Collyer, left halfback;
Shuler, right halfback, and Hill, full
back.
There is some fear expressed : the
Cornell camp as to the ability Of the
Ithaca team to resist the heavier Mich
igan line. Dan Reed, however, says
there is nothing to fear, rs Cornell
has line which can be relied on. Cor
nell, while none too confident of vic
.ory, has high hopes as TO the outcome
of the game.
The reports that Cornell had outbid
Pittsburgh for the services of Glenn
Warner, the Indian coach. are entirely
false. Cornell never thought Of try
ing for Warner.
