Cornell Set for Michigan.
The Cornell football team is facing

next Saturday, with the men In goot
physical condition, and hope of vic
tory in spite of the big score that thu
Wolverines rolled up against Pennsyl
vania- All of the varsity players es
capped injury in the Franklin and Mar
shall game except Bailey, who OF
x-ray examination was found to have
broken his hand. This win probabl.
put him out of business for the res
of the fall. but in Allen and Jewetf
Line Coach Reed has two promising
substitutes, and it is not believed tina
Cornell will suffer from Bailey's loss
The Cornell scouts who attended th'
Michigan Pennsylvania game brough
back the report that the wolverines
have a powerful eleven, and that Il
/ win the Ithacans must play the bes
football OF the year to beat them.
