|ITHACANS REFUSE TO
PART WITH Al SHARPE
Oorneirs Coach For Next
Season.

Ithaca, N. Y, Dec. 7.---According to
those in close touch with athletic AZ
fairs there. Cornell will not permit
DR.. Al Sharpe to go to Yale. even II
the Blue makes the request 1t has
taken fifteen years for Cornell to
work up to her present high position
in athletics. and it Is not likely that
, they would allow Sharpe to leave
under any circumstances. as he Is
the man who has made the champion
ship teams possible.
The football team will elect cap
tain this week at banquet to be
given in it's honor by the Athletic As
ISOLATION. If Cornell elects man
who will be a. senior ~ext year, and
that pro- bly, will be done, the choice
will lie between Mueller. fuliback
Anderson. right guard: Tilley. guard
and tackle, and EckIey. right end.
iTilley and Anderson have played for
two years: Eckley and Mueller were
subs last year and played varsity foot
ball for the first time this year. The
other varsity men who will be avail
able next fall include Shiverick, Gillies
and Miller, all sophomores. 1t Is not
thought proba Bile that any of these
three will be chosen captain.
Although Cornell suffers heavily in
the loss OF Barrett. Cool. Shelton. Col
Inns and Jameson. the outlook for next
year Is not bad In addition TO the
men mentioned above. Sharpe can
cali on Hoffman ard Benedict, two
capable substitute halfbacks: Bard
and Dixon, substitute l.nemen: Brown.
a substitute center and Ryerson and
lander two promising ends and also
Bretz who played good game at
quarter on the freshman eleven this
fall Bretz probably will succeed Bar
ret.
Talk Of next years schedule is Of
games with Harvard. Penn and Mich
igan. the last in Ithaca, and probably
game with Colgate. Most OF the
smaller teams on the schedule TINS
year will be retained.
