Last week the papers printed some mis-
leading statements. like Cornell bars on

drastic move Is that there have been too

son team seemed To solve the cornell
formations with ridiculous ease" such
lines give a wrong impression, f"r M Hsr.

Now while 7 was watching some exceilent
hall captains, Paddy oHsarn and Charles
Barrett, were enjoying the contests In the
Harvard stadium. Surely. n football repu

Harvard knew Barrett was In Cambridge
and Cornell knew Ham was In Ithaca. The
