while some of his punts have earned

of the outstanding stars OF the line;
Paul Miller and Eddie Anderson, the
guards. are in the junior and senior or
classes respectively. Miller weighs Wv

hard. fast players, especially powerful
on the attack, and for men OF Iheir

play calls for their doing so.
There is nothing Of the spectacular
in their work, but they are steady ana

reasons for the Red line being ranked
as one Of the best Cornell has had IN
some little time.
Ends Source Of Worry
The ends of the line have been
source Of worry TO Cornell Against
Harvard they were weak and ineffective,
but since that game have advanced
nicely. Ryerson and Eckley are the
men who probably will start against
Penn tomorrow. Eckiey, OF course, Is
a star, and last year was regarded as
a fitting mate for the great Shelton.
Person Is no weakling. He scales
about 10 pounds and has had much
experience. He is short, stockily
built youngster, but Is tast ana aggreS-
sive in his work.

the game Dan Reed, the Cornell line

sons. Gillies weighs about 100 pounds
in plavinr condition. He will give
Miller. whom he may oppose on de-
fence. and Eseresvaag, his offensive
opponent. all the action they may
crave. Gilhes is a junior and has an
other year to play at Cornell.
These are the men on whom Corneil
is banking, and they are worthy or Gil
the confidence imposed.
The football solons at Harvard are
considering a change in the schedule
for next year. 1t is whispered that
Princeton will be met one week before
the Yale game. Yale has requested
several times that Harvard play
Princeton the week before the Yale
game on alternate years. This wou Id

dictator, has refused to consider the
Dame Rumor has 1t that Cornell may
be dropped by Harvard. and the Octo-
Der date assigned to Brown. II would
not be consistent with the Harvard
policy 10 drop the Providence eleven
and leave the defeat Of two weeks ago
unavenced. If Brown be shifted from
November 20 October. and Cornell
dropped altogether. then it is thought
that Cornell and Brown will meet next
