In Long Drill
On the Cridiron

The Fordhsm football team wound
up its hard work for the Cornell game
yesterday with a long offensive drill.
The varsity and scrub teams had only
a short scrimmage, but a long signal
session in which the plays for Satur-
days game were thoroughly rehearsed
kept all hands busy for the afternoon.
Coach McCaffrey changed the lineup
frequently so as to allow all of the
substitutes to break into drill. A spec
tacular attack will be flashed against
Cornell judging from yesterdays re-
hearsal of shifts and passes.
The scrimmage between the varsity
and scrub lasted only ten minutes and
served as q trial horse for several of
the plays that will be used Saturday.
1t was originally intended TO have
fray with battleship team, but Coach
McCafFery did not wish to risk iniur-
ing mis- players on the eve of the Cor
neil game.
All the men got into action except
Frisch, who will be unable to enter the
game with the Ithacans. AS the team
leaves tomorrow morning for Cornell
the final workout will be held this af
teruoon The opening game in the in
terclass football series will be played
to-day, when the seniors and freshmen
clash.
