Neither coach made any predictions
On the game, but Il Is known that Spears
d satisfied about his teams chances
Roper believes that Cornell has improved
enough to give the Green at least q
stubborn battle. Cornell is noted for its
comebacks. and every man on the team

Columbia concluded Hs preparation,
FOR the Amherst contest with secret
drill after the Freshman-Ha In.

new plays, up his sleeve and he would
not take any chances on lettiuS them b.
disclosed
Drill in new plays has taken up mos
Of the time OF the squad this week. The
coaches think the varsity now Is sum
GENTLY advanced to absorb the new
formations. which are 80 badly needed
and Amherst may look for many a sur
prise before the contest Is over this
Afternoon. Dawson probably will use 6
more open style of attack than In any
Of the previous games
The DEVELOPMENT OF Shaw has beer
one OF the most encouraging factors ir
Columbia's hopes for victory to-day
dropklcking also may be
big factor in the struggle to-day. The
Columbia captain has been practising
assIduously In sending field goals ovei
the bar all during the week.
Modarelli. the veteran guard of tn,
1918 s. A. T. C. eleven. has returned L

was injured early in the season and hal
but recently recovered.
Quigley has almost fully recovered

place at quarter. He was out on the
field yesterday and ran through tn,
sifnals.
