Cornell Feels Happy
Over the Prospects
For a Strong Eleven

ITHACA, N. Y, Feb. 22.-If the ex-
pectations of the Cornell football
coaches, based on a survey of avail
able and prospective material are full
filled, the lthacans will have a formi-
dabie squad when practice starts next
fall. The management has been get
ting in touch with all former players
who left college to go to war, and so
far the replies are very satisfactory.
Fritz Shiverick, crack half back and
one of the best punters and field goal
kickers in the college world, heads the
list of veterans expected back in the
fall after service in the army. F. T.
Gillies, left tackle, is also due to re-
turn, and the management is confident
that Paul Miller, left guard; Buddy
Ryerson, left end, and Sutton and
Dixon, tackles, will also be on hand
There is hope that Jack Garry, CEN
ire, will also be back. All OF these
men we're on the 1916 team. In add
ton, it is believed that John Shuler,
brilliant half back of the freshman
team in 1916, will enter in the fall.
BY some critics Shuler is proclaimed
another Charley Barrett.
Nearly all of the men who won the
c in 1917 are in college now. and the
others will be here next term. This
team was below the Cornell stand

quarter back, and Pendelton, a big

I'm Basketball Race
BY Beating Tigers

PRINCETON, N. j., Feb. 22-Yalc
took the lead in the intercollegiate baa-
ketball league here to-day with sen
sational victory over the Tiger five. The
score was 20 to Is. The game was AZ
citing and hard fought throughout. Ya,e
started the game with a rush and by
tie end of the first half had accunu-
lated an eight-point lead The team
work of the Blue was a revelation to
followers of the Tigers
The Princeton five rallied in the SEE
end half and with a squirt sent Yale's
lead down to three points. The Tigers
seemed we'll on the way to tjeing the
score, but Yale came back with last
minute rally and finished the game
five points ahead.
The individual work of Van Slvck
and Stradella. the Eli captain, were me
features of Yale's play, while Opie's
generalship and Margetts's keady wor..
saved Princeton from an overwhelming
defeat.

Kinsella Wins
From Canlev
In Squash Tilt
Worlds Champion Meets
Stubborn Foe, but Final
ly E merges Victorious

Walter A. Kinsella, the worlds pro-
1esslonal squash tennis champion, was
forced to extend himself to defeat
William f. Ganley, New York Athletic
Club, IN their handicap match played at
the Apawamis Country CClub, Rye, N.
Y, yesterday. The title holders steadi-
ness at all times and ability to pick
out his opponents weaknesses finally
pulled him through the victor. The
scores were 15-8, 6-15, 15-11.
1910.
Ganley put up a determined fight
toward the end to ward off defeat. He
had a start Of five aces in each game
and many of the spectators thought
the champion was doomed to defeat.
klnsella played at the top of his form
and never wasted an opportunity to
score a point.
kinsella changed his pace continu-
ally and frequently resorted to his ter
1iflc smashing to count aces His low
returns to the back wall corners and
exceptionally sharp 'cross-court shots
also proved difficult fer Ganlev to
handle.
The champion won the first game by
overtaking Ganley early and playing
hard throughout Ganley reversed mat
ters in the second game, and after he
had assumed big lead Kinsella did
not seriously attempt to overtake him.
The third and fourth games bristled
with action: Ganley leaped away to
~ lead, but Kinsella, awakening to
the situation. counted eight aces to
take the lead. Pressing the attack,
kinsella added several more points to
his advantage.
The fourth game was the bitterest of
the match. 1t was an even fight up to
points all when Kinsclla, driving the
ball with lightning velocity, count
ed three points in succession as his
opponent failed to get his racquet on
the ball. Ganley rallied slightly, but,
although drawing up on the champion.
was unable to fathom Kinsella's con-
tinuous change of pace and low returns
to the back wall corners.

f1arvard's Seven
Triu1nphs Over
Princeton Team

Harvard's hockey team scored one
sided victory over Princeton in a con-
test at the Brooklyn Ice Palace last
night by a score Of goals to 2. The
Tiger team put up stiff fight in the
first half, but were unable to follow
the Crimson pace.
Harvard's passing and general team
work easily outshCne that shown by
Its Princeton rivals. Smelling, Bigelow
and Avery were the Crimson big three,
and were responsible for the majority
Of the goals. Harvard continually
forced the attack, but appeared to be
inconvenience by the small rink.
Princeton kept the Harvard players
in check during the first half, in which
time Smelling had scored one and Bige-
low two for Harvard, while Knox and
Wintersteen tailed for Princeton. The
latter's goal came after forty five sec
onds of play. Harvard kept it's rivals
or the defensive almost throughout the
second half and continually kept up a
shower of shots at the Princeton goal.
Avery first counted for Harvard, with
two more being added by Smelling.
Just before the end of the game Avery
counted again, after picking the puck

at now looks if the other coeges-meanng
those outside of the Big Three-are on the level
in their efforts to go along their own hook.
There is no antagonsm in the move, just declara-
ton Of independence which has been on the way
for long time The colleges learned to handle
their affairs during the war and discovered
much to their surprise, that football still could be
played without the presence of Yale Harvard and
Princeton The teams are just as good and just
many spectators pass through the gates. Penn,
Pitt, Dartmouth, Cornell and the others have thou
sands of students from which to draw; the interest
in the elevcns is just great, and it is not
sary to bow to supreme trumvirate
ITO get down to hard facts here is the probable
outcome of the latest move. The colleges will ar
range their games in the future and not
annoy Yale, Princeton Harvard. Remember
those universities will have perfect right to
select their opponents and are capable of
handling their business. If they desire to
play among themselves, all we'll and good They
big enough to do it, and the games will be
just popular in the past.

write for games with the Big Three and wait for

those letters were exchanged. Whenever a date
was accepted the outside college was given to I'M
