Capt. Shiverick Returns
To Lineup at Cornell

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov 19-Although
snow fell throughout the afternoon,
making the gridiron slippery and the
going somewhat precarious, the Cornell
varsity and scrub battled in a lively
scrimmage to-day. the first hard work
out of the week and one of the few
really severe practices that Coach Rush
means to hold before the Penn game.
The varsity took the ball on the 15-
yard line and was ordered to take it
over. This was accomplished success
fully, and the first team gave an en-
couraging exhibition both in line
nlunges and end runs. Secret signal
drill in the baseball cage closed the
days program.
Captain Shiverick was back in the
lineup. with Livingston, Lechler and
Craig at halfbacks and Shuler at full
back. Miller returned to right guard
and Hoag played left tackle. Other
Wise the lineup was the same as in

Then he throws his hip out of joint so

Erasmus Manager
Attacks Scoring
In Poly Prep Run,

Frederic H. Kruse. manager of the
Erasmus Hall High School 'cross-coun-
try team, takes exception to the method
OF scoring that was used in the Poly
Prep School, New York City, interscho-
lastic championship race last Saturday,
Kruse contends that the scoring was
irregular and that this fact was re-
sponsible for the non-checking of some
Of the runners. with the resultant poor
showing Of several teams.
kruse in his letter says: This is
neither cri'ici m of any individual
or group of individuals, nor an at

Heard on College Gridirons
By Ray Mccarthy

Two games which will attract much
attention Saturday will be the North
western Rutgers game, to be played
at the ball park at Harrison, N. j.,
and the Syracuse Indiana contest at
Bloomington, Ind. Both matches should
be we'll worth seeing, and the interest
will be heightened by the 4act that
they are intersectional matches be-
tween two good Eastern teams and two
strong members of the Western con-
ference.
II will be interesting to note how
the crack Syracuse team, rated by
many as being the best in the East
at the present time, will compare with
the Western representatives. Both
Rutgers and Syracuse expect victories
but the Westerners are primed to up
set the dope, which is not at all un-
likely in this topsy-turvey season.
It was only last Saturday that North
western and Indiana met at Evanston
in a game which resulted in probably
the closest score on record. North
western got the verdict by 8 to g.
Daily, of the Evanston team. kicked a
goal in the last thirty seconds of play
There remained three minutes of
play, when Northwestern had the ball
in midfield. A couple of rushss and
forward pass brought the ball to the
35-yard line. Northwestern continue j
its rushing when the quarterback
learned that only a half-minut- re-
mained. 1t was the third down, but
he had no time to try another rush, sc
he promptly called for a kick DAILY
became a real hero after he made that
kick.
James Lee, director of athletics at
Northwestern, who has come on ahead
of the team, which will arrive here to-
morrow morning and will be quartered
at the Pennsylvania Hotel, said that
his team had been playing in hard
luck all season.
"A difference of few points, due tc
breaks, lost US games which we might
just as we'll have won," said Lee, land
the result is that we are rather low

Easily Defeats
Clason Eleven
Shea and Mcbride Stars of
Game Won by the Score
of 38 to O on Home Field


The Fordham Prep. football team
found little difficulty in defeating the
elevel- representing Ciason Point
Milita-J Academy on the Fordham
Field yesterday afternoon. The score
was 38 to o.
lie Maroon players scored practical
ly at will after the first few minutes
of play. Following the first kickoff
the cadets made first downs twice and
then the Fordham eleven held.
Once the Prep. boys got the ball
they started a series of line plunges
which easily netted them the first
touchdown. From then until the end
of the game the Fordham players toyed
with their rivals.
The work of Vergara stood out
among the Clason Point boys, while
Shea and Mcbride starred for Ford
hsm. The lineup:
