Ambition if His Team
Beats IthacanS.

ID UCK o'NEILL will give four
ID rousing cheers II Columbia beats
Cornell Saturday at Ithaca.
The veteran coach would rather win
this game than any other battle on
Columbia's schedule. To defeat Cor
nell has been an obsession with
ONeill. While at Syracuse he tried
valiantly but unnecessarily to- get
a match with the big Red team. To
cash in on his ambition O'Neill has
made some radical changes In the
Columbia lineup. Several new plays
have been prepared to spring on e.,
Dobie's players.
The Columbia squad left town las
evening for Syracuse. whore a siren
nous scrimmage will be staged with
the Orange eleven to-day. It will
be final rehearsal for Saturdays
encounter. O'Neil wanted to see
how his new plays worked out under
strange conditions, so Syracuse was
invited TO be the shock absorbing
side and Chick Meehan gladly con-
scented.
