Six additional matches were contested

Club yesterday, when both the Com
merce and Commercial teams succeeded

The summary
The New York herald., 1920-12-05

, sums up the point of view here. What
Coach Dobie thinks nobody has been able
to find out. He was less surprised than
the undergraduate body. OF this years
team Cornell will lose Mayer and Hoff
in the backfield, Finn, left end: Dodge.
Pendelton and Miner from the line. Let
ter men remaining will include Carey
and Kaw in the backfield, Gouinlock and
Munns. ends. and Knauss and. Brayton
in the line
No great changes in the schedule are
anticipated Cornell will play Dart
mouth. probably at Ithaca. Columbia at
New York, Colgate at Ithaca and Penn
at Philadelphia. The suggestion that an
effort be made to secure home and home
games with Penn meets no support in
responsible circles. If there is a jinx
about the Franklin Field game the thing
to do is to keep on trying to beat it.
That's the general view.
Such comments as one hears about
Dobie on the campus are directed more
to his secrecy. than to his coaching.
Secret practice throughout the season
Is not policy that has made much Of
hit. nor do the undergraduates take
kindly to captainless eleven. 1t is
reported that next years team will have
a captain.
Crew schedule plans are maturing
rapidly. Yale and Princeton will send
their varsity and freshman crews to
Cayuga Lake on May 81 next, insuring
one big home rowing date Cornell will
row Harvard at Cambridge probably
on May 2S. The Ithacans will compete
in the intercollegiate regatta. and the
belief here Is that that regatta will be
rowed on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie.
That will suit Cornell.
John Hoyle, Courtney's successor as
rowing coach, is saying little but saw
ing wood Hoyle has eight combinations
in daily practice in the crew room and
he has more than 200 candidates on the
rolls.
An interesting and significant feature
of the present personnel of the crews
is that last years crack freshman eight.
which was one Of the three great fresh
man crews in Cornell history. is rowing
intact as one of the varsity combina-
tions. Every oarsman and Miller, the
great little coxswain. Is eligible and will
strive to become the varsity eight next
