OPTIMISM IN CAMP
OF CORNELL ELEVEN
Students Do Not Share DObie's
NPessimistic View of the
Teams Chances.
Special Despatch TO THE HrnArp.

ITHACA, n. ", Oct. 10.--Althouah the
Cornell football team played raggedly in
the Rochester game and showed many
evidences of gree mess and crudeness,
undergraduates and football fans here
generally are encouraged considerably
by the developments of the first month of
practice. and they are looking forward
hopefully to consistent Improvement in
the weeks to come. They take Dobie's
word for It that there Is no hope for a
high class football team here this yeac,
but they are inclined to think him unduly
ressinistic.
The team as IL Is emerging from the
cnaos attendant upon the reorganization

rerial is further advanced In handling

ward pass than some previous Cornell
teams. 1t Is expected that the Ithacans
will develop an aerial attack this year !;
Mt least that they win make much
greater use OF open football than Cornell
did under Rush and before him under
Sharpe.
In Quarterback Carey Dobie seems to
have a pretty capable passer, whom he
can use rs threat either for a kick or
pass. in both of which Carey is ac-
complished. If the quarterback had
little more speed he would rank high, and
It is hoped that he will develop speed as
tie season progresses. Dobie has a

Undergraduates and alumni who may De
somewhat disappointed at the compare
lively meagre totals made by some Of
the big college teams last Saturday may
console themselves with the fact that
scores at this stage of the season are OF
minor importance. In the second week
OF a football campaign coaches are more
intent upon putting to the test as many
of their regulars and substitutes as pos
s!ble than upon rolling up huge totals
against so-called minor teams. Now
adays coaches are not showing their
hands In the early games of the season
nor rushing the development of their
squads. They are satisfied to win by a
comfortable margin.
Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania and 9TH
ers experienced more difficulty than had
been anticipated in scoring against their
opponents. but they all gave unquestion-
able evidence Of latent power on attack.
Harvard held to a scoreless tie in the
hrst half of the game with the Valpa-
raiso eleven, came through with a salts
factory rally and scored three touch
downs against a team that had no at
tack, but a splendid defence. Yale sur
p-ised by the North Carolina squad in
the early stages of the fray at New Ha-
ven, also found the punch necessary TO
cross the Southerners line three times.
Pennsylvania. outplayed by Swarthmorc
for the greater part of two periods,
brought a varied offence into play when
needed and triumphed- by three touch
downs to none over the squad that had
given the Princeton eleven a great fight
the previous week.

the teams have very far to go to reach

State College and at Pittsburg are

After the tale of woe that came from
the Princeton football camp last week
and the equally pessimistic reports from

the Tigers and the Ithacans should win
more impressively than the rest OF the

laid particular emphasis on the fact that

Entertaining Reviews
For Football Readers

-rHE NEW YORK HERALD will
entertain its football readers
each SUNDAY morning, follow
ny the major football games in Mo-
.mber with an elabora te review of
The four great battles Of the gridiron,
penned by the master story teller ana
historian of the sport, Parke IL
Davis OF Princeton.
Mr. DAVIS Is a unique and famous
figure in this sport. Thirty years ago
he was a celebrated player at Prince
ton. Upon graduation he became
famous coach and in the pioneer
days of the game founded the foot
ball establishments of several Amerl-
can colleges Throughout his life as
q busy lawyer and man OF affairs
his interest and activity in intercol-
leglate football have mover abated.
He is the author Of the basic book
on the sport For many years he
served as a member of the rules
committee and in that capacity In
vented and incorporated in the rules
many of the games most pleasing
features. Every football player and
follower from the Atlantic to the
Pacific knows Parke Davis to-day as
the final authority on the history,
records and statistics of the sport.
A still greater public perhaps
knows Mr.. Davis as the great his
torian and story teller of the sport.

years in the game, saturated with
the spirit OF the colleges and possess

the Lehigh team. to face the University
Of Rochester eleven here next week, will
probably be stronger than the squad
that defeated Rutgers on Saturday after
noon. For this game it is likely that
CUsick, the star tackle. and DOUGLAS.
the big plunging back, will be recovered
sufficiently to return to the game. The
players were pretty well shaken up dur
ing the Rutgers game, and Maginnes
Goldman, Good and Lingle were forced
to leave because of injuries. Harry
Rote, the fashy little quarterback, prob
ably will be a permanent fixture at that
position.

Colgate again proved by it's to lie
with Allegheny that she is not to i
considered among the leaders of tn
gridron sport this fall. Rutgers braced
and showed impressive Improvement
against Lehigh, although beaten by the
margin of a touchdown and field goal.
Syracuse, like Harvard. Yale and Penn
sylvania, made a weak start against
Johns Hopkins of Baltimore, but came
through with a rousing attack in thu
second half and ran its score up to As
points.
Columbia's defeat Of N. Y. U. and
Fordham's failure against Boston Col
lege make 1T practically certain that the
Blue and White eleven will be entitled
to the local honors by the end of the
season. n. Y. Y. showed every bit as
strong as Columbia in their tussle or
Saturday. and was beaten only by q
tumble. but fumbles are part of the
game, and canno9be offered as an alibi.
There is little dfbt that Columbia has
far more proficient team than any
that has represented the Morningsid
Heights university sf,ce it renewed ac-
Quaintance with football. With Buck
ONeill in charge the squad Is sure to
improve, and both Cornell and Pennayl-
vania will find their hands full when
they meet the Blue and White.

EDUCATIONAL SERIES
 ABSTRACT ADS BEGIN

In the current weekly edition of the Log Cabin Democrat the Faulk- ner County Abstract Company begins series of advertisements which will run throughout the next 12 months. The series will seek to teach the im- portance of titles to land and will cite cases where failure to investigate and correct titles has proved very costly
 The abstract business in Faulkner county has had a remarkable growth during the past few years Former ly 1t was exceptional for an abstract to be demanded when real estate was transferred but now it is practically impossible to sell or to obtain a loan on real estate without an abstract of title furnished by an authorized ab- stracting firm. The claim is made that it is equally important for an owner who does not intend to sell or to bor- row on his land to have an abstract made so that if any defects are dis covered they may be corrected before 1t Is too late.

 MEMORIAL SERVICE

The memorial service for Faulk- ner county young men who died while In military service, announced by the American Legion for next Sunday af- ternoon will be postponed until Sun- day afternoon, March 21, it was an- nounced today by R. H. Weems, ad- Jutant of the Theodore Campbell post. The postponement was decided on &C., count of the illness of Rev. c. M. Reyes, who will deliver the memorial address. A postponement of two weeks was decided to insure ample time for his recovery.
 No public service announced recent ly has aroused the interest already manifested in the memorial exercises. according to various letters written to the legion. All the next of kin of the dead, with one exception, have mo- tlhed the legion that they will attend and receive the commemorative cer- tificate from the French government. An unusually strong interest also has been shown by the public in general. In other cities the largest auditoriums have been to small to accommodate the crowds which wished to attend the le- glons memorial services.
