 Into Shape

Ithaca N.

After Col gate, Rutgers will be seen here, and then the Cornellans will go to New Y ork to battle with Dartmouth on the Polo grounds on November $.
 Confidence in Coach Dobie and the team grows apace as the eleven shows contin- ued improvement from week to week, and it is no exaggeration to say that Cor ncllians are looking forward with conti- dence tc successful season. In recent weeks the team has come nicely, show ing a scoring power that is gratifying, based on a sharp, hard-hitting running attack by back field that looks better in every game and on an improved line and end play, Crude playing is still oo- servable, but that was to be expected be- cause the majority of the squad was made up of inexperienced players.
