Cornell Swimmers
Try To Boost
Aquatics

Cornell swimmers want recog-
milton. Fully convinced that
they have little chance Of intro
ducing swimming into the select
circle Of varsity sports of Ithaca
they have issued a petition ad-
vocating the reinstatement of the
tank activity as a minor endeavor
of their alma mater. In view Of
the. gradually increasing impor-
lance being shown to water
events at the other prominent
universities and colleges it is
very probable that the Red am
phibians will gain their point.

Winter League Fines
Ty Cobb $50
After Row

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21.-
Tyrus Cobb, manager of the base
ball club and manager Of the San
Francisco team Of the California
Winter League, was fined $3.50 as
the result Of an alteration be-
tween Cobb and Umpire Phyle
during Saturdays game between
the San Francisco and Vernon
clubs here, it became known.
Cobb was fined $50 for using
abusive language and 500 for de-
laying the game.

players playing against the home

roasted and hooted and jeered during
the regular season appearing or the

They didn't like II, and found II
difficult to keep track Of the games.
They couldn't root against their own
idols because appearing in strange
uniforms, and they couldn't enthrone
new idols from those they had been
accustomed to pulling against.
This arrangement unquestionably
hurt the attendance after the first
day. But the whole thing is an ex-

are successful only after many mis-

fects Of the hard, grueling game
against Princeton.
At the opening of the second hall
Yale rushed the ball we'll into Har
wards territory, but again showed q

to utilize the forward pass to any ad
vantage which absolutely prevented 9

Referee Maxwell blocked the Harvard

game.
Buell. Shows Brains.
Harvard now took the offensive,
tuIcc VI cwoh Gu
ried the ball across the line on a
cross-back. Buell. showed wonderful
selection Of plays and great head
work in these last three or four
rushes for touchdown and out
guessed the Yale forwards on every
play.
Harvard showed very deceptive
rush through the center. The play
started from the kick formation as
If the second man in the tandem
were about to make a forward pass.
Owen. who is back in the kicker's
position, took the ball out of the
passer's hands and ran straight
through the center Of the line on
Yale had nothing left to come back
with except Aldrich, and he did
yeoman service for few minutes.
The brilliant Eli captain brought the
kickoff back to mid-field, and through
his own magnificent running carried
the ball deep into Harvard territory.
Yale then tried the forward pass with
disastrous results.
Blair was sent in at left end and
Aldrich started as II on a run around
his own right and threw a pass
diagonally across the line, which was
recovered by a Harvard back, who
ran the ball to mid-field. Owen made
another touchdown a moment or two
later, but was called back by the Off
cials. Yale tried several passes, most
of which were intercepted. Both
teams put in a flock of substitutes
toward the end. with Harvard holding
the advantage.
Yale showed nothing like the form
shown against Princeton. This game
evidently took a lot out of the team,
and, as said in my article before the
game. had very little in the way of
an offense except Aldrich. The Har-
ward team put up a magnificent game
and got much better as the minutes
went by. Buell. showed himself a real
field general and Owen q great run
