CORNELL ENTRAINS
FOR POLO GROUNDS
Squad of Thirty-three Leaves
Ithaca to Play Dartmouth
Eleven.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
ITHACA, Nov. 9.-The Cornell football
squad of thirty-three players left Ithaca
tonight for New York to play Dart
varsity men in their berths at an early
hour. so that they missed the peppy
mass meeting staged by the undergrads
The varsity worked out on a wet
field for about half an hour this after
noon and then shifted to the baseball
cage, where practically all of the plays
Pfann is to use Saturday were re-
hearsed. The team seems to be in fine
shape for what Is expected to be the
hardest game of the year.
Dobie has lost no opportunity of warn
ing his players against overconfidence
and of the great comeback they may
expect from the Green team. There
seems to be no doubt that the Ithacans
realize that they are up against a stiff
proposition. They are, however, well
equipped. and Comedians look for the
big Red" team to put on a fine game.
The squad will look over the playing
field at the Polo Grounds tomorrow
afternoon. though II is unlikely that they
will try to practice. The makeup Of the
varsity is the same as in the Columbia
game, Post probably starting at FULL
back. Cassidy is in good condition. but
Dobie says he won't start. Henderson
and Gouinlock will play ends, Hanson
and Sundstrom tackles. Flynn and Rollo
guards, Richards center, Pfann quarter
back Kaw and Ramsey halfbacks and

COLUMBIA VARSITY
SCORES FOUR TIMES
Hammers Seconds in Only
Scrimmage Drill for Game
With Middlebury.

Buck O'Neill put his Columbia varsity
through it's first and last scrimmage Of
the week yesterday IN preparation for
the game with Middlebury at South
Field tomorrow. For forty-five min
utes the first and second teams kept
pegging away at each other, with the
regulars scoring four touchdowns. The
rest of the practice period was given
over to another lesson in fundamentals.
A different set of forwards than that
which took the field against Cornell was
in harness yesterday. Fischer and
Stretch were at the tackles. with Gehrig
and Brodll playing guard and Blaine
playing center. Myers is now off the
injured list and took his regular place at
end for the first time since the game
with New York University. Tiihonen
held down the other wing job. but II is
more than likely. that Johnson. whose
ankle received another setback at
Ithaca, will be o. X. by to-day and will
start tomorrow.
The backfield will be the same as
opened y against Cornell. Canapary
showed a lot closer acquaintance with
the plays in the scrimmage than he did
at Ithaca, and consequently Is expected
to do much better work tomorrow. For
his running mates he will have Burtt,
quarterback Koppisch. left halfback,
and Roderick, fullback.

lot to-day, and after to-nights straw
covering is removed smother right sort OF
day wll do a lot.
The varsity workout was not so hard
as that of yesterday, but It was by no
means easy. The first team and the one
which is counted on to face the Tigers
opened up with vigorous dummy scrim-
mage against the substitutes, and then
worked in the same sort of drill against
the best of the scrubs. The varsity re-
manned strictly on the defensive against
the scrubs, but took the offensive against
the substitutes
The sub-varsity and the sub-scrubs
also had drill together, and the days
work completed Harvard's preparation
for its match with the Tigers except for
to-morrow's short workout on kicks and
plays.

ton of their team carefully, Wally Trum-
bull, the former tack'o coach, giving the
ends some special tutoring in close rush

the scrimmages. with owen and Gehrke
both getting splendid distance for the

tutes.
