ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. 26.--
Were rotten" said Mr.. Dobie,
without parley, preamble or de-
bate.
One of these times, some team
is going to beat Cornell by a
score of Sc to O and Mr.. Dobie
will be substantiated in every re-
spect. With good will toward all
and favor toward none, the writer
hopes this condition of affairs
will transpire with all due haste.
He has become a bit wearied of
MIR. Dobie's phobia, SO to speak.
AS matter of fundamental fact.
Cornell is neither good nor gosh
awful. 1t is just like young man
trying to get along.
Or the eleven men who start a
football game up this way, seven
are sophomores. Mr.. Dobie. with
his customary eye for detail, is
looking ahead. For the moment,
he has one good tackle and that is
almost enough. Give Mr.. Dobie a
tackle who knows his business on
attack and you usually give him
shotgun with the. muzzle pointed
In the general direction of some
where.
Pm sorry 1 have a captain" he
has been quoted as saying. Other
wise, l would have only ten nlen
to pick"
This, to the writer, is so much
Malarkey, in view of the fact
that the captain in question is
KeaTney, rated as one of the
best tackles in this section last
year. They do say, however,
Kearney's job ere this If Kearney
hadn't been captain of the outfit.
You can take this story for what
il may be worth, or even less.
The significant fact is that Kear-
ney has started all of the games
to date with Hill as a running
mate and Aird in reserve. They
say that Evens, who has been hurt
is another good tackle.
All of those mentioned, with the
exception of Kearney, are sopho-
mores Other second year men on
Rapuno, center; COPYRIGHT, end,
and Gassner, Butterfield, Islay, and
Rosenberg, backs.
BY and large, they make quite. i
football team and Cornell, with it's
usual shock-absorbing schedule,
should coast right along to the
Pennsylvania game, where it will
cease to coast quite abruptly and
without further notice.
DObie expects to lose to Penn
fF1sC which
nothing unusual. He expects to
lose to everybody and sometimes
he is right. However, the chances
are good at this moment that
Cornell will not lose by three
fOuchdOWns as il did i'm 1924, in
spite of the ineligibility of Mo-
lent, its star plunger.
Its ends, Ludy and Fennell, are
experienced but not as good as the
1924 pair. The tackles are better.
So are the guards, with Munns,
the best man in the center of the
1924 line. still holding forth. Afield
was a right good center last year.
but the boys say he has finished
second to Hapuno thus far this
season. This either makes Rapuno
a remarkable center or the boys
remarkable fabricators.
The backfield punch is supplied
by Wesser at quarterback with his
kicking, running and passing. He
was in the 1924 combination and
is quoted a worthy youth Islay,
Gassner, Carpenter. Frat, Butter
field. Rosenberg, Hand; Robinhold,
Sinclair, Trefets and . others also
take whirl at the hackfield game.
None of them are really good,
Mr.. Dobie would agree with this
none of them are really bad. Even
statement if he wasn't Mr.. Dobie.
