CORNELL HOPES.
 FOR BEST UNDER
 NEW GRID COACH
Snaveley Props Big Red Team for First Yale
 Game Since 1889

Ithaca, N. r., Sept. g = When Cornell opens the Yale football sea- son at New Haven October 3, 1t will be the first meeting of the two schools on the gridiron in 47 years. Back in 1899, the sons of Eli and Ezra played two games with Yale winning both by overwhelming mar gins, the first 56-6 and the second 72-0.
 Since those bygone days, Yale and Cornell have held athletic con- tests in almost every other branch of sport. For years, the rival insti- tutions have met on the basketball court, on the indoor and outdoor track, and on the baseball diamond.
 Promising?
 Cornell, which suffered its most disastrous grid season in 1885 when the Big Red failed to win 8 single game, has new hopes this fall. Coach Carl Snavely, who has one of the finest coaching records in the country, is beginning his first season at the Ithaca institution after a two-year stay at North Carolina in which his teams lost one game each setason.
 Snavely has 8 five-man staff of assistants, all but one of whom are products of his coaching. Max Reed, 8 Bucknell graduate in 1924, will be first assistant. Others on the staff are J. H. (Bo) Rowland, assistant to Vic Hanson at Syracuse last fall, James M. Tatum, recent North Carolina graduate, George K. (Lefty) James, 1930 Bucknell Alum nus, and Nose Quinn, formerly coach in three freshman sports at Bucknell.
 Young Blood
 Thirty-two of the fifty-five mem- bers of the Cornell squad who have been working out twice daily since September 2 are spohomores. Only three of the 12 lettermen remain ing from the Dobie era have been working with the first team, with sophomores completing the rest of the lineup.
 Ted Hughes of Pittsburgh, Pa., is back at his center post which he held on the ill-starred 1895 team. Captain Jack Baton, outstanding member of the eleven last fall,> has been alternating with sophomores at two positions in the backfield and will see considerable service at one post or the other. Elliot Hooper, who played back under Dobie, has been at right guard on the varsity since fall drills began.
 Others in the first team lineup are Spang and Roth, sophomore ends, McKeever and Van Ranst, sophomore tackles, Hooper and Hemingway, guards. Backs are Baker, Sheffer, Rose, and Holland, all second-year men. Batten alter mates with Baker and Sheffer. Others very much in the Cornell picture this fall are Boochever, Ros- sitter, and Stahl, ends; Siemer, Lev- entry, Kennedy, Steinman and Buell. tackles; Gunsch, Rutledge. Wilson and Politi, guards; Pfeiffer and Conable, centers.
 Snavley has more backfleld ma- terial than line material, and he has shifted several of his former backs to the line. Roth and Spang, varsity ends at present, are both former backs to the line. Roth and Spang, varsity ends at present, are both former backs, as is Boochever, another end.
 Among the reserve backs are Peck, six foot two inch, 188-pound climax runner who can step the quarter mile in 50 seconds, Whitey Nelson. a letterman from Spring. field, Mass, Ollie Gildersleeve of Gildersleeve, Conn, Red Mountain, Bill ziegler, Charley Scholz and Bob Meagher.
