Captain Cook was born among the folk at the tip of Cape Cod. It was natural for him to take to the sea. He was a sailor boy t eleven, before the mast at fourteen, and captain of a fisherman at twenty, mate of a whaling ship at twenty-six, and master at thirty. For twenty years this rugged "toiler of the sea" chased the whale south to the Falkland in the Antarctic Ocean and north to the Banks Land in the Arctic following a course traced out upon no chart, avoiding shoals marked by no buoys...
...picture under discussion, the pose and expression are dignified and impressive. The massive black robed figure stands out against a perfectly painted gray background. The characteristic left hand rests on the hilt of the sword and the right grasps a table covered with red velvet. The gold chain, the tip...
...line-ups, the two teams seem to be about equal in strength. Cool, the Cornell centre, who is, the lightest man in the visiting line, will have his greater experience to offset Taylor's weight; in Anderson and Miller, Dadmun and Cowen will meet two veteran guards who each tip the scales to over 200 pounds, while the new Ithacan tackles may be at a slight disadvantage in opposing veterans Gilman and Parson. Shelton, a skillful end of two years' standing, and Eckley, a former substitute, are the Cornell men who will probably play against Harte and Soucy...
...this year. The rush line from tackle to tackle averages 192 pounds, Cool, at centre, who weighs 168 pounds being the lightest man in the line. He is, however, the oldest man on the squad and a hard fighter with lots of experience. The guards, Anderson and Miller, both tip the scales at over 200 pounds and have proved veritable stonewalls on the defense. Miller, moreover, kicks off and usually drops the ball in the vicinity of the opponent's 10-yard line. At left end Shelton, last year's wonder, promises to surpass his former work. He weighs...
Bradlee was still out of the line-up in order to give his lame foot a chance for thorough recovery. There is but little doubt, however, that he will be in fine shape on Saturday. Gilman was also absent yesterday, but merely to get him in tip-top physical condition, and not because of injury. McKinlock replaced Bradlee, and Cowen supplanted Gilman, the rest of the men appearing in regular order. Mahan did all of the punting during the regular practice, and will probably be used exclusively against Knowles of Yale...
