coupled with the poor offense work of the University players was the chief factor in the University's defeat. The poor offensive, however, was partially offset by the effective work of the University's defense men, who managed to keep the score down within reasonable limits...
Figuring on probable 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...
...that department of the line does not at this time seem to have been changed much for the better or for the worse. From tackle to tackle, weight, at least, has been lost in the substitution of R. C. Curtis and Caner for Parson and Bigelow, but this is offset by the power of the trio at centre, for Wiggin is flanked by two very strong and heavy men in Cowen and Dadmun...
...overstrained in last week's encounter, and has been doing the lightest sort of work since then. Legore will also still be kept out of the game. His shoulder is still weak and the coaches are unwilling to take any chances with him. However this is offset by the return of Black and Betts, both line-men. The former was the Captain and star of last year's freshman eleven. Only recently have they been able to remove their scholastic conditions. Great progress has been made in every department the last week. In the Lehigh game last year Yale worked...
...Dartmouth on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock. From a comparison of past scores, the game should go to the University, for the Dartmouth aggregation is weaker than it has been for several years. However, the probable inferiority of the visiting team is to a great extent offset by the condition of the University men, which has been seriously affected by the forced travelling of the past few days. Coach Haughton will probably start R. B. Frye '15 in the box, while the pitching task for Dartmouth rests between Parrott and Perry...
