Football at Cornell.

Captain Wyckoff and coach Marshall Newell are well pleased with the outlook for this year's Cornell eleven. The candidates are far better than they were at this time last year.

Last week the candidates numbered 35. This week with the opening of the University, the number has increased to over 50. With three exceptions last year's team is back. Warner, Colnon and Ohl have not returned. These three positions, left guard, right guard and fullback will be hard to fill.

The only man who can approach Ohl as fullback is Fennell, who played center last year. For tackles the most promising men are Rogers and Freeborn. In addition to these are Hall, stroke of the Henley crew, McLaughlin '98 and Sweetland of last year's Union College team. For ends, Taussig and Beacham have had the most experience, but they will be crowded hard by six or eight other good candidates. Captain Wyck-off will play at quarter, his old position. There is a large number of heavy half-backs. Saussy, Dyer and Starbuck of last year's team, White who played last year with the Elmira A. C., and Johnson of the Chicago A. C., are the most promising.

Cornell has three big games this fall. The first one comes with Harvard at Cambridge, Oct. 21. The second is with Princeton in New York, Nov. 9. The last comes with the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, on Thanks-giving day.
