ITHACANS FULLY PREPARING

Cornell is concentrating all her efforts on the approaching game with the University and at a meeting of the entire football squad Monday night, the week's practice was minutely planned. Although the Ithacans have enjoyed a most successful preliminary season, Coach Sharpe apparently is not satisfied with the present condition of the team.

"I am not at all optimistic over the result of the Cornell-Harvard game Saturday," he said in addressing the players, "we are far from the level of last season's condition, and the team is not what it should be physically at this time of the year. The late start this year, fully two weeks behind Harvard's get-off, did not do us any good, and the squad has been slow in rounding into shape for the crucial game of the year. I do not consider the eleven I have at this time the equal of the team that defeated Harvard last fall."

Charles Barrett, who captained last year's championship eleven, witnessed Saturday's game between the University and the Aggies. He will assist the coaches during the week, and instruct the second team in the University's style of play.
