ITHACA, N. Y., Nov. %.—There was a elight letup in the work of the Cor- nell squad yesterday, The Red and White did not have any scrimmage and the backs and three centre men in the line did not even have to work out, ‘The ends and tackles, however, went through a gruelling practice at getting down under punts, devoting the whole afternoon to this work./ At night all the men attended the moving pictures which were shown of the Chicago game. e To-day serimniaging will be resumed | and the toam will get what 1s expected to be the most tmportant practice ba: fore the Penn game and the final line: up ought to be determined to @ great extent on the showing to-da: Mo some ts scheduled for Y. the big Red team ww- Cornell-Penn fresh+ man game being the attraction at Percy Field, Fo this time of the season the Cor is In a very unsettled oondi- During the past week the back- has been greatly shaken up, and ‘actices that remain {t will be dificult to whip the team into anything like the shape ft ought to be in to win the Pem vania gave.

It seems that Swat, on account of his gigantic stature and unflinching nerve, Was engaged to play in this particular game. He was not to go in, howeve: until the second half or whenever the psychological moment should arrive. In those days there was a rule in vogue jthat fleld goals could be made trom jPunts as well as drop iicks provided the kicker notified the referee in ad- vance that he was about to take the shot. Swat's plans had been carefully laid and just before the game the Upped off by h's secret service men concerning a plot that had been hatched up to bring about his downfall and smear a spot on his athletic escutcheon. ‘The conspirators, knowing that Sw. would surely drive the Garfish team back from the Nettle Rash goal line, got ther and devised a new footbail that could be slipped into the game at the proper moment. This ball was as ght as a feather and could be kicked ninety yards if necessary.

Yes, Fred the Giants, Just before starting for Denver he told the story himself, It seems that Andrew Freedman, who, at that time, was getting @ new manager every other day, called Knowles in his office and declared himself dissatisfied with the new man. “Fred,” he said, “I have decided to make you manager, and I want you to go ahead and take charge of the team, Your job starts Proud of Veing manager, however, he got on the elevated train and started for the Polo Grounds. No sooner had he reached the box office than he celyed a telegram from Freedman countermanding the order. “1 was, therefore, manager of the )Glants for forty-five minutes,” says } Knowles, ‘And I belleve t « the record.” between George Boehm, George Judge Olmstead and others, Mr. Boehm vrvke up the party by relating the story*of a game played up in Miohi- gan, which he declares was the coldest on record, “A UtUle thing ke snow doesn’t bother them up there,” said Mr. Boehm, "They simply got out the street sweeper and cleared off a spot large enough for the |dlamond, The only trouble was that they had to change the rules, If the ball froze to the eateher's hands the ground rule allowed the runner to take | but one extra base, A dozen balls were fioai om accouwt of being iit inte the it ts} late | Knowles, at one time, was manager of ) now.

There wae a t shout as Swat ap- peared on the field in the second halt and by degrees he was gradually driving back the Garfish line, Finally the ball was ninety yards away from the goal and then it was that the conspirators decided to ring in the trick ball. As soon as the Garfish back notified tie referee of his intention of trying for & goal Swat dropped back near the goal posts presumably to make «# catch, There was a deadly silence as Steve Whangfoot, the Garfish punter, stuck his toe into the ball and started it toward the Nettle Rash goal like a bul- let. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty and ft yards It sped on. Then, when {t looked like a certain goal, a most peculiar thing happened. There was the sharp crack of a rifle in the distance. Swat had giv- en the signal to his old sleuth. The bul- let from the rifle sped to its mark with deadly precision. The plece of metal and the lodestone were shot from the side of the ball. The bullet then tore throug! the ball and the . rushed out with a hiss. The collapsed ball, instead of con- tinuing its fight, dropped squarely into the outstretched hands of one 8. Milll- gan. Without further ado Swat rushed across the fleld, trampling down tack- Jers and brushing ends aside until he had planted the wilted pigskin squarely between the goal posts. It was impos- tance behind the goal posts and directly faible to make a goal with the collapsed ball, but five points were enou, Ne Nettle Rashes had won. apene ne deep snow of the outfield, and a rule was adopted which limited all balls hit into the enow banks to two base: “T suppose the ball players also had their waiskey froze and took a chew every once in a while," Gay, suggested Mr, that isn’t was the repl because ear muffs and couldn't Seintiiien RUTGERS AND STEVENS MEET IN HOBOKEN. A rattling good game of football is expected this afternoon at Castle Field, Hoboken, when the elevens of Stevens Institute and Rutgers College clash in their annual battle, These two teams are bitter ;ridiron foes, just as bitter foes as Yale and Princeton, and each does its utmost to win this game.

"The only work yesterday was in the nature of brushing up a few algnals and @ short run around the track, The probable Indian lineup against Johns Hopkins will be: Left end, Large; left tackle, Newashe; left guard, Jordan; centre, Bergle; right guard, Busch; right tackle, Williams; right end, Vedern quarterback, Welch; right hath halfback, Wheelock; fullt This array can at present 1 changed to Carlisle's advantage. Warner and Dr. Treibley are pleased with the men, and Coach Warner sald that he had every hope that his players would win from Johns Hopkins, It {¥ understood hero that the Balti- moreans are on keen edge for to-day's game, and Carlisle is fully prepared for a close fight. The Redskins left this morning for the Maryland event, and carried a squad of twenty-four, Carlisle's second team went to Youngstown, O. Welch's back is in good, shape and Capt.

All of this goes to show that ground gaining under the old-atyled offeise of straight football 1s a thing of the past. Harvard has one valuable asset in her ability to work the forward page, The Crim on worked {t against, Princeton to- wards the finish of the game and made it possible for a plunge through ccatre for a touchdown—one of the few “‘legi- timate" touchdowns of the season.
