Oct. 7.-(8peclal ) With eighty-six candidates In the field for the varsity foot ball team it Is ussurcd that Cornell will this year have even a stronger team than last and dur ing the entire season only one touch down was secured on them and that by Coe college. Coach "Sherm" Finger has had his squads at work for the last four vvetks. quite a number of them being called in btfure the opening of the term, and he has been getting some splendid work out of them. Coppess, considered the bralnest foot ball man that ever worked out on Ash park and recognised as one of the best punters In the coun try, la back with the team, much to the .-ratification of all (ritnds of Cornell. The schedule for this year has not yet been announced, hut Coach Finger ex pects to have it In his possession in a very short time. It is quite probable that they will meet the University of Illinois In two or more games. Last year Cornell had an uninterrupted succession of victories, defeating Leander Clark, Monmouth, Slmson. Coe and Grlnnell. This year they expect to duplicate this recor.l. although their reported acheduls will bring Hum up against much stioUaJoi teams than last year.
