Today he faces stiff opposition none the loss. His opponent is Buell Hollister, and though the Eli was not so fortunate at Philadelphia, he is the Connecticut State Champion, and will prove to be a formidable opponent.

But Cornell improved rapidly, and when they met in the Heptagonal games, Woodland barely beat him out; and he was not to be held off for long, for at Franklin Field two weeks later the Big Red ace was crowned IC4A champion, beatting off the Eli captain-elect in a furious finish. The rivalry between the two will be continued tomorrow night, and though most of the deposters...
