...Ithaca, N. Y., November 2, 1909.--In a fast scrimmage with the scrubs this afternoon, the Cornell team scored but once, on a quarterback run by Baker. Although the wet field hindered the work somewhat, the men played with good team-work and followed their interference very well. As the coaches were perfecting several new plays, the practice was secret. The team lined up as follows: Kulcher, l.e.; Stude, l.t.; Donnan, l.g.; Seagrave, c.; O'Connor, r.g.; Weeks, r.t.; Crosby, r.e.; Baker, q.b.; Tydeman, l.h.b.; Krutsch, r.h.b.; Simson...
...Ithaca, N. Y., November 1, 1909.--The Cornell coaches ran the squad through signal practice for three hours today. Falling on the ball, getting down under punts, and tackling, for which the men were divided into four squads with two or three coaches in charge of each, took up a good part of the afternoon. No scrimmage was held, but the linemen were sent against each other in trying out several formations...

Although the men went to Ithaca confident in their strength, the crew had not shown the improvement it should have since the Columbia race, in spite of the fact that the men were even better together. This confidence either amounted to gross over-confidence or the men overrated their strength. The crew rowed poorly, losing...
...Freshman crew is an exceptionally fast eight. The order has remained unchanged with the exception of a few days since about the middle of April. Although the crew was badly beaten by the Cornell freshmen in their two mile race at Ithaca on May 31, it was simply defeated by an all-round superior crew, and contrary to popular opinion rowed very well. After this race the crew improved in its work at Cambridge, and up to date at New London the improvement has continued. During the whole season the chief fault of the crew has been a tendency...
...first time since the Cornell game at Ithaca on May 29 the University team will present its regular line-up as MacLaughlin has returned to second base. A new batting order will be tried this afternoon, with Simons in fourth place and Aronson in eighth. Hartford and Hicks will probably share the pitching, both today and Saturday. The former will start the game this afternoon. The practice yesterday and the day before went smoother than for some time and the team should be able to play its best game from...
