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...

...same as in the previous games, with the exception of Captain Fish, whose position will be filled by L. Withington. The backfield will have Frothingham, Leslie and Long, three men who have shown up well during the week's practice, and O'Flaherty will start the game at quarterback...
