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...
Another close finish occurred in the two-mile run. E. L. Viets '10, starting with 40 yards handicap, won first place in 10 minutes and 13 seconds, finishing less than a yard ahead of P. R. Withington '12, who ran from scratch. R. H. Rowse '12 was third...
West Point won the toss and acting-captain Byrne chose to receive the kick off at the north end, having the wind at his back. P.

Here O'Flaherty sent a forward...

The tenant offered more than he could pay and in a few years...
Harvard kicked off to Rogers who ran back 7 yards. Andover rushed the ball to the centre of the field and there lost it on downs. A forward pass to Hollister netted 8 yards, and, after two interchanges of punts, Sheldon tried an onside kick which Lewis recovered. Sheldon regained the ball for Andover on the next play on a fumble. Andover rushed 19 yards in four plays, and then fumbled, Sheldon again recovering the ball. J. Parker was substituted for Hollister, and Parmenter for Keays. Lewis kicked to Paradise. Porter went in for Ripley, the only change...
