Hampered by injuries to several of its men, the University Soccer team faces Cornell this afternoon on Soldiers Field at 3 o'clock in the first league game of the season. Lamont has sustained several bad knocks, but will probably play a part of the game at least, and Byington, with a sprained ligament, will hardly be fit for this afternoon.

At any rate, the present compromise satisfies no one and means that the soccer team must spend fourteen extra hours on the train...
