  CORNELL TEAM WINS HARD FOUGHT BATTLE Finds Lafayette Defence Weak and Makes a Straight March Down Field. A MUCH IMPROVED ELEVEN New Arrangement of Players Expected To Be Held for Thanksgiving Day Game with u. of Penn. icy Telegraph TO The Tribune Ithaca, n. Y, Nov. l5-Cornell triumphed over Lafayette to-day. and By taking advantage of poor defence sue ceeded In pilng UP 10 points against for the visitors. Both teams fought hard. but after Cornell scored Lafayette apparemily weakened. and gave way for a straight march down field for touch down i’m the second quarter. Barrett feat ured the work for the Red and White, showing fine form in getting in many long punts and end runs. Scheeren, for the visitors shared equal honors with Barrett, but his punts never equalled those OF the Cornell quarterback. The game to-day stands out In comparison with the former games in that there was less open field work. although dur ing the last quarter nearly every third play was a punt. One thing was demon strated by to-day’s showing. and that is that COrnell’s reorganized varsity Is a success. Fritz and Shelton, at ends, proved too much for Lafayette, as very few of her end runs or forward passes were successful. and only IN few cases were Barrett’s punts run back for any ! considerable distance. The new varsity won because of it’s ability to strike hard when the time came. Lafayette made its only score at the end of the first quarter, when Scheeren made pretty drop kick from the 25-yard line In the early part Of the quarter Barrett had tried similar play from the 30 yard line, but was somewhat handicapped by the Lafayette men breaking in on him. The reason for Lafayette getting so near to the Cornell goal can be at tributed TO the fact that Cornell was PEN allied twice for holding, one OF the times being on a 20-yard end run by Barrett BY the end of the quarter Cornell had succeeded in rushing the ball TO Lafaycites 2S-yard line, so that at the begin ming of the next quarter the way was clear for Barrett to kick field goal, which he did perfectly. After the next kickoff either Cornalls offence took decided brace or Lafayette’s defence weakened, for after exchanging punts Barrett broke through the line for a 30-yard dash and placed the ball on the opponents 2O-yard line. Barrett again featured in the next play, and by making an end run rushed the ball to the 5-yard | line Colyer then took the ball In j. yard plunge through centre and paved the way for Barrett to make touchdown o. | poughing through the line. He also kicked the goal. Another chance for Cor nell TO score came later In the quarter. | After exchanging punts Cornell nnaiiy succeeded In rushing the ball to Lafay- | cites 16-yard line. The visitors line, now | ever, held like stone wall. and the pan was lost on downs. Brilliant Individual playing by Lataycite marked the opening OF the second half. Kennedy, J. Diamond and Schee:en each made long end runs, which LOT , time seemed to threaten Corners goai. Fumbles and failures at passes proved costly to the men from Easton, and the ball was finally lost to the home team. At the last minute Fritz. assuming MS Ola position In the backfeld. made a good gain. and the ball was stopped IN MO field at the end of the quarter. The last quarter was mostly uneVentiui’ The playing, however, was hard, ana sew eral of Lafayette’s players had 10 De SUI stituted on account OF injuries. IL was also during this period that barretts knee was injured and he had 10 oe helped from the field Taber substituting There was no end TO line plunging’ neither side seeming to have any advantage over the other. Although the Cornell team as a whole deserves praise. the work Oh few individual players stands out pre-emlnently. Barretts work speaks for itsei’ but due attention must be given 10 COL YER. the halfback. who was formerly tackle. TO Lair and TO Phillippi. All nlaved a smashing game from start 10 snish. In the work OF linemen captain ,Jnnns and Fritz were responsible TOT good defensive work. From TO-DAY i.u cations it is more than probable that ‘he present lineup will be the one u iae’ Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving Day The line-up follows:

Y, Nov. 15.-The reorganized Cornell football team revitalized and given the best support of the year. defeated Lafayette this afternoon by the score Of 10 to 3, and gave by all odds the best exhibition Of the year. The Ithacans defense was feature, Lafayette failing to make any headway, and Scheeren’s rushes at line and end prov ing futile. Shelton, in particular. played a splendid defensive game and II was apparent that the reorganizations of the team had proved highly beneficial. Collyer. the new half back. drafted from the line, funnbIed frequently and there were bits of ragged work, but on the whole Cornell had more power than at any time before this season. Lineup:
