    “BIG RED” ELEVEN STARTS WITH A WIN Cornell Displays Fine Form Against Gettysburg Ithaca, N. r., Sept. 29.-Cornell opened the home football season yes terday by beating Gettysburg by score of 8 to 0, the Ithacans SCOT ing in the second and fourth periods as a result of straight football tac- tics. The hard work of the last two weeks materially checked the vigor of the Cornell attack and two fumbles by Collins when within striking dis. tance of the goal line also helped to keep Cornells tally low. Gettysburg scored first downs on Cornell, but never threatened the goal line. They stopped several of the Ithacans’ rushes. Collins was un- lucky in handling the ball. but he made several brilliant runs, one of the features of the game being the running back of kicks made by him and Barrett. The latter was par ticularly good when it came to mak- ond touchdown when the others failed. Barrett tried twice for goals from the field from the thirty yard line and beyond, but both attempts failed. Cornell uncovered a rush line that promised great strength as it develop ed and it’s back field was materially crippled by the absence of Shiverick, who is suffering from an infected foot Lineup and summary: CORNELL GETTYSBURG Lander .....
