Cornell Hb Harvard Fast In Dry Conditions
The Cornell team, lighter than Harvard, is reputed to be very fast on a dry field. Cornell’s substitute Pitcher features a clever drop kicker dangerous inside the 30 yard line. Only three of last year’s Red and White players remain in today’s lineup: Captain Simson, Munk, and Seagrave. Cornell has won easily this season, but has not faced strong opposition yet. Harvard plans a near identical lineup to the West Point game, with Huntington at center, Campbell and Morrison moving to Frothingham and Leslie, Wigglesworth at quarterback, and Smith and Lewis at ends. The Crimson’s veteran rush line features McKay, Withington, Fisher, and Minot in key spots.
