FOOTBALL WITH CORNELL

First Game Since 1897 Arranged to be Played in Stadium Next Fall.

The University football management has made the announcement that a game with Cornell to be played in the Stadium on November 6 has been included in the schedule for next fall, subject to the approval of the Athletic Committee. As yet no arrangement has been made in regard to a return game to be played at Ithaca. The athletic relations between Harvard and Cornell have always been most friendly, as is shown by this change in the teams which the University will meet in football. The date of the Indian game, which was played on November 7 last fall, will probably be October 23.

It is now twelve years since the University football team has met Cornell, though in the early nineties the game figured in the schedule with great regularity. The last game was played in 1897, when the University team won by the score of 24 to 0. This makes the sixth sport in which Harvard and Cornell compete directly, the others being rowing, baseball, relay racing, association football and lacrosse.
