male with him with his hood pulled down over his eyes, ” Pealo wrote in his statement

Gale took the box of marijuana as Pealo was retrieving it from his car and ran to the Stewart Ave bridge, Pealo recounted As the Pealo struggled to retrieve the box, Gale stabbed him in the thigh

Zachary Pealo, 27, the victim of the stabbing, said he arranged to sell Gale marijuana and met him near Stewart Ave to complete the sale, according to the documents

“I got a weird feeling when we were walking back to my Jeep because Lee was supposed to be alone and he had another

Pealo’s friend who was present at the sale attempted to intervene, but an unidentified man in a hood threatened him with a gun, IPD told The Ithaca Voice

“Hey, you don’t want any part of it It’s not worth it,” the hooded man reportedly said Police have still not identified this second suspect and are asking that people to share any information they have about the crime

Gale is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing today at 2 p m Police are still searching for information on the second, unidentified suspect

Rawlings also updated the assembly on the search for the Cornell’s next president, saying it is “going well” and that the committee has been “winnowing” candidates

“They are looking forward to a successful conclusion sometime in the next several months,” he said “I’m pretty confident that they will be able to announce a new president by the end of this year and that the new president will start as soon as possible ”

He also announced that the the first ever recipient of the President’s Award for Innovation in Diversity and Inclusion will

they do happen anywhere, we are a single community, one Cornell, confronting such things with our own views and our own cohesion, celebrating and seeking to understand both our differences and the things we hold in common ”

This unity is important in light of current divisions in American society which manifest themselves in newspapers, t e l

according to Rawlings

“It’s especially important that we set a better example that we show that we are a united community, that we do have values and principles that are common to all of us that we believe in and that we exhibit,” he said “Not just talking about them but doing them ”

“This will be a great opportunity for us to reach across the line ... dividing upstate and downstate ”

“It is very important that we in this community make sure that those events do not happen here,” he said “And that when

Rawling identified collaboration between Cornell’s different campuses as another facet of ‘One Cornell ’ The Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island which is set to open next year will increase the University’s visibility in the city, becoming one of very few institutions with a strong presence in both upstate and downstate New York, he said

“That’s a remarkable opportunity for us to reach across the line that is so prevalent in New York State history dividing upstate and downstate,” he said “There is a palpable difference in New Yorkers views of upstate and downstate Cornell is one of the very few institutions that bridges that

gulf I think it’s important for us to do it well Cornell staff can help us do this ”

He added that the University has the “responsibility” to serve New York in its role as the state ’ s land-grant university, and that this role is best fulfilled through both upstate and downstate efforts

Collaborative projects like the Lean Process Improvement project which allows staff to learn how to improve a process are examples of the partnerships Rawlings envisions He said almost 600 Cornellians have participated in these process improvement teams since 2013, and that the work has taken place in New York City as well as Ithaca

“If we want this institution to sail beyond excellence, we are going to need the innovation and ingenuity of our staff.”

“Eighty-five teams so far have improved work-flow and made it possible to do more work that actually adds value,” Rawlings said “That’s a big deal for us to have staff actually come up with the ideas that help us save time and energy, because you all are the ones who are closest to the work ”

The lean process approach has contributed $5 5 million in “added value bene f i t s ” t o t h e Un i ve r s i t y, a c c o rd i n g t o Rawlings

Ithaca Congressman Maintains Support for Trump

DEBATE

Continued from page 1

this an election about him rather than the people and for dragging the countr y down with him ” W h i l e t h e C o r n e l l Re p u b l i c a n s a l s o c o n d e m n e d

Former Secretar y of State Hillar y Clinton’s debate performance Corn said she “despises” Clinton more ever y time she opens her mouth the Cornell Democrats lauded the Democratic nominee for remaining “unfazed” during the debate

“Clinton deftly highlighted Trump’s long record of hate, defused his conspiratorial rhetoric and explained her agenda for improving the lives of Americans,” said Cornell Democrats President Kevin Kowalewski ’17

Corn added that she wished that Johnson, her club’s choice for president, had been present on the debate stage to force Clinton to “actually answer questions on her foreign policy record, and force Trump to prepare more than one liners attacking Clinton ” Johnson made headlines in early September when he failed to recognize the name of Aleppo, the Syrian city that has been the epicenter of the countr y ’ s refugee crisis, and again a few weeks later when he was unable to name a foreign leader he admired Austin McLaughlin ’18, Cornell Republicans execu-

Presidential Debate’s rules closed out third party voices like Johnson’s “Gar y Johnson and [his running mate] Bill Weld would have offered a mediating perspective to millions of Americans that likely agree with them but do not know

“Clinton deftly highlighted Trump’s long record of hate [and] defused his conspiratorial rhetoric ”

“Unfortunately that perspective was never provided due to the CPD cutting them out of the debates despite being within the margin of error of 15 percent We are left with two extremely disliked candidates, one an ‘extremely careless’ stateswoman to quote FBI Director James Comey and the other an unfit blowhard ” McLaughlin added that Trump’s debate performance should exacerbate opinions that Trump has failed to outline a coherent, consistent stance on important policy

issues McLaughlin referenced Trump’s disagreement with his running mate, Mike Pence, on how to best handle the crisis in Syria, and Trump’s shift from advocating an allout ban on Muslim immigration to calling for “ extreme vetting” of Muslim immigrants as evidence that Trump has not “thoroughly thought out ” his platform

“Although I do not agree with Clinton’s positions on many issues, at least they were coherently framed,” McLaughlin said “ Trump darted from one idea to the next, and at times did not answer the question ”

Congressman Tom Reed (R-N Y ), who represents the Ithaca area and was one of the first congressmen to endorse Trump, issued a statement Monday condemning the Republican nominee’s remarks on the tape However, he refused to join a growing crowd of Republicans withdrawing their support for the candidate, saying instead that a “Hillar y Clinton presidency is unacceptable ” “ We have to change the D C establishment so I continue supporting Donald Trump as an outsider who will shake up D C , ” Reed said in the statement

Reed’s seat is being challenged by Democrat John Plumb, a former staffer in the Obama administration

Letter to the Editor

To t h e Ed i t o r : My name is Carly Popofsky and I am a Cornell Graduate (Arts and Sciences, 2008) living in New York City I also happen to be Jewish, and, like I do ever y fall, spent two days obser ving the Holiday of Rosh Hashanah with my family Another seasonally recurring event that happened over the past two days was the nightly receipt of a solicitation call from the Cornell Annual Fund

Beyond the fact that I have already given to Cornell this year, nothing makes me feel more disrespected than Cornell, a University with a strong Jewish community, contacting Jewish alumni on a Jewish holiday to ask for additional donations without the forethought to avoid contact during one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar year

Few things are as special to me as my Cornell education, and it is something I would like to keep supporting for generations to come but I would like to feel good about it I am shocked and appalled that the Annual Fund has not taken holidays into consideration during the plans for solicitation (though I am certain no one will be calling alumni on Christmas), and hope this will be addressed immediately

Editor’s Note: Since this letter was written, the policy has been changed

Compare genomes of affected horses to discover which breeds are more susceptible

At Cornell University’s Baker Institute for Animal Health, groundbreaking horse health research is not surprising but standard Such is the tone with which Prof Doug Antczak ’69, animal science, refers to various scientific feats that have emerged from the 66year-old facility, although the professor mentions the endeavors of his predecessors before his own work

Regardless, Antczak, in collaboration with colleagues from Cornell University, the University of Glasgow, Iowa State University and the University of Florida, recently published findings from a research project of their own The team proposed that genetic differences in horse species could allow for papillomavir us-induced sarcoid (skin) tumors to grow in some horses and not others

This papillomavir us is similar to one found in humans, known as Human Papillomavir us (HPV ), and the group ’ s findings could shed light on whether cer tain people are more susceptible to the vir us and subsequently the cer vical cancer it causes

Sarcoid skin tumors are the “ most common tumor of any kind described in the horse,” Antczak said, with tumors coming in various shapes and sizes and potentially occurring anywhere on a horse’s body

Although these tumors are often not fatal – they are categorized as non-malignant – the placement of a tumor could inter fere with the functionality of the horse, for example if the tumor lies in the same location as where the saddle sits Horses get sarcoid tumors if they are exposed to papillomavir us, but the way cer tain horses became exposed to the vir us was misunderstood prior to this study

Now, A n t c z a k b e l i e ve s t h a t h i s t o c o m p a t i b i l

genes, responsible for ensuring that tissues are compatible in different horses, are the root of why not all horses are equally susceptible to these tumors The team came to this conclusion based on a genome wide

genomes of horses suffering from sarcoid tumors to those that were not “ We determined that horses of cer tain breeds got sarcoid [skin tumors] more often than other breeds,” Antczak said He first noticed a difference in horse susceptibility after combing through decades of veterinar y hospital

admission records From this, Antczak proposed that Standardbred horses are missing a specific gene that would other wise allow for sarcoid tumors to grow

Antczak compared the presence of this specific histocompatibility gene to differences in eye color

“If a disease-free population is made up of people with exclusively brown eyes, and a disease is known to be associated with people who have blue eyes, then the gene for blue eyes most likely allows for you to get that disease,” Antczak said “Here, it’s exactly the same thing, except instead of having brown and blue eyes, you ’ ve got 10 different colors ”

In this way, sarcoid tumors are considered a complex disease, impacted by both a genetic and an environmental component The genetic component is the histocompatibility gene that allows the horse to acquire the papillomavir us, while the environmental component is the exposure to the vir us itself

Cer vical cancer in humans is also a complex disease, except the vir us of impor tance is HPV, a type of papillomavir us which is specific to humans Despite the difference in species, however, the general mechanism of obtaining the disease is the same

“ There are genetic variations in the same genetic region in women with cer vical carcinoma caused by Human Papillomavir us, ” Antczak said, referring to where the genes for papillomavir us susceptibility was discovered in horses

Thus, just as animal scientists can now identify which horse breeds are more likely to become infected by the papillomavir us, doctors may one day be able to identify which humans are more susceptible to HPV

It is impor tant to note that while papillomavir us may be linked to cer tain histocompatibility genes in horses, humans and many other mammalian species, the exact mechanism behind why this is the case is still a myster y Additionally, while animal scientists may now be able to determine which horse breeds are more likely to get exposed to the papillomavir us, the range of susceptibility in horses of the same breed is yet to be quantified

Despite these unknowns, Antczak considers this project one of his favorites because of these ver y complexities

“It’s got ever ything,” Antczak said “It’s a tumor, it’s an infection which causes a tumor, there’s a genetic basis, there’s lots of variation that we don’t understand and it’s an impor tant disease in humans, of course ”

What would you explore if you owned your own spacecraft? The rings of Saturn? The surface of Mars? Research conducted by Cornell University’s Cislunar Explorers could soon make these dreams a reality

By trying to create a spacecraft capable of using water as rocket fuel, Prof Mason Peck, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and his team of engineers, hopes to revolutionize space exploration

"Life on Earth and the success of human civilization is dependent on sunlight and water, ” Peck said “The things that make us successful inhabitants of this planet can make us successful inhabitants of other planets In this case, our spacecraft uses those everyday resources to explore the cosmos "

The Cislunar Explorers team, named for its mission of exploring regions between the Earth and the Moon, has an extraordinary goal The team, comprised of Peck, Kyle Doyle grad and several other students, aims to send a spacecraft, nicknamed CubeSat, around the moon using nothing but an object “the size of a cereal box” If successful, this 10x20x30 spacecraft will be the first to demonstrate water based propulsion by storing the liquid during launch and converting it to rocket fuel once in orbit

“We’re trying to demonstrate that water is all you need for sustainable exploration of the solar system, ” said Peck, who previously served as NASA’s chief technologist “If we could depend on the mass that is already in space, such as water, to fuel the spacecraft, the cost would be significantly lower and we could do a lot more exploration "

The spacecraft uses a process known as electrolytic propulsion to move Electrolytic propulsion is the breakdown of a liquid, using an electric current, into simpler chemicals that can be used to enable thrust In this case, water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen to be burned as rocket fuel The team made important design decisions to ensure that such a process could even be used The spacecraft is made up of two L-shaped halves that separate after launch, causing each to spin This spin helps separate liquid water from the hydrogen and oxygen produced during electrolysis

Doyle uses the analogy of exploring New York City to explain how the CubeSat pinpoints its exact location

"I think for the optical navigation system the best

analogy would be landmarks We’re looking at the sun, the earth and the moon and we know at any given moment where the three bodies are We take pictures of them from our spacecraft which tells us where it is in reference to those bodies,” Doyle said “It's very much like navigating your way in New York City by looking at the Empire State Building or following landmarks anywhere else ”

Doyle points out that in order to maximize efficiency and minimize the use of resources, the team intertwined different aspects of the CubeSat A specific example is the use of water on board the spacecraft He said the team carries water on board to use as a propellant, but also uses it for other things, and needs heat to keep the

clever but not complicated ”

Several aspects were considered when choosing water as a rocket propellant, including its accessibility, safety and price

"Since water is such an effective propellant and is so common throughout the solar system, future spacecraft could land, gather water and go on to other planets " Doyle said

Peck added that safety must be a central concern of any such mission

"In my opinion, it’s the most obvious propellant to use Water is about as non-toxic as liquids get, ” Peck said ” Even what they call green propellant, which is a modern concept for low toxicity propellant is not that safe "

One of Doyle’s most memorable experiences while working on the CubeSat was when he and his team found an interesting way to solve a particularly challenging problem

“We needed some way to study the spacecraft while it was in microgravity, or free fall,” Doyle said “What we decided to do was take a pottery wheel and attach the spacecraft to it with an electromagnet We hung that upside down over a cushioned pit and dropped the spacecraft while it was spinning It was such a bizarre approach to what we thought was a simple problem ”

The team ’ s passion for advancing space science is evident While the Cislunar Explorers team is competing in NASA’s Cube Quest Challenge Tournament, which inspired the project and awards $5 5 million to the winning team, they readily share their findings with others

"Democratization of information is a key feature of this project All the designs, all the software, it’s all online It’s all free,” Peck said “So even though we ’ re in a competition, we are sharing our discoveries with the world If we ’ re successful in this, anyone who wants to build a water-powered spacecraft could do that "

liquid from freezing

“Another problem we face is that in space there’s no easy way to get rid of the waste heat from our electronics ” Doyle said “In order to solve these problems, we heat synced our electronics to the water propellant tank, so that the waste heat from the electronics could be drawn away This keeps the water warm and our electronics from overheating Our spacecraft is full of subtle tricks like that We’re really trying to make the design

As an experienced professor of aerospace engineering, Peck shared a few words of wisdom with budding engineers

“Care about what you work on, ” Peck said “You have this rare opportunity to really make an impact If you care about it, that’s a key ingredient for people to be successful in their careers In the long term, if you really care about what you ’ re doing, there are really no limits for an engineering degree ”

Halloween’s just around the corner, and most of you are enjoying your annual reminder that you actually enjoy the horror genre However, if you ’ re anything like me you know that horror is tr uly a genre for all seasons nothing really brings catharsis quite so viscerally as a good scare The ar tists and publishers of comics have been aware of the fascination horror provokes for as long as the medium has existed as an industr y horror and crime were once the two most popular genres in Nor th American comic books until the rampant censorship laws of the 1950s quashed the flourishing scene (more on that another day) However, outside the United States the nightmare never ended, with some spectacular spooky stories coming out of countries like Japan and France, and by the 1980s Nor th American horror comics had a comeback with titles like Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing and the early issues of Chester Brown’s Yummy Fur providing deeply personal takes on the body horror found in films like The Thing It seems now that the monster hiding under the bed is here to stay, so here are a fe w favorites of mine to read with lights on

THE DRIFTING CL ASSROOM

by Kazuo Umezu

Great comics have a way of lodging themselves in the reader’s mind, phrases and images returning to the reader like a timeless memor y I cannot think of a comic with moments I can recall more viscerally than The Drifting Classroom It’s a panel in the third volume, previe wed in the backmatter of the second, in which a child is being burned at the stake, shrieking in agony as the fires roar (he makes it out OK in the end) In vie wing this page, the reader experiences a power fully abject image The fascination the image provokes grows deeper when you realize you are in fact reading a children’s comic, serialized in a magazine for ten year old boys

Undeniably one of the greatest manga of the 1970s, The Drifting Classroom is the stor y of an elementar y school telepor ted into a devastated future wasteland, where nothing sur vives but maybe, just maybe, monsters The adults go insane and star t to die and to kill,

THE RED SNAKE

by Hideshi Hino

Hideshi Hino is one of those great ar tists you ’ re going to have to encounter at some point or another if

you like horror comics The car toonist, filmmaker and Budō swordsman has drawn upon his painful childhood memories of WWII Manchuria over decades of graphically lurid, at times searingly personal, horror stories for readers of all walks of life, reaching into the fears of schoolchildren and gorehounds alike One of his greatest (and most readily available) comics is The Red Snake

imager y that would give Freud

A scared little boy with ey size of saucer pans wanders about his family’s home, a place where evil lurks “within the walls ” We are treated to

our narrator ’ s family the ab sive, alcoholic father, the gran

chicken, the sister and her noc nal liaisons with the titular snake This gyrating freaksho the Japanese family reaches a m crescendo as our narrator is discover (and perhaps forget there is no escape Somethi lurks within the walls The intense terror of deformity w confines of tradition in The Re fear built upon people sudden ing in a way that defies sense fines of a str ucture that render tionality all-encompassing The work bears some resemblance to some of the films of David Lynch,

in the middle of the woods, her internal decay forcing the cute little ones out into the harshness of nature Our diminutive heroines must sur vive their surroundings and each other as internal harmony is shattered by external danger Fe w, if any, will sur vive this dangerous ordeal Rendered in lush, expressive watercolors by the husband and wife team Kerascoet, Beautiful Darkness is i f i tale which ser ves as an alledeconstr uction of identity, ople embodying aspects of d girl that break down and h other as she decomposes or perhaps matures?

BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS by

Fabien Vehlmann and Kerascoet

book out of the librar y, the water-

charms for a sleepy sunday afternoon As I skimmed the book’s appealing pages on my trek home, I happened to glance upon a scene in which a little ballerina girl the size of a thimble climbs into a bird’s nest, hoping to be fed as one o f t h

Unfor tunately for the girl, the mother bird does mistake her for one of her brood, plunging her worm-bearing beak down the girl’s throat and goring her insides in the process All of this was rendered in a per fectly deadpan stor ybook fashion, and at that point I kne w I was in for more than I’d bargained for Beautiful Darkness tells the stor y of a society of charming little people who live inside a charming little girl’s body, whose per fect little world comes crashing down when one day the child they inhabit dies suddenly

The title alone evokes something under the skin, something slimy looking to crawl out of the flesh and walk free The cover depicts a car toon dog with oily dark skin, perhaps a kind of tar or well varnished leather (both dogs and leather are a recurring obsession in Deforge’s work) Within, we are informed that the ar tist began drawing these stories after a failed suicide attempt in a sparse introduction From there we turn to hear tfelt stories of crawly weirdness, from the boy-and-his-magg

coming of age tale “Someone I Know” I compared Deforge’s body horror mode to Cronenberg before, and the comparison is apt - both are ver y understated even when presenting tr uly gonzo transformations but Deforge is a more emotionally tender stor yteller It’s in stories like “ The Sixties” where we see this best, an earnest account of a teenage girl’s desire to leave her hometown enhanced by a surreal conceit I won ’ t dare spoil here These are some creepy comics that also happen to be among the best the medium has to offer

BL ACK RIVER by Josh Simmons

If you are looking for the future of horror comics, I could not think of a better artist to name than Josh Simmons Bleak and weird, a Josh Simmons comic starts with a compelling idea then takes it to its logical conclusion, bringing the reader seeking the amusement of seeing f*cked up sh*t to to a place of true grotesquer y and discomfort that transcends the horrorhound impulse Black River may be Simmons’ greatest work to date, not as disgusting as some of his short stories but a powerful, sustained vision that refuses to be forgotten

In a post-apocalyptic future of seemingly ceaseless winter, a community of hard-bitten, mostly female survivors make their way across the hellish landscape in search of something, anything better These sur vivors are people they crack jokes and make love and work hard to sur vive which makes the sudden turn about midway through the book all the more shocking, when the gang is captured and must escape sadistic torture or die tr ying Simmons carries the difficult stor y through immaculate, handmade cartooning and earthy dialog, adding humanity to a stor y where humanity is dying away In the midst of a glut of apocalypse-flavored power fantasies that soothe the reader with visions of sur vival and nuclear families (*cough*thewalkingdead*cough), Black River is a book that shows you the end of the world and makes sure that you do not feel fine, one of the essential scar y stories of the decade so far

Cornell Turns Attention to Post After Second Consecutive Loss

Effective special teams play insuffcient to overcome potent Army offense and offensive, defensive woes

in the second quarter, as it recovered two Army fumbles, and subsequently scored its first touchdown against the Knights since 2014

Army led Cornell, 29-10, through the first two quarters

Needing a spark because its offense was having trouble moving the ball, Cornell elected to begin the second half with an onside kick, which was recovered by the Red on its own 46-yard line

Despite the effective special teams play, Ostrander and the offense were stuffed by the efficient Army defense, handing the ball right back to the home team, which led to yet another Army touchdown and extended the team ’ s lead to 36-10

With just under a minute left in the third quarter, Army sophomore backup quarterback Brady Miller found the end zone with a 15-yard touchdown rush

In a relatively uneventful fourth quarter, freshman linebacker Donald Stimpson was able to force a safety with 3:55 remaining in the game, which provided a glimmer of hope for the Red

However, after 60 minutes of competition, the Knights soundly defeated the Red, 43-12, for the team ’ s sixth consecutive victory over Cornell

Although the game was relatively one-sided, some bright spots for the Red heading for ward included Ostrander’s performance at quarterback, junior Ryman Seeley’s performance at wide receiver, and junior Evan Ball’s performance at running back Ostrander ended the night with 144 passing yards, Seeley caught six passes for 65 yards and Ball led the team with 32 yards on the ground against an Army defense that only allowed an average of 17 rushing yards through its first three games

“It was another tough loss, but Army is a really solid team, and we knew that going to their place to play would be a big challenge for us, ” Seeley said “They were able to move the ball through the air, and it helped them get a big

Before the game, Archer emphasized that putting pressure on the Crimson quar terback would be critical to the team ’ s success While the team was relatively successful at getting past Har vard’s vaunted offensive line, Viviano showed he can be just as dangerous with his legs He r ushed for 57 yards, including several critical first downs

“[ The defense] put pressure on him and it forces him to tr y to make p l a y s w i t h h i s l e g s , ” A rc h e r s a i d

“ Which is, from defensive perspective, a real threat when the quar terback can r un I think the Har vard quar terback was able to extend some plays when we had pretty good coverage ”

Thanks to strong r ushing from Viviano, Har vard tacked on another score just as the first quar ter ended, giving the Crimson a 14-7 lead

After being held scoreless in the second quar ter, Har vard opened the third with a touchdown, but Cornell blocked the point after kick to keep the Crimson within 13 The Red seemed to bounce back immediately from the score, marching down the field to Har vard’s 21-yard line, but Banks was intercepted again this time in the endzone

Archer acknowledged that there were cer tainly some positives in the loss

“[I’m] ver y disappointed with the outcome of the game but I still see a tremendous amount of progress in our program and that’s what we ’ re here to do,” Archer said “I see this as a great oppor tunity for growth for our 2016 football team ”

This week brings a ne w challenge for Cornell football: practicing after coming off of a loss Archer mentioned that the team ’ s early winning streak had perhaps made the men of the program overlook ways in which they could improve

“Ultimately, the lead they built on us early was too much for us to overcome, but I felt that we gave Army a good fight ”

This marks the second consecutive loss for the Red, who was stunned last week on the road by Chestnut Hill 29-24

“Losing twice in a row is never fun, but we have a bye week ahead of us to prepare for Post, so I expect to win,”

Seeley said

Cornell will look to get back in the win column after a bye week, when they host Post on Oct 21 at Schoellkopf Field Last season, the Red defeated the Eagles 44-6

“In terms of the second half of the season, it’s like a brand new year for us, ” said senior running back Kevin Nathanson “We have a week off to get everybody healthy and to get prepared for Post ”

Trend Shows Manager Job Loss

The ball sailed through the air in the Swansea City penalty area, where the team ’ s right full-back, Angel Rangel, anticipated its descent However, he misjudged the ball’s flight, allowing Liverpool’s Rober to Firmino to beat him to the ball Rangel shoved the Brazilian in the back and Firmino fell to the ground The referee pointed to the penalty spot, where James Milner would score Liverpool’s late winning goal in a 2-1 decision Several days later, Swansea City’s manager Francesco Guidolin was fired and replaced by the American Bob B

Swansea needed to beat Liverpool to save Guidolin’s job The Italian Guidolin was just seven games into his first full season on the job and is the first Premier League manager to be fired this campaign

you pick the first play off,” Archer said Cornell’s first points of the day came off a 41-yard pass from Banks to senior wide receiver Ben Rogers The q u a r t e r b a c k l o o k e d o f f t h e d e f e n s e with a deceptive pump fake, before airing it out to Rogers

Ba n k s t h re w f o r 2 5 7 y a rd s b u t struggled with efficiency For the second straight game, t h e s o p h o m o r e tossed three interceptions

A r c h e r g a v e credit to Har vard’s secondar y in figuri n g o u t h o w t o defend against Banks’ aerial attack The Crimson’s defense limited the sophomore to a 48 7 completion percentage, the first time all year he has been below 50 percent Banks’ counterpart Joe V i v i a n o ,

In recent seasons, Premier League chairmen have had decreasing patience with their managers A r un of five games without a win or 10 games with only a fe w wins could lead to managers “getting the sack,” as the Brits call it The unfor tunate Guidolin was the first to go, but there will undoubtedly be more sackings as the season goes on Let’s assess the managers likely to be fired soon, all the way through those who have the job as long as they want it

Be Watching LinkedIn, Just in Case st Ham’s Slaven Bilic is the most likely fired next There are r umors of boardm discontent with his per formance this n, after an outstanding campaign last around In his defense, his team has n b e s i e g e d by i n j u r i e s St o k e C i t y ’ s rk Hughes really str uggled to get his m going this season, and the Potters e the worst goal difference in the 20m Premier League Sunderland’s David Moyes is also in this section, because his team is in last place with only two points from seven games Given Moyes’s pedigree and the fact he was j u s t h i re d t h i s s u m m e r, l o g i c a l l y results will improve as he settles in, so it would be surprising to see him fired in the next fe w weeks
