CoRNELL's DECISIVE GAME.
FEELING AT ITHACA THAT HER STANDING
FOR THE SEASON DEPENDS ON DE-
FEATING PENNSYLVANIA.


Ithaca, N Y. Nov % CspeciaDIt is felt here that
Cornes rank in the football world this year depends
the showing her eleven makes in tomorrow 5
contest with Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. Until
a few days ago the prevailing opinion that
Cornell would have easy victory. but with two
Of the best OF the backheld doubtful players
on account Of injuries, the Red and White is not
confident A large delegation, nevertheless left
here last night to see the game. What makes the
game unusually interesting and what IS sending e
large number OF supporters to Phila6 ephia is the
fact that the two ''Pops'-Warner and Lueder-
will represent Cornell tomorrow for the last time
in a football game These two men have fought
eide by side at left tackle and guard. respectively
for four wears Both men came 10 the university
in the fall Of 90 with something OF football repu-
tation gained by having two brothers VINO were
old varsity players. Both men taken to the
training table at the beginning of the football
season and won places on the regular line and have
held their positions ever since. Warner has the
proud record Of never having 10 leave a game on
account Of injuries, and the only time he has not
PLAYED during the four years of his course was
when he was out Of town to rival team play
Taken Individually. this years eleven is probably
IS good as Cornell has ever turned out The line
Is unquestionably the fastest and strongest which
has represented the university since the team OF
1875 Davtt- the centre rush, the only man who
did not hold over his place from last year and
although he is not good his predecessor,
Kent he is = fair player. This weakness at centre
IS more than made up by the Improvement which
has taken place in the other four members of the
rush line. Warner and Hunt. the guards are
pair who have acquitted themselves creditaby in
every contest this fall and who have won q name
for themselves In the Princeton game Warner
barred De Witt successfully and frequently made
holes at the big Princeton's kicker's place.
Hunt had hard adversary In Captain Trout OF
Lafayette, but he handled his opponent in good
shape and il not until he left the game that
the Eastern could figure much in the play
Lueder. 81 left tackle. IS a veteran and can be
counted 10 do well both offence and defence
There has been some shifting ~ the other tackle
but Wand seems TO have won the place He is
tall player, who sometimes PLAYS high in the line
but his work on defence is good Larkin and
Iydeman will look after the ends. The first named
player is q freshman, but getting down the field
