game one of the Harvard players had to be

team is very much unknown quantity,
but gave such an exhibition of strength
against Western University of Pennsylva-
ma that the lthacans are being regarded
with considerable fear. This will be Cor
rells first try-out and will he watched with
the greatest interest.
In the middle west the championship sea-
son is a little farther advanced. The Chi
cago-Wisconsin game resulted in a victory
of 40 in favor of Chicago, a result which
put Wisconsin out of the running.

All the big teams of the east had their
first real tests week ago and Princeton
emerged with the greatest credit The IL
gers trounced the powerful Lafayette team
by the score of - to A. There was only
about fifteen minutes of this game in which
Princeton had any trouble with the Easton
lads, and this was during the time when
the visitors rushed the ball into Prince
tons territory, enabling Sinister Lafayette's
star quarterback, to kick a goal from the
field.
The work of the Harvard team was a Sc
we're disappointment to the Crimson sup
porIeTS, Tor Harvard scored only six points
against West Point and got these a
tumble punt. The Harvard eleven was ff-
teen pounds heaveier than West Point to
the man. yet could not carry the ball across
the armys goal line by straight football.
On the other hand, the soldiers gained every
bit as much ground as Harvard.
Pennsylvania won from Brown by the
narrow margin OF two points, the final
score being Sc. That the QuakeEs did not
score three more touchdowns was due en-
trely to their fumb,ing, which was atroc-
ious. Three times they had the ball inside
Browns Vineyard line, but lost il every
time through POOR handling. Still the Red
and Blue exhibited powerful attack,
which is sure to stand it in good stead in
the championship games to follow.
Cornell rolled up score of 80 to
against Western University OF Pennsylva-
mia, but this may mean much or little, as
the Pittsburg team had not played any
strong eleven before. In the first half the
Ithacans were able to score Just one touch
down and were repeatedly held for downs.
There is doubt, however, that Cornell
has struck its gait and will be a powerful
combination before the season is over. AL
though Cornell has games with Princeton
and Columbia the Ithacans have just one
object in view. That is the defeat of Penn
sylvania on Thanksgiving day. In all the
dozen years that Cornell has been journey
ing down to Franklin Field her team has
been victorious over Penn just once. That
was in 1891, when Penn had her poorest
team and Cornell her strongest.
Another incentive which is urging Cornell
on is the fact that Pennsylvania has been
wishing to substitute some other team than
Cornell for the Thanksgiving day attrae-
ton in Philadelphia. 1t is q well-known
fact that Penn and Cornell have not been
good friends within the last few years.
There has been no ope breack, but Pennsyl-
vania men do not relish the incessant at
lacks which Cornell had been making in one
Wdy anu dIiotNeF On the req ana due. Penn
has threatened to break off relations for
several years, and If a game should be ar
ranged with Princeton it would be done in
an instant
Cornell knows that the revenue from the
Pennsylvania game is too much to be spurn-
ed, and wants to remain on PENIS sched-
ule. The IthacaHS seem to think that this
year is the crisis. If they beat Penn this
fall the Quakers cannot cast Cornell aside
The situation is very much like that he
tween Penn and Harvard last fall. 1t was
declared then that Harvard would drop
Penn in case the crimson was victorious
AS it turned out Penn Won the game and
the crimson was obliged to schedule an
other game TO win back her prestige
Confusion worse COMPOUNDED" reigns at
Pennsylvania 1t is universally admitted
that no college in the country has expert
enced the hard luck that has befalIen the
Quakers. Not week has passed since the
preliminary season began without record
ing one more losses from the varsity
squad. -Four men have been lost through
