REYNOLDS IS ELIGIBLE

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. u.-PhIadel-
phia today is football mad.
Everywhere and everything is football.
Harvard's team arrived early yesterday
afternoon and went Immediately to the
Aldine, which Will be their headquarters
while here. Their coming seemed to put
new life into the football enthusiasts.
At the Stock Exchange this morning
money was offered al odds of . to 1 that
Harvard would win, but instantly the
news spread that the Crimson players
were here and in good condition, money
jumped to the extreme odds OF 3 TO 1
that the Crimson would be victorious.
With this were others of ? 10 1 that
Pennsylvania would not score, and to-
DAY Harvard money is going begging.
The Pennsylvania eleven remained in
Ninslow Junction. y. J., last night,
where they have been since Wednesday,
and Will not come into the city until
noon The men took light signal drill
yesterday, and all are said TO be in the
best possible condition and anxious for
the game.
Reynolds to Play.
Marshall Reynolds. one of the best
halfbacks and punters that ever wore
the Red and Blue, viii be in the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania lineup today.
This cheering news was brought 10 the
Penn student body by former Halfback
MOrice at the mass meeting in the dor
mitory triangle last night. Morice
came from Winslow Junction TO tell the
undergraduates OF the development.
1t has not been definitely settled just
how Penn Will line 10. Reynolds will
be placed at left halfback. which dis
places Sheble. He viii also do the kick
ing. The chances are good that Shebl>
will De shifted TO right halfback and
that Greene viii be brought to one of
the end positions
Penn is weak at the ends. and the
coaches believe that with such q fast
man and sure tackle- as Greene on the
outside the problem would be partly
solved If tins sweeping change - not
made, Shebie Will probably go to the
side lines.
May Be Last Game.
The lifting of the ban on Reynolds in
a way strengthens the story that the
Quakcrs are to break relations with
Harvard after todays game. Il has
been pointed out that the Crimson vii.
Protest Reynolds and demand a hear

spite OF Harvard's protests, Reynolds
Will be played.
Harvard is looking for a hard game
We realize that If the Penn me. &c
not tumble We have a stin proposition
ahead Of US to stop their offense."
Harvard Must Work.
This statement was made by W. T.
Reid. IT., the coach OF the Harvard
eleven. al the Aldine this morning. Il
was indicative OF the feeling OF the
whole Harvard squad. They all expect
TO win, for they want 10 erase the re-
verso OF last year. but at the same time
the Quakers are respected. There is not
a man that viii play for Harvard today
who Is IN the least overcOnddent
The weather prospects Of fair and
cold, II anything. favor Penn. The Red
and Blue backfield is fast, and on a
dry, hard field should gain around Har-
wards rather mediocre ends. The dry
field VIII also aid the lighter Pennsyi-
vania linemen 20 sop the Harvard
tackle tandem formation. which is tn,
CrimsOn's strongest play. Should IN,
Penn team be able 10 stop Brill. Har
wards 200-pound colored tackle, IN thi.
play. the Cambridge men viii find q
dlfncult 10 score. Conservative Penn
sylvania estimates. however, give tn,
Red and Blue team only a hgh,inl
chance for victory
