under the authority of Pennsylvania or

given about $40 worth Of tickets for the

This system has proven very successful
at Pennsylvania, where more than 20OO
undergraduates and upwards of thousand
graduates are members of the associa ton.
This not only brings in large income. but
as the holders of coupon books are seated
together 1t Is great Incentive to con-
certed cheering. which is now considered
Indispensable to the success of athletic
teams.
The new plan Is taking we'll with the
Yale undergraduates, who have awaited
themselves of the new idea in large num-
bers. 1t is understood that Cornell will
put the same plan in operation at Ithaca
as the most suitable method of putting
their athletic teams on a paying basis.
Progress Of the "Big Five
The progress of the teams of the big
Five has been normal during the last
week. Pennsylvania is the only member
of this quintet which has met really
strong opponent. The struggle which Penn
had with Swarthmore is now a matter of
history But the defeat of the Quakers does
not augur any dangerous weakness on their
part There was a host of critics from the
other big colleges on hand to see how the
new rules operated in a big game, and the
consensus of opinion was that Pennsyl-
vania will have a wonderful team as soon
as a quarter back Is found or developed
who can get the Quaker team to play up
to it's capa bnties. Either Lee or Luby. the
latter the former quarterback of Mer-
cersburg and Exeter, will probably get the
place.
The Harvard eleven has been moving
along at a slow pace, and has not yet
played any team strong enough to bring
out its strength or weakness. several
times the Crimson has been hard pushed
and the big men in the line failed to make
IL. of 10 ala a ri
first big game will be against West Point
and this contest will show just what the
Crimson may be expected to do.
Princeton was moving along at salts
and jefferson and Annapolis games were
played. Then. although the Tigers were
several touchdowns stronger than their
opponets. measured by the old rules, they
were lucky to win out in each case by
single touchdown. Princeton still continues
to play the open game, and seems to have
got more out of the forward pass than
any of the other big teams. Princeton's
prospects were much frightened during the
last week by the reappearance of Rulon-
Miller, the fullback of the championship
1868 eleven Rulon-M Miller is a ten-second
sprinter, and now that he has regained
his health, the loss of which caused him
to leave college a year ago. he ought to
make a star under the new rules.
ne strenth of the Cornell team Is as
much unknown as that of Harvard SO
far Cornell has not played any teams that
the other big colleges have met. and no
comparisons can be made Coach Warner
has been developing the end-running game
and until the present week seemed to think
much of the forward pass. But now he
has virtually abandoned this play unless
better results can be secured from 1t. Cor
nell's first test will come next Saturday,
when Princeton is met in New York city.
This will be the only big game New York
will see this year. and a great reception
is being planned for the Tigers and
IthacanS.
