QuakerS on Past Performances Deserve Standing

Eleyens, Though They Do Not Meet.
BY @. A. FALZER.

H doesn't the University of Pennsylvania meet
AN Princeton Yale or Harvard in football? is a
question often asked by the uninitiated, and
that also leads to the query as to what chance the Quak-

as many points as the other big elevens. She contributes
a fair share of stars to the All-American team most
every year. Yet the Red and Blue is seldom considered
when 1t comes to figuring out where the champion
ship belongs.
