Football News

Philadelphia. Nov. 26.-There are
just two games of Importance yet to
be played, and one of them will have
much to do with the determination
of the premier honors of the year.
The unbeaten teams of Cornell and
Pennsylvania clash on Franklin
Field. Philadelphia. and the same
field will contain the Army and
Navy elevens two days later. From
the standpoint of real football the
Pennsylvania Cornell affair will be
the more important. but no game of
the year will attract so much OF So
ciety and the diplomatic and admin
istrative life of the country as TIN
ArmylNavy game. In this respect
the latter game IS in class by II
self.
There Is no doubt that the Penn
syivania-C Cornell game will produce
some of the very best football OF the
entire season. The Pennsylvania
eleven, by its great score against
Michigan and it's uniformly good
record throughouts the entire season.
has stamped itself as one of the best
that ever wore the red and blue.
The Quaker supporters even go so
far as to say that victory over Cor
nell will make them the champions
OF the east. which may or may not
be true. according to the way one
reads comparative scores.
