BIG GAME To Be
PLAYED IN THE MUD
Rain Has Made Field Sloppy
for Pennsy and
Cornell.
oc24-Su. tu&th-15t-D

PHILADELPHIA. November 25.-Cor-
nell and the University of Pennsylvania
foot ball elevens will meet on Franklin
Field this afternoon in their annual con-
test under conditions. at least under foot,
which will seriously handicap both teams.
The heavy rain for the past forty-eight
hours has made the big field a veritable
quagmire, the mud in places being ankle
deep This, the adherents of the Red and
Blue claim, will favor the local eleven,
as its team, man for man, averages near
ly five pounds heavier than the Ithaca
boys.
Both Cornell and Pennsylvania this sea-
son have been disappointments, each hav-
ing been defeated at least once. Despite
the fact that no possible championship
could hinge on the result, as was the case
last year, there was every indication that
there would be a great thrOng present.
Long before the hour set for the referee
to blow his whistle the crowds began to
gather, and by O'Clock there was scarce
ly vacant seat in the big amphitheater.
Pennsylvania eleven and substitutes
came to the city shortly before noon
from Winslow Junction, N. j.. where they
had been quartered for three days, while
the Cornell squad came in from Wayne.
Pa, suburb, where it had spent
Wednesday and Wednesday night. While
neither team could be said to be in first
class condition, yet both were prepared
to do their utmost to close an otherwise
disastrous season with a brilliant vic
tory The probable lineup follows:

The fall was light between Sterling and

In Wichita last night there was a

more. The ground is soaked, and the
