be especially agreeable to Yale and
Princeton. but Harvard evidently does
not intend to be thus exclusive.
Cornell already has game scheduled
with Chicago University. and after meet
ing the Maroons the Ithacans must make
trips to Boston and Philadelphia to play
Harvard and Pennsylvania. 1t Is fortu-
nate for Cornell that her team will have
a long rest between Harvard and Penn
sylvania. But even with this rest the
Ithacans will be working under disad-
vantage They will be obliged to have
their team ready for hard battles with
Chicago and Harvard at mid season. and
will then have to keep in condition for
Pennsylvania THANKSGIVING day. This Is
by far the most pretentious schedule that
Cornell ever arranged
The Cornell-Harvard game has a direct
bearing on two other institutions. One
of these is Princeton and the other Will
be either Dartmouth or Brown. Not only
does the CornellHarvard game mean that
there will be no meeting between Har-
ward and Princeton but 1t likewise means
that Princeton and Cornell will not meet.
The Tigers are now in somewhat sorry
fix for big games. AS it is, they have
only Yale and possibly Dartmouth. 1t
will be remembered that Cornell broke
with Princeton because of the Tigers
insistence that Cornell should play in
New York The Ithacans refused to do
this, believing that the ethics of college
sport demanded that college games should
be played on college grounds Conse-
quently. Princeton experimental with
games with the Indians and Dartmouth
In New York in alternate years.
Neither game was the success planned
Princeton broke with the Indians after
the first year, and now it Is reported that
the Tiger faculty will not permit any
more games on non-collese grounds
it will have to be at Princeton
which will not be very paying PROPOSE
tion. It does seem that Princeton's ulti-
matIm to Cornell two years ago has
acte d as a boomerang upon Princeton:
Cornell will profit financially fully third
more than she ever did during her alli-
ance with Princeton.
In order to make room for Cornell on
her schedule Harvard must drop either
Brown or Dartmouth for the Indians
have already been scheduled for October
%. AS these two opponents give Har-
ward about the same amount OF trouble,
it Is likely that other things will decide
which Is to be dropped. Dartmouth has
the stronger claim. through her large
Boston alumni body. and II an issue is
made between the two Dartmouth looks
like the winner.
Publicity for Athletic Funds.
The announcement Of Princeton's ath-
letic finances for the last fiscal year has
moved the Daily Princetonian to demand
of the association fuller report of money
matters. Inasmuch as Princeton has
been making public her athletic finances
for only a short time, 1t is rather unex-
pected that criticism should be directed
at what was a radical departure for the
Until the last year or two
Pennsy lvania, Harvard and Yale were
the only big universities which made pub
lie detailed statement of all the money
that was received and expended for ath-
letics. Evidently public sentiment. which
has demanded and brought about more
publicity on the part Of public service
corporations, is doing the same for college
athletics. Now that college athletic
morals are being scanned so closely no
university can afford the breath of sus-
picion on account of athletic matters.
