Penn Defeat a Surprise.

In spite of the fact that SWarthmore
richly earned its victory over the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania last Saturday the
defeat was a great surprise to the inter-
collegiate world. The Quakers had been
running up such big scores that the COL
Iege world got the idea that this Red and
Blue eleven was one of championship
proportions. Now the Quakers have been
humbled and are the second team of
the big six to lose a preliminary game
There were good and sufficient reasons
for Swarthmore's victory, the principal
one being that unknown to the rest of the
college world, Swarthmore has developed
a wonderful eleven. There is other proof
that Swarthmore is very powerful. One
week before SwarthtnOre had swamped
Lafayette. go. Saturday Lafayette held
Yale to a 1910 score, which would put
SWarthmOre on at least an equal footing
with Yale at the present time. In spite
of losing the game Pennsylvania played
well and. but for a costly tumble and
little poor generalship, would have won
the game. After SWarthmOre had scored
it's winning touchdown by an eighty-yard
march straight down the field, Pennsyl-
vania had three opportunities to score in
a single period. Once the ball was taken
to the 2-yard line on the third down, but
lost on downs on the next play. Again

on the goal line.

The Cornell team has improved Won

by DR.. Sharpe. but in their game against
New York University they gave the first
display Of the fighting spirit seen this
year. The difficulty with the team seems
to be the sluggishness of the line. and at
present the coaches are devOting all their

suggestions.

1t is, of course. too early in the season
to pass final judgment on the tendency
of the new game to produce big scores,
should be proportionately larger than
they are even now. OF the big Six,
four teams have bettered their 1911 fig
ures. They are Princeton, Pennsylvania,
Harvard and Dartmouth. Yale and Cor
nell have fallen a little short of last
years scores, but for good reasons. The
Ellis this year have had a harder pre-
liminary schedule than in 1911 the Lafey-
cite team last week being a particularly
hard team to vanquish. Cornell has fall
en- far short of the 1911 totals, but in
view of COrnell's great weakness and the
efforts of Dr. Sharpe to build up an en-
tirely new system this is not to be Won
dered at
peculiar phase Of this years scores
is the fact that the smaller colleges
have likewise made more points against
their big rivals than a year ago. This
may be accounted for in part by the re-
moval of the restrictions against the for
ward pass. With an unlimited throw and
touchdown made legal with a forward
pass over the goal line the little colleges
have done some scoring on their own
part. though the help they have received
has not been enough to counteract the
added scoring possibilities furnished the
big teams by the fourth down.
OF the colleges considered in the fore
going table there has been but one 90

Although the past week clased with

warm weather of the preceding
Ieight or nine days permitted great

weather conditions have not yet be-
come settled and the crop is un
dOubtedIy backward as far as pre-
Iparations of the soil and planting
are concerned, some progress ha,
undoubtedly been made of late, and
with a spell of good weather, work
|could be so rushed that the earlier
setbacks could no doubt be over
lcome.
The reports from Texas are nearly
| all of favorable character. AL
though that state has participated
| in the recent rains, crop prepara-
tions are reported to be we'll advanc-
ed and in southern Texas the crop
has not only been largely planted,
| but in some districts the plants are
already up and making good pro-
gress. The Atlantic coast states, in
cluding Georgia. is probably the
most backward portion of the whole
belt. and good weather from now on
will be needed 10 enable the farmers
in that district TO catch up with
their work.
| Corn and other grain crops have
also been delayed by the late spring
and in some sections it is probable
that the acreage in those crops will
lhave to be curtailed and transferred
| to cotton. Some progress has been
made in the rice section of Louis
lana and Texas in getting the crops
started. AS the last crop has been
pretty we'll exhausted there is ev-
