Even Cornell's second defeat of the

team is down and out for the season
are likely to have rude awakening

Cornell Hopes to Beat Pennsylvania.
AS matter of fact Cornell measures
| the success or failure of her foot ball
season by the result Of the annual game
with Pennsylvania. If that game were

different tale November 2S. The big
scores which Pennsylvania has been
| running up and the obstacles which
Cornell has encountered at every turn
are likely TO make Pennsylvania over
confident. at any rate Cornell will
have q team equally as heavy that
which represents Pennsylvania. and it

could not learn enough to improve their
! strength fully 30 per cent before their
| iinal game of the year with the QuakerS.
One of the big surprises of the pre-
| l1minary season was the overwhelming
defeat administered to Lafayette last
Saturday by Swarthmore College. This
is SWarthmorcS second year in foot
ball since the ban was lifted from the
great college sport two years ago

Special attention is being devoted to the

against Case is proof that they will have
