/ years ago of playing one of her big
football games at home, the sched-
ules of Penn, Michigan and Cornell
have been greatly jumbled up. Cor
nell has taken the stand that she will
waive aside the financial question
and will not play Penn every year at
Franklin Field. The Thanksgiving
Day game has always served to re-
coup Cornell treasury, but Cornell
dislikes the idea of always meeting
Penn on the Pennsylvania field This
game has also been a money maker
| for Penn, and hence some complica-
tions arise.
The arrangement between Penn
and Michigan was that Michigan
should again play in this city this
year in view of former visit of
PENIS to Ann Arbor. This caused
another obstacle to be overcome.
Last year Cornell objected to playing
here on Thanksgiving Day. but con-
sented to do so, as Michigan agreed
to play at ithaca.
Football or Thorpe, which Let us
consult together! No, the game is
over and the jig is up.
! What is the game of football in
which the schedules have to be so
tempered to the players, lest when it
comes to the final game there be not
one left Of the first, second and third
elevens?
James Thorpe, the dethroned worlds
| champion athlete, who was dragged
into the limelight last week by the
exposure of his tainted record in
athletics" because he dabbled in pro-
fessional baseball for one season, de-
MES that he is the property of the
Oklahoma City or the Beaumont
clubs.
The claim of the Fayetteville Club
is invalidated because Thorpe was not
placed on the reserve list when the
club disbanded, according to Secre-
tary John II. Farrell, of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues Farrell will investigate the
other claim.
James Thorpe is a victim of the
chain and ball still used in the South.
The ball is labeled Fayetteville.
One or two first-rate country and
golf clubs in Massachusetts have yet
to join the United States Golf Asso-
citation and the Massachusetts Golf
. Association. That missionary work
; to this end is necessary can be gath

. Of a country club not many miles
; from this city. He said his club had
. no players that wished to enter COM

: the associations, as they were not

State organizations have manifold

his club is concerned. Moreover, If
