was mado that Harvard would de-
feat Cornell by at least twenty-one
points in today's game at Cambridge,
and another bet of 800 to $40 was
placed that the Crimson would be
the winner. So far few bets have
been made on the outcome of the
Harvard Princeton game a week
from today, but Fred Schunm,
prominent New York sportsman, is
quoting 10 to on Harvard as IA
vorite over Princeton. The following
offers also have been made: 500 to $40
that Harvard beats Princeton. $50 to
500 that Yale beats Harvard. S45 to
ID that Dartmouth defeats Amherst,
10 to $50 that University of Penn
sylvania beats Penn State and S45 to
$50 that Princeton beats Holy Cross.
