The game between Pennsylvania and
the Indians Is always OF much inter.
est, and 1t will be especially SO this
year. because the odds seem turned, in
that the chances favor Penn. instead OF
Warmers aggregation, as has been the
case in recent years.
Inc Indians have not Thorpe, one of
the greatest ground gamers the game
mas ever Known, and they must go
against what is apparently the strong
1905. The Quakers have been doing
such good work as would cause them
70 be placed among the really big
eleVens., something they have not ac-
conplished In the last two seasons.
The advent of George Brooke appears
to have turned the tide in favor Of
Pennsylvania, and the Quakers figure
they are going to have the margin on
the Indians at the start OF the game,
something they have not been conceded
In quite while. Notwithstanding their
victory in 1912. 1t is always byword
with the Indians that Pennsylvania
must be beaten. The Aborigines work
harder and display greater determine
ton In their game with PENNSYLVANIA
than against any other eleven. Over

indiana. as it did last fall, when, al
though outplaying the Quakers. they

Now, Penn seems to have the advan-

conjectured, but he will have something
up his sleeve which only his players will
know. Neither team will win easily, and
a contest as that in 1905, when the name
Of Hollenback was made immortal among
the followers of Pennsylvania foot ball.
The Georgetown eleven will settle down
for the next two days to perfect as nearly
as possible the plays it will use against
the North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical College Thursday in Raleigh.
The Blue aud Gray Is not overconfident
OF the resuit. it being realized that the
North Carolinans are muca stronger
than when they were met q year ago.
The form shown by the Raleiga clan
has been much Amer than in any recent
season. and the hilltoppers will have
to travel at much faster gait In or
der to win than they have shown in
played. The Blue and Gray tutors re-
alize their task this week is not an
easy one, by any MEANS and they are
not going to leave many stones un-
turned In order to have the eleven In
it's best condition.
The game between a. and M. and
Georgetown Is going TO be worth while.
Both elevens are strong, undoubtedly.
