Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1914-11-14

The big football games on the docket
for today somewhat overshadow the
usual list of sporting events over the
whole country In the East the Prince
ton-Yale. Penn-Dartmouth and Har-
vard-Brown games hold the centre,
while the Cornell-Michigan fray in the
West is the most talked-of feature of the
football day AS usual there will be an
almost unending list of athletic events in
Philadelphia today, including football.
basketball, boxing. cross-country run
ming, racing, golf. soccer, hockey, shoots.
dog shows and several events of minor
Importance.
Dartnouth's a4-2l victory over the Penn
team last season has greatly increased
the interest in this afternoons contest
between these same teams on FRANKLIN
Field The Big Green eleven from Han
over is a decided favorite in the betting,
both because of her splendid showing In
all the games this season, except the
Princeton battle. and because Penn has
proved TO be woefully weak in most de-
partments OF play.
Yale and Princeton will go into the
game today in the Tigers lair on almost
equal terms so far as the dope Is con-
cerned. There Is great deal OF betting
en- the result OF the contest, because
hackers of the Blue and those of the
Orange and Black are equally con-
fadent OF victory. Princeton's weak at
tack in all the games played to date in
dieates that IL the Tiger Is returned a
winner It will be either through extreme
GOOD fortune or because Yale Is much
weaker than Is generally supposed.
The international fracas between Cor
neii and Michigan is apt to be an eN-
ceedfngIy interesting one from every
ntandpoInt. Cornell has been coming for
ward by leaps and bounds. extensively
ana defensiveIy Michigan likewise has
aon. hrilliant work since her defeat at
the hands OF Syracuse. The Wolverines
showing against Harvard and their over
,,nvverInR defeat OF Penn last week nave
made them the favorites in today's game.
