GOLF TOURNAMENT
THANKSGIVING DAY
AT LAKEWOOD
Three Days of Match Play
Will Follow Qualifying
Rounds May Be Last of
Season.

On one other occasion It was announced
brought to a close by the Country Club
OF Lakewoods annual fall tournament.
The tournament was held and incidentally
won by J. r. Maxwell. Jr., of the Merton
Cricket Club. Another tournament will be
held at Lakewood, beginning with the
usual qualifying round on Thanksgiving
Day followed by match play rounds in
three slxteens on Friday and Saturday.
with the usual prizes for winners and
runners-up OF each sixteen and winners
of the defeated eights, as we'll as the
medal play for low score in the quail
flying round. It Is quite possible that this
tournament will be the last of the season
in the North, but having once announced
a closed season, and not knowing but
what another enterprisng organization
may schedule q tournament beginning
with Christmas or New Years Day, it
would be well to withhold any definite
statement on the subject.
Philadelphia, as in the past, will be
represented, and, of course. the usual
number from the Metropolitan district
will be on hand. AS mentioned before, the
CoHlestaIltS VIII De asked TO pay the uSual
green fee of 81 a day, and the money
thus secured Will pay for the prizes.
Quite furry was caused in the golfng
world when word was received from Abb
secon that invitations had been sent out
by the Sea View Golf Club for a tourna-
ment TO be held around the last of the
present month. Details. to a great ex-
tent, we're lacking, but already Francis
Ouimet, Jerome Travers. w. ]. Travis,
Fred HerreshoT and others had signihed
their intention of entering. A letter from
S. Boyd Carrigan, general manager of
the Sea View Club, states that the story
was made out OF the whole cloth and, as
no tournament was even thought of, the
report was probably the work of an over
zealous shore correspondent.

The blue ribbon events of the interscho-
lastic athletic season are at hand. The
Northeast Central High School football
game scheduled tomorrow and the East
ern championship cross-country run
Thanksgiving morning will attract more
general interest than any previous event
on the local schoolboy calendar
The Northeast High Central High game
will be the biggest scholastic game of the
season. by virtue of the fact that It will
decide the winner of the Ellis Gimbel
trophy, and because both teams are
strong and evenly matched.
The battle will take place on Houston
Field at 10Th street and Lehigh avenue,
and large attendance is expected. Both
teams are in fine fettle for the fray.
Northeast authorities have reinstated
Wilson, and he will be eligible to play, In
spite of rumors to the contrary.
The Eastern championship cross-coun-
try, or senior championship race as II Is
commonly called, will likewise attract a
big crowd Thanksgiving morning. Sew
eral out-of-town schools. including Rich
mond Hill High, Newark Central High
and probably Mercersburg. will compete,
as well as the local high schools
When the football team representing
Northeast High School clashes with Cen
tral Highs eleven in the big scholastic
gridiron classic en- Houston Field tomor-
row afternoon, mike" Wilson, the Red
and Black star end, will be at his position
on the line.
After being expelled from school last
week on charge of breach of discipline,
Wilson was relnstated yesterday by the
schools faculty, following a conference.
He was greatly pleased when Captain
Paul Webb informed him of the result
OF the meeting which made mike" eligi-
BILE to play against Central.
Throughout the football season Wilson
has proven a valuable cog in the smooth
playing Northeast machine His receiving
of the forward pass, which has been exc
cuted to a nicely by Webb. has featured
in almost every Northeast contest.
Wilson donned his moleslSns yesterday
afternoon, after having a two-day vaca-
tion, and ran through a signal drill with
his teammates on Northeast Field. Cap
tain Webb used UP most of the time in
the forward pass. with Wilson
as the recipient of the oval Breithaupt,
Wilson's running mate, also ran down
under the ball on Webb's passing

III Pennsylvania football team does
not win from Cornell or hold the Ithacana
TO very close score on Thursday It will
be almost knockout blow for the Red
and Blues gridiron prestige. This is be-
cause OF the miraculous comebacks of
former Pennsylvania teams. particularly
against Cornell. on paper there does not
seem to be any comparison between the
strength OF the Ithacans and the Qua
kers. but old football men and football
writer's all over the State refuse to be-
iIeve that even this Pennsylvania eleven
hasn't a chance. The Quakers have
overwhelmed Cornell SO often and under
such difficult conditions that the football
public cannot adjust itself to the idea
that Pennsylvania Is already beaten. even
under the present distressing circum-
stances. The Quakers will have a hard
time living up to the regulations of for
mer Rcd and Blue teams.
Il is not very satisfactory to analyze
tho elemental strength of the two teams,
Tor when we compare what they have
done this year we cannot see much hope
for Pennsylvania. But that has never
been the way to rate the chances OF the
ouakers against the Ithacans.

In 1900 Cornell had team several touch
downs better than Pennsylvania, yet was pre-
vented from scoring in the last minute OF
the game when with defense which one OF
the officials described as 'Thermopylean," the
QuRkerB held the 1thacans twice for downs.
The next year Cornell was an even better
team one which had triumphed over Prince

Pennsylvania eleven remembering those games

1t is the memory OF these games that has
made football writer's skeptcal over Penn

shattered the prestige Of Quaker football.
Coming right down to discussion of the
football merits OF the two teams, II must be
said that Pennsylvania has at no time this year
played consistently winning football againBt a
big team. Cornell has and is deservedly the
favorite. Just what effect the many changes
nindo in the lineup OF the Quaker eleven will
have on the morale OF the team or It's attack

ball can't be taught overnight.
At the same time, this Quaker eleven has not
yet played the sort OF football Of which It is
capable. Perhaps the radical shifts in the
