CORNELL AND ARMY CHOICES.
Odds of 2 to l on Former Against
Penn; 10 to 8 Against Navy.

NEW YORK. November 24.-Cornel
and the Army are favorites in the two
remaining big foot ball games Of the
season. The betting odds in the Wal
street district yesterday favored the
Ithacans against Pennsylvania Thursday
and the Soldiers against the Navy Satur-
day.
Not much Pennsylvania money was in
sight, and the few hackers Of the Quakers
we're asking and getting odds of to
from the supporters Of Cornell.
The ArmyNavy game was regarded as
q more nearly even proposition. and
plenty Of Army money was offered al
odds Of 10 to 9. The hackers Of the
Navy were not in evidence to any great
extent. and a good deal of the ARM
money was left uncovered. A year ago
the Navy was a 6-to-1 favorite over the
Army. but the stunning reverse at the
Polo Grounds gave the cadets a prestige
which is reflected in the odds this year.
