PENN DEFEATED BY
 CORNELL ELEVEN

Philadelphia, November 26.-CorneIl defeated Pennsylvania 24 to 12 today In their anual game, which was an in- teresting but loosely played contest. The Quakers gave the Ithacans a bad scare In the third period when. with the score 10 to O against them, the Pennsylvanians suddenly reversed form. Before Cornell could recover the home eleven had forged to the front, 12 to 10. Cornell then put It's scoring machine in motion again and at the end of the period had tho advantage 1T to 12.
 Cornell had been looked upon as an easy winner but did not play with the | smoothness that was expected, fumbles and penalties costing her much ground The visitors showed scoring power however. and barring the fumbles sell dom were stopped in their progress. Forward passes greatly aided Penn sylvania in scoring it's two touchdowns Barrett contributed IT of Cornelrs 2f points and stopped many of Pennsyl- vania's plays.

5 FAILURE TO GOAL GIVES ANEE VICTORY

Auburn, November 25.-(Special) sThe refusal of Tennessee to play a post-season game is big disappoint- ment to the Auburn players. They are rather bitter against themselves for the wretched game they played against Georgia and are anxious to get the taste of it out of their mouths. Their slump. however. came at the logical time. After keying up against Van derbilt and being accorded the cham pionship by their friends and then play ing a team which had been defeated by three teams that Auburn had beat en, the result was a complete reversal of form in spite of everything that those could do who foresaw the dam ger.
 Auburns yearly schedule. too, from an $. l. A. A. standpoint Is the hard est of any. Every team is sure to slump sometime during the season, but as Auburn only plays s. I. A. A. games her slump has to come in a contest that hurts her standing. Other teams can play very poor football in outside games, as vanderbilt did against Vir- ginia, and then not have their s. I. A. standing hurt at all.
 Harvard was held to a tie by Brown and 10 to victory by Washington and Jefferson, yet she is held as the greatest team of all time. Auburn still thinks that she is the champion of the s. l. A. A.. because she had not been

defeated and because she holds the unique distinction of being the only team in the United States, under pres- ent day football, not scored on.
 A comparison of her scores with those Of Tennessee, the only other claimant. undoubtedly gives Auburn the edge. Comparative scores are a poor way of determining a team s strength. But with Tennessee's refusal to play that is all that is left, and un- less there is positive evidence to the contrary. champion Is still cham pion. Tennessee and Auburn played two teams in common: Clemson and Vanderbilt. The Clemson game was won by Auburn by one more point than Tennesste's victory over Clemson. The Vanderbilt game is in Auburn's favor, with Vanderbilt admittedly playing the best game she had played during the season. Tennessee defeated a demoral- ized Alabama team F to T. but Au- burn defeated Mississippi A. and M, that was at least as strong as Ala bana on that occasion, 19 to 0. Ten nessee defeated Sewanee 14 to ', but Auburn defeated Tech at the top of said before. is only poor method at all to indicate that Auburn is still not the best team in the S. I. A. A.
 Against their common opponents, Clemson and Vanderbilt, Auburn has the edge on Tennessee, and too, the Auburn schedule was much harder than Tennessee's, which should be consid- cred by all. and too, Auburn's goal line remains uncrossed.

Jackson, Miss, November 26.-(Spe- cia1.)-Mississippi of Clinton defeated Howard college of Birmingham on the Jackson grounds today by score of 27 to 6, the game being one of the slowest and most uninteresting ever seen here beginning at 3 o'clock and ending at 5:20, when it was too dark to see the ball to tell the men apart 10 feet from the side lines, while a heavy drizzling rain added to the dis comforture of the 100 spectators.
 The teams seemed very evenly matched. reither being able to do much on forward passes and both depending largely on end runs. Robinson proved the star performer for Howard and was badly bunged up, being knocked out injured. The Mssissippians played a rough game, Thompson and Luke being put out on that account

HOBO is HERO;

A hobo, in well wcrn clothing. who
was preparing TO make his bed in a

by the train when taken from their
perilous positions.
After leading the boys back 10 the

while he went out for his orders and
promising them a trip 70 their home
as soon as his train" came in, he
went out and found Policeman Harry
Jennings He told him of the boys
and they were then taken TO the police
station.
The lads told their stories. saying
they were students at the Notre Dame
school and that they were homesick.
Some NOtre Dame students who were
down town were called in and were
given possession Of the boys and saw
that they were taken back to the IN

While the tramp was still being held
by the police the students proceeded
to make up a purse for him and he
departed at once for nearby restaur-

could eat no more file settled back
with a sigh of content but il was not
