There are only two football games on
tomorrow's schedule which we may prop
erly label big" Giving local interests
precedence they are the meeting between
Pennsylvania and Michigan at Ann Arbor
and Harvard and Princeton at Cam
bridge. All the other big colleges have
important games. and If football history
continues as it has been this fall there
may be more upsets. At Ithaca Cornell
will try conclusions with Franklin and
Marshall. the team which month ago
defeated Pennsylvania 10 to o. AT New
Haven the Yale team tackles Brown, but
the Providence men have not been up to
their usual standard Dartmouth may or
may not have tough game with Tufts
This years Pennsylvania Michigan
game takes on added Importance for
number of reasons Since Pennsylvania
and Harvard have stopped meeting on
the gridiron the Quakers always relish
an opportunity to compare strength with
the Crimson. A week ago Harvard beat
Michigan by the score OF 10. So while
Pennsylvania hopes to beat Michigan for
natural reasons, the Quakers also hope
to make n better showing against the
wolverines than did Harvard.
To date Pennsylvania and Michigan
have met nine times. The Quakers have
had the better OF the series. winning Ave
times, losing three times and being tied
once. The frst game was played In 1899
No more games were played until 1906
when Michigan took Harvard's place on
the Quaker schedule and has been played
ever since.
The record for the series follows;

Of the season The Crimson offense will be

Crimson has had the most vulnerable defense
Of any OF the big teams this year. With the
exception Of Michigan every strong team HaT-
ward has met this year has scored, and Michi-
gan should have tailed, on two other occa-
sions Harvard has been outplayed, the teams
which accomplished this being Washington and
Tsfferson and Penn State. This Is conclusive
proof that HarvRTd's defense hasn't been what
h should be. The return OF Pennock will
strengthen the line where II has been weakest
Thsre Is no strong likelihood that Franklin
and Marshall can beat Cornell tomorrow as
ne lancaster Collegians did Pennsylvania
month ago. hut even II Cornell should win by
4 decisive score, this would not mean that
Cornell Is now any stronger than PennsylEa-
Ma for the Quakers were far on form In that
zams and made so many mistakes that
IA 4 wonder they were not beaten worse than
.hsy were. But the recollection OF that 100
score will certainly spur Cornell on
