Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1914-11-07

While the two big football games to-
day. Pennsylvania against Michigan at
Ann Arbor and Princeton opposing Har-
ward at Cambridge. grip the public in
terest in Philadelphia, there will be many
athletic events of more than usual Inn
portance.
The Red and Blue football team held
Its final practice yesterday afternoon on
Mack's field in Detroit. At the same time
Michigan was receiving few friendly
words of advice and admonition from
Fielding Yost. The general impression
in the West seems TO be that Michigan
has a much better chance to win this
year than she had last although the
wolverines won over their Eastern RI
walls in 1918 by two touchdowns. George
Brooke thinks that his team has been
underestimated, and that all OF the pre-
dictions of the game have been based
on the early season performance OF his
eleven.
At Cambridge this morning the betting
odds favor the Crimson against the Tiger,
but II Is by no means a foregone con-
clusion that the Brickley-less Harvard
team will leave its own stadium win
ner. On the contrary. the Orange and
Black eleven has shown a more diversi-
ned football knowledge this year than
the highly cultured opponent. In the
fnai analysis ele result OF the game is
apt to be swayed by luck as much as
by any other one factor. and this means
that Princeton really stands a better
showing than she is being given credit
for generally.
PENN-CORNELLI RUN.
This morning the Penn freshmen are
running a cross-country race with the
drat-year men of Cornell. The result OF
that event will be completely overshad-
owed by the varsity track teams OF the
a. which hooked to
begin a dual hill-and-dale affair at noon
today over the Fairmount Park course.
This crOss-country event is the biggest In
the country today. Penn's Improvement
in cross-country work during the last
month causes the followers OF the Red
and Blue to be more hopeful over the
outcome OF this race. Usually there are
flve men on each OF these teams but at
the request of Cornell the number has
been increased to seven this year, and
10 a part OF an agreement whereby the
Penn team will run at Ithaca next fall.
The Mercury Athletic Club sent a cross
country team to Reading today to COM
