ANY analysis of the play Of the two
elevens leads TO one conclusion On
paper Cornell should win, and by
margin wide enough 20 leave no room
for cavil On the results Of the sea-
son, on a line through Michigan the
only team met in common, the chances
of Pennsylvania look no brighter than
the moon slipping up on one side ana
trying TO outshine the declining sun
Cornell beat Michigan by score oil
"a 10 7. The Quakers played the
Wolverines TO a scoreless tie. After the
latter game Hurry Up" Yost expressed
the opinion that Pennsylvanis's defence
was stronger than CornelPsi but wha1
about the offence? DR.. Sharpe mas
built up an attack this year that mas
scored 263 points in eight games-ani
attack which, while lacking variety at
times, particularly against harvard,
has been recognized for its power and
drive and scoring punch. In COM
harrison the offence of the Quakers has
been loose and impotent.
Poor Season for Quakers.
Pennsylvania won its first three
games. but since then has lost to Penn
svlyania State. Lafayette. Pittsburgh
and Dartmouth and tied with the Navy
and Michigan. Behind the eleven Is
disappointing and discouraging season,
but in front of it to-day is the oppor-
tunity to make amends, and the Quak-
ers are noted for their tighting spirit
if nothing else. g.,
The best spirit, the liveliest deter
mination in the world, however, counts
for little so far as scoring Is con,
cerned against team better equipped
with weapons for point getting, ana
Cornell is far better equipped in this
respect, unless, perchance, the coaches
In Philadelphia have been able TO bring
their team along fast and far In the
last ten days.
Upsets in football have come co be
the rule rather than the exception
There is no accounting for some OF the
unexpected happenings this season, but
here is situation that can be faced
without butts or ifs. There IS no peg
on which 10 hang a possible victory
for Pennsylvania, except those uncer-
tainties of the sport for which there is
no rhyme or reason.
The Fame of Barrett.
Captain Charley Barrett will play ms
last game for Cornell this afternoon
and football will lose one of its bright
est stars. Here is a player who does
everything we'll; here Is player whose
name will ever be ranked among th'
greatest and best. There are those VINO
Consider him the equal if not the su
perior of Eddie Mahan, and certainly ne
treads closely on the heels of the Har,
yard captain. In fact, Barrett should
he TO Cornell this afternoon what Ma
han was 10 the Crimson last Saturday
The rock on which Pennsylvania WI
split. But this must be remembered
Cornell, even without Barrett, eNcep
for three or four minutes, was strong
enough 10 beat Harvard with Mahan OF
Shiverick. the wonderful punter; Col

support to-day.
Then, too, the Cornell line has prove
itself wonderfully efficient under tn
mastery coaching of Dan Reed and Ra
Van Orman. Shelton is by all odds on
of the best ends in the country, anc
barring an unexpected slump to-day,
sure TO find a place on most all-sta
teams. Eckiey is a worthy runnln
mate at the other end, while Dande
