p,rn's average, even against WeaA
.sans. has been about three, touch-
5orns 10 the game, and Cornell, II she
sisvs any kind Of billiards, should hold
~ Philadelphians, say, as well as the
krentably weak Carlisle Indians
Io,ipst this Carlisle team georgia

Tyer in a season where upsets nave
b,sr ss plentiful as sand fleas in South

se. that Cornell hasn't chance IN the
vorl5 OF winning Thursdays game
Bg, with a spirited defence there Ger

Penn offensive 70 respectable total.
Berry May Skirt Line
This rails 10 mind the fact that Berry
nav have one of his superhuman eay

fsubsek play he has shown lar great
;, ,bili.v TO skirt the ends than 10
k.-nsr mis- way through the line
vLi.b in q measure is surprising IN
fgfbsek. II is significant that with the
IN near Dartmouth's and Pittsburgh s
rrs the Penn quarterback did not once
-.yus- the ball 10 the graceful full-
hek. Straus and Bell were toe men
,tOsen when the line plunge was the
!zsible means OF gain.
Az footing Il around the end Berry Is
sse Of the few high class men VINO are
plsying ball this season. HIS speed
sfoot enables him 70 outdistance tne
svsrsge pursuer, and he is himself bet
vr than ordinary in picking way
through a broken field. That IS where
a viii be dangerous against Cornell,
v,l..s her ends are protected. Once
s1 lis stride and through the primary
cs.snce Berry legs along like a deer
ss9 If Cornell is overwhelmed Thurs
Ay I. will be because her ends were
beIsd in. allowing Berry the rlght OF
vsy for long lateral runs tha' turn
'ssrply down the field once the road Is
cleared.
Penn Easily Better
IN summing Up the prospects for
Iaursdays game IL is as well TO re-
.snbsr that whereas Cornell lost TO
Michigan by a score Of AZ 20 0, the
Perm eleven walloped Yost's proteges,
Bio 0. That would indicate that Penn
8 easily 80 points better than DR..
stsrpe's machine. And yet
