Specidt Correspondence
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 26-If Penn
sylvania is not a good mud team-and
the 10 to defeat at the hands of
Penn State. and the 3-3 tie with Pitt
seem to prove that it Isn't both games
being played on Il wet field-the
Quaker eleven viii face Cornell to-
morrow afternoon handicapped.
An all day rain has turned Franklin
Field into conglomeration of mud
and miniature lakes. The weather fore
cast is further disheartening to the
hopes of Ben Franklin's sons. 1t is
for continued rain or snow tomorrow,
with much colder temperature. A lot
depends on to-morrow's weather con-
ditions and Coach Bob Folwell did not
deny it to- day at the Whitemarsh Val
ley Country Club. where the Quaker
eleven spent its final day of prepare
ton for the annual Thanksgiving
classic
Some members Of the Red and Blue
team are world beaters on dry, hard
field, but rank outsiders in the mud.
This weather problem will undoubtedly
have some bearing on the way Pennsyl-
vania lines up tomorrow afternoon.
Two. and possibly three. new faces are
expected among Folwel's eleven when
the Quakers trot out on the marshy
gridiron.
Joe Straus. chunky youngster
whose solid poundagc gives him added
ability in the mud. may break into the
regular backfield combination, sup
planting Ben Derv This change is
not at all certain, however, for Derr
~ no mean performer on soggy field
himself
The rest of the backfield will remain
\ the same as in the Penn State. Dart
mouth and Pittsburgh games. Captain
pert BELL VIII be at quarter. Bots"
brunner Will do the punting and play
haliback and nobey Light will be seen
at luiiDack, Helnie Miller is fix
lure s. at a, right end and Ray Miller will
probably get the other flank berth, al
though Bud Hopper is giving the
younger Miller a close fight. Hopper
was Camps all-America choice for end
last year
Lou Little and Maynard, or Titzel
will be the tackles, and Carl Thomas
has right guard cinched, with posi-
hility that lighting Jim Neylon. Penn
syivania's heavywe light champion boxer
may supplant Alex Wray at left guard
Lud Wray has firm grasp at center
The rain prevented anything except
a short practice by the Penn clever
at Whitemarsh to-day.
Since Pennsylvania and Cornell be
gan their annual series in 1893 the riva
institutions have played twenty five
times. Twenty times q Pennsylvani,

Thanksgiving Day struggle and foul
times a Big Red team was returned the
winner.
Shiverick. one of the greatest punt
ers and drop kickers of the year, has
tailed thirty-two out of the thirty
four points credited to Cornell this
year This lad will be closely watched
by Pennsylvania tomorrow. Drummer
will attempt to match Shiverick's toe

ment.
In striking contrast to Cornell. which

Blue jerseys for virtually the entire
varsity squad. Captain Bell, Heinie
