A FTER a break of fifteen years
~ Pennsylvania and Columbia will
revive their old football feud
tomorrow at the Polo Grounds. Back
in the days when Weeks, Morley.
Thorpe and other stars fought for
Columbia and the Blue and White
had a high place in football the an
nual game with the Quakers was one
that quickly developed into ham
mer and tongs battle.
When preparing this seasons
schedule Columbia, confident under
Buck ONeilrs guidance. arranged a
game with Pennsylvania, and so the
old rivals will once again tear at each
other. No matter what the ultimate
outcome is, to- morrow's game will be
real battle, like all preceding Penn
Columbia games. Both O'Neill and
Heisman believe in aggressive foot
ball. While Columbia and Penn have
had disappointing records this year.
their meeting will be replete with
hard playing II nothing else.
Buck O'Neill attributed Columbia's
defeat at the hands Of Cornell most
| ly to weakness in the line and he's
| been shifting the Blue and White
forwards around this week with a
view of hitting on the strongest pos
sible combination. One move is the
definite assignment of Capt. KEN
ninger to an end position. The CO.
lumbia leader has been out of most
games because of injuries, but is now
fully recovered and will surely take
his place in the local lineup.
Harris will direct the team from
quarterback and the baCkiield that
will start against the Red and Blue
will be the same that faced Cornell
