Cornell Departs
For Philadelphia
To Meet Penn
From q .SnrciOl

From Special Correspondent
ITHACA, n. Y, Nov 23.-All prime d
for the Penn game, but wary because
of Establishments experienced IN
Penn games by other Cornell teams in
the past, some thirty Cornell football
players left Ithaca tonight amid a
poppy demonstration in which over
1000 undergraduates braved rain and
sloppy streets in march to the depot.
The Ithacans are bound straight for
Philadelphia, but their plans for final
practice tomorrow are being kept
secret, because Of Coach Dobie's de-
sire that his men may have a quiet
day uninterrupted by visitors.
1t is understood that the squad will
stay in Philadelphia and practice there,
but not on Franklin Field. Careful
handling in the last week has insured
Il maximum of physical condition in
the group Of players Dobie took away
from here tonight to compete in what,
for him, will be real test of his
coaching system since he took hold OF
Cornell football in September. The
team showed pep, speed and smooth
ness in its final workout late to-day
in the baseball cage.
No information of the probable Cor
nell lineup against the Quakers was
forthcoming from the cautious Scott,
but according to general opinion Cor
nell will take the field as follows:
Left end, Finn OR Guinlock: left
tackle, Knauss; left guard, Pendleton
or Goetz; center, Brayton; right guard,
Miner; right tackle, Dodge; right end,
Munns; quarterback. Hoff; halfbacks,
kaw, Mayer, Dunieavy; fullback, Cary.

Yale Club Makes
Sweep at Squash;
Columbia Winner

The Yale Club drew away from its
competitors in the Glass B squash tour
rament for the metropolitan champion
ship by administering a decisive
trouncing to the Princeton Club on the
courts of the Eli team yesterday after
noon. The Tiger bat wielders we're
completely baffled by the speed and &C
curacy of the Yale players, and failed
to take even one game of the seven.
Over at the Harvard Club the Colum-
bia team emerged with close victory
over the Crimson, the score being to
3. A great deal of the credit for the
Blue and White triumph went to A. C.
Scott, who broke the deadlock of Sail
by defeating +. S. Ritchie, coming from
behind in the last two sets and over
whelming his opponent.
What probably was the greatest up
set of the days play, aside from the
sweep by Yale, was the defeat of Coul-
ter, of Harvard, bv Mahon, of Column
bla. This match was featured by sem
sational playing streaks. Coulter won
the first set in extra innings and led
the second at Sd Mahon brought the
score up to 8-all and then ran out
without dropping another point. Coul-
ter lost his bearings entirely in the
third frame and failed to score once.
The Army and Navy Club and the

yesterday, the other FIVE being post
poned until to-day.

O'Ncill and Folwell Saw
Suggestion of Curbing
Due Consid era ii O II
Pass Should Be Given
BY Ray Mccarthy

Percy Haughton's suggestion that
the use of the forward pass be curbed
by having pass blocked behind the
line of scrimmage subject to recovery
by the defense has started another
wide discussion of the present game
and possible changes. We quizzed sew
eral prominent football personages in
town yesterday and the general opinion
Of these was that the game as it stood
was very satisfactory, providing for q
sound, spectacular game that has not
produced the number of seriods in
juries which resulted from the old
style Of play.
All Of these men, though, did admit
Haughton's suggestion was worthy OF
consideration, but at the same time
they argued that no radical change
with the pass inasmuch as the exist
ence OF the smaller aud lighter teams
depended great deal on this method
OF offense.
Buck" O'Neill, coach Of the Colum-
bia team, said that he had not time TO
consider the proporiuon. but offhand
thought no change should be made in
the rules now governing the pass. He
said that If Haughton's suggestion was
adopted grounded pass would result
IN lively scramble, in which players
would be injured.
Folwell Approved Of Plan
We sent kilograms to several coaches
asking their opinion. Bob Folwell, who
is hsndling the Navy eleven, wired:
"The idea Is not a bad one. In
fact, think the proposition is we'll
worth considering. / am not ready
to say that ! favor 1t as | have not
given 1t much thought, but the sug-
gestion 10 an interesting one"
"Chick" Meehan, Syracuse coach, in
speaking Of the. proposition, said:
"Haughton's suggestion, II adopted,
would develop short and snappy
passes and would eliminate the long
ones. The game would not be as
open because passes would be more
dangerous and tho light collegs
