would have received the call from the

their work this year was to be CON
s;dered moro in the nature OF an ex-
pertinent
Take, for instance, Pennsylvania. The
closing of last season saw a whole
sale exodus of the teams stars, the
dismissal Of Bob Folwell and a general
sll-around upheaval. Heisman was APP
pointed from Georgia Tech. Penn au-
thorities told him they wanted a foot
ball team, but they wanted one made

ball secondary to studies.
No Stars in Squad.
The former Georgia Tech mentor be-
gan his work unostentatiousiy and with
squad containing no stars. Saturday
Penn trounced SWarthmore team that
had given Princeton hard struggle the
week previous, and did the trick on
straight, clean-cut football. Heisman
has yet to resort to his shifts. To-
day everybody knows that Penn has a
football team that is coming fast and
that it is in for a good season. And
all followers o. Old Penn are happy.
Cornell suffered wretched season
last year. Its team was a joke. Dobic
was sought out and induced to try his
hand at the Ithaca institution. Here
was his chance to show what he could
do with material That was greoner than
green apples. Dobie, in his usual pes
simistic manner, painted dark outlook
for the Big Red Team On taking hold.
Nobody has triumphed over Cornell
yet, and the team that does take a
game from Dobie's crew this year will
earn It. The lthacanS' start was none
too impressive. Bat Saturday thev
blossomed out with a regular Dobie
wildcat eXpresstrain attack, the kind
that knows no obstacle, and swept S..

Couldn't Stop Way
We stated on Saturday that if Dart

WIN, But it didn't, at least in the first

with three long runs and put State in
a scoring position. Incidentally
