Cayuga Stronger Than
Pitt and Lafayette, As.

DEM scouts and graduates who wit.
L messed the Cornell Columbia game
last Saturday are unit in declaring that
the Red and White has one Of its great
est teams since Charley Barrett helped
make gridiron history on the shores
| of Lake Cayuga.
! 1t will bc remembered that this same
Barrett was the main factor in the last
gridiron victory of the eleven from the
shores Of Lake Cayuga over Penn
team on Thanksgiving Day. And Penn
verses since then is due to end this
Turkey Day il form counts for any
thing.
According to Tom Mcnamara. the
Penn scout, the Ithncans have one Of
the fastest teams he has seen in uc-
tion this season and the former Ford
Fam boy has secuted every team on the
Red and Blue schedule including the
powerful Lafayette and Pitt teams.
II really think" said Mcnamara this
morning, that Cornell has more pow
crful team than either Pittsburgh or
Lafayette. The Tthacnn team moves aS
unit, eleven men are in play all the
time, and their speed in action is some
thing pretty to look at. When II team
gets across four plays to the minute
it shows lots and lots OF speed. The
line Is strong and husky and capable
of performing prodiglous feats, while
the backs arc fast, aggressive and
schooled to the finish point.
A Veteran Eleven
sTTNHEY looked awfully good to nc
L and l think that Dobic has a
mighty fine eleven. The team is
veteran one, but also includes many Of
tho freshman team of last year, which
our first year men defeated in 1920.
Penn will have its hands filled to over
flowing on Thanksgiving Day, tradi-
tion or no tradition.
"CorncH doesn't count its season
success unless the name of Penn
Is tucked on the list Of those de-
fcatcd. and after talking 70 many
Cornell graduates and undcr1rddu
ntes am conuinced that the team
rM make an effort to sho,o its best
against the Red and Blue. Last
gear they had an exceptional team,
but hep fell easy rictims to our
team. This year it might be the
same. There is no telling, and
refuse to husurd a guess
Mcnamara also saw Dartmouth
working, and thinks that. despite the
heavy score tabulated by the Cornel:
lians. the Green has a team that will
need watching With two weeks rest
the HanOverians should be In tip-top
form for Penn.
All last week Dartmouth worked out
plans to thwart Pcnn's attack after the
scouts from New Hampshire had wit
messed the downfall Of tho Red and
Blue against Pittsburgh.
The Green Scouts
T Asst Saturday Cannell. the Dart
Lmouth coach and former star quar-
tcrback Of the Green before the war. sat
in the press box on Franklin Field with
several players and two of his assistant
coaches and watched Penn lose to La
fayette. Those near him say that he
smiled more than once at the game and
eager ears heard him remark that he
did not view the game on Saturday with
as much forebodng as he did after the
rout by Cornell.
Camel was Spears assistant last
year. when Dartmouth routed the Red
and Blue on Franklin Field, and it is
certain that he retains much of the
system that broke up the pet plays Of
Heisman's eleven. In addition, Cannell
knows the Penn system of play from
