Penn state on Top.

Penn state insists thet its football
team was the best In the Eas. this year.
How Il compares with the best In the
Far st-California--wiil be demon
strated on Saturday. when State meets
Washington At Seattle. Cornell holds
that Il is entitled 20 consideration In
rating Number Onc--and 40 do Lafay-
cite and Washington and Jefferson. with
a bit OF claim from the direction of
Harvard After making a resume OF
results and other facts we have no
hesitation In naming Penn state as the
owner Of anything that looks like an
Eastern title after this erratlc though
highly gratifying and successful seoson.
We snd that Penn State played by all
odds the toughest schedule In the East
Harvard and Pittsburgh were tied, while
the Navy. Georgia Tech, Pennsylvania
and Lehigh were beaten. Cornell beat
Pennsylvania. Dartmouth and Colgate
every one subnormal eleven. this sea-
son Penn wasn't half the team Il was
last year, Dartmouth was nothing but
ghost of the Green of old and Colgate
was as much like the Colgate of the
West and Abel captaincy days as a
cream puff is like a chunk of steak.
We do not want TO take away from
Cornell an iota OF credit which may be-
long to II. But we would have liked to
see Cornell plough through tho schedule
which Penn State undertook. The test
Of championship ability Is not in piling
up ITO points on a feoble victim. not ID
running wild against sub-standard foes.
the test lies In meeting the best and
proving your mettle against the best
And because Penn State did that we
place II at the top.

There are no indications OF break OF
athletic relations between these two
ancient rivals, and II these two grid
iron teams do not meet next year on
Franklin Field it will merely mean a
brief interlude in the annual battles.
The same thing happened between
Penn State and the Red and Blue last
season. The two failed to agree. but
with the general understanding that a
grid iron game would be arranged after
the lapse of a year or two
Temporary cessation OF games be-
tween Penn and Lafayette will not be
due to any rumors of lax eligibility
rules at the Easton institution. Penn
football men are content to take the
word of the teams they meet without
entering a formal protest against the
playing Of any disputed star or stars.
1t was expected that Lafayette would
not appear on Franklin Field during the
1921 season. but a last minute change
In the schedule brought the. Eastonians
here in place of Columbia, when the
latter could not come to an agreement.

PENN STATES HARD TASK
BY DANIEL.

Lafayette, represented during the foot
ball season just closed by an undefeated
eleven which numbered Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania and Lehigh among its
victims. yesterday made the plea that
either its team get full credit for its ac-
complishments or that It be discredited
for having professional and otherwise in
eligible players among it's personnel.
From time to time this fall charges,
some open. most OF them veiled, have
who were getting salaries for playing
football-men who had played profess
sional baseball-men who were of the
species known as tramp athletes.
The situation came to head yester-
day when the athletic authorities of
Lafayette issued invitations to football
writer's of this section of the country to
gather at Easton this afternoon to form
a court of inquiry into the charges La
fayette wants all the charges aired. If
they be true the faculty will take proper
measures and will forbid the teams
making trip to California. where it has
been invited to represent the East in
post season contest.
Parke II. Davis, who lives In Easton.
tells us that the charges are not founded
on fact and that they are due in the
main to jealousy and the poisoned
pen." However, the situation at Easton
has been common talk in football circles
for two years and it should be
cleared up.

how they get the hang of II fast and
then nothing can stop them" continued
Andy. California beat Ohio States great

PRINCETON. Nov. 30.-Coach Frank
Sullivan is far from optimistic over the

Although fair material is present for
Sullivan to work with, three stars have
been lost to the team. Ken Smith is
out because the two sport rule limits
his athletic interests to football and
baseball. Dick Newly who Wed with
