/ 1921 football season will be a COM
plete success.
Let Pittsburgh beat Penn State,
Pennsylvania win from Cornell and
the Army route the Navy and the
theory that no one knows anything
about football will be proven.
There has been enough already
to make this belief sound
Take Pittsburgh for instance. TIE
Painters were regarded as one of
the strongest teams in the east
until Lafayette and Nebraska came
along. Notre Dame is rated by the
east as the greatest all-around team
ever seen around the Atlantic sea-
board Yet. Iowa trimmed the
Hoosiers. although Rockne's team
gained three times as many yards.
Ohio State fell before Oberlin, a
small Ohio college, and then swept
through a hard schedule until they
reached Illinois. the easiest marx
on the card. Illinois won and
threw Ohio State out Of the cham
pionship.
Penn States only reverse was
the tie with Harvard in a game in
which the Crimson was outplayed
throughout.
Yale showed such form that the
Blue went against Harvard a to
1 fight. but Harvard won.
Penn was swamped by every
team of any ability until Dart
mouth came along and Pennsyl-
vania slipped up, and tied the
Hanover team. Rutgers had won
only three games but a much
stronger West Virginia eleven
went down in the last game of the
season.
Pennsylvania State and Iowa
are the only big teams that escaped
the knife of the upsetter. Iowa is
through for the year, but Pennsyl-
vania State has Pittsburgh to beat
Thursday. Pittsburgh might do il
Cornell has treated every oppon-
ent shamefully and only Pennsyl-
yania remains in the way. 1t
would be in keeping with form as
it has run TO see Cornell go down.
The last blow to the dope could
come Saturday if the Army beat the
powerful eleven from Annapolis.
