PENN AND PRINCETON
MAY MEET ON GR|D|RON
Game Reported to Hinge on
Outcome of Tigers Strained
Relations With Harvard.

PHILADELrHIA Nov. 25-Rumors
are wildly circulating about Phila-
/ Gclnhia and Princeton that there will
tween Penn and old Nassau next
| year. After having been agitatcd for
several years. II seems that the time
has come for an annual game be-
tween the two institutions. An i'm
portant phase OF the matter is the
extremely strained relations between
Harvard and Princeton. There have
been broad intimations coming from
Cambridge that the Crimson will not
have place reserved on her 1925
schedule for the Tiger eleven
Charges and counter-charges are ny-
| chusetts. and unless the quarrel is
ended at once it will be imposs iblc
to get both sides together for their
annual scrap. John Harvard hints
that the indictment will be 'unncces-
sary rouGhness." While all this
must he taken with grain of salt
there is no denying that the annual
| Harvard princeton game trcmblcs in
the balance. The authorities at Cam
tai as TO the result OF the Disagree
mcnt.
According to a prominent Prince
ton graduate OF this city, Princeton
| will meet renn If there is break
with Harvard. The Red and Blue and
Orange and Black are logical uppo-
nonts and Penn will certainly he
! given a place on the Tigers schedule
| II the big Three fall out. On the
! other hand. there is an even chance
f. that Penn viii take the place Of
| Chicago. 1t has been definitely an
| nounced that the Wcstcrners will not
| play Princeton next year because OF
the agreement OF the big Three" to
discourage intersectional games UNI
| der the two-year contract. The idea
was introduced primarily to do away
| with the long trips such as Prince
| ton made this year when II played
At Stage Field, Chicago. So 1t looks
as If Penn is due to land back
in the time football class
for whether or not Harvard calls off
hcr game and rctircs with injured
dignity. there will he a gap to be
hllcd. II neither Chicago nor Har-
ward meets Princeton in 1928. il will
make "a fenn-rrinceton game imper-
alive
From monetary point OF view
which is "a compcliir.: factor in ar
ranging a schedule. such "a contest
would draw crowd that would over
tax Franklin Field. Unfortunately,
the new stadium would not hold the
throng that would clamcr for tickets
! The demand for Army Navy seats is
about tho only parallel. II the game
were played at the Palmer Stadium
New Jersey, roads would he TANNED
from Philadelphia To New York City.
Ii can be stated on good authority
mat Yale is 'ryin. 10 hold intact the
games of the rig Three" Authori-
ties at New Haven would be sorry to
see a break and are willing 10 do
eNcrNthing possible to prevent il
Whether the Eluc. acting as media
tor. can save the situation, is Il PROB
lem.
II Penn and Princeton clash next
year, IL Will he their first football
game since lS?i. For ~ years the
memory "f that last bitter defeat has
caused the Tiger To iguore the Red
ana iiluc. However. IL is time that
old animoSitics be forgotten tho
Ratchet he buried and game ar
ranged. Penn viii have great team
next year. 50 will Princeton. 1t ouEh,
