DANVILLE. KY, Nov. 14.-Even
II Centre College is shunted off the
Harvard schedule next year the lit
tie Southern institution feels that
1t has established a record against
the Crimson that will stand for a
long time.
Centre has met Harvard for three
consecutive years on the Harvard
field. Centre won one game and lost
two, but in each game managed to
cross the Harvard goal line.
In 1920 Centre was beaten, 80 to
IL. after holding Harvard on even
terms until near. the close OF the
game, when lack Of reserves turned
the tide Of victory to Harvard.
Centres great showing in that
game led to a return engagement.

Harvard scored three times. Centre

the game, losing, ~ to 10.
Few colleges In three consecutive
meetings on the Harvard field can
claim one victory and the crossing

Proving to the 10000 or more spec

crowd in Penn State history at the
Carnegie Tech game last Saturday,
that instead of having their morale
shot by the Navy defeat a week ago
they had merely begun to fight. the
Penn State football warriors justified
the conf denCe of tn. coaches bv
their flashy comeback against Wally
Steffen's big red machine.
Now work has started for the
crucial Penn contest at Franklin
Field this week. The Red and Blue
team has demonstrated its strength
in every game. and when Coach Hugo
Bezdek told his gridders at last
nights practice that they would
meet one u the hardest tests Of the
season on Saturday. he merely con.
firmed the opinion of the players
themselves.
Penn State had a punch in the
Carnegie Tech game. something that
was lacking against both Syracuse
and the Navy, but that punch must
be still further developed to score
against the Quakers this week. Penn
is noted for its great defensive work
this season and no team has been
able to score more than o single
touchdown against the Red and Blue
defense.
There were several promising fea.
lures of the Tech game last week.
