I
not been defeated. Pennsylvania has lost
two games. both by small margins. but
has played the harder schedule. The
high lights in the Cornell record are the
victories over Colgate and Dartmouth.
The high lights in the Pennsylvania rec
ord are the startling triumph over the
Navy, the victory over Penn State and
the even scrap with Pittsburgh.
Penn's Defense strong.
You will note. too. that no team has
scored more than one touchdown on the
Red and Blue, which speaks volumes for
its defense. Cornell has n powerful
scoring machine. which in seven games
has rolled up $40 points. an average OF
~ points for a game. Four touchdowns
have been made against the Big Red
team. but none Of these came while the
first eleven was In the field. Albright
got a couple of touchdowns against the
substitutes recently.
There is a suspicion that one side Of
the Cornell line Is vulnerable and we
look for Penn. with the slashing Thur.
man at tackle, to concentrate its line at
tack on that side. Both teams have
highly varied attacks. with Penn making
a feature of the forward pass.
There Is a lot of similarity in the
styles OF the two teams. Dobie has
taught his lire to charge low and fast
and his backs TO rip in with terrific pace
and power. There is perfect coordination
there-splendd timing. Pennsylvania
line and It's backs act pretty much the
same way. The Cornell line Is the more
rugged. but Pennsylvania's forwards are
fighting every minute.
We have stressed this factor OF fight.
but we cannot give too much Importance
and emphasis 10 IL. What fight will do
has been demonstrated every Saturday
Of the season. What gameness and
scrappiness will accomplish was shown
by Penn when II rose from the rucl<
against the Navy in the second half and
tore the midshipmen to shreds for
victory BY 13 TO z. AS we figure II.
any team which could outright and beat
the Navy has strong chance in any
company.
CoIumbis Has y Chance.
Another game IN which too much must
not be taken for granted tomorrow will
be the contest between Colgate and Co
Iurnbia at New York On their records
the game looks assured to Colgate. 1t
has proved one Of the strongest eevens
IN the East. II held Cornell to two
touchdowns q outplayed Princeton,
though the Tigers won by 10 TO o.; II
fought Syracuse almost even and lost
by only IA TO Z.
Columbia. on the other hand, has been
n dismal disappointment II has been
beaten by Dartmouth. Cornell and Will
Jams While Cornell won over the Me-
room by ~ TO 0 Il piled up 56 points
on Columbia. And yet tomorrow Co
Iun,bia will have a chance. Columbia
still Is on the up grade, determined to
make up for its past shortcomings. Col
gate without question has slid since the
saire with Syracuse. That was the big
objective and with that goal passed there
rs no doubt that the Maroon gradually
has lost some Of It's form. II may be
as close an II was last year. when COL
gate won in the rain and mud by 81
TO IL.
Columbia. which will fight. must then
ne granted a chance. n Colgate should
hold It's form tho Blue and White will
work up a fine appetite chasing those
red Jerseys ell over South Field. How
ever, Columbia faces a situation similar
10 that which Il confronted In 1919, when
10 played Brown on turkey day. Brown
had beaten Dartmouth. to s. and had
held Tale TO IL points. II looked easy
for the Bears for Columbia had been
trounced by Stevens. Wesleyan and NJ.
V. Y. Yet Columbia. fighting hard. held
