Friends Look For EARLY
Definite Statement On
Entry Into President
ss.s<
iaI Race

Washington. Nov.-With the re-
turn to Washington of Republican
leaders for the opening of Congress,
pressure for an early definite an.
nouncement by President Coolidge of
whether he will seek the presidential
nomination i'm 1924 is being increased,
and some of his friends believe he
will settle the question soon. 80.
Many of the Presidents supporters
have visited him recently and urged
him to make an announcement of
his candidacy at an early date, but
so far he has contented himself with
listening to advice without giving an
intimation of his course. Notwith-
standing this. however, and although
the president has remained inactive,
his friends in several states have
taken steps in a preliminary way
for his entry into the presidential
race. e
Announcement of Senator Hiram
Johnson's candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination has served to force
the preparation of all campaign
plans, it is said, sooner than was an
'ticipated. With Senator johnson
making his initial bid in Illinois; 1t
was learned today that Illinois
friends of Mr.. Coolidge already are
preparing the way for a contest for
that states delegation. George NJ.
Reynolds, prominent Republican
leader and banker of Chicago con-
ferred here yesterday with President
Coolidge. While 1t was said that Mr..
Reynolds called merely to "pay his
respects" some Republican leaders
saw fore than perfunctory signifi-
canoe y the visit.
q Several other prominent Repuhlf-
cans have been here recently con-
ferring personally with President
Coolidge or with his friends on poll
teal conditions in a number of
states. The President so far appears
to have been merely taking counsel
without any suggestions affecting his
personal political welfare.
The situation in Maryland, in the
belief of many, probably will serve
to bring President Coolidge person.
ally into definite position. Mary
lands primary law requires an an
.nouncement personally from each
candidate whose name. goes on the
ballot. Arrangements already have
been made for Senator johnson and
Maryland Republicans have been
here recently urging the executive
TO have his name entered for the
primary which will be held May s.
The Presidents friends are of the
opinion that 1t is only natural that
Mr.. Coolidge should defer any an
nouEcement as to his course until
after his opening address to Con-
gress and its reaction. upon. he

the greater part of the game by an
alert brilliant Penn defence and
won by the narrow margin of a
single touchdown only after a
struggle in which the tide shifted
back and forth spectacularly until
the final whistle.
Against one of the most powerful,

offensive that had moved down all

Penn fought one of the most gallant,
courageous battles of the year a-d.

glory as did Cornell in triumph.
Cornell scored touchdowns in the
first and last periods, forward passes
figuring prominently in both tallies,
while Penn, aroused to a fighting

quick advantage of a Cornell tumble
and ploughed rs yards to cross the
lthacans' goal line for the first time
since 1920. !
