Pennsylvania impressive football
team, tied by Penn State. but unde-
feated, has one more bridge to cross.
The Quakers will entertain Cornell
on Thursday at Franklin Field Phil
adelphia. Victory for the Philadel-
phians will not. however. prove them
the strongest team in the entire East,

The Hanover eleven. with seven
games won and one tied. played its
last contest a week ago against Cor

Most surprising is the presence

Washington & jefferson and West
Virginia have continued in the higher
attitudes. each losing game but
winning seven, Rutgers and Syracuse
