Finnish Cause in j. ).
Is Aided by Three
Developments
Shipping Of Surplus
Goods c Considered;
Medical Supplies Sent

Maintenance of their perfect
credit rating with the United States
appeared likely to reward the Fin
nish government and its people well
as economic and moral support were
mobilized here today for the be-
leaguered Baltic nation.
Beginning with President Roose-
velt's appeal some weeks ago that
Russia should do nothing to disturb
the peace of the Baltic or violate
the independence Of Finland, the
positive manifestations of official
American sympathy for the Finnish
cause were increased by three de-
velopments yesterday.
And entirely aside from this coun-
try's official attitude, of course, was
another gesture of assistance re-
ported by the Associated Press from
Helsinki today, namely, the arrival
there of 230 Finnish-Americans in
tending to enlist in the Finnish
Army.
Although the party was reported
as having sailed from New York,
the State Department said it had
no records here of such a group of
American citizens leaving for Fin
land. 1t was believed, therefore,
that the men are unnatural.zed
Firms who have been living in this
country.
First of yesterdays developments
was a carefully and significantly
worded message of fluctuations from
Mr.. Roosevelt to President Kyosti
Kallio of Finland on the 22d an
niversary of Finnish independence.
Second was a White House con-
ference between the Chief Executive
and Federal Loan Administrator
Jesse Jones on the possibility OF
financing through Government loan
agencies the shipment of surplus
American mmodities--such as cot
ton, corn and wheat-to Finland.
Third was action by the American
Red Cross, reported to the President
yesterday by Chairman Norman H.
Davis, in directing its Office in Lon
don to send quantity of emergency
medical supplies to Finland by air.
plane, in speeding collection and
shipment of further supplies from
this country and IN authorizing
American chapters Of the Red Cross
to receive contributions for Finnish
relief
Mr.. Davis made second call at
the White House today, reporting
that some financial contributions
for Finnish relief already have been
received. About $4,000 surgical
dressings are awaiting shipment
from New York, he said.
The United States Treasury also
offered encouragement to the Fin
nish cause in ruling which revokes

ports to this country Of Finnish

Navy Looks 10 Wood
For Good Showing
Against Army
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 27.-Army and
Navy football teams never have met,
as they will meet in Philadelphia
next Saturday, without either team
being backed by a victory in major
contest. Interest in the game this
season will center on the rivalry be-
tween the two services rather than
any athletic excellence likely to be
displayed.
The 28-0 victory of Princeton last
Saturday was crusher, but Navy
people are not doWncast and have
planned to show their loyalty to the
team and the coaching staff, headed
by Maj Emery Larson of the ma
rines, in vigorous manner this
week.
AS to the Navy team, and par
ticularly the backfeld. the situation
is most uncertain. No back this
year has shown any consistent abil-
ity either in ball-carrying or pass
ing. The running attack has been
the weakest for years, and though
such backs as Bob Leonard and
Tom Blount have shown spurts of
passing ability in some games, they
have failed to maintain their good
work.
If Emmett Wood, Navy's best car
rier during the past two seasons
who was injured in the Dartmouth
game and played briefly against
Princeton, is in shape, he undoubt-
edly will start against Army or get
in early. Despite his long absence
from the game, Wood is by far the
most likely of the Navy backs to be
effective as ball carrier If he is
in condition.

Unbeaten Hoyas
In Running for
Orange Bowl
Miomi Hopes to Lond
Tennessee; Angles
With Six Others
BY LARRY ROLLINS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 27.-Optimistic
Orange Bowl officials, on the theory
that there is many a slip twixt the
wish and the Pasadena train, still
have Tennessee's football team at
the top Of their prospect list for the
New Year Day game here.
That may come as a surprise in
many quarters, including Knoxville,
where it is an accepted conclusion
that the unbeaten, united, unscored-
upon Volunteers have the Rose Bowl
bid in their hip pockets. The Orange
Bowl hasn't forgotten, however, that
unbeaten Tennessee and equally
spotless Oklahoma were dumped in
its lap at the 18th hour last year.
Missouri Highly Favored.
While the committee keeps fingers
crossed and indulges in wishful
thinking, it is angling with six other
candidates in the most muddled
football pool since the bowl business
went on a competitive basis.
Among the Northern" prospects
Missouris once-beaten Big Six
champions, with colorful Paul
Christman at the helm, appear to
have the inside track. Duquesne and
Georgetown both have unmarried
records, however, and either might
get the call.
The Southern representative in
the Orange Bowl, designed as a
North-South affair, is what has the
committee reaching for the aspirin.
II Tennessee isn't available, Texas
A. & M might be the answer, al
though purists might complain the
Aggies are not strictly Southern"
The Southwest Conference leaders,
too, might be looking toward
Pasadena or New Orleans Sugar
Bowl.
Georgia Tech Liked.
There is a growing sentiment here
in favor of tricky Georgia Tech, on
the threshold of a 3-way tie with
Tennessee and Tulane for the South
eastern Conference title. The fly in
that ointment is Techs game with
Georgia, traditional enemy that
might pull an upset. Tech might be
willing to cancel a scheduled Decem-
ber 80 game with California for an
Orange Bowl bid.
Clemson, beaten only by Tulane,
to 6, is very much in the running.
Among the discarded prospects are
Tulane, considered a Sugar Bowl
certainty; Cornell, Duke and North
Carolina. The latter three, it is
understood, have indicated they
wouldn't be interested.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Cornell,
tagged the football team without a
star, might be labelled better the
team of all-stars.
There was no single player who
stood out above the rest on the
squad that finished it's 1899 season
unbeaten and united Saturday by
rolling over Penn, 800. But neither
was there any spot in that Cornell
array in which there was a weak
ness.
George Munger, the Penn coach.
was one of the first to recognize that
fact. Munger hailed the Ithacans as
'the best team we've played in my
two years of coaching" Even Coach
Carl Snavely, pessimistic in all his
public speaking this fall, finally
broke down and confessed his Cor
nells at least were the best he ever
had coached when it came to max
/ ing the most of opportunities.
Check Reveals Great Coaching.
AS the Ivy League champions pre-
pare for a round of alumni banquets,
check of their record shows what
an amazing job was done by Snave-
ly, his staff. his scouts and his train
er. Frank Kavanagh.
Snavely and staff took a team
that had lost such linemen as Hol-
land, Spang, McKeever, Roth and
Van Ranst and, with only two hold
over 1888 starters, sent it through
successive victories over Syracuse,
Princeton, Penn State, Ohio State,
Columbia, Colgate, Dartmouth and
Penn.
They developed an attack that
aimed for long gamers and used 16
men, three of them ends, as ball
carriers. Eleven players figured in
the scoring, including two of the
ends and tackle, Nick Drahos. One
of the most consistent ground-gain-
ers was Mort Landsberg, 169-pound
fullback who had figured so little in
preseason calculations that his pic
ture didn't even appear in the OPEN
ing game program
Landsberg probably was the most
surprising individual on a surprising
squad. The chunky little junior
never had played football before
coming to Cornell. And it was only
through the loss of Capt. Vince
Eichler that he got his chance.
When the experts, in their pre-
season estimates, gave Cornell a
good chance to repeat its 1888 Ivy
League victory, Eichler figured
heavily in those predictions. One of
the East's best plunging fullbacks,
he was expected to furnish the power
that would blend with the running
and passing of Whit Baker and Hal
Mccullough.
But Eichler was hurt and put out
for the year before the first game.
Cornell's stock took a tumble, and
the experts shook their heads. In
stead, though, that injury merely
