TllOlr ItCSt men curried off to tho enlistment station ns soon as tho United States became Involved, jiaelns their collcgo careers behind to servo their country. Only tho rejected men ud those too younK for service remained, and with that sort of material Coacho Harlow and Sharpo started In to build teams. Tlioy have met defeat more than ) enc. but thclc standings In no way have been Impaired. They put elovcni out on ' the field not so much to win games, but to teach tho men a sport nhleh Is Invalu able on theUMttlcfleld and also to train tho youngsters for tho Bigger name when the time comes for them to Join tho colors. They wero worse off than Yale, Prince ton and Harvard, who discontinued athletics instead of leading the way ns In times of peace. They forgot collego tradition, prestige on tho grldlTon, the desire to win games and everything clso In order to promulgato the sport. It was tho truo American spirit, and to proo It both colleges accepted tho adverse condition Without protest. Thoy have not whimpered or sought excuses for their poor show ing, which would have been perfectly Justifiable. Cornell comes here tomorrow with a team composed of strangers, so far as renn la concerned. An entirely new eleven has been welded together up at Ithaca, and while the men aro Inferior to thoso of former jcars. thoy have tho grit and determination to fight to the last and make things Interesting until tho final whistle blows. They will tight a battlo against tremendous odds, but It Is aafe to say that no man will Ho down and q.ult They Unow exactly what thoy are up aralnst and will bravely take what is 'coming without asking for quarter Cornell this year has shown the spirit which makes MEN. A TEAM like that Is bound to gain respect, and tho?e who Journey to Franklin Field will not lcavo without paying homage to that sturdy Itcd team and Its coach. Dr. Al Sharpe. Doctor Sharpe mado a reputation v at Cornell and he Is proud of It. Ho turned out tho best teams tho Ithacans havo had in years, but nothing can comparo with his work this year. "With a losing team, ho stands greater than ever before, H Is one coach who places duty abovo personal ambition. Penn State Ready to Battle the Championship Team of the East COACH DICK HARLOW will lead his little band of warriors to Pittsburgh for the annual game with "Warner's team, and although thore Isn't ono chaneo in a million to wln-iccordins to the records of the rtovons tho men aro not ready to concedo a victory to tho champions. Instead, they are working night and day to set themselves in shape, and they will go out on tho Held to win instead of keeping down the score. The spirit up at State Is shown In the following dis patch sent out by the collego correspondent: "While the comparative records for tho fceason give Pitt every point in the argument, the State Collego eleven will go into its closing battlo with every de termination of defeating their opponents. Tho spirit of tho players and coaches Is excellent. None of them Is for one moment minimizing tho Panthers' strength, but State's fighting spirit Is aroused to tho point whero tho Bluo and White Is going Into that fray with tho intention of being the first team In thrco years to lower the Blue and Gold standaid. Formations that are expected to baffle Pitt's defense axe being carefully rehearsed twice dally on Beaver Field. This year, due to the vast amount of time glvon to military instruction at State Collego, Ave prominent first-string players aro unablo to participate In tho usual afternoon practice. To meet tho cond.tlons a midday drill Is held dally from 11 to 1 o'clock. All the struad Is collected for theso sessions ar.d the bulk of offensive work Is planned and developed then. Defenslvo tactics aro learned later in the after soon. In the dally scrimmages with tho freshmen." v State has an extremely light team this year, but the men play hard football. ,Onee they won a game in the last two minutes of play, whch shows tho lighting qualities of the men. Wo asked Tom Keady up at Lehigh what kind of a team State had this year, and Tom replied: "Ptato will give any team in tho country a hard battle from start to finish. Wo had a hard time winning and I must hay that Dick Harlow has developed one of the best lines I ever have seen. How he -did It with that material Is a mystery. All I can say Is that Harlow has proved himself to be a high-class coach, for ho certainly has accomplished wonders. Pitt will have a hard time against that defense." A' m 5 iff. T THAT, State will have moro of a chaneo against Pitt than Cornell will have against Penn. Nevertheless, wo must admire the attitude of the authorities at these two colloges, for they had plenty of excuse to call everything off early In' September. They evidently bellevo In the old adage, "It Is better to have played and lost than never to havo played at all." Any one can be a good winner, but It takes a man to gracefully, accept a beating. Eddie O'Kcefe Still a Victim of Hard Luck WHEN it comes to hard luck, adverse conditions and everything el?o pertaining to the well-known Jinx, Mr. Eddlo O'Keefe, featherweight boxer, has had more than his share. Monday night at tho Olympla he broke his right hand In the first ten seconds of his bout with Joo Lynch, 'of New York, and for almost four rounds boxed like a man with ono arm tied behind his back. His left was his only weapon of offense nnd defense, and ho used It with such good effect that Iynch was held at a distance. He couldn't use his right hand even to protect himself in the clinches, yet despite this handicap he gamely stuck to his task until Referee Pop O'Brien stopped tho bout. It was a wonderful exhibition of fcameness, but few In the audience know what had happened. Testerday O'Keefo went to the hospital, where tho fracturo was set and the arm. placed In a cast According to Jack Welnsteln, his manager, Eddlo will take care of the Injured mitt and allow It to heal properly for his bout with Gussle Lewis at the big benefit show on December 19. I I Camp Sherman Eleven Draws Big Money at Gate CAPTAIN TALBOT'S Camp Sherman cloven, with headquarters nt Chillicothe, O., has been a real money-maker and many dollars have been added to tho treasury tor the benefit of the soldiers. A week ago Saturday Camp Sherman played Camp Sheridan In Cincinnati and more than $50,000 was taken In at tho gate. Last Saturday Captain Talbot led his charges against two teams In tho one afternoon, playing Case in the first half and the Western Reserve in tho second. Twenty-five thousand dollars were added to tho war fund from this game. More than fifteen thousand saw the game in Cleveland, while the contest played on Redland Held la Cincinnati drew close to 25,000 persons.

Rutgers, at her top strength on Saturday, looked far t-fniser, according to most ob server'', than Pittsburgh looked to be against Penn or than Penn looked to be agalnt Michigan. Sanford has developed a machine of great offensive and defensive power at the finleh, a team that completely outclassed an eleven strong enough to beat Brown 35 to 0.

Rut did you see the Army-f hicago game of 19037 In overlooking Daly you have mh-sed the man who knows moro football than any two men living (Walter Camp, of Yale, ex cepted), who used his knowledge of foot ball by putting up the best and most con sistent exhibition of generalship over seen, and who has to his credit more exhibitions of personal prowess than any man who over wore a suit .,!-, MA.TOR A.
