By EDWARD B. BtTSHNBLIi ' Can tho University of Pennsylvania football authorities, by an eleventh-hour Bhlft, save their team from destruction al tho hands of Cornell? No team In Penn sylvania hlBtory ever had to face such a trying situation or had less reason for hopo. Tllelr hopes aro built on Mtlo be Bides experiments. They may do better than, many persona anticipate, but It docs no' iftok as though this Cornell team fid lend Itself to this sort of a pro gram. They know too much football. Tho action of the Pennsylvania coaches In putting Avery at fullback to replace Tucker may work tho charm, for Avery has carried good luck with him most of the seaeoii. Ho beat the Navy with an Intercepted forward pass and an 0-yard run, and he triumphed over the Indians with a forward pass which ho sent to Merrell. There Is no reason why Avery should not bo a wonderful player. He has every requisite for It, speed, strength and weight. That ho has not been Is duo to the fact that he doesn't play overy mtnuto with the sort of fighting abandon that characterized cx-Cnptnln Hill llol lenback. But Avery has been known to play this sort of game, and tho writer has seen him do It more Minn. once In tho dally practices on Franklin Field, but never In a big game. Tho stago Is now sot -for Avery, and ho has the chance of his life to distinguish himself. This Is Ills last game for Pennsylvania, and If ho goes Into It. with tho proverbial do or die spirit ho will make a namo for him self, ' The coaches nre uncertain In their own minds whether to use Merrell or Murdock al quarterback. Each of these men has qualities which commend him to tho coachos. Morrell has the advantago of being a known quantity, although ho doesn't measuro up to what tho coaches expect of him. AH of them hope and some think that Murdock, If given tho LOCAL'GOLFERS PLANING TRIP TO SOUTHLAND .Wintry Winds Drive Devo tees of the Links to Warmer Climes Pinehurst At tracts Many Philadelphians Tho Northeast exodus of golfers will eoon begin. Golfers In this city who plan to play In tho annual autumn tourna ment of tho Pinehurst Country Club, from December 2 to December E, have not long to arrange for tho Southern trip. Spencer D.

John J. McDermott, formerly of this, city, now professional of the Atlantic City Country Club, and Gil Nicholls, of the Wilmington Club, contemplate. a trip to the Pacific coast. Nlcolla' right knee Is still stiff as a result of an autompbIe accident. But. despite this fact, he Is still playing good. golf.

Morrell's strong point Is his Individual playing and his certainty In the handling of kicks. To Merrell's credit It must be said that he hns not lost a punt on Franklin Field this year. He did lose One In the Michigan game at Ann Arbor, but the sun was principally responsible for that. Murdock, too, has shown keen ability In handling kicks and In running them back has equaled Merrell. What Murdock needs to do to win his ptaco Is to show that ho possesses superior ability In selecting hli plays, particularly In meet ing new crises. Merrell has rather shown a lack of Initiative nnd quick Judgment all season. i(o follows too closely n prearranged plan of attack, and Is In clined to hold to It even when conditions change. Naturally, the coaches wish to select tho man who will do tho better work. It would seem to tho writer that if tho Individual skill of the two men Is equal tho wisest thing to do would bo to try Murdock, In tho hope that he will lead tho toam out of the wilderness. They aro certainly In n bad way now; they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, Tho Insurrection against a coaching sys tem that lost them tho Harvard and Yale games, nnd by which they managed to win several other games only by the skin of tholr teeth, has started at Princeton. There -were murmurlngs after the loss of the Harvard game, and In spite of tho brilliant rally against Yalo In tho final quarter the Tiger undergraduates nre not satisfied. They don't think tho coaches made anything llko tho best uso of their material. And they, wnnt a change. Ono suggestion Is that Keene Fltzpat rlck, trainer of fho team" and coach of tho track team, bo made head coach of tho footbult team. This Is the most rad ical kind of a suggestion, and Is not likely to meet with much favor among tho old football players; but there Is plenty of reason for suggesting Fltzpat rlck It a now coach Is needed, for Fltz patrlck knows Ofootbal from the rudi ments up.

The up town"" quintet Is one game behind Cam den In the number played, hence a de feat at the hands of the Alpha men will mean that Jasper goes down the laddor to a tlo with DoNerl for second place.

Tonight's game will be a battle between the guardo of Jasper and "Jackie" Adams, tho won derful little left-handed goal tosser of tho Cnmden team. "Jackie" has been watched closely all this season and It It rather raro for him to make any great number of field goals now. However, with the opposing guards watching and fol lowing him so closely, Adams helps his teammates with clenn assists and the team plays Just as strong a game with him practically useless as far aa goal shooting Is concerned, as though he wero caging tho ball from all angles.

Scholastic and Academic Football Contests Hold Centre of -1 Stage Penn Charter Plays Germantown Academy. ' '$ Teams Old Rivals Other Games Scheduled. t . Tho second big Intersoholastlo gania of the three-cornered scries to decide the winner of the Ellis Qlnibel Cup will be played tomorrow, when Central High nnd "West Philadelphia High meet on the grid Iron at the P. U. It. Y. M. C. A. grounds, at 1UI1 street and Parkslde avenue. This contest should draw a crowd of more than 6000. Including many ntumnac, as well as the schoolboys themselves. Odds favor Central High, but a closer contest than the Northeast High-West Philadel phia game should result, ns Central has by no means tho perfected array tho Archives are putting on the field. Another contest tomorrow that will at tract a lot of Interest Is tho Penn Char-ter-Germantown Academy game, at Queen Lane. These teams are rivals of long standing and always put up a brand of football that Is of first-class order. Bovoral other scholastic and academic contests will also bo played tomorrow, among them being the Episcopal Acad emy and Friends' Central match. Lower Merlon clashes with Itadnor High, and this should also prove an interesting game. About the tlmo of Central High's de feat at the hands of Atlantic City tho team was reported to have struck a slump, and recent practices seem to bear out tho opinion. Injuries to Captain Stephens nnd Fullback Butler have no tably Impaired the playing of theso two mainstays, whllo the team haa become somewhat lax on the defense. Most diffi culty seems to be encountered broaklng up forward passes, which may provo dis astrous In the Northeast game. The ends are easily enticed to rush In and the sec ondary defenso Is slow to size Up the na ture and direction of the play. The tackling has also been uncertain, but Coach Howell expects to overcomo this falling by continuous practice this week. The smashing backflcld and tho heavy line, however, will prove difficult for West Philadelphia to combat. Captain Stephens PERSONAL TOUCHES IN SPORTS Harvard' eleven Is first In line for the col legiate football championship this season. If the Cambridge representatives conquer Talo the matter will be settled once and for all. Tho students of the game are unanimously of tlu opinion that Harvard will win tho 10M laurels. Harvard's team has been proved to be a most remarkable one. Not only will New Haven be the scene ot ths Harvard-Vale football game Saturday, but an other Interesting Athletic event Is scheduled. It Is the annual Intercollegiate cross-country race. Unless thero la a most sensational upsot, the Cornell University squad should romp sway not only with tho first Individual place, but the team honors as well. The Ithacans appear to have the most remarkably balanced distance team In the history or th Institution, rotter and Wlndnagle will probably light It out for flrat place, and It would not greatly surprise to see the pack mako a perfect team score aa It has done twice this year. Pennsylvania ap pears to havo an excellent opportunity of land ing tho eecond team honors. If the locals show the speed expected of them tho squad' score should be a lalrly good one.
