  rous sport since the tournaments OF chivalry. II is capable Of more intense surprises than any other game presents, as, for instance the surprise at Atlanta on Saturday. A 41–⁠0 score reminds us OF Penn games OF old, when the Red and Blue used TO wipe up Franklin Field with elevens from small colleges. But all the marching through Georgia was done by Georgia Tech on Saturday, and the visit ing northerners suffered as great hui initiation as small team ever gave big” one But while that was bad for Penn, It was good for the game. II shows how superior the new rules for football are to the old ones, under which teams from numerically large colleges always won, simply because the rules helped mere weight to win, and a big college had a better chance than a small institution Of getting eleven giants. Skill, quick thinking and agility are the whole show now, and that again is appropriate TO wartimes.
