PENN INCLUDED ON CRIMSON'S 1939, '40 GRIDIRON SCHEDULE

First of a two game home and home series between Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania will be played on Soldiers Field in 1939, and the second game at Franklin Field, Philadelphia in 1940, it was learned yesterday from the H.A.A.

The action of the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports in approving the Pennsylvania game, leaves only Columbia, of the seven teams included in the Ivy League proposed by the undergraduate newspapers, absent from the Harvard schedule.

The 1939 schedule will include games with Chicago, Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale, and Cornell, as well as Penn, so that if the proposed League were in operation by that time, Harvard would be playing five League games, or as many as a member would be expected to play.

Penn and the Crimson last met in 1928, with the Quakers winning in Cambridge, 7-0. The year previous to that Penn also won, 24-0 at Franklin Field.

Final dates for the 1939 and 1940 encounters were also set yesterday by the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports. The 1939 Harvard-Penn game will be played here October 21, and the following year the Crimson Quaker clash will be in Philadelphia on November 9, the Saturday following election day.
