DEDUCTIONS FROM THE QUAKERS
DEFEAT BIZ THE INDIANS.

has been under way less than three weeks
there have been many surprises The most
important fact 80 far developed is that the
University OF Pennsylvania team has fallen
nway back in form and cannot be placed among
the topnotchers this year. The Ouakers hav-

were called together last month. Still since
practice at franklin Field was put under way

last ten days have convince1the football world
in general that unless Coach Woodruff can revo-
lutionize matters his eleven will stand little
chance against such formidable opponents az
the University Of Chicago and Harvard. Az
