Browns remarkably good showing
ngainst the University of Pennsylvania
Saturday was pleasing surprise. and
puts at rest for once and all. stories of
Browns reputed weakness.g
There Is no question that the eleven
were I'm sore straits. at both end and CEN
tre and that the men who filled these po-
sitions were not varsity timber. but the
advent OF Archie slocum and Sebastopol
Wheeler more than filled these gaps, and
proved in the second half OF the Penn
contest. that with these men in the game
Browns defence is equal II not superior TO
that of any team that ever wore the
brown and white.
1t was rumored all along that new
man would be seen at centre In this game.
and that Wheeler whose grit and sand Is
only equaled by his great strength, was
the one chosen caused a universal and
joyful surprise, and all are unanimous In
the opinion that he will more than fill the
big hole caused by Chesbros graduation.
Socum, whose last years work is so
ewell and favorably known, played great
ing into shape. Tim Sheehan, Browns
greatest tackle, Notwithstanding a sore
ankle. was tower OF strength and push
ed Zimmerman. Pennsy's giant tackles all
over the lot, while Keene, although lit
tie inexperienced, played whirlwind
game. and bids fair TO equal his famous
partner
Whlttemore and Melendy were verita-
BILE stone walls at guard, and even the
grea9 plunging OF Hare and Mccracken
failed 10 make an impression on them. The
back field played fast but were unable 10
make much headway against Penn's
strong defence. This contest shows
Browns great strength and establishes
her as a foe worthy OF Princeton and
Harvard's utmost attention. Unquestion-
ably Penn has the strongest eleven in
years. and while Brown did not score as
they did last year, which score by the
way was made on a fuke, they kept
Pennsylvania from making n touchdown
in the second half and allowed her TO run
up only six more points than were made
by the Quakers last fall
Penn is rightly a member OF the big
four this year and not mediocre second
class eleven as she has been the past two
seasons. and TO hold them down TO IL
points is really creditable showing.
