game OF the season, ner opponents be-
ing the University OF Pennsylvania.
Last year the Quaker eleven played here
in Providence, and the score was C-6.
The game was practically a victory for
the home college, and the score was an
humiliating shock to Pennsylvania, who
two years ago. ran up total OF ~ points

For this reason, comes the report from
Philadelphia, Capt. Hare's team this al
ternoon will go into the game with not
one substitute. and with the avowed de-
termination OF evening up matters from
last year. Ii lis an acknowledged fact
that the Quakers are one hundred per

about the talk from the south. and they
know Just what TO expect. They have

their practice especially for this game
They have worked on the different plays

Browns defensive work has also been
planned carefully for this game. For the
past week Coach Robinson has been
making the second eleven. In their at
tacks on the first, use nothing but those
plays which are peculiar TO Pennsylva-
MIA. The guards back play has been
sent against the centre so often that
both Melendy and Whittemore know just
where to meet IL and Just how to break
Il up.
The defences against the other Quaker
plays have been so well calculated that
each man knows just what he Is expect
ed to do, and Il will be only after the
hardest kind OF work that Hare's team
will cross the Brunonian line.
Reports from Philadelphia say that

The men were sent 20 the dressing room
early and. at about : O'Clock they left
the middle campus for the Providence
Steamboat company's dock. The team
was escorted down the Mill by two or
three hundred enthusiastic undergradu-
ates, accompanied by the usual yelling,
jumping and burning or red fire
At the dock the crowd punched up
and yelled for the team and for each in
dividual player. SO II IS evident that tho
enthusiasm OF the players is at the top
notch, and they will go into the game
today with just much fierce deter
mination as is apparent in the Philadel-
phians.
The game will be started at $3.50, and
the bulletin boards in this city will post
