QUAKER COACHES MORE HOPEFUL.

Philadelphia, Oct 17.-Six graduate coaches
drove the University Of Pennsylvania football
candidates through a hard two hours's practice
yesterday, and when the coaches came on the
field half an hour after sunset there were ex-
prcssions of satisfaction on their faces. The
varsity defense had been tried as it had never
been tried before, and it showed such decided
Improvement that hopes for the Brown game have
revived. 1t was the general belief at the Penn
sylvania training house last night that the
heavy Providence eleven will at least be held to
q tie score.

fensive with the scrubs using Brown formations
exclusively. For the first few minutes the scrubs
tore through the varsity line and around the ends
as If the big team were 80 much tissue paper.
Then there was a period Of the most strenuous
coaching that has been seen on Franklin field
this year, with satisfactory results for 1t was
rarely after that the scrubs could make any
Impression on the varsity defense. Brown has an
unusually heavy line and by playing variation
Of the Yale tackles back system 1s expected
to direct her attack largely against the Vuak'
ers' line.
Advantage was taken Of the secret practice
Yesterday to perfect the Quakers in the use or
several new plays to be tried against Brown.
They are distinct from anything Pennsylvania
has ever used BEFORE and If properly gotten on
are expected to prove good ground gamers
