the call on the line plunging style, how
ever.

who has played against him twice and
who, though lighter, is sbiftier and fast
er getting down the field. Both pass
the ball well and are strong on defen-
sive work.
Andy Marshall. Harvard's right guard
will be opposed to PiekarSEd and the
struggle should be fierce one. Both
are Veterans and of nearly equal weight
Marshall had hardly played up to his
best form this season and the Penn
guard has improved steadily, but it will
be nip and tuck between them.
Kane, the Penn right guard who will
oppose either Shea or Robinson. is a
hard, working player of only mediocre
ability, but he will find men of no
greater ability against him in either of
Aarvard's men.
In Knowlton Harvard has one of the
greatest tackles playing the game, not
excepting Yale's stars, Hogan and Kin
ney. Opposed to him will be Butkie-
WITT, a Penn freshman, and KnOWlton
should prove vastly more useful to his
team than the Quaker. Knowlton is a
powerful man. uses his head in playing
his game, is strong on defense and is the
best line plunger on the Cambridge
eleven.
At the other tackle position Ziegler
will possibly be the superior of Har-
wards man, Parkinson, though the lat
ter has played a fine game this fall.
But Ziegler, though also in his fresh
man year, is not only expected to be
Parkinson's equal on defensive work but
he is the strongest man for the Red and
Blue on offensive work.
The end positions are divided between
the teams-Harvard outclasses Penn on
one side. while the Quakers have the
advantage at the other. Weede will be
against Bowditch, veteran who has
no superior sat that position in the game.
The only men regarded as in his class
are Davis of Princeton and Shevlin of
Yale Weede can follow the ball as
closely as Bowditch but the latter has
the superiority in weight and expert
enee that will tell in a hard, close game.
Strictly as an end Captain Metzgar
should outclass Lemoyne at the other
end of the line, and give Penn the adj
vantage there, for Metzgar is a veteran
and is rapidly rounding into his best
form. Lemoyne is heavier and nearly
as fast, but he cannot be expected to
hold Metzgar. Lemoyne'S greatest
value to Harvard is his punting ability,
and this may cut a great figure in the
game, for Penn is known as weak in
catching punts and running them back
and the Crimson might gain consider
able territory on each exchange.
Carl Marshall, captain of the Crimson
/ team, Is recognized as one OF the clever
est field generals playing the game and
at quarterback should prove the super
4 Tor of Corson, PENIS signal giver. Cor
I son is the equal of Marshall physically
| but the latter has the experience. Cor
son is not so sure an open field tackler
nor can he handle punts like the Har-
ward captain, who is one of the best in
the east at running them back.
Bennett and Smith are far superior
to Harvard's back for a line plungine
game, and Drake is the equal of any
Crimson man at this style. Drake is
also a fast man on end runs and plays
off tackle, but in this kind of a due
Nichols would discount the Penn man
for he has shown himself proba bly the
best dodger and feetest runner playing

/ Schoelkopf are Harvard's line buckers
but they do not compare with Smith
