From every appearance. Pennsylvania
: has the better OF Columbia in the argument as
TO relative strength of the two teams in to-
days struggle on Franklin Field. The
ouakers outweigh the local collegians and are
taller than anduuite as Old as Morley's charges.
Tbe figures OF the probable makeup of the two
elevens show that Pennsylvania has an aver
age or 1872 pounds. while Columbia has only
1903. The local players average feet TO-.
, inches in height while the wearers Of the Red
ana Blue are only half an inch shorter than
feet The age is about the same, each team
averaging 22I, years. From these hg-
ures il will be seen that so far as beef counts
Columbia is n poor second The individual
capabilities of the men, however, are not so
widely diverse.
Pennsylvania's ends, Drake and Hollcn-
back or Sinkler are as good wing men as
any team in the country possesses. Drake Is a
big man. weighing rs pounds and being feet
10 inches tall He is as fast any end in
the country. Sinkler is very good and it is
a toss-up whether he or }. Hollenbsck will
play this afternoon Zach is about 5 feet

Post and Muir Time and again this season
has Post been boKed out of the plays, and
even now he is inferior to Muir, who in turn
IL not as good az Drake.
The tackles are a stand-off Thorp of
Columbia is one OF the best tackles in the
g country, and Brown, while not snowy
player, is dependable. Thorp is the only
man IN the Columbia team who outweighs

Lamson of Pennsylvania has made a repu-
tatfop as right tackle this season and is only
u little inferior to Thorn. He weighs six
pounds more than Duncan Brown, whom

Pennsylvania has two experienced guards,
who, although veteran players, have done
nothing remarkable. Piekarski has played
for several years and is a capable man. He
will be pitted against Stangland. who
scales two pounds lighter than the Quaker.
