guards face each other as follows: Hobson,

Robinson, Pennsylvania, VS.. Burr Harvai d.

but none too reliable on defense. If he
mas anything on Hohson that fact is Off
set by the fact that Robinson. Pennsyl-
Vania s other guard, has done better all
around work than Burr, Harvards fresh
man guard.
If Parker plays one of the guard positions
for Harvard 1t will mean additional
strength in the Harvard line. II Parker
plays center there will be a sharper tussle
between the opposing pivots than II White
plays. Either Parker or White outweighs
Horrey of Pennsylvania considerably with
Parker the more aggressive OF the two.
Torrey is a heady. active player and very
strong on defense. Levine and Scariett are
the Pennsylvania ends with Macdonald and
Leary guarding the flanks for Harvard
The Quaker ends certainy have none the
worst of 1t on past performances. As
Pennsylvania kicking game Is strong they
have had considerable practice in protect
ing the kicking and are fast men down the
field and good tacklers. Macdonald has
played more consistently than any other
Harvard end candidate, though he has yet
to show high class. Leary is fast, rangy,
disposed to oyerrun his man, bat hard
tackler once he gets hold. He is as likely
as not to play a star game today.
Stevenson, Pennsylvania quarterback.
and Starr, Harvard's quarterback, are
nf
at picking out plays and infusing ginger
into their men. Also each runs back punts
well, but Stevenson is the better man OF
the two in this accomplishment and more
dangerous in a broken field He is the
speediest quarterback in the e,Lst and
works the quarterback run in telling
fashion.
Sheble, Greene and Foiwell make a strong
defensive back field for Pennsylvania, and
Sheble Is a better punter than anybody on
the Harvard team. Capt Hurley of Har-
ward is a star both on ofrense and defense
when he is on edge. He takes openings
well and keeps going well. Foster and
lockwood, the other Harvard backs are
big strong fellows, the former inclined--to
tive newcomer, but his work in practice
this week has earned him the place of full
back, Carr and Guild being incapacita ted
by injuries. If he comes up TO the standard
set by Guild last Saturday there will be
no cause for complaint.
Yale Had Light Work.
The Yale foot ball coaches let up on the
varsity nien yesterday afternoon at Yale
Field and gave them only light practice
in preparation for the Brown game today
The main practice OF the varsity consisted
Of breaking through the second teams line
to block kicks. The varsity players show
ed considerable speed In this, Forbes and
Roome landing on the kicks several times.
Capt. Shevlfn, Tripp, Hockenberger and
bad sho,Sider Is keepink him quiet and the
others spent the time trotting around the
field to keep In lighting trim. The coaches
concluddA not to run any chances OF their
getting stale from oyerwork. The coaches
