DRAPER WON'T PLAY
FOOTBALL THIS YEAR

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.-Penn's
football prospects received a sad blow
yesterday when Head Coach sol"
Met2gar announced that Dexter Draper
had definitely stated that he would not
play football this fall. The loss of this
All-American tackle leaves an already
weakened line in a rather bad shape.
Draper is a senior in the medical school,
and owing to a few conditions and the
stiffness Of the last year, compelled him
to give mp football, in order to insure
his graduation in June. Although in
eligible until October 10, the coaches
were relying on him TO fill his old posi-
ton in the big game and his presence
would have been a tower OF strength
in the line. With Draper gone and
Galagher's return still uncertain, Penn's
line will be composed mostly of new
men. and unless some of the heavy men
can make good the line will be far in
ferior to the backheld.
