Penn to Have Many
Good Players Left

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5-Looking
ahead to next years football season,
critics agree that Pennsylvania should
have powerful eleven. But then It
was thought that this years team
would be very successful. Even with
Sommers. Cozens, Ramsdell. Marks
and others graduating it was conf
IDENTIFY predicted that this years team
would be a world-beater. 1t was not
foreseen that Barry, King, and Nilsson
would all be lost or that Hutchinson
would not return to college. Rogers
who was classed as the best Iineman in
the university. also fell victim to the
professors. -
---of- this years team. those who are
sure to@Ae. lost are Kennedy, Thayer,
Morris, Wofer*s-xan Findeison, while
Crawford and Keoyh may go. How
ever, If those who remain can keep
up in their studies next years eleven,
should be the best in years. OF the
varsity squad Captain Mercer, Har-
rinSton, Barr, Minds, Marshall, Chan

again be In harness. while Of the line.
Bell. Dillon, Green, Nolan, Kelleher.

Blue and Gray lads will have strong
backing in the opening game of the
1911-12 campaign.
Not till the last moment will Captain
Strickland know whether he can use
his star forward, Sheurholtz, against
the Hilltoppers, but he is working every
wire to have him for this first battle OF
the season. Sheurholtz is rlhked as
one Of the greatest basketball players

and Gray.
This crack player has been barred by
tho A. A. u, but the management OF
the Medical School five has been MAX
ing strenuous efforts to have the ban
removed so that he may play this sea
son. Last year the Georgetown play
ers were suspended for thirty DAYS for
playing against Sheurholtz and he will
not appear on the floor tomorrow eyen-
ing unless his record has been cleared.
baltimore will have three of last sea
son players with the five, Lapham,
center: Daley, forward, and Captain
Strickland, guard. The visitors ranked
in 1910 as one Of the strongest teams
In this part of the country, defeating
both Swarthmore and Pennsylvania and
breaking even with Georgetown in two
games. The Hilltoppers won the game
played here after four extra periods of
play by score of rs to a.
The exact lineup of Georgetown Is
not known. 1t Is very likely that two
full-line-ups viii be seen on the floor

showing good form lately and may start
at forward with Captain Gibson,
Schlosser or Mccarthy are down for

Accident.

sCRANTON. Pa, Dec. 5.-Hugh Jen-

To-Day that he was able to entertain Wis
tors In his room in the State Hospital,
and DR.. d. A. Webb states that he is
entirely out OF danger. He slept sound
ly last night, and when he awoke this
morning his mind was as clear as the
day he graduated from the Cornell Law
School.
During the day the Tigers chieftain
read the newspapers and discussed the
accident with his brother. w. A. Jen-
nings, and other callers.
That Jennings can owe his recovery
to his strong constitution is shown by
the continued seriousness OF the condi-
tlon OF his fellow-victim, the Rev.
Peter J. Lynett, of OPT Jervis. The
priest is by no means out of danger, the
physicians fearing an attack of pneu-
monia. He was no better today.
The two were in the front seat of the
automobile when II crashed through the
guard rail of the bridge near Goulds-
boro last Friday night and landed in a
creek six feet below.
During the winter Hughey keeps him
self In condition by playing handbal

regret is that he will be compelled to
forego this exercise until his fractured
