PENNSYLVANIA ELEVEN WILL
HAVE FINE COACH IN GEORGE
BROOKE OF .SWARTHMORE-
MIKE MURPHY MISSED AS
TRAINER.
BY Alert Journeay,

BY Alert Journey,
Guard of Pennsylvania Varsity Eleven
When the Pennsylvania football
team begins practice on Franklin
Field Sept. 10 they will be in the
hands of an entire set OF new coaches.
George Brooke. captain Of the 's4
team and all-American %halfback. will
be head coach. Brooke is known as
n of the greatest strategists Of the
game, and has proved his ability as
a coach by developing teams Of the
first order at Swarthmore.
Gus Ziegler, former All-American
guard and coach Of Mercersburg and
Exeter. and 81 Pauxtis. former coach
of Dickinson, will have charge Of the
linesmen and ends.
One of the biggest problems that
the Quakers will have to face will be
thai of acquiring a successor to Mike
Murphy. the peerless trainer and Idol
Of ali PENNSYLVANIA men,. Murphy
will be sadly missed. as he knew more
about football than most coaches, and,
what 10 more important. could instil
in players his own famous fighting
spirit. 1t IL probable that the football
will engage a professional
trainer rather than a physician, al
has been suggested. The latter ex-
pertinent was tried last fall, but did
not work out successfully.
Brooke Will start the season with
the best line material that Penn has
backs. The only regulars available
for the backneld are Chef Minds and
Dick Marshall, the hero of the Michi-
gan game. Both Of these men are
above the average. Marshall is an
dropkicker and his speed
makes him an effective end runner.
Minds is heavy enough for line plung-
ing and fast enough to skirt the
wings: He is a daring player. a good
