BY EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

Pennsylvania's football team will have
chance to redeem itself tomorrow, and
the coaches to man think that the
team which lines up against Lafayette
will be 80 per cent stronger in football
knowledge and fighting spirit than that
which went down before Franklin and
Marshall last week. This will undoubt-
edly be true if the men play against the
Eastonians with the snap and certainty
they have been showing for the last three
days.
The coaches seem to have gotten the
men aroused. The result is that the
| backfield men in particular have been
speeded up % per cent, and If the in
reference is as good in the Lafayette
| game as 1t has been in practice the
| Quaker supporters will be treated to at
least better brand of football than
| they have seen this year.
This game will give the spectators their
| first view of Tucker playing the fulback
position. The use to which Tucker is
being put is the ideal way to handle
fullback Tucker is what might be called
combination man. That is, he can
punt, he can forward pass, he can buck
the line and he can run the ends. When
he goes back the opposition won't know
whether he Is going to punt, forward |
pass or run from the false kick forma-
ton. This uncertainty makes him all |
the more valuable Not since Bill Hol- |
lenbach has Pennsylvania had a man |
who could do all these things.

Hawiey's sensational escape from
the moving train at Green River is no
reflection upon the diligence Of the
parole officer. HawIey was handcuff-
ed when he entered the toilet. and It
certainly must have taken superhu-
man effort for him to accomplish his
escape He had gone 10 the toilet
several times during the day and eve
ming and acted like n model prisoner
all OF the time. He was handcuffed
to Long when he made his request TO
10 to the toilet. Tippin released him
from Long and handcuffed both Of his
hands together and went with him to
the toilet leaving the door partly open
Then Tippin turned TO fasten Ions
more securely.
While thus occupied Hawiey slam
med the door shut. ripped the soap
holder from the car wall. pried the
window open and ieaped through
feet foremost The train Was going
about twenty miles an hour He
rolled down n steep embankment and
before the train could be stopped he
was gone.
Posses are after him and II Ia ex-
pected that he will be re-captured in
a short time.
