There Is no longer any doubt that Ted"
Merrill has the inside track FOR the quar-
tarback position on the Pennsylvania
eleven. In yesterday afternoons practice
he played this position most OF the time.
and his work was a continuation Of what
he did on Saturday against Gettysburg.
Merrill is about the only member of the
back field who possesses a change of pace
and who can straight-arm taCklers Like
wise, he catches punts with some Cer-
tainty. Merrill's running in the open field
is very much like that of Miller. the for
mer Penn State quarterback. Adding
a little confidence to Merrill is making
