old Yale centre. But Rutgers also had
good material. and since Sanford is at
New Brunswick once more Rutgers will
be disappointed not to hold Princeton to
a close score again.
Dartmouth found the Massachusetts
Agricultural College an unusually active
antagonist last year ana was able to
win ny n score of only l3 to 3, Dart
mouth opens with the same eleven on
Saturday and the wearers of the Green
hope TO roll up more respectable score.
They ought to do it, too, because their
wonderful backtield of last year is in
tact and they have had the advantage
OF more than three weeks of practice.
Because of the prominent place Dart
mouth holds on Pennsylvania schedule
this year the Quakers will witch their
work with great deal of interest. Dart
mouth has the same coach this year,
Frank Cavanaugh the old end, a man
DR., Carl Williams pronounces to be one
OF the best in the country.
The game on Franklin Field will be
the first of the season, not only for
PENNSYLVANIA, but for Gettysburg as well.
Last year Penn beat the men from the
famous battlefield by the score of 80
to 0, There will be a goodly number Of
experiments in the Quaker eleven this
year, and for that reason II need not
be expected that Saturdays score will
equal the 1918 figures. Gettysburg has
the same coach as last year, the man
in charge being Mauthe, the old Penn
state fullbaCk. If Mauthe has the ma
terial and can develop it to play as We'll
as lie played himself -ltysburg would
ha
the best fullbacks that eyer stepped on

There will be a lot of speculation all
this week to learn what mon Head Coach
Brooke will pick for his initial lineup.
Probably Brooke himself won't know un-
til the day before the game. The sitting
process is still going on, and the merits
and demerits of every player are being
carefully analyzed, not only by Brooke,
but by his assistants. But the chances
are that the first eleven men 10 line up
for PENNSYLVANIA will be last years reg
ulars or substitutes as far as that is
possible There are some new men who
in practice promise to be much better
than the 1918 regulars hut for the most
part they viii not get into the fray until
the game is we'll under way,
The Quaker coaches have reason to feel
well pleased with the results of their
first weeks work for they have accom-
nIished moro than any one thought pos
sible i'm so short a time. Not only have
they taught the rudiments Of the game
fairly we'll 10 a big squad Of candidates
but they have carefully studied and tested
the merits Of all the men and sorted them
out until they have gotten all the can
didates working for the positions for
which they seem best fitted.
From tackle to tackle Pennsylvania has
available a line which will average close
n 200 pounds per man. As far as weight
and strength are concerned, the men re-
ferred IN are about all that could be de-
sired But these qualifications are only
about one-half Of what will he required
In addition to weight and strength, they
must display speed and football sense
Some OF the men who now look big
enough and strong enough to push a
house over may have To be discarded
yet for men weighing 81 or N pounds less
because modern football requires men of
speed and cleverness About all that can
he said of most Of this squad Of linemen
is that they are making progress II Is
lnlpossihle To be much more specific now
An odd situation exists as far as the
ends and backs are concerned The qual-
tiles necessary to play on the ends or I'm
the backheld are much the same. Ever
since the practice opened the coaches
have been In doubt concerning some OF
the men, whether they would be better
on the ends or In the back held At any
time they might be shifted back and
forth, and II Is to be hoped that when
these shifts are made they viii be made
with the same Intuition or luck as when
Roy Mercer first came out for football
When he arrived the coaches resolved 10
