The Pennsylvania varsity squad turned

the course of which Saturdays contest

Head Coach Brooke made the following
statement in regard 10 the showing of the
team: The most pronounced weakness
of the team was lack of interference.

Cridiron News
F ootball Players Enter Upon
Another Hard Week of
Training in Preparation for
Big Games Next Saturday.
BY EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

BY EDWARD r. BUSHNELL
Whether or not Pennsylvania will have
football team of championship proper
tons OF one Of only mediocre strength
was not disclosed by Saturdays game
against Gettysburg That 40 victory was
won by comfortable margin, and pretty
accurately gauges the comparative
strength of the two teams At the same
time whom we remember the defenseless-
ness of Gettysburg last year and the
smashing victory which the Quakers won
then by tho score of $50, two facts stand
forth with great cearness. One is that
this years Gettysburg team knew more
football than its predecessor ana likewise
that it displayed better fighting quail
ity. second fact not to be overlooked
Is that this years Quaker team Is not
nearly so far advanced in its attacking
power as was the 1918 eleven in it's first
game.
Virtually all of the faults evident in the
work of the Red and Blue were due to
lack of practice. an entirely new back
field and lack of unity between the back
field and the line. These weaknesses
were to be expected and won't cause the
coaches undue alarm. In fact a 40
score for the first game is much more
desirable than one of $50 proportions.
Nothing retards the progress Of team
more than overcon7denCe, and big pre-
liminary scores Invariably contribute TO
that The Quakers still have plenty of
time to get in shape for their big games,
and the schedule has been so graduated
that each Saturday brings a tougher OPP

veterans had been kept in the game they
could probably have scored nearly 100
points. At is was, nearly three elevens
got into the play. The most conspicu-
Gus feature of the work done by the
new men was the feat of Mcklnlock,
substitute quarterback. in scoring a
field goal from the +0-yard line. Now
Harvard in addition to the Incompatible
drop -kickers, Brickley and Mahan, has
found a third such kicker.
Yale made good the prediction of Frank
Hlnkey, the new coach, and displayed
lot of open-feld work. which fairly
dazzled the Maine eleven. Maine held
Yale to a 90 score last year. so this
easy victory may be taken to indicate
that football will enjoy new era at
New Haven this fall. Princeton found
Rutgers tough antagonist. and had Just
about enough superior strength to win by
the score of - to 0. Like Yale, Princeton
showed considerable proficiency in the
operation of the forward pass.
