PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.--A month
ago IL was feared that Pennsylvania .
backfield would be lamentably weak.
Since that time, a number OF young
sters have shown surprising ability,
and the Quaker attacking machine Is
now one OF the finest In the country.
II Is especially strong because OF the
versatility Of the men. There Is no
one line OF attack to which any one
OF the backs Is confined. They all
can run with the ball. and either hi J
or gather In forward passes. Moffett
Is the weakest brother Of the quartet
In the passing game. but even he Is
showing sufficient form to permit
mixing him up In a heaving play with
more than a. little certainty Of sue
cess.
The real star Of Pennsy,s backfield
is Tucker. who has come to the front
with rush In the past month. and
promises to give Maulbetsch Q lot
more line plunging competition than
he had at Harvard. Tucker was an
unknown until the Navy and Swarth-
more games, but his work on those
occasions stamped him a. one Of the
greatest backs In the country.
He is also very strong In the kick
ing game. and has not yet met his
equal as a punter. On defense he In
equally good. and has a number OF
25 and 30-yard gains to his open field
running credit. Last Saturday Tuck
er made q 95-yard run for touch
down from the kick-off.
vreeland Is another sensational
unknown" He was not even consid-
cred for a position until three weeks
ago, when his sudden leap into the
limelight landed him q regular berth.
He Is good on defense and very pow
erful In the attack. Moffett In the
strong man Of the aggregation. and
won his place by his line bucking
and defensive strength. Tucker viii
probably play full. with vreeland and
MofIett at the halves In the Michigan
game.

last year, and yet who II considered

He has improved 800 per, cent this
fall, and has shown exceptional abil-
ity in picking weak points In the en-
emy's defense.

BROWNS FINISH
GIVES HIM DRAW
By HAROLD '. WILCOX.

After battling his way to margin
that at the end OF the seventh would
have given him the decision. Patsy
Drouillard ran against q whirlwind
finish by Pal Brown last night that
brought the scrap back to even terms
and draw.
The wind-up at Windsor was all
that II promised to be. Contrary to
something the second the lightweights
toed the scratch. leading with a wick.
ed jab with his right. Drouillard at
once accepted the challenge, and the
old foes gave an exhibition of some
OF the fastest milling in the history
Of the Windsor arena.
Patsy delighted his hackers with
his early work. getting clean mar
gin In the second and third rounds
that looked good for q victory. But
Pal refused to be worried, and after
the seventh, when Drouillard had In
creased his edge shade. the Hib-
bling lad came back with series Of
wallops that hurt The Frenchman
took his medicine like q man. how
ever. and was lighting hard when the
gong changed.
1t was one OF those scraps that
should have gone another round or
two to determine the real merits Of
the two fighters. Brown Is better
boy than when he appeared here last,
and Drouillard showed great improve
ment under the recent tutelege Of
Johnny whitaker. Either will prove
popular enough to warrant return
engagement across the river within
a few months. The arena was well
filed with an enthusiastic crowd OF
