CHARLEY HENNING TO PLAY
AGAINST PITT ON SATURDAY

CHARLEY HENNING. Penn's big guard
~ who was operated upon for appendicitis
on September 90. will start the game
against Pittsburgh, This was announced by
Coach Folwell this morning.
Yesterday II was known that the star
lineman was pronounced physically ut by
the team physician, Doctor Carnett, but II
was thought unlikely that he would be per-
mitted to play. At best II was believed that
Henning would not see active service un-
I'll the day OF the Dartmouth game.
II will be recalled that Brickley who
was stricken early in the season. did not
play until the final game Of the year with
Harvard, and then he went In for only
a few minutes. His part was veny light,
merely aiding in carrying out couple of
trick plays from kick formations. II was
more for sentimental reasons than for the
real need OF Brickley.
Henning recovered rapidly from the oper-
alton and in less than two weeks was able
to walk A few days later he was on the
fieid and for more than a week he has been
out In football togs. He has shown up so
well in practice that Folwel was anxious
20 give him a chance. The moment Doctor
Carnett pronounced him ready for action
Coach Folwell said he could face the
Panthers.

To dgress a moment. Il might be men,

team is well supported. In the FIRST place.
the players are all high salaried men Then
besides the rental OF the armory. not only
the cage but all of the seats around the
playing floor have TO be taken down and
put up each week, because the floor is often
rented for various social and semisocal
functions except on Wednesday nights. when
owners OF the Camden team are not trying
TO make money out OF the game. They
realize that as n business proposition II Is
not worth the time they put into Il. But
they are willing to sacrifice their time and
their energy and all they ask is to break
even. No fairer sporting proposition than
that could be asked. Consequently all bas-
kctball bugs should wish Camden a success

another club to win one or both of the PEN
nants.

WATERBURY BEATEN AGAIN
Brass City Bowlers, Like Jeffries and the Brooklyn Robins, Fail in Their Attempt to Come Back.

One of the most exciting bowling matches ever held in this city, was staged at the Aetna Alleys last eve- ming. when the Brass City quintet, eager to retrieve themselves for a de- feat administered by the locals earlier in the season, jOurneyed to this city and after some of the classiest bowl ing seen for many moons, they were forced to return to the home of the prospective Heutenant-governor and sadly inform their friends that their attempt at come back was frultless. Knowing full well the ability of the visitors, Manager Rogers selected the best that the city offers in the bowling world, with FoOte, Larson, LantOne, Anderson and Rogers as the Hard ware City representatives. The visi- tors started right off the reel to clean up and won the first game when Knapp hit the ducks for a 121 score, the total score of Waterbury's efforts being 515 while New Britain got but 4S2. Hitting nothing but the high spots in the second frame, the locals won a rather easy victory, Joe Foote, securing a 126 score. Both teams went at each other with a vengeance in the final frame, but with every body except Lantone securing a score of over a century, the hopes of the visitors were blasted and victory once more perched on the home team S throne Foote with a total score of 343 was honor man of the evening
