Tutoring y
TO REMODEL LINEUP
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

d DOBERT C. FOLwELL, Penn's off,
IN clal head coach, who has been con-
fined to his bed with influenza and
pneumonia, appeared on Franklin Field
yesterday afternoon for the first time in
more than month and 1t was an In
spring sight for the players to see their
old coach with familiar background.
Big Bob is not the physical giant of
yesterday, for his sickness has taken
from him the usual snap and show Of
power: hut. nevertheless. he Is looking
admirably well for man who has gone
through the spell Of illness that has been
his lot. Bob will continue to nav visits
TO Franklin Field as long as the weather
permits. but Bill Hollenback will re-
main as active head coach.
New Team for Lafayette
II will he a remodeled Penn eleven
that will face Lafayette on Saturday,
provided no cancellation orders are is
sued from Harrisburg. The Quaker ma
chine will undergo renovations this week
and the team that will oppose the Ma
room IN the annual clash probably will
be picked by Coach Hollenback tomor-
row.
The big Penn tutor has about made
up his mind as to the combination he
will start against the EastCnians, but
he wants to test the ability of his new
team in scrimmage game today before
he announces his lineup. There will
be changes in the line as we'll as the
bacifield
Hollenback has decided to give Craw-
ford chance at center and move Frank
to guard. Franks passing was a bit
eff color in the Swarthmore game. and
it is believed that he will fiji in, better
at guard. Frank is willing and earn
est youth and puts. everything he has
into the plays, but knows little about
the game.
Frank Moved TO Guard
In the early part of the season Hollen-
back was very much pleased with Franl,
as snapper-back. He played we'll on
the attack and equally as well on the
defense. However, he never has been
able to get over the habit of passing the
ball too low, although he has been maxi
ing perfect tosses in practices. The
| nervousness usually accompanying a
novice probably is responsible fer his
fault. He should show well at guard
| There is some talk at Franklin Field
about moving Fred Peters. the big end
| to halfback post. Peters is familiar
with the ways of the offensive quartet
| He played fullback with the Dickinson
High School, of Jersey City. Peters ha
| been doing such good work at end how
ever. that it Is scarcely likely that h,
will be switched especially in view of tn
scarcity of wingmen
Still Looking for Punter
The backfeld will have Georg
| (Shorty) Smith at the helm and Damn
McNichol at fullback The halves prob
ably will be Rosneau Snd Braun. Rose
nau did the punting 1~ainst Swarthmor
and was outkicked with every exchange
but most of the time he was bootin
against strong wind He and Brau
are the best punters Hollenback has an
neither of them Is exceptional. Harve
also will be given a chance.
In these wartimes when football ma
terial is scarce and inferior a goo
punter is the weight which balances
fair team toward success. A fair tear
without a good punter is apt to be con
sidered a poor team by the time the sea
son ends. All efforts will be bent tu
ward developing good punter at Frank
lin Ficld.
