to Teach Candidates HO,U
to Sprint

Penn football precedents are being
wrecked in these war days. For the
first time in history scrimmage will be
held on the third day of practice when
Bob Folwell. sends his candidates
through a short battle on Franklin Field
this afternoon.
The red and blue ,utor has ordered
his men to appear in toys ready for
practice at ESQ and the scrimmage is
due to begin at $3.50. With the opening
game of the season. that with Franklin
and Marshall. only a week off. Folwell is
anxious to get his players hardened.
Lawson Robertson will be II big fac
tor in the drilling today. Some more
new stuff will he handed out by the
former Irish-Amoriyan tutor for he in
tends to teach the footballrrs how to
run. Everyone thinks he can run in
his own estimation. but not in Robert
sons. The big idea will be to get off
to a dying start and few are as well
qualified to teach as the Penn trainer.
Not so many years ago Robertson
was one Of the best sprinters i'm the
country. He was on two Olympic teams.
1t is his belief that the football team
tina knows how to run has the hop on
the opposition from the first whistle.
If Robertson can show slow-footed line
men how to sprint and develop greater
peed on the part of the backs, he will
re a great aid in turning out a winner
For the QuakerS.
The squad now numbers close to sixty,
and more are expected every day. The
