THREEF|NE TEAMS
IN KEYSTONE STATE
Penn State, Pennsylvania
and Pittsburgh Loom Up
With Strong Teams.
BY HI. c. BYRD.

| Three Pennsylvania elevens are
pretty certain to be among the
strongest of the year, according to a
man who has watched all three squads
In action. Pittsburgh. Penn State and
University of Pennsylvania all have
ane aggregations Of players. material
being abundant for every position.
Preliminary games have been won by
these teams by big margins and in
| such way as to cause general belief
that the contests in which the trio
| meet Will develop some of the most
| sensational foot ball Of the season.
Fenn state has back probably the
most seasoned material that 1t has
ever placed on the gridiron. Besides
tne members OF its teams Of 1917 and
1918 It has back two seasoned stars
OF 1915. Beck and Higgins. brilliant
back and end, are in the line-up, and
Berryman also Is said to be available.
Robb. captain and star halfback in
1917. also Is on the team.
At pennsylvania q veteran lot Of
players are working under Bob Fol-
well. Players from as far back as
every real star since 1915 is out for
the team. except, of course. those that
nave graduated. Among these are
Derr, Light, Miller. Strauss and Wray.
Pittsburgh probably will possess the
greatest backfeld in foot ball this
year. De Hart, Hastings. Morrow and
Davies form an almost unsurpassable
combination. Hastings and De Hart
have been playing Army foot ball, and
last 1a!l De Hart was named as one
Of the backs on the All-Service team.

the West Virginia Wesleyan eleven.
Coach Exendine IL trying to work
out the best possible combination of
players to send against the West Vfr-
Kinians, but is having difficulty be-
cause Of slight injuries to some of
those depended upon to hold down
regular positions. Exendine probably
will not decide just what line-up he
will use until Friday.
Maryland States men, who went
through the game with Swarthmore
last week, did little Monday and yes
terday. While nobody was injured
to any extent. several had bruises
which might have developed into
more serious complications II aggra-
waited. While the men who started
aEainst 6warthmore were more or less
idle, the second -string players scrim-
mayed for twenty minutes against the
freshman team.
Gallaudet and Catholic University
are putting their men through hard
drills this week in preparation for
their opening games Saturday. Neither
