in Final Battle

Continued From Page One
been enough power displayed to warn
the Red and Blue. Coach Speedy Rush
has a heavy line, an advantage on
wet field.
Jock Sutherland. the coach OF the
Lafayette team, expresses the opinion
that the Ithacan forwards will outplav
Penn from tackle to tackle. He is in
a position to Judge. for his Maroon
eleven lost TO Folwell's team and won
from Cornell.
Sutherland believes that Cornell has
one Of the best lines in the country. but
admits that the Rush eleven is weak on
the wings and in the backield
Captain Fritz Shiverick, the Speedv
Cornell quarterback, who is in line for
All American honors. is one of the host
open field runners in the country. but
the other three men are far from his
standard.
Coach Rush has been pointing his
eleven for Penn. Any time the Itha-
cans hand beating TO the Ouakers the
season is success. no matter how
many other games were lost.
The Cornell squad was at Atlantic
City yesterday and arrived here early
this morning. They went through a
secret drill on the Million Dollar Pier
Yesterday. and ii is said that they
showed considerable spirit aud fight.
Inc finishing touches were placed on
Penn on The golf links near Chestnut
Hill. The QuakerS also showed great
spirit. and although every one is more
than anxious to end the season with a
victory, there is sort of overcontidence
in the air. 1t is feared that the
Ouakers are discounting the ability of
Coach Rush and his pupils.
Several Penn Changes
The Penn coaching staff has decided
on. several changes in the line up that
win start the engagement, the most i'm
portant being the benching of Ben
Derr, the line cracking back. In his
place at front halfback will be Joe
Straus. the Texas youth. who PLAYED
such whale of game for the red and
blue two years ago.
Straus has been coming fast during
the last few weeks and it is thought
that he will be able to pierce the heavy
Cornell line There are few in the
country who can match him in line q,
plunging when he is right. Straus is
| thankful for the opportunity to show
that he has not gone back and will put
, everything he has into his playing.
Coach Folwell definitely announced
that he would start Bud Hopper at left
end instead Of Ray Miller. Hopper is
polished wingman and will be able to
take care of that side of the line
Johnny Titzel will have Maynard $
place at tackle. and Jim Neylon will
begin at right guard, a post that has
been filed by both Alex Wray and
Herb Deter.
NeyiOn to Start
NeElon was captain of the s. A. r. G.
eleven last season. and nt that time
/ proved himself to be one of the best
linemen playing collegiate football. He
was one of the three Penn players who
received his varsity letter for gridiron
work last season.
Lud Wray of course. will be the
center; Carl Thomas. left guard Lou
Little. right tackle. and Heine Miller.
right end, The backtied will be com
posed of Bell, Light, Drummer and
Strauss.
Eight of the eleven men who start
the. battle for the Quakers will play
their last. game for the Red and Blue
this afternoon. A whole flock of stars
will pass out of Penn football. for of
the warriors who begin today Hobey
Light. Captain Bell, Joe Straus. Heinie
| Miller. Lou Little. Johnny Titael, Jim
Neylon and Lud Wray will not return
next season
Last Game for Many
Added to the loss of these men will be
several from the substitutes. Thirteen
of the twenty five men sent to White =
marsh will not be available for the 1920
eleven. Aside from those mentioned
they are Alex Wray. Herb Deter. Benn
Derr. Sam Ellis and Shorty Braun.
Captain Shiverck will play his last
game for Cornell. Right Guard Miller
also graduates this year. Both make
their third appearance at Franklin
! Field.

/ ing game with Oberlin. will 60 in at left
halfback in place of Davies. Shuler
| will play right halfback and Mayer will
/ play fullback. Shiverick, of course, will
be in at quarter. The rest of the team
