last season and was so good at end that
ne was given berth on Walter Camps
All American team. He is the only
Quaker to get place on Camps first
team since Roy Mercer in 1912.
1t must be admitted that 1918 did
not show the best class of football, but
in justice to Hopper It is only fair to
add that many believed he would have
won an All American post in normal
times. BY Dickson. an end himself
back in the old days and a man whose
Judgment of football players is greatly
respected. said Hopper was one of the
best wingmen he ever had seen.
Hopper had tough battle this sea
son with Ray Miller in the scrap for
the regular left end. Heine Miller had
the other wing clnched. but it was a
toss up between the other two for the
portside of the line. Folwell said they
were about even in his estimation and
decided to alternate them. HOMER Is
not the rugged player of Ray MiIler's
type. but he is more polished.
Folwcll had considerable trouble this
year in getting his ends to follow in
structions. Under the Penn system of
play the wingman is supposed to knock
down the interference on end runs and
off tackle plays and to let the defensive
halfhack take care of the man with the
ball.
If the end tries for the man with the
ball and misses, the interference hits
the secondary defense intact and gain
of 10 or more yards usually results.
This shows the necessity of the ends
dropping the interference and then try
ing for the runner. Hopper was one
end whose first act was to take care of
the interference.

bottom all the vague rumors that have
been cropping out lately on the score of
professionalism at Penn.
Major Pickering said he knew that
professional football teams had made
good Offers to several members of this
years Penn eleven, including Heinie
Miller, Lou Little, Lud Wray and Ho-
bey Light, and that he was glad the
players had turned them down.
Pearce got away with his secret all
autumn. He is said to have admitted to
a classmate yesterday that he played in
the Three-I League under the name of
Dwyer and toward the end of the sea =
son was signed up by the Cubs with
whom he spent more than a month, and
is still their property.
Pearce says that he is now so deep in
scholastic difficulties that he is anxious
to leave Penn. He played at halfback
or quarterback in every big game for
Penn this season except in the Cornell
game.
It is said that Pearce will go South
with the Cubs this next spring for
training.
Ben Derr is also expected to leave
Penn as, after declaring himself to have
played professional football, he does not
feel that he should remain as student
there.

DeU Says
s.LOTS OF RUMORS'

DOB FoLWELL, coach of the Penn
- football team, denied today that
Pard Pearce. the sensational Red and
Blue back, accused of professionalism
had been kept out of the Cornell game
by reason of rumors against the player.
eve didn't need him in that game
and that's why he didn't play" asserted
Folwell today.
Pearce is said to have admitted yes
terday to a classmate that he had fin
ished the last baseball season in the
uniform of the Chicago Cubs, on the
bench as sub infielder. He is said to
be on the rolls of the Cubs and due to
go South with the team for spring
training.
Major Pickering. the graduate man
ager of athletics at Penn, and DIR. John
Adams, the chairman of the University
Council on Athletics, both denied that
they knew anything of Pearce's connec-
ton with the Cubs.
"All we know" said Major Pickering
today, and he spoke for Doctor Adams
also, sis that Pearce was dropped by
the coaching staff. was told that the
reason for this was that he was not
needed and there were too many rumors
concerning professionalism"
''All this baseball stuff is news to
It
Cornell game there were rumors that
Pearce had played football for pay, but
so many groundless rumors like that
have been started from time to time
that we can't pay much attention to
them unless there is some definite evil
dence to investigate. I admit that
rumors about Ben Derr and Pard
Pearce had something to do with their
holding down the bench. We felt it
was the safe thing to do, even though
there was no evidence. But the real
reason peace did not play was, as l
said, because he wasn't needed"
The Mullica Hill farmer said he
, knew nothing of any investigation
likely to be made at Penn on all the
''pro'' rumors that have been floating
around, that he had not had a talk
with Pearce as yet ON his standing,
nor with Major Pickering on the situa
tion.
Major Pickering has not probed to the

Phyicians and druggists are yer,

Many physicians are substituting

Druggists report a large demand

Goat Got Even.

One really unusual incident Oc-
CURED during recent military cere-
mony in France. and that revOlved
about th" goat mascot of one of the
divisions in the parade. The goat had
followed in with his men as befittrd
proper mascot but once in the
square he was rudely relcgated 10
the rear ranks. Ii chanced that n
number of red-haticd Stafr officers took
up their position in front of the goat
and stood during the inspection at at
tention with huge bouquets out back
from under their arms. When the i'm.
Spection was over the officers stood nj
ease again and looked To their hon.
quetS. They were holding only stems.
The mascot had taken sweet revenge
and square meal for the insult To
his dignity.
