weeks ago, can expect some real
work when these two wildcats start
their ten-round bout tonight.

quest of many fans. 1t should be
filled with thrills from start to finish.

one it will be, Rube Bennett, the

Given Light Scrimmage

fnturies which resulted from wednes-
day evenings heavy -scrimmaging,
Coach Strickler gave his Lebanon
Valley College football warriors a
lighter workout last evening, fearing
that any more stiff scrimmage might
result in further injuries to players.
Two players were hurt in the scrim-
mage Wednesday evening and one of
them. Harvey. the husky right half
back, whose long run was one of the
stellar features of the Villanova game
two weeks ago, will in all probability
be compelled to remain out of to-
morrow's game with Susquehanua

seriously hurt and may be able to
hold down his position at right end
in Saturdays game.
Harvey's injury leaves a hole in the
varsity backfield which Coach Strick-
Ter has not yet decided how to fill.
He was unable to say last evening
who would occupy the position on
Saturday, although there is good ma
terial from which to select. Two new

team last evening. although it is
doubtful IT, either of them will be suf-
