|enn Guards Illness Forces Change in Line-Up
Al Voeglm viii Substitute for Him in Open
Z &. ing Came for Red and Blue

Pennsylvania will be without the
srvices of Milton Fucker. substitute
uard of last year and regular this
oar when the Red and Blue takes the
soor against Ursinus tomorrow night
the opening game Of the season.
zucker was stricken yesterday after
oo, IN his fraternity house, where he
az nresent confined with gallstones.
I.cordinp TO members of his fraternity
ke will be able to leave his bed by Mon
Cav OF next week.
The loss Of Fucker, who came to Penn
xbree wears ago from the Southside
I;sb School, Newark, N. j.. will cause
Considerable disruption of the Red and
Rlue % teamwork. Since practice started
be has been playing guard along with
ICaptain Danny McNichol and has been
doing excellent work. Last year Fucker
was one Of the substitutes of the team.
He saw. little action due to illness In
tbe midst Of the season. He played
against Chicago when that team came
| "a Weightman Hall for the second game
in the championship series. This year,
with the experience he gained as a sub
stitnte last year, Fucker has proved to
be a strong defensive player. lie Is not
tbe flashy player that Danny McNichol
or Peck were last year., but ms hard
nlay and ability to stick to his man
makes him q valuable asset to the
quintet.
In all probability. Coach Eddie Nc
Nichol will start AL Voeglin, the for
mar Central High School star and q
member Of last years freshman five:
-.I..aJ 4, ho ,1,,r 1ofpn of rI
with "Pos" Miller on the freshman
team last year and should fit in well
with Captain Danny. %
""Pos'' Miller has not reported for
tbe snort as yet due to an injured ankle
suffered during the football season.
According to Billy Morris, who Is
looking after the Lebanon youth: Miller
will be able to cavort around the basket
h,jj floor next week. With Miller and
Voeelin as substitute guards the Red
and Blue will be we'll fortified with ma
ter;al. Speaker is another substitute
guard from last year who should see
plenty of action this season with the
long, hard schedule that confronts the
Red and Blue.
Swim in Gotham Tonight
1--WE should win the swim tonight
from the City College Of New York: v
said Coach George Kistler, of the
swimming team, last night. 1.-THE polo
team, however, Is not strong one, and
] am doubtful about them. You know
we only have two veterans from last
year, Captain Collins and Dutch Halde-
man. The remainder of the team Is alb
solutely green, and 1t will remain for
competition to prove whether we will
have a strong team this season. Right
now / am pointing the team for the
dual meet with Columbia on the 18th,
In New York The Morningside Heights
boys have q strong team, / understand {;
Z much stronger one than they had last
year.
"Our team as whole is not up to
form as yet. 1t is too early in the sea-
son, and the fact that we have had but
little practice also keeps the team
from reaching the form they will
have after the Christmas holidays.
We will have q strong relay team
this year. with Eddie Shields, cap
tain of the team and intercollegiate
champion at 200; Mifiin Armstrong,
who also is fancy diver; Rambo, last
years freshman captain. and either
Martyr or Blabon. The latter Is doing
very well. and before the season Is very
id, should prove to be a valuable man
to the team. All In ALL" concluded the
veteran swimming coach, II look for a
good year"
The Penn swimming team will leave
this afternoon for New York for the
meet with the New York collegians.
Coach Kistler announced yesterday
afternoon that he would take the fol-
lowing men, along: Fifty yards, Arm
strong and Martyr, Blabon substitute !;
10 yards. Rambo and Shields; 22O
yards, Rambo and Shields; relay, Arm
strong, Rambo, Martyr, Shields and
Blabon, substitute. Kohler and Bursk
are the plungers and Armstrong and
Wiener the fancy divers. The water polo
team will probably line up as follows !:
Wheeler, goal; Shelley and Firestein,
backs, and Captain Collins, Haldeman
