OLD PENN HAS SOME
PROMISING ATHLETES
Three Might Enter Sport Hall of
Fame, But Like Something
Else Better.

Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Jan. "a
Old Penn has three athletes this season,
who may refuse To enter the Hall Of Fame,
because they like some other sport better
than the one that would bring them great
cr fame.
Johnny Titzel, the tall blonde athlete
from Pittsburg, Is, according to no less
authority than Connie Mack, Of the
Athletics, "A great lcft-handed pitcher IN
the rough, lad who could hold bis own
in the big leagues with little experience,
a youth who would be n star with little
tutoring Yet Titzcl loves football and
last season he played a brilliant game IN
the line, and was one Of the stoadiest
tackles in the East.
Sam Gerson, the captain Of the Penn
wrestling team, has a good chance Tor
intercollegiate honors. for he is one OF
the best lightweiehts Penn has turned
out. Gcrson is natural mat man but
he is also the captain of the Penn Chess
team, and spends many hours in the Hous-
ton Club playing the best ehcssmcn not
only in college but bankers, lawyers and
professional men who enjoy the intricate
game.
Lawson Robertson, the Penn track
coach, who ms performed so many
miracles with his ci nder path stars, say
that Ed Shields, the former Mercersburg
runner, now at Penn, is the best two-miler
he has seen since the days of Alfred Shrubb
the great English runner. He has turned
two miles in time for Robertson that made
the big Scot at first think that his stop
watch had gone awry. Then when
Robertson began to figure that Cornell
was not going TO bag the event in the
/. G. A. a. A. A. games that usually goes
back TO Ithaca, the two-mile run, Shields
turned out for the swimming team, has
been going great guns, and stands an
excellent chance of winning the champion
ship in the 220 yards.
