dents joined in to augment the roofing
bands of undergraduates.
Jock Sutherland, coach OF the Eas-
tonians this year has one Of the best
teams that Lafayette has boasted of in
many years. With veteran quartet of
backs and line that contains several
men who have had considerable expert
ence, the students Of the upstate insti-
tuition were confident that they would
humble the Red and Blue.
Critics all over the country contended
that this is Lafayette's one big chance
of adding another victory over Pennsyl-
vania. In the last ten years the wearers
of the Red and Blue have been the vic
tors seven times to two for Lafayette,
with the result of one game tie. Net
since 1915 has Lafayette been able to
cross the goal line of the Franklin Field
boys. In that year the Eastonians wal
| loped Pennsylvania. IL to 0. Since that
time the Red and Blue have shown their
speriority by good sized scores.
Lafayette outweighed the Red and
| Blue by three or four pounds in the
line and about six pounds In the back
field. From end to end the visitors
weighed ON an average of 1856 pounds,
while Penn just about tipped the scales
at $50. The line, with two exceptions,
all played against Pennsylvania last
year, while the backfield quartet all
saw action then.
The Lafayette tackles, J. Williams
and AL Bedner, are rated among the
best in the East, according to critics
who have viewed this pair against the
Navy. Williams fails to move the
beam on the scales at 210. while Bed
ner tips at 1856 pounds.

has led the team on the field since the
start of the season, Is q born leader.
Schwab Is a guard and this afternoon
has as his running mate none
other than ]. Budd, who starred for
"By" Dickson's famous Marine eleven
ut the navy yard in 1913. Budd got
his chance this afternoon because OF the
injury sustained by Wolbert against the
Navy last Saturday. Budd weighs lS1
pounds and is rated as capable man by
'.By" Dickson who is the assistant
+ Penn coach this year. Brown, the center
i who starred against Penn last year, is
light, weighing but 165 pounds, but he
is one Of the scrappiest PLAYERS ever
to represent the Maroon and White.
