rho Penn scout who watched the Ma

oftornocn was telling of his impress

saturday afternoon. r,.,.
"a vrtrrln team that needs little

,,a,ier Of fact. the most part. and OF
Gov, veterans to defeat an h9ereRa-
,;on that boasts almost entirely Of vets.
w .iI ,afavettc has great line thar
lac much Of the Pitt system drilled
into @ il and a bac,ifcld that is very
nsnoble-a close second o the ono
Wa~ncr Wp~ nnd on Franklin Field Satur-
i,r afternoon. The line holds like a
% tone wall and on Saturday had little
dificuty ripping holes in TIC lsutSerS
.'rhMt backlield quartet of Ernnerr.
s,asholtz. Elliott and GnHeIia Is
= bcauty end will be hard to stop.
THEY are last, aggressive and cen hit
thc line and run the ends with equal
otiiity. Their co-"rdinntion IS some
hing pretty to watch. Penn VIII nave
ifs hands filled again this saturday
not merely because Lafayette has a
,ictory 10 it's credit over Pittsburgh
ht berausn the former team has
found its real power since that time.
Use Warner System
"Our main job this week will be TO
hri,d IN defense for their rcverses
and forward pass plays. Jock Suther-
land the Lafayette coach. is an honor
"rairote from the Warner school Of
;ootbaIl and YOU know what that means.
IIis team PLAYS a Pitt system almost
entirely and how we'll it has succeeded
can bs seen from their record so far
this season.
"A Lafayette season is never q sue
cess unless PennSy ylvania is included in
the list Of victims. and they are coming
down here this Saturday loaded for
hear. They seemed surprised Saturday
night that Pitt defeated the Red and
BIue with so much ease, but still they
are not over optimistic. The student
body of course, expects a rout. but the
nlayers and coaches are not so certain
from what I gathered there on Satur-
day."
Coach Johnny Heisman. OF Penn,
started his preparations for the visit
OF the Eastonians yesterday afternoon,
and not Il man will be spared in the
relentless drive to try and stave OF a
second defeat. The many mistakes made
BY the team last Saturday against Pitt
were pointed out yesterday by the
coaches. while the line. particularly the
second team. was given drill that
lasted well over an hour with the scrubs
as the opposition.
Line Needs Work
II was the faulty work Of the line
on Saturday in the first half that per-
mitted most Of the scoring. They
seemed unable to find themselves under
terrific pounding OF the opposition and
OF the stubborn defense put up by the
Pitt lincSmen. Yesterday Gus Zicsler
was busy from the start of practice until
it was concluded drilling the players in
the proper way to meet the bull-lke
rushcs Of the Pitt system.
Most of the regulars were given the
afternoon off. as Is customary on Mon
day afternoons. The day was set aside
as late class day early in the season and
most of the players make up their abb
0ratory aud other late work on that day.
Pos Miller, Genthner, Ertresvaag and
Bill Grave were out in toys, and ran
through the signal drill with the first
varsity.
johnny Lukas. who is anxious 10
win back his berth on the first varsity
quintet, was the busiest man on th'
field. lie played from the start TO the
finish Of the scrimmage drill. his de-
fcnsive work particularly being OF tine
first water.
In the offensive scrimmaGe between
the eccond varsity and the scrubs,
Joe" Biben and Tommy" Krall
showed some real ability. Both backs
smashed big holes in the scrub line
and scored touchdowns from the 20.
yard line. Tom" Mcnamara, after
the offensive drill, sent his scrubs into
the scrimmagc equipped with La
fayette plays, and they showed lots 0!
strength in breaking through the var.
Slty line and around the wings. Cor
don and Riley were towers Of strength
on McNamara's eleven.
Team In Good Shape
Penn should be in excellent shape
1or the Lafayette games, barring nos
