The Washington herald., 1921-11-11


With Killinger. Wilson and 9TH
ers driving in on a series of be.
wildering plays, wherein speed
running power. deception and STRAIT
egy are all combined, the Navy de-
Tense will be given its greatest
test, far beyond anything 1t has YET
been called upon to stop.
In the same way Penn States
driving attack will run into more
steel and granite than II has ever
rammed.
1t will run into a veteran, power
full line that knows how to charge
thanked by two of the best tackles
Of the year.
i King and BolIes are not to be
swept aside by any onslaught we
have seen yet. And they are not
the only defensive stars who. will
be on the job. &
Whining Chances.
No contest this seasGn has pre-.
sented more complex situations
When We consider the Navy's dur.
able defense and remember also the
running power of Barchet. Noyes
koehler, Cruise. Conroy and others
we like the Navy's chances better.
There is doubt only in two quar-
tCrs-the possession OF a high-cIass
punter and shrewd Reneralshir
needed TO get the best out of the
team.
These were the only features
lacking in the Navy's furry with
Princeton. where Folwelrs machine
chalked off Is first downs agains,
o. in a game that shrewd quarter
back play might have turned into
a rout.
There is also the remembrance OF
/ Penn States wonderful aerial skill
Killinger can whip the oval
thirty OF forty yards as Ray Schalk
pegs to second base, while McCol-
lum and others can pull down these
passes as Iris Speaker gathers in
a drive to center.
The combination Of running and
forward passing power is greater
on Penn States side than II IL or
the Navy's, although Penn State
will have no harder running backs
Bezdek's machine ran up forty
nine points against Harvard and
Georgia Tech, and most OF these
points were far from being due tu
any opposing weakness. The Navy
has one of the greatest defensive
machines in football, and vet II will,
be put to the last limit to hold the
fast, battling attack 1t will meet
tomorrow.
From what we saw in the Navy.

Cornell's Showing.

Of another tall score.

Williams. Columbia is due for a
better afternoon, but O'Nein has
no chance against the Big Red team
that now looks to be one of the
strongest in the land.
Cornell and Yale seem to have
returned together after several
barren years, here both have ex-
cellent chances Of finishing the
season with unblemished records.
