The clean air up at Whitemarsh. away
from the smoke and SCOT that sifts over

No Scrimmage Drill
For the third successive week Heis-
man did not hold a scrimmage drill on
Wednesday afternoon. Yesterday he
sent his charges through long signal
drills after the first and second VARSITY
had tested their defensive ability with
the scrubs having the Pitt plays in II
mock scrimmage.
Indications pointed yesterday to two
changes in the Red and Blue team for
Saturday. Jack Dern. the husky center
substitute from Salt Lake City High
School, will start at the pivot position.
The big fellow who last year reached
stardom as freshman by his line play
has entirely recovered from his in
luries and should give Stein great
battle
Dern played on the same high school
team as Rommey. the Chicago star who
gained laurels last Saturday afternoon
at Princeton. Papworth, a member of
Jack keOgh's freshman eleven, also
played at Salt Lake along with Dern
and the Chicagoan.
