afternoon against Pitt, ! think that
penn will be- 90 per cent stronger than
AZ any time previously this season. y
, lied and Blue assistant coach was
sneaking this morning after he had been
osked what the chances for Penn were
AGAINST Warmers Panther eleven.
"Yo,t cnn say for me. without men,
tioning my name. that this fellow lIn =
mer is one of the best backs in the
business. lie can run the ends. hit
the line and throw forward passes with
The best in the business. And do not
forget the fact that he Is undoubtedly
the best punter in college ranks We
have met SO fnr this year. Why. that
fellow IInmcr can punt them 30 yards
without any effort
~ hnve seldom seen hackfcld
nlayer In the last few years who can
throw n forward pass with the distance
and accuracy this fellow Ilnmcr can.
Ue is really one of the hest | have ever
seen. He can hcavc that old pigskln
down the field better than any man
on our squad, and when 1t comes to nc-
curacy he IL really star. Of course.
II seems premature to play up n man
who has not seen nnY action in game
az vet. but II he lives up to the stand
nrd he has set for himself in practice
so far this season. Pittsburgh will have
another star player to cope with.
Chances Against Pitt
"Condltions' look mighty fine for our
giving Pittsburgh ms great n fight as
Bert Bells eleven did in 1910. when
they held the Panthcrs to a 2 to 2 tic.
The team Is really in better shape than
I hive seen II at any time this secson
!. II really made me feel good to see Aicm
run through signal drills out there Mt
Whitrmarsh yesterday afternoon. They
looked like old timers. believe me. and
am sure that they are going to make
Warner do II little worrying tomorrow
afternoon. With Rex Wray calling
signals, Miller and Whitchill at the
halfback posts and 1Inmcr at fullback
we will be in better shape in the back
field than we have been ut any time
this season.
"The line. too. will he in good shape.
OF course. we will not have lIumcs in
the line. but. then. we will have our
old standby. Johnny Thurman. think
that Johnny Dcrn. the Salt Lake High
School lad. will occupy the pivot posi-
ton. with Sutherland and GCnthncr at
tackles and Thurman and COChrane at
guards. or course. we will have Grave
and Ertrrssvnag at the end posts.
"If you take TINT outfit in order.
man for man, and then make a decision
you will find that we arc in better
shape than we have been since the CO.
mmbia game last season. That outfit
should make the pcslsy Panthcrs hustle
as they haven't hustled since they mot
Lafayette.
"Thc great change in Pittsburgh last
week when they 50 easily vnnQuiShcd
the Syracuse crew mnch to the surprise
of the East. made them look like .
remarkable team Our scouts have
brought back reports that the Pirates
are better this year than at any tin:c
since 1916. II that be true. believe
me, we are on for great afternoon
Pitt is no longer three to one fn
vorite, and | am certain this morn'r4
