mer Captain, Will Be

FOUR CANDIDATES IN FIELD
Ry PAIL PREP

A CAPTAIN for Penn Charter
~ Schools 1922 football team will be
elected Wednesday. September 13.
Bob stntzcll. brilliant end and cap
tain Of the 1921 eleven. was to have led
the Quakcrs again this fall. Bob,
however, was married during the sum
mer. so he was forced to give up school.
Four youths, all seniors, are can
ddatcs for the captaincy. Fred
Schanche, crack center; Whitney Brill,
fullback; sam Evans and Fittle,
tackles, are the players.
Schanche and Brill loom up as the
best bets to be honorcd by the Yellow
and Blue squad. Both are exceptionally
brilliant in their respective positions
and know the ins and outs of the grid
game thoroughly.
Fittlcr and Evans were among the
best tackles in the 1nteracadcmic
League Inst year. They could block
punts, open up the opposing line and
show Interference. They shone brill
liantly on the L. c. line during the en-
tire season
Two guards. Taulane and McCar-
thy, also have hopes OF being named
the Quaker leader. Both were good
line Smen.
Schanclrc Probably
Has the Best Record
Schanche probably has the best rec
ord Of the leading quartet. He starts
his third year Ms pivot Of the Quaker
! eleven, and II also should be his best.

| Schnnche was dreaded. by every team
rowing center. and smashed more than
his quota Of plays.
His passing of the ball was remark
able. He used the spiral pass. which
| he sent to the backfield with marked
accuracy. Rarely did he make q poor
toss, and he proved his ability to kccY
his opponent in check before play was
executed.
| His playing. gameness and schoo
spirit compare with that Of any Other
| player in scholastic ranks. He is wei
liked by his teammates. and it wouldn't
be surprising to see him honored witt
the captaincy.
Brill Must Be
Considered Also
Whitney Brill's playing was OF the
highest calber during the entire cam.
paiSn last fall. He can punt, hit the
line. run the ends, toss and receive
PAGES, and, in fact, do everything nee.
esSary to make a first class backtieid
star.
Brill showed his class in the open
ing game against Lansdowne when he
recovered a tumble and dashed ninety

on he played the same brand Of ster
ling football and was =. C.'s bigges,
throat during the season.
Brill, like SChanche, Is popular with
his fellow players and will make a biz
bid when the election Is held.
Sam Evans and Fittler both ar,
popular and are star players. But 1
is not likely that a lineman will b,
picked TO lead the eleven unless he hap
pens 10 be Fred Schanchc.
The same thing goes for Taulane anC
Mccarthy. While both have made grea
records FOR themselves. 1t doesn't lool
as if they have a chance against either
the blonde center or the fiashy fullback
