GETS STIFF DRILL
Coaches Stewart and Gould

Coach Gould. assistant to Douglas
Stewart. put the University Of Penn
sylvania soccer team through a half
hours vigorous workout yesterday aft
ernoon In preparation for the final
game OF the intercollegiate league Sat-
urday afternoon with Princeton.
A victory over the Tigers will put
the Red and Blue in the place it oc.
cupied In 1920, that Of intercollegiate
champions. A defeat will force the
final standing into a deadlock between
Penn and Princeton. The Tigers have
been defeated once this season, Cornell
turning the trick carly In the season.
In the event that the final standing
IS tie arrangements have been made
for a play y-of on tho Tigers field next
Wednesday afternoon. The Penn play
crs, however. say that there will not
be any need for an extra game.
The situation this year is the same
as in 1920 when two play-off games
were necessary before the title finally
went to the red and blue. The last
game was played at HaverfOrd before
the largest crowd that ever witnessed
an intercollegiate soccer match.
Penn is in excellent shape for the
battle. The triumph over Harvard last
Saturday, while not exactly gratifying
to the cOaches because Of the ragVedness
of the play, at times served MS the i'm
petus to make the booters hustle this
week. A marked improvement in play
was noted yesterday when the varsity
battled with the seconds. The regulars
scored number of goals. with
Lingelbach and Captain Amelia dis
tinguishing themselves.
The students at Penn are all worked
up over the game and prospects of a
big crowd nre bright. Several hundred
students from TiecrtOwn are coming to
this city Saturday morning to witness
the fray. Like n big football battle
considerable betting is going on over
the result Of the game.
Princeton students are offering odds
Of three to one that their favOrites
come through, figuring on the old story
thnt Penn has always had trouble in the
last few years. to defeat the Tigers.
The Red and Blue students are gather
ing up every available nickel to bet on
their favorites.
Prospects for water polo team at
Penn are not of the best. A scarcity
Of candidates. as we'll as experienced
players, is causing George Kistler and
Walter FAIRIES, his assistant, no end
Of concern. An effort is being made to
interest football players in the sport.
At other colleges which boast Of water
polo teams the big men report for the
sport. while at Penn most OF the
smaller men are the candidates.
Byron Dickson. who has been look.
ing after the fraternity basketball and
football teams, looks for the battle OF
the year tomorrow afternoon. when two
Of the best frat teams at the Univer-
sity meet for mortal combat.
The Inter- Fraternity Basketball
League will get started after the holi-
days with about sixteen teams entered.
