through as they did yesterday afternoon
against the Philadelphia Dental College
In a practice game on Franklin Field.
It was the first real game Of the sea.
son for DIR. Cariss' tossers, and after
the game had been chalked up as
6.to.1 triumph the consensus was that
Penn has fast fielding aggregation. an
excellent trio Of twirlers, but a team Q
trife weak in hitting.
Jim Jensen, a tall right -hander, who
evidently has had a world Of experience,
hold Captain Bill Maher and his mates
to a sextette of bingles. Had he been
backed up In the same fashion ms were
have been much less on the Penn side.
For so early In the season Jensen had q
world Of stuff, his fast ball curves and
shoots being particularly vicious.
Label Goldblatt and Billy Maher
were the only Penn men who could find
his shoots with any degree Of consist
ency. Each garnered pair of bingles,
while AL Mouradian and Ed McMullin
each SHARED a single. Seven of the Red
and Blue batters fell by the strikeout
route, which, according to DR.. Cariss, is
not SO bad. when It is taken into con-
alteration that they were meeting curve
ball pitching for the first time.
The fielding of the Red and Blue nine
was of the scintillating variety. Out.
side Of two errors, both the result of
hurrying throws, Penn felded fault
lessly. Label Goldblatt handled six
chances without miscue, making q
pickup in the fourth inning that brought
cheers from the partisan rooters.
Ysdusisy in Form
OF the three twirlers, Bill Yadusky
showed the most stuff. He famed four

he worked without using much Of his
start as Penn pitchers, displayed con.
siderable skill, and will be valuable
additions to the twirling staff. Because
of the chill winds that blew across the
neld, DR.. Carisls kept his veteran var
sity pitchers on the bench.
Walter Huntzinger reported for the
nine yesterday, and displayed world Of
stuff for the first day. One day after a
long. arduous season on the court and
Huntz was in a baseball uniform. Hc
had tendency to let loose yesterday,
but DR.. Cariss cautioned him. In two
weeks he will be ready for duty.
Two years ago Huntzinger was the
star Of the Penn hurling staff. Shortly
he was stricken with pleurisy and or
dered TO remain out Of sports on his
recovery. With Huntzinger on the staR
II he returns to his 1920 shape, and
such men as Larsen. Stout, Llewelyn,
Rohrer, Roth and Yadusky, Cariss has
ono of the best pitching stahs Penn has
had In many years.
Larsen, the big left -hander, and Stout
who have been inactive for some time,
will be able to take their regular turn
on the mound within the next two weeks,
according to DIR. Cariss. Stout, who
wrenched muscle in his arm, worked
out yesterday, and while the member
is still weak, the pain has entirely left
1t. Larsen is rapidly regaining his
strength after n severe cold.
