Special Dispatch TO TIE Nrw YoxK HxrirD.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1l.-Even before
Penn met with it's unexpected setback
at the hands OF the University OF Ala
barna, the Red and Blue scouts ana
followers who attended the Penn State
Navy game admitted that Coach Heis-
mans team will moro than have It's
hands full when it meets the Hugo Bez-
| dek machine on Franklin Field next
Saturday.
Bob Foiwell. the Navy's head coach
! and a former Penn star and tutor, said
after his team had beaten State by two
| touchdowns in Washington last week
that State would beat Penn. despite the
fact that the Red and Blue had BUNDLED
the Navy, 10 10 z. This was also borne
out by Dickson. former Penn coach
and player, and several moro
States defense ranks with the best
that have seen all year" said Charles
| (Kid) Keinath, who is one of Penn's
scouts. II believe that Penn's offense
may be a trifle better than that of
enough to withstand any kind OF
straight attack"
Penn's followers believe that George
Sullivan, Capt. "Pos" Miller and TEX"
Hamer are just as fiashy as any mem
bers OF the State backfield. Mike Palm
and Wilson being the outstanding stars
OF the Blue and White outfit. Hamer is
expected TO outkick Palm. who has the
additional burden Of running back the
opponents kicks. Capt. Millor was not
at his best in the Alabama game. plainly
showing a slump after his brilliant work
against the Navy the previous week.
Hamer also fell or IN his Rrounc gain
ing. although his punting was just as
good as ever.
Expect McGraw to Improve.
Rae McGraw also failed to come up
to expectations. but the coaches believe
that the Red and BIus backfield cJgnbina-
tion can be rounded into It's early season
stride In time for the visit OF the Nit
tany Lions. Sullivan alone was Il SEN

touchdown being one of the greatest bits
of sidestepping and lodging ever seen
on Franklin Field. 1t would not be sur
| prising to see Sullivan start in the re-
manning games at halfback. "sully" Is
| football racehorse and cannot stand
too much work, but he certainly can
run with the bail when given chance.
Coach Hsisnlan still has hopes of get
ting Craig, the hard luck halfback. back
In shape for some OF the remaining
| games. Just when it appears as though
Craig is ready to step into tho lineup In
game something new bobs up. He has
been bothered with a bad leg, infected
arm and injured shoulder. Craig Is
! sturdily built lad and can pass and
catch forwards with the best OF them.
Ends Take . slump.
Penn's ends, Ertresyasg and Fair
child, took a slump with the rest OF the
team In the Alabama game, but the
latter managed to catch one pretty for
| ty-flve yard forward pass from the
hands OF TEX" Hamer. Johnson. the
former Trinity player who went in for
Ertresvaag late in tho game, had
chance to be a hero. but hivvered. He
was camped under one Of Hamcr's ex-
ceptionally long passes and with clear
field to the goal line allowed the ball TO
slide through his fingertips.
Penn's management expects ONT of
| the biggest crowds OF the year in the
rev stadium when state comes here
this week. The Nittany Lions always
have been popular at Franklin Field.
! They did not appear on last years
schedule. but Philadelphians are ready
to welcome them back to the ranks For
the last three weeks applications have
been pouring into the Penn A. A. Offices
for reservations 20 this gamo and II Is
expected that $4,000 will be present.
IL is the last game before the annual
contest with Cornell on Thanksgiving
Day. Applications also come fast for
tho Cornell battle, the Ithacans making
request for the entire north sido OF
the field
