Mount Gretna. Sept. s.

A CASUAL visitor in the training
n camp of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania football team in this town
nesting in the hills, dozen miles
from Lebanon, is impressed with two
things. The first is the earnestncss OF
the forty odd players working for places
on what promises to be real varsity
eleven, and the splendid physical con-
! dition Of the men.
Seldom in the history of early train,
! ing Of red and blue elevens mas a squad
| presented itself to a coach i'll such per-
fcct fcttle as this year. AS each man
| hons off the train lie gives the appearance
! OF the trained athlete. the man VINO It-
votes much time to building up MS
strength his wind and preparing Nun
| self for the most trying sport IN coi'
| lcge athletics. w ond
log muscles hronzed from the summer
SINS. and with very little fat showing
on ony mart of their anatomles, the
candidates present sight that pleases
tho eyes of the spectators as well as 'he
coaches who are labOring to hr!nS fehh
ont Of the gridiron slough Of despond.
TT rs uhen the squad pounces out
l of the Jdthhouse that serres the
drrssino room of the squad that me

their trorkOuts.
ITO A man, the candidates leave 'h' m
l. bathhousc and dash up to the hele
eIl set for busv time. Inc hiornlnt

look.
