For the last week the candidates
have been drifting into town. IN
able to resist the urge to begin
work, six men, five Quarterbacks
and one center went to Cape May
last Thursday as the guests OF Bert
Bell for q little extra work. But
the main squad starts for the shore
today, and the men will have their
first workout tomorrow morning.
For the first week Trainer Law
son Robertson has ordered that
there be but one practice daily. The
headquarters of the squad at Cape
May will be Stockton Villa and the
practice will be held on an adjoin-
ing field.
Although the squad which goes
to the shore ia one of the largest
on record and contains many ex-
pertenced players, there ID no un.
due optimism among the coaches.
They realize that this 10 . critical
year for Pennsylvania and that y
good team Is expected BY students
and alumni.

on hand from the start. This In
cludes, among others. Lieut.. Harold
Castor. who will have charge of
the line. Lieut.. CASTOR has OBJ
commanding officer at Fort Sill,
where he 10 attached to the artil-
lery service.
Lieut.. CASTOR was considered to
have been the principal factor in
the development OF the Pennsyl.
vanta line last year, and with 70
much veteran material back he
ought to have an even better line
this fall. He will be assisted by
''Lud" Wray, center on the 1861
and ID teams, who will devote him
self to the centers.
Bert Bell, quarterback and cap
tain in 1919, will be chiefly respon-
sible for the Quarterbacks. With the
graduation of ex-captain Miller,
there Is no man of varsity expert
ence IN sight for this Job.
There are five promising candi.
dates out for 1t, however. Four are
members OF last years freshman
squad. They include Thomas, Of
the Slippery Rock Normal School,
and Eddy, OF Spokane, Wash, who
alternated here for the freshmen
last fall; Richter, Of the Suffield,
Conn.,, School, and Witherow, a
local schooiboy. OF more expert
ence is Fiues, who substituted at
end and half back last year. Flues
has the distinction Of being one
OF the best punters on the squad.
While Coach YOung's greatest
concern is the bacl1iead, with
quarterback worrying him most,
he ls anxious to work ont his
candidates for halfback. With
Captain Hamer assured OF the
fullback post, there are soSnc
promising man for the positions
ct halfback. McGraw ha. the
inside track for one haIfback,
meF, all experienced men, ready
to fight It out for the other posi-
ton.
OF the line positions 1t IL assumed
that last years veterans will be the
first choice OF the coaches. These
veterans, all of whom will be on
hand at the start, include Fairchild
at one end. Sutherland at tackle.
Papworth at guard and Dern at
center. The missing veterans are
