PENN'S PASSES MAY
PUZZLE CALIFORNIA
BY WALTER CAMP.

BERKELEY. Calf, December l.
1t behooves California to improve its
defenses against forward passing IL
1t Is to hold it's own or prove that
Pacific Coast foot ball is as good
as or better than, the Eastern variety
in the big New Year day game here
against Pennsylvania.
California showed that IL could get
into a bad hole through passes of
its opponents in the Stanford game.
Penn won from Cornell by passes.
On the other hand, Penn is going
TO find INLAY, the California half
back, a very slippery customer if he
is fit and ready in the New Year
clash. and if not worked too hard.
Likewise, the Fasteners will find that
Dixon of California isn't the easiest
man in foot ball to Stndle.
Horrell of California, of course, is
an outstanding star in the middle of
the line. McGinty of Penn is next
to Horrell the best man in either line.
Craig is coming very fast, as is also
Fairchild, Penn's other wing man,
In Douglass. Penn has the best
backfield man of either team, but he
is sometimes erratic. Kruez is an
eNcellent line puncher and a good
interferer. McGraw. Penn's. other
backfeld man, is always reliable
Tatitornias back1eld players prob
ably will furnish more thrills but
they are not quite as powerful as the
Penn trio named.
The writer's opinion from what he
has seen is that California can hold
its own in the punting game. Like
wise. it is probable that Andy Smiths
screened forward pass will work
against the Fasteners. Penn may
also be bothered somewhat with the
formation California uses in certain
plays-the splitting of end off from
tackle and the positioning of Inlay
on diagonal line. Whether Penn
can master this formation after a
time is question, but it is good

valuable backs; Farwick and Ell
linger guards; Griffith, tackle, and
Fraser, end. Wood has always been
valuable for his punting, but never
very effective as d runner against the
Navy, while Gilmore developed into
an excellent back this season.
OF those who started the game
Saturday, the Navy loses by gradua-
ton its ends, Taylor and r. Caldwell;
Stolz, tackle; Chillingworth, the
punting right guard, and Wellings.
and Lewis, who have been used oc-
casionally in the backfeld; zuber,
who has played center part OF the
present year, and several good second
string linemen.
The most serious loss Is In the
ends, Taylor and Caldwell. both of
whom have played fine games this
year. However, a good pair should
be developed from Hardwick, Bernet,
Williamson, Specht and Taylor, the
last a wing on tine plebe eleven this year.

Truslow, Lambert, Edwards and Olsen,

Navy Well Fortified.
The backfield material which viii
be available next season is excep-.
tional Shapley, F1ippin. H. Caldwell,
AIbertson, Forsberg. Banks, Hamii-
ton and Born, together with several
second-string players, all have one or
two more years on the squad. Shap-
ley has been badly handicapped this
year by injuries and scholastic trou-
bles and went through both the Buck
nell and Army games with 2 very
bad knee. If in good physical SHAPE
as there is every reason to believe he
will be, he should have a great year
next season.
Caldwell is another promising back,
who was hurt early in the season, aH
was Forsberg. Albertson, Banks and
Hamilton did good work with COM
paratively little experience and
should be valuable another year.
Flippin, Forsberg and Eorn are big
fellows, weighing around $50, and
will be on hand next Fall.
The team, however. is expecting
much from recruits from the squad
3 and plebe elevens OF this year.
Goudge and Lucier were the backs
who stood the brunt of the work OH

former is believed to have the qualf1-
cations for q very high grade back.

Broadbent made up a very fine back
field for the plebes. The last is
big. Undertaking back.
Altogether. the Navy has an un-
usually fine outlook, both as to the
line and backfeld. and proper han
ding should develop one of the
strongest teams in the history of the

ponents, including the Army.
