Papworth is said to be one of the
best linemen ever developed at
Penn. That is saying great

game some real top notch linemen.
Robinson is playing center like

hard, aggressive game. In every
battle to date they have outfought
their rivals. Lafayette Is going to
find their task a harder one than
they have encountered so far this

The Pennsylvania squad is COM
posed of q number of veterans. The
fact that majority of the varsity

Is going to help to hold them to-

they are going to meet on Saturday.
Lafayette is going to Franklin

winning the Iaurels. The win that
they put across last year is what
gives them the added confidence.
Pennsylvania and Lafayette have
played forty-two games on the grid

contests recorded in gridiroI annals.
OF the forty-two played the Red

Quakers have won twenty-eight to
