PENN ENDS
WILL PLAY
GRANGE
Illinois Star Will Test ouak-
ers' System Of
Defense
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH
international News Service

4 PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 29.-
Can the Pennsylvania system of
end defense, with it's wings going
directly to the ball runner the
minute play is in motion, stop
"Red" Grange, of Illinois. on Sat-
urday? This is the major ques-
ton of the day on the local
campus. You answer it by asking
several more: How grand is Grand
Forks and what about the knives
and spoons :?
There will be no adequate an
swer to the Pennsylvania interro-
CATION until its ends come tearing
In toward Grange on Saturday as
soon as he gets the ball, which
viii be as soon as Illinois gets
the ball.
The Pennsylvania system calls
for its wings to take several strides
beyond the customary point before
coming to a halt and diagnosing
the direction of play. In this way
they take the initiative, and against
a team using little deception they
are quite effective.
The writer, however, has come to
believe that Grange is inclined to.
some deception in his activities.
He, in fact, is the most deceptive
ball runner in the game and adds
TO this by being at least double,
II not always a triple, threat.
There is more than an even
chance that Singer and Thayer
may find themselves drawn out Of
position on occasions, and, If they
are, fine time will be had by all,
including Harold Red" Grange.
The Penn ends happen to be an
exceptionally fine pair, at that.
They can do everything an end
should do, with one possible excep-,
: ton. They cannot substitute for
themselves. This is to be deplored,
since the reserve wing strength is
rather weak, as it were.
It is the only department in which
the Pennsylvania team is not fool
proof. 1t has a fine charging line,
featuring Captain Wilson and
Sieracki, pair of all-America
possibilities, at the tackles; Butler,
Snyder, and Pike, three exceptional
guards, and Robinson, another en-
brionie all-America at center. Hake,
at tackle, is just a stride behind
the varsity pair.
All in all, Pennsylvania has one
Of the finest lines in the game.
This, ordinarily, is enough, but
Pennsylvania goes farther. It has
a great plunger and kicker N
Kruez, a ball runner and passer in
Rogers. two good quarterbacks in
Leith and Laird, and several spare
ball runners~in Fields, Douglas.
Thomas and Sorensen.
A great team, in brief, and on
the threshold of the greatest sea-
son Pennsylvania has known since
1904.
Furthermore, the writer might
suggest that it Is about to un-
dergo its greatest test Of the sea-
son, Yale, Brown apd Chicago to
the contrary. This trio was
knocked off in succession as Penn
sylvania proceeded to maintain
its unbeaten record, but Illinois,
I'm spite of its spOtty showing I'm
the Middle West, will prove the
highest hurdle Of the lot.
Why? For reasons several and
probably sufficient. In the first
place, the word has gone out that
Kruez and Fields will be unable to
play on Saturday because Of in
juries. If this is true, the Penn
sylvania attack, never too potent,
will lose so per cent of its eff
cheney and the Pennsylvania team

Some Country Clubs
Divide Membership
Into Classes

A golf club, newly organized,
was Interested in the policy OF
such organizations with regard
to special dues for members
playing tennis only. The prob
lem, was put up to the United
States Golf Association and in
formation received from four
clubs was as follows:
One has but one membership
fee, which covers all facilities,
golf and tennis included. An
other is operating under the
same plan, but states in the
near future a charge will be
made for persons who play golf.
Another club has three classes of
membership; $50, family, for all
privileges; $25, family, for all
privileges except golf; SIS, in
dividual membership for all
privileges except golf. Still an
other club has an extra charge
either by the hour or by the
season for tennis privileges.
quite possibly will lose 100 per cent
of the football game.
The other reason is Grange. This
one might even prove the abiding
factor, whether Kruez plays OF
doesn't play.
Bob Zuppke Is bringing on an
Illinois team fully equipped to turn
Grange into the open for the first
time this season. He wants to win
this game about as much as any.

Marvin Goodwin, aviator and Cincin-

when his plane fell in Texas last week,
may have played a part in the world
series downfall of a brother splitter"
Stanley Coveleskie of the Washington
Nationals, whose performance in the
classic this year was about the op-
posite of the record he made in the
CleVela nd Brooklyn series of 1920.
when he won three games for the
Indians.
The now world champion Pirates
when they journeyed to Cincinnati for
the last three games on the regular
schedule. had won the National
League flag and as consequence
were giving considerable thought to
the coming series and especially the
Washington pitching staff.
Manager Bill McKechnie is said TO
have suggested that Goodwin be used
against his crew in one game, and
inasmuch as the race had been won,
Manager Jack Hendricks sent him to
the hill.
Goodwin, who Joined the Reds late
in the Summer. gave the Bucs plenty
of his splitter and the Pirates took
advantage of the opportunity to study
the wet fling"
This incident may or may not have
had bearing on "Covey's poor show
ing in the series, but nevertheless II
shows that the Pirates are prepared
ness advocates.
Previous to the Cincinnati series
Bill Doak, former major league spit
ball pitcher and now a Florida real
estate operator, was back in his home
town. Pittsburgh, and the Pirate
management asked him if he would
help them out by tossing up a few in
practice. Bill had not thrown a ball
for a long time. SO could give no

Dreyfuss says the West viii have all

For five years the National League
has been fighting to throw off the
New York yoke. OF course, the Giants
had as much right to win a pennant
as any other team, but some of the
owners felt that the organization was
mouldering with dry rot, owing 10 the
great similarity OF its championship
contests since 1921. the Giants win
ming all the time up TO the season just
ended.
In Is long years the West was
successful in only three.
President John A. Heydler, in com
menting upon the great success of the
Eastern clubs, said the predominance
of strength on the part of the Giants
was easily responsible for this. He
pointed out that New York always
was fortunate enough to engage men
who turned out To be the winning
pitchers of their time.
The youth of the Pittsburgh team
of this year In Heydler's opinion.
makes it a very dangerous rival for
any team for more than one season
to come.
That opinion is rather generally
held throughout the league, and the
western section of the National,
because of it, is more confident of
success in the next three years to
come than il has been in many years.
The Cincinnatis, after winning in
1919. failed to come back because
there were too many old players on
the team. Brooklyn in the very next
