WEALTHY MEN ARE
 ALWAYS IN TRIM
Ptnsylvani, Coach Says They Art in Shape Most of Time


 haps the sons of wealthy families do not turn out to be better foot ball players than those who ars obliged now and then to toii for s living. but they certainly are easier on the mind Of coach.
 That thought belongs to Lou Young. curly-headed. kindly leader of Pennsylvania's sridiron forces It comes of constant association through the past ten or fifteen year. with both types of young men. or football fields and of. He explain. it this way.
 You never worry in the of sea son about boy whose parents are wealthy, because you know that h. is somewhere out in the open. get. ting sunburned and husky. building in healthy leisure for the rugged work of the fall. The athlete whc has to work in the off-season may be cramped over a desk and return to college all tired out.
 The wealthy youngster comes back to football in great shape ready to play. When the season is over you forget about him until the next fall rolls around.
 But consider the other fellow You worry about whether he has a job and can return to college all right, If he hasn't a Job you get him one. When college opens you must see that the work he does is swapped of against football so that he gets the most good in both direc- tions.''
 Coach Young. busy now since Sept. { building a team that has caught his imagination and lifted his hopes for 2 championship elev- en to new heights. also knows what has happened to all the reserve ma terial. missing on so many promi- nent eastern gridirons this fall.
 More and more" he says. the small colleges are biting into the big fellows. At one time a young ster of definite footbaii ability nev- CT considered anything but the ma ior colleges when graduating from prep school. Why. Leoanon Valley and Franklin and Marshall go, more promising prep school material the fall than I did here at Pennsyl- vania.
 "All the colleges in the east this year are feeling the lack of strong reserves No longer can you look over squad and see uniformly big men and plenty of them. There are only ss football players here. I can remember when almost a hum dred turned out.
 "Of all the eastern colleges only Yale seems to attlact promising youngsters. Harvard doesn't seem to get them as consistently as for merly. nor Princeton either. It is definite lack of which coaches are well aware and, in fact. discuss fre- quently among themselves.
 Pennsylvania's hopes this season lie for the most part in eleven husk- ies capable Of holding their own in almost any company But there seems to be little left on the bench after the varsity takes the field.
 Facing a schedule that lines up Penn State, Navy. Chicago. Har- ward. Columbia and Cornell for sue cessive games. Pennsylvania has four fine backs and seven sturdy linemen. The rest is problematicaI.
 There are Paul Scull. the captain, Paul Murphy. John Shober. and who may be sensation. Dick Gentle, for the backheld. All can run, kick and pass above the ordinary and Shober is a sterling field general.
 In the line Young has Westgate. last years center. and two power- full guards in Walter Magai and Ralph Monk. John Smith. one tackle. just missed the All-America last fall and ''Bull'' Utz is almost as strong. Joe Olexy. fresh from the coal mines. and Bull Buck, a rangy giant. have first call on the ends.
 But don't mention injuries and what might happen if these men are ost or the bogie man 'of Franklin Field most cerf ainlv will get yo,i
