Penn has been going through some
real Spring workouts, and actually IS
developing its plays and team for next
Fall with real regard for teamwork.
Three practice games have been staged
already and it is expected that one or
two more will be Franklin and Mar
shall has been met twice and Villanova
once. And unquestionably the Penn
team will be in far better shape next
Fall because of the workouts it now is
getting. When the squad takes the
field in September it should dc so al
most as if it we're continuing an I'M
interrupted practice.
Bennett was very lavish in his praise
of three Penn backs. 1t is his opinion
that these. men should perform bril-
liantly next Fall and be among the top
notch players of the country. The men
he thinks are so good are Gentry, Ford
and Stoney, the last mentioned having
been a member of the freshman team
last Fall.
"You watch this chap Ford and also
Gentry and Stoney," says Bennett, be
cause if they are not among the great
players of next Fall then I am OH in
my Judgment of good men. Stoney
is conner. and, Of course, Gentry was
a fine player last season. Ford, to my
mind, probably will be the best of
them. although that does not seem to
be the prevailing opinion. Anyway,
Penn has the best all-round foot ball
squad have ever watched in practice
and should do great things"
Benefits idea of foot ball in the
South is that next years teams should
be among the best ever developed In
this section. He thinks that Wander
bilt will have one of the two or three
strongest elevens and that North Caro-
lima and Tennessee should be right
up with Vanderbilt. These three
schools seem to stand out in his mind.
Don't let anybody tell you, though"
says the Sewanee man, that Southern
foot ball squads are as strong as teams,
or are made up Of as good material, as
the Northern colleges. They just are
not. I saw more foot ball material
in the Penn squad yesterday than l
have ever seen on any two SQUADS IN
the South Foot ball, generally speak
ing, but especially in point OF material,
still is quite distance behind FOOT
ball in the Middle West and North, and
probably will continue to be for some
wears to come. The average Southern
team will lose more often than 1t wins
from the average Northern team and
the strong Southern team will lose more
often than it wins from the strong
Northern elevens. Southern nigh
schools. and prep schools simply are
not turning out as good maCerlal IoI
college elevens as the big high and prep
schools of the North"
Georgetown added its ninth stralght
victory on the diamond yesterday by
trimming Harvard to 2. The Blue
and Gray scored two runs in the third
and two more in the fourth, which
gave it a margin 1t held until the game
was ended. It was anybody's game. at
that, until the last inning was finished,
because Page pitched just about as good
ball as Poole, the Blue and Gray hurler.
The Crimson man allowed only five
hits while Harvard made seven on
Poole. Mccarthy and Dunn, with two
hits each, made four out of the flve
safeties registered by Georgetown bat.
tiers off Page. Dunn also made great
play in the eighth when he nipped
a Harvard rally by a one-hand stop
back of the pitchers box that resulted
in an out at first. Mays, Ticknor and
Wood. stars of Harvard's foot ball team
last Fall, were in the lineup. Ticknor
was all-American center.
