his 11th season as unpaid baseball | coach at Pennsylvania, pr Walter
 l.. Cariss, '05, has found nothing but trouble thus far, but he persists in believing that things are not as
 bad as they might be. On top Of losing his entire 1890 infield through graduation, the veteran instructor
 learned last week that he would have to get along this year without the services of Cosmos J. Caniglia. '31, all-league catcher for the last two season, who is deficient in his studies.
 Pennsylvania pressed the cham pion Dartmouth nine through most of the 1880 race but fell away at the finish to not-too-close second, ahead of Yale, Columbia, Cornell! and Princeton. The failure of the Red and Blue last year was due to the defensive collapse of the veteran infield, but the good doctor would be only too glad to take another chance upon the Messrs Callaghan, Wilner, Walker and Becker if only they could return to Franklin Field.
 A large part of Dr Cariss' cheer fulness is due to the presence on the squad of two of the best pitchers in the Eastern Intercollegiate and James N. Peterson. '31. both right-handers. Carl J. Perina, '33, of Irvington. N. J., has won first call on Caniglia's old job and has won it in such fashion that the veteran coach is inclined to enthuse, even though the loss of Caniglia is 8 great one.
 Carlsten to Infield
 To solve the infield deficiency pr Cariss has called Captain Rolf N. Carlsten. '31, in from center field to second base to fill the shoes of Nor ton H. Wilner, 80, twice captain of the Red and Blue nine Carlsten, a 1851 hitter in league games last year. had experience on the infield while playing at De Witt Clinton High School in New York.
 Supporting the Penn captain will be George H. Martens. '33, at first base; Richard S. Dennison, '32, at si. short. and Harry Hendler. 's2, at third. Dennison, hailing from Thayer Academy and Quincy, Mass, had some experience on the varsity last year, breaking into two league games, and the other two new corners on the infie1d had fine rec ords with the 1880 team. Walter R. Brownback, '33. and Lawrence J. Sobel, '32, an other New York boy from Dewitt Clinton, will constitute the first line of infield reserve.
 With Captain Calsten removed to the inner defense, the only veteran remaining in the outfield is William s. Graubner. '32, batting champion In the league a year ago with an average of an even .500 and all- league right fielder. Graupner will play center field this year and will be flanked by Jerry Ford. '32, in right, and Henry Cressman, '33, in left Because of his exceptional hit ting ability Masters probably will replace Ford in right field when not engaged on the mound.
 McLOughlin Hits Hard
 Francis J. Mclaughlin. '31. from St. Johns High School in Brooklyn, has been hitting the ball hard in practice and doubtless will win a reserve outfield berth. Mclaughlin has ambitions toward playing first base but his defensive work at the busy corner thus far has not been altogether satisfactory.
 In addition to his two aces, Mas ters and Peterson, Dr Cariss will have an abundance of pitching material. Alexander Uhka, '31, and David l.. Rosenberg, '32. third De Witt Clinton representatives, are holdovers from the runnerup team Of 1880 and are certain to be re- tained on the squad. Besides all these, three of the five pitchers who reported from the freshman squad have shown enough promise to war rant their being retained on the squad. They are John Paul Pow hida of Glens Falls, N. Y. and Rob- ert G. Kelly and John L. Jackson of Philadelphia. Vincent Harring- ton. '32. freshman star two years ago who failed to report last year. also will be with the varsity squad. out staff of eight men.
 The chances of an almost entirely new team ordinarily would he some thing of problem. but Franklin Field enthusiasts are looking to pr Cariss to keep the pace. in the East ern Intercollegiate eLague this year
