TACKLES PROVE NEW GRID WORRY
 FOR PENN COACH


 Philadelphia, Sept With only one veteran ,candidate available, Pennsylvania's fate on the grid. iron this fall may rise or fall on the ability displayed by It's tackle can. didates.
 Nine members of the squad of forty.five that has been summoned for preliminary practice on Sep tember IS, at Camp Wyomissing, in the Poconos. are listed as tackle candidates. Of the number only Carl Palombo, of Lynn, Mass, has had the experience necessary to the development of varsity tackle.
 Both Stanley sokolis and How. regular tackle posts last year and June. The last named was expect ed to return this fall but he com. pleted his four year course in ey, first string substitute for three CuHI VuiBnbp u'bO tVDlPiStSt hio gridiron career last fall.
 Only One Vet
 With the exception of Paiombo, only two of the candidates were members of the varsity squad last season. Joseph Durk, who has been on the first varsity crew for the past two years, was used in a number of games as a substitute and gave encouraging exhibitions He weighs close to 190 pounds and Is one of the most rugged players in the entire squad.
 The other substitute Is Edward Hopkinson, 3rd, whom Coach Har- man regards as one of the best of the prospects. Last year, like Burk, he was usod in number of games and displayed promise He has all the physical requisites necessary for the position. When the season gets under way, Hop- kinson will weigh in the neighbor. hood of 200 pounds, and will stand six feet three inches in his stocking feet.
 Of the newcomers, Paul King! former Lancaster high school all around athlete. stands out as the most promising. Last fall as--a member of the freshman team he was the star of the yearlings for ward wall. He is built along the lines of Ed Mckinley, who was an All-American tackle 'at Pennsyl- vania in 1924. King will tip the scales at 190 pounds in playing condition. In the spring, King tossed the javelin over 190 feet. Arthur Darnbrough, who last year played right guard on the freshman eleven, will try out Tor tackle post. While the lightest of all the candidates,-he weighs 175 pounds, Darnbrough is ex- pected to make up for his lack or avoirdupois by his aggressiveness.. Robert Detwiler, who scales PIP pounds and was a member Of the | junior varsity eleven last fall; Wes- ley Tansere, whosstarted as an end and played tackle with the junior varsity; Daniel Mister. who did not play last season and Howard Wool ley, a 19O pounder from the jay wees, are the other tackle candi- dates.
 Hard Luck
 There IS pOssiDiity that boo McCaffrey, veteran guard. may be shifted to tackle. Last June the former local All-Scholastic star was operated on for appendicitis and as a result he has not en- gagged in strenuous exercise this summer. Coach Harman plans to start McCaffrey out as a guard and If the tackle candidates do not measure up to expectations. to change him to q tackle by the time the season gets under way.
 From the days of John Outland. in 1897. down through Otis Lam- son, 1905: Dexter Draper. 1907: John Thurman. 1929 and Edward flake. and John smith. 1927. Penn syivania has been rich in outstand- | ing tackles. From among this years crop of candidates one may develop to join the ranks Of the lmmortais of the past. If SO. Penn syiyania will make it interesting on the aridiron for such teams as Dartmouth. Navy. Penn State. faf. l aFetlk. Ohio State. and EoSnQff.
