Philadelphia, August IT - A more diversified offense with de- ception as the dominating factor will be employed by the University of Pennsylvania football team this season, according to Harvey Har- man, head coach of the eleven.
 Football will be faster and more deceptive this fall than it has ever been, in the opinion of the Red and Blue mentor. The old days of the crashing 220 pound, fullback. of the three line bucks and a punt have fallen before speedy. maneuvering of the ball among the backs, and the for ward pass.
 The shift which has been used successfully by many teams in the past will be more extensively in evidence this fall than 1t was last, according to Harman, who plans to use q double shift in his cam paisn of deception. Last season the team used a modified shift in several games with varying suc- cess. This fall, however, Harman expects to make the movement an important cog In his offense.
 More Kicks, More Tricks
 Spinners, double and triple re- verses and all the other plays that keep opposing elevens on the Qui. vive, will be in Pennsylvafia's re- pertoire this fall. And the kicking game that proved 50 effective last fall will be utilized more this sea- son.
 Three veteran backs, Donald Kellett, William Shanahan and Edward Lewis, are expected to occupy key positions in Pennsyl. vania's offense. The first named Is one of the best punters the Red and Blue has had in years. His ability to place, kicks out of bounds in the corners of the field was one of the most powerful offensive weapons Pennsylvania had last sea- son. In addition to his puntins ability, Kellett Is a forward passer of more than average ability.
 Shanahan, who played his first season on the varsity last fall, Is a capable ball carrier and can pass and punt. He ranks second to Kel- lett In his ability to place the ball in the corners while his passing in several games last fall stamped him as a dangerous foe for any team.
 Lewis, the number ? back, was the interfering, blocking and de- fensive star of last seasons back field. He seldom carries the ball, does not punt or pass but when interference is needed or an op- posing play stopped, Lewis is usu- ally found capable of meeting the demand. ae
 TO fill the shoes of Masavage, Munger. Pefina, Collis and Ed wards. all of whom graduated, Harnian will depend on isopho- more and junior varsity players from last season. Mel Chamber are the only three players among the candidates who have had varsity experienced
 Chamberlin and Lima are ex- pected to wage 8 keen duel for the fullback position while Trerotola will more than likely be under study to Lewis.
 Promising
 Among the sophomores who may help fill the voids caused by grad uation are Maxwell Forrest, David Kaufman ad Frank Kardevan, fullhacks; Harry Gentner, g half back; Josiah McCracken, quarter back, and Charles Ricksecker, and Dorran Brown, halfbacks.
 The squad of backs numbering approximately fifteen is one of the lightest Pennsylvania has had in years. The heaviest in the squad is Frank Kardevan. who weights 1S5 pounds. The lightest is. Me- Cracken, who tips the scales at 160 pounds. Most of the remainder average between 170 and 186 pounds.
 Ksllett and Lewis weigh slightly Shanahan during the season will weigh less than 180 pounds. What the squad lacks in avoirdupois is more than made up by the speed and general all around ability of the individuals.
