KING STANDS OUT AS NEW TACKLE
 ON PENN ELEVEN
Harman Satisfied Charges Are Ready for First Contest

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-Satisfied that the first team nas a proper understanding of the new offense and that defensively 1t can hold it's own, the University of Pennsyl- vania football coaching staff plans to concentrate on the development of reserve material during the next two weeks that remain before the opening game of the season.
 The improvement of Paul King, a sophomore, at the tackle po- sition vacated by Howard Cole hover, has made the first team line appear as strong extensively as was last years combination at the open- ing of the season.
 Barring any unexpected occur rences, King will share the tackle play with Carl Palombo. The for- mer who weighs 190 pounds, has fitted into the first team line com bination with all the ease and grace of veteran. He has developed the speed the coaching staff has been searching for ever since prac- tice started three weeks ago.
 While King Is being closely pressed for the position by Ed- ward Hopkinson and Joseph Burk, veteran substitutes and by Paul Stofko, q sophomore changed over from Q center, there is little like- iihood of his being supplanted be- fore the first game of the season with Franklin and Marshall on Oc- tober IA.
 Two Line Stars
 The splendid showing of King Is not alone responsible for the coach- ing staff's satisfaction with the first team line. Bob McCaffrey, kept out of scrimmage drills for two weeks because of an early sum mer operation for appendicitis, re- turned to action during the third week of practice and gave a dem- onstration of offensive and defen- sive play that brought optimistic comment srom the coaches.
 For the past two seasons Mccall frey has been q substitute seeing action in every game but starting few. This year he is destined for regular duty from the start of the season.
 With McCaffrey and King lifting some of the worries off the brows of the coaches and with Cy New comb back in the fold after Q series of phyical examinations, the coaches will turn their attention to developing Q substitute for Engle, at center; two tackle reserves, an- other guard reserve and two block ing interfering backs.
 Last week George Kerr. who started as an end was switched to center. He is new to the position and as Q result, Judgment must be withheld on his future possibilities. The two other center candidates, Goldstein and Hewitt, lack experi- ence.
 Paul stofko, one of the best de- fensive linemen in the entire squad may prove to be one Of the an. swers to the substitute tackle problem if he improves in his of. fensive line play. Weighing over 190 pounds Stofko is ono of the strongest players wearing the Red and Blue. If he can find Q way to use his power in opening holes In opposing lines he Is certain to play considerable football this fall.
 No Knee Trouble
 Paul Cresei, a substitute last sea- son, is the best of the reserve guards. He is playing q better brand of football this season than last because of an operation on his knee that has brought back ths speed he lacked in 1032.
 Three good ends and two others not far behind in ability make the wing problem easy of solution. John Powel and John Pennypack- CT will start the season as first string players with Bill Dougherty able to replace either with little loss to the efficiency of the team. John Neiil and Jim Bradford, sophomores, are good substitutes now.
 In the backneld the need of an- other fullback to assist John Lima and Mel Chamberlin has been ap. parent since the start of practice. Neither is burly enough to stand the rlgors of full game. Max Forrest, q sophomore, may bo the first team fullback before long if he continues to batter opposing lines as he did last week.
 Among the halfback hopefuls in the reserve class are Frank kar- devan, Josiah McCracken and Charles Ricksecker. only Nc. Cracken has exhibited varsity abil-
