CLASS IN
new MATERIAL
FOR PENN ELEVEN

Camp Wyomissing, Pa, Sept II.
Judging by the three days OF
practice during which little rough
work was INDUCED in the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania football team
that opens It's season on October
IL. with Franklin and Marshall,
Will be composed of veterans or
substitutes Of last years eleven.
Thus far few OF the newcomers
have displayed sufficient all
around ability to be seriously con-
sidcred for places on the first
eleven. However, before tho
opening whistle OF the season,
there Ii a strong possibility that
several Of the new men after they
have learned the intricaoies OF the
system employed by Coach Harvey
Hartman, will give the veterans
o keen duel for regular positions.
The fate OF about six OF the
candidates for the squad will be
settled next week when the first
intensive scrimmage drills will be
held. Hartman expects to carry
Approximately SIS players on his
varsity squad, which Is six less
than the number OF candidates In
camp.
No Chance Yet
Rating the candidates ut this
early stage OF practice Is not easy.
principally because tho players
have not had real opportunity
to show their individual ability UNI
der the fire OF scrlmmage. How
ever. each player has given some
Indication OF his future value to
the team In the rudimentary drills
and In tho signal drills.
From the showing Of the ends,
John Pennypackcr and John
Powell, both OF whom played In
every game last season, stand out
az the best OF the wingmen. John
Neill, freshman star last year;
George Kerr. who was on the junior
varsity squad ana Bill Dougherty,
letter winner as q substitute In
1882, are all regarded as varsity
timber.
Roy Engle, captain Of tho team.
stands out head and shoulders
over theh other center candidates.
He 10 regarded by the coaching
stan as one OF the best pivots In
the East. Following the captain
are Paul Stoke, freshman guard
last year but prep school cen
Quay Hewitt, who also played
with the yearlings In 1889.
The tackle problem Is acute
with only one veteran Of varsity
ability. Carl Palomba, Weighing
over 220 pounds and In the best OF
condition Of his career, 10 assured
one Of the posts. The other will
remain open until one Of the fol-
lowing candidates displays more
ability than the other COMPETE
tors: Edward Hopkinson, 3rd;
Joseph Burk, substitutes and let.
ter winners year, ago; Paul King,
freshman star of 1882 and Arthur
Darnbroughs q yearling guard last
season.
The guard situation is not as
serious as would be expected after
the loss Of three veterans. The
return OF Cy Newcomb, who has
not played since 1880, has lifted
q tremendous weight off the shout
ders Of the coaching staff. Bob
McCaffrey, first string substitute
last season has entirely recovered
from the appendix operation that
laid him low last June and should
team with Newcomb, at least at
the start OF the campaign. Paul
Cresci, substitute last year and
BOD P0well, shifting from center,
are other guard possibilities.
Fair Start
In the backfield Hartman has
four players upon whom he is
counting. Don Kellett. punter,
passer and ball carrier, has the
quarterback assignment now and
will probably retain 1t for the sea-
son. Bill Hhanahan ana Ed Lewis,
veterans Of last season. are hold
ing down the halfback posts with
John Lama, at fullback. All four
are ietetrmen from last season,
Lima being the only one not 70 be
used In every game.
For the reserve positions Coach
Hartman rates the following In the
second class; Josiah McCracien,
Henry .Rauch, quarterbacks; Dcr-
ran Brown, Nick Trerotola and
Charles Hicksecker. halfbacks and
Max Forrest. fullbaek. The other
possibilities include Ralph EerdI-
nand and Harry Geutnef, half.
backs ana Frank KaFdeyan ana
David Kaufman, fulibaoks.
