The P's and Q'so
Football a Ia C0rk


On Tuesday evening I gave sou
little dope on q few Of the to-
teams Of the East, and tonight
hope to continue and to finish up On
Monday night with the East. of
course this picture Of the "x3S grid
season which I am trying 70 paint
for you through these articles may
be too detailed, but In order TO e1t
the best and most accurate picture
Of what think win be one Of foot
balls greatest years you must have
all the picture or none Of Il.
PENNSYLVANIA: - Penn. after
winding up q comparatively good
season last year, that Is as far IS
seasons 60, winning losing 3 end
tying !, puts to sea, on q very
rough sea, as one might say on Sept.
25th when they battle 1t out face 70
face with a supposedly superior
Princeton eleven. This first game
will really be their first and last
test as to what they are going TO 90
for the rest Of the season, as they
lost most Of their prospects to the
Armed Forces and have not received
much in the. way Of announcements
up to now from other available
sources. OF course mind you I am
not saying that Penn. is out, but
that her future season for 1o43 de-
ponds on what she has 10 show,
and how she shows IL In the Prince
ton game on Sept. 25th. Sort OF d
Dark Horse Just like Willkie, Ell
what
YALE:-Coach HOWE Odell using
something that might either prove
mighty fatal or greatly beneficial,
that is depending on q light line, 4
fast and maneuverable backfieId,
and few reconstructed offensive
plays to gain the yardage necessary
to bring them through each con-
test successfully. OF course this
newly constructed tactical often
sive course brought forth by Odell
has Its possibilities II his backfield
10 as fast as he thinks II Is and also
II 1t always one step ahead Of the
opponents rear outpost. Muhlenberg
their opponent on Saturday win
feature strong line as well as 3 fast
backfield, and II the blue and white
can nose out Of that oncoming gale
their new tactical strategy ought
to prove wonders.
PRINCETON: - Princetan after
having only what could be called d
fair season last year by winning .
losing 5 and tying !, once again
finds itself in O position to take the
spotlight In the East II it handles
itself wisely. With some Of their
backfield returning and some good
material to pick from, with tile
Via stationed there they have
good chance Of combining q strong
line and backfield into q power
house that will not be stalled easily.
But under these conditions Il Is
doubtful II they VIII be able to re-
tain their power men until they
play Penn. on Sept. 26th. But II q
my bet that they win manage 10
handle the manpower situation,
enough at least to enable them 70
shape q good name for themselves
this season.
BROWN:-Brown University that
little school tucked away down
there In Providence Rhode Island.
is not heard from by the majority
Of you readers probably from win
ter through summer, but In the fall
around the first Of November. She is
known to all football fans In Com
necticut and probably several other
Of the New England States, that Is
when she plays her annual hangup
game Of football with Yale down ct
the Yale Bowl. And all that 60 to
see those games realize that Brown.
although small college is IN be-
hind her athletics, especially foot
bali, with her heart and her all.
Because many year have we gone
down to the Yale Bowl expecting 70
see the greatly favored Yale hand
little Brown trouncing, but when
the final gun reverberated through
out the length and breadth Of the
Bowl that little Brown was on the
top end Of the score through the

sons.
Once again Brown in the War
Year of 194S is coming up with =
top-notch team, which when it gets
started will be the equal to the MAJ
jority If not all her opponents.
With the majority of their linesmen
back and very nifty backfield
made up Of Lou Daukas. and john
ny Pattee, probably holding the
fullback positions. and other top
performers working together to
make a very fast grid combination.
When they play Holy Cross ON Oct.
2nd We will see Just how that small
College with a supposedly Iron
Glad" gridiron machine VIII hold up
against the Crusaders who are not
