If tlio newspaper Utterances of the
middle Western press represent tlio real
fellngs of tlio Michigan players and
coaches, rind they probably approach It,
then the Michigan team mUBt underesti
mate the University of Pennsylvania
Whoso team they tackle on Saturday nt
Vnn Arbor. Tlio fact of tlio matter Is,
Michigan men consider that wltnt they
did to Harvard last week merits tho bc-
rllef that tho Malzo and Blue of Michigan
-was better than tho Harvard Crimson.
! They went to Cambridge with tho belief
, that they hadn't a chanco to win, and
behold they actually outplayed Harvard,
and, according to some nonpartisan
, critics, should liavo won tho gnmo by a
score of 10-7. You can't blame them.
Btherefore, for feeling that tho Pennsylva
nia game won't bo very hard.
Everybody In this section knows that
Pennsylvania has been playing nn erratic
Egaine all season, but the team may eiprlng
fa surprise and Michigan will do well not
to consider tho gamo won so quickly.
Tho Pennsylvania players nro beginning
Eto reallzo that they liavo a chanco on
Saturday to mako themselves famous by
boating Michigan, and thereby causing
the collego world to forget their early
season record. Out In tho training quar
ters the conches nave displayed In u
prominent placo tho Injunction "Heat
Mlchlagn." That Is what they aro go
ing to try to do, and If spirit counts for
anything Pennsylvania hoa the gamo half
won already.
Michigan players wero surprised thnt Har
vard didn't mnko moro uie or tho forward pas
and end-running gamo. That Is tho sort of
attack they aro looking for from Pennsylvania.
They don't think that tho Quakers enn do any
Breat execution on Una plays, and thoy
wouldn't bo worried about end runs If their
own ends wero better. Coach Yost Tns not
satlsflod with the work of his enda In tho
Harvard game and Is now working to Improve
them.
Assuming that Pennsylvania and Michigan
line up as thoy did last Saturday, the Quak
ers wilt outweigh Michigan for the first tlmo
since thoy romime.l football relations, In 11)011.
Tho nvorngo weight of the Michigan team Is
ITT pounds, that of Pennsylvania 1S1 pounds.
Michigan, however, has a decided advantage
In the greater experience of her players.
There aro five men on tho Michigan team
playing their first year of varsity football
and seven on the Pennsylvania team wearing
the Ited and Iilue for the first time. Michi
gan has four met playing their serond year
nnrt two Dlnying tho third vear. Pennsvlvnnln
t.has three playing their second year and only
I Theso facta are set forth in tho following

Tho average weight of tho Michigan Is
1ST pounds, opposed to 101 pounds for Penn
sylvania. In the backfleld the Michigan
quartet averages 153 pounds to 1(13 pounds
for Pennsylvania. TJila gives Michigan an
average for the whole team of ITT pounds to
181 pounds for Pennsylvania. The curious
feature of these weights Is that tho Mlchlgnn
backfleld la so extremely light. We have
been so In the habit of Beelng powerful men
back of the line for Michigan that this quartet
it men, who average only 1S3 pounds. Is amai-
: ing, Yet we havo tho record of what they
'accomplished against Harvard, so it Is pretty
certain mat ioicn lost taut aiarmeq over
their lack of weight.
It la hard to realize that the highly pro
gressive Michigan management will not num
ber Its players for the Pennsylvania game.
The Quaker management wrote to Michigan
soma time ago asking If It was desired that
the Quaker players should be numbered. Tills
reform hasn't struck the Mlchlcan campus.
I so tho Pennsylvania players won't use their
I numbered Jerseys,
I Tne Cornell team nas consented to number
I Its nlaver for tha ThanVsirUlnir Ttv tramm
land the Quaker management expects the
llthsrans to paint the numbers on their Jerseys

gooa ioea to wear numoera on mo rronts as
Iwsll as on the backs of Jerseys T Sometimes
la spectator will wait for a long time to get
an unobstructed view of a player)! number.
una since mo inatoau men aro copying the
track athletes, they might as well use the
double number ayatem as Is dons In the Inter
collegiate cross-country championship runs.
' CAMUnitKlK, Mass., Nor. 4. Harvard's
practice In the stadium yesterday was dlrect-d
toward the Princeton game. The varsity,
nhlch lined un as it did veaterdav and ai it
rdoubtless will start against the Titers worked
tor a long time on Its offense, which It re
oearsed In an easy scrlmmago against the
vanity substitutes. This drill over, tha scrubs
wero sent against tne regulars, putting up the
Princeton style of offense. There was no tack
ling In this scrimmage, but the defense for
all the plays was carefully laid and wll be
isrrcngtncneq during ine next two days.
MfN ARBOR. Mich., Nor. 4. Yost gave the
first definite indication yesterday afternoon
that he will go through with his reported shift
In the Michigan backfleld when ho put llastlan
in at right halfback In tha long signal drill.
The other men, Norton and Quail, whom
rumor says will trot out with tha aralty for
the Penn game Saturday, were still occupying
filacea on tha second eleven when It lined up
aat night,
PRINCETON, N. JNov. 4. Everything
pointed toward the game with Harvard In the
Princeton scrimmage yesterday afternoon. A
long tlmo was spent carrying punts with tha
sun In the eyes of tho receiver, and a. con
siderable portion of the scrimmage was devoted
to defense against the Crimson formation. All
of the regulars participated in the melee of
mora than an hour's duration.
EASTON, Pa., Nov. 4. Coach Crowell gave
his candidates a long signal practlre on March
Field yesterday afternoon and followed it with
a long tun. There as no scrimmage even
for the third and fourth teams. The rough
draft of the team that will play against
Muhlenberg on Saturday ahows quite a sur

A stadium rnpablo of seating 7,'i 000 person
would put Philadelphia nt the top In nthletlM
In this country. Kviry great contest could
bo s'aged here when tlio matter of seats was
a factor. , ,.
In tlio event of world's scries games, the
Army-Nay football gamo and International

Ideal placo, and It would take only a snort
time to pay for Itself.
Probably no bigger a'lrprlsa will be sprung

of llelfleld makes tho situation of Merlon nt

Grmantown second robbed Merlon second of a
point by drawing with them.
The growing popularity of noccer In Phila

While there aro many followers of sports who
aro at present not interested in noccer itseit,
theso will bu won over In tho course of time.
One ot the beauties nt soccer Is thnt It will

season slightly overlaps the football und base
ball seasons, but the majority of games aro
plaed during the winter months, when real

Uaikethall Is plaed at night almost exclu

No Secrets for

Tlllly Murray was on thn bench man

Murray. A butter reached llrst Coeleskle
took a long wind up. and. almost beforo
he pitched, the runner raced to second,
getting such a lend the catcher could not

Cdtclcsklo reached tho bench Billy de
manded: Why dld'nt jou catch that follow on first

"What follow on first?" Inquired Covy.
"That guy thnt stole second."
"No one told ine there was a runnor

Hilly was dased for un InBtant. Then,
turning ho shunted angrily:
"llre jou, Knalie, Uoolan, Tlransfleld

WOMEN GOLFERS
OPPOSE LIMIT
OF AGE RULING
Local Players Not in Favor
of Keeping Girls Under
Sixteen From Competing in
Tournaments.
Many prominent women, members of
clubs nfllliated with tho Women's Eastern
Golf Association, do not believe that tho
rule passed by tho AVomcn's Western
Golf Association, which bars girls under
1C from tournament competition, . Rood
one. It seems to ba the consensus of
opinion In tho Unst, and particularly In
Philadelphia and vicinity, that such action
Is ridiculous.
At tho annual meeting of the Western
Golf Association, held recently, this mat
ter was thoroughly discussed and the
new rulo decided upon. Heretofore tho
minimum ago has been 14 years.
As tho Western association has extend
ed Its territory so that the boundary line
now Includes all northern Minnesota, all
States west and south of Maryland and
nil territory west of a line drawn south
through Buffalo, N. V., to the southern
line of Pennsylvania. It will be seen that
the ruling will affect many players In
their 'teens within the district of the
Eastern Golf Association.
One of the most prominent golfers In
tha Cast, and a member of the Execu
tive Committee of the Eastern Golf As
sociation, when asked her opinion of the
new rule, said: "It la absolutely ridicu
lous to my mind. There is no age, so far
as I know. In the Women's Eastern Oolf
Association. I think It would be a great
mistake to pass such a rule. Take for
Instance the brilliant showing of little
Miss Sterling1, tho Georgia girl, In our re
cent tournaments."
"Miss Sterling competed In the na
tional championship and Is a player ot
unusual ability. She Is hardly IG. It
would not seem fair to bar her. She
played beautiful golf. In England young
girls about that age play splendid goir,
and are quite as good, If not better, than
many other players more advanced In
years. I think it is very silly, and have
never heard ot such a thing In the East
ern Golf Association."
Mrs. Clarence II. Vanderbeck, member
nf the Philadelphia Cricket and the Hun
tingdon Valley Country Club, was quite
. ., , J-.lnTIO h.,D.Tf nnnl.tnt -. '
empnawc iu ..,, a ,, mbm,,, ,y
such rule. Mrs. Vanderbeck is a mem
ber of the Executive Committee of the
Kastern Golf Association and one of the
best players In this section, ranking high
with such golfers as Mrs, Ronald II, Bar
low, Mrs. Caleb P. Fox and Miss Grlscom.
Mrs. Vanderbeck was much amused
when she heard of the rule passed by
the Western women. While she taught
ingly admitted that such a rule would
not "bother roe much," she expressed the
opinion that It was not a good rule for
many reasons, and that she was not In
favor of U. Mrs.Vanderbeok'a opinion
seems to express the general idea of the
better golfers In the Bast. The girls
about U or 16 years old woo have been
encouraged to play tournament koU and
who are quite adept In tbe gasae will
probably have mere strenuous objeettons
to offer.

BROOKEDRlVES
TEAM HARD IN
FINAL PRACTICE
Scrubs Given Michigan
Plays to Use Against Penn
Varsity Twenty-five
Players to Go.
The University of Pennsylvania football
team took its last home practice on
Franklin Field this afternoon before
starting for Michigan tomorrow noon,
where the Quakers will battle with the
Wolverines on Saturday. The tinal work
out was one of the haidest of the week
and the coaches didn't spare any of the
cterans.
The scrubs were given the Michigan
plays and worked them to the best of
their ability against the regulars. The
entire coaching staff, augmented by e
Captaln Greene, of the 1908 team, who
was In a suit, worked over the varsity,
criticising Individual performances and
also the team work.
It Is fortunate for the Quakers that
all the players are In the best of con
dltlon. Trulner Dwyer stated this after
noon that he was delighted with the
condition of his men, and that If he
could only start them In their present
fi-rm he would be greatly worried over the
result. Not a coach, though, will hazard
a nreulctloii over the nuifntn. Tha in.
struotors, however, havo goaded the pla-
h ui! to sucn an extent mat tney Believe
they will win.
The X pUyers who will comprise the
varsity squad, accompanied by hair a
dozen coaches and undergraduate man
agers, will leave for Ann Arbor tomor
row noon. The students are arranging
to give them a royal send-off.
So great is the interest In the outcome
of the came that during the progress
of the Pennsylvania-Yale soccer game,
which will be played on Franklin Field
that afternoon, every play at Michigan
will be reproduced on a big scoreboard.

West Philadelphia Captain Slow to
Recover From Injury.
West Philadelphia High will reall-e
little from Captnln Wngenknlght In Its)
games with Northeast and Central High
this month, The plucky little quarter
back, who sustained a broken bona In his
shoulder early in the season, can hardly
get Into playing shape In the short tlma
that now remains before the final con
tests of tho season, nnd will In all prob
ability watch his schoolmates battle from
the side lines. This Is a death blow to
tho West Phillies' hopes of a scholastic
football title this year, for whllo Gills
has proved a capable substitute, he can
hardly be expected to get the results that
W'ugenknlglit has accomplished In his
short trial at the position.
