BA81CD j alii mi wlwft the 1'enn and Lafayette teams have shown to date, to
morrow's frame between Hicm two elevens would not attract moro than pass- '
Ink taterert, m "term' nwkea the Red and Blue a heavy favorite; but as a tnatler '
t Mt tBinurroT' la by far the moat important day of the season for Coach llob
wilt. Tho result ef the name doe not mean so much os-tho Pitt contest did
Mt Salard, fewt the Tenn 'team Is at the crossroads and tomorrow will be the
hot teet day.
It wilt' be Jewell's last chance to exporlment, as the most Important g-amos
rf the Season, those wkh Dartmouth, MIchlBan and Cornell, follow, and there will
fee no other chance to try out players or plays. Folwoll has not been able to slrlko
i the proper backfleld combination, unless tho backs merely had an off day against
rut, and tomorrow he will have a charrco to switch his line-up about, hoplns'to
strike a combination with greater offensive power than has been shown to dato.
There also will be somo experimenting done in the lino. There Is llttlo cause
r to 'worry Weut the line, providing the regulars are nblo to bo tho full distance as
e4iy"aa they have In tho preliminary samea; but tho substltuto forwards nro
green and untried, and It absolutely Is necessary to slvo them a little work In a
re-gnlar game If Folwell hopes to have them In good shapo In caso somo of tho
'regular forwards are Injured.
'' Woe Penn beat State It seemed as If tho backflcld problem had been solved
with Light at quarter, Derr and Williams at hnlfback and Berry at fullback, but
i the ritt ffamo brought out "somo glaring weaknesses that convinced Folwell that
a, change was necessary If l'eMk hopes to finish tho season In a blazo of glory.
Ejerry's Injured knee Is mcndJR rapidly, but onco a football player has knee
trouble he la likely to bo put out of commission at any time, and It Is necessary
to develop not one? but two, capable utility men for fullback, which lstho most
Important position on. the team under tho Folwell systom.
Folwell Looking for a Field , General
TIGHTS questionable Judgment in directing the team against Pitt convinced
1 . Folwell that the Lebanon lad la not tho man to call tho signals, but Light
has so many strong points that tho Penn coach feels that It Is necessary to
Utilise them somewhere, and his failure at quarterback probably will at( least re
ult in solving the fullback problem. If Jimmy Bryant can make good at quar
terback Penn will bo In better shapo than it appeared to be after beating Stato.
But there is that IF.
1 Inferior genoralshlp will wasto natural offenslvo power, and It la Imperative
that .Folwell should produce a quarterback who can keep his wits about him and
011 for the proper plays. He bejloves that Bryant, who has not as much natural
ability as Light, will solve the problem, but that remains to bo seen. "While play
ing With tho freshman team last season Bryant was considered a clover team
director, but, there is a vast difference between running a team that is meeting
" .scholastic and inexperienced collegians and directing the play of a big college
eleven against powerful opponents.
. , The repertoire of a freshman team Is similar to that of a high Bchool eleven,
""V and tho quarterback not onfy has fewer plays to think about, but he also docs not
have a powerful, systematic and well-trained defense to penetrate. Every man
tried out at quarterback at Penn In recont years; has been a scholastic star as a
team director, but there really has not been' a high-class team director In the Red
.nd Bluo line-up 'for several seasons.
If Bryant falts to make good on" Saturday it will be too late for Folwell to ex
periment further and ho must choose between Light, a brilliant Individual per-
former who Jacks generalship, and Bert Bell, who Is handicapped by lack of speed
and physical power, but who Is a smart and clever team director, Bell lacks the
Individual power and used questionable Judgment at times in tho Swarthmoro
game, but he is superior to Light as a team director and must nil tho breach if
Bryant falls. Folwell claims that Belt had an oft day .against Swarthmoro and
became slightly rattled, and tho Bed and Blue coach bolleves that the little fellow
can step Into the breach and run the team smoothly if Bryant falls to mako good.
Lnfaycttp Has Planned for Penn Game
MAKING tomorrow test day, with Bert?, a decidedly green tackle, in Captain
Mathews's, place, and tho backfleld changed, with tho brilliant Berry on the
side lines, is an excellent idea, providing Lafayetto continues to play Inferior foot
v 'hnlh but it Is barelv Dosslblo that tho Penn coaches may Co surprised at the
tt' strength of the Eastonlans.
It will be remembered that lost season Lafayette Cot off to'such a poor start
that It was' predicted that Penn would have an easy time with Crowell's team, do-
j spite the fact that the Bed and 'Blue eleven was not playing good football at the
tlme. Lafayette played only two really good "games during tho 1915 season. Those
Srood games were against Penn and Lehigh, and both resulted in easy victories
for Lafayette.
j Up In Boston they are not particular about the result of tho other games on
Pthe Lafayetto schedule" 1 1 long as (ho Penn and Lehlgti games aro won. Last
year Lafayette record for the season was not impressive, but the studont body
look uport1915 as a banner year because both Penn and Lehigh wore beaten.
Coach Crqwell plans for those two contests and an entirely.' new offense was
shown in each game lost fall. Tho result was that the work of the Penn and
Lehigh scouts went for naught Andtho defense planned to stop Lafayctto's plays
was useless. Crowell has a choice lot of trick plays to spring tomorrow and Penn
may not find the Eastonlans as easy as their record would lead one to expect.
Folwell does not Intend to be Influenced by the score. He naturally Is anxious to
win, but la more particular about tho other games on tho schedule ahd will, go
through with his plan to experiment with the offense. a
Another proposed lntersectlonal battle has fallen through. There is no chance
to get the strong Nebraska team to come East The Cornhuskers have one of the
ibst elevens developed in the West, and for the last four seasons have not tasted
defeat. Arrangements were being made to have Nebraska meet either Tufts, Brown
- wr Dartmouth on Braves' Fleld,Pecember 2, but, according to the Missouri Valley
conference rules, games ore forbidden unless played on college fields. A meeting
'between the Cornhuskers and any of the three eastern teams named certainly would
"result In a real buttle.
- . .
'Yesterday' afternoon Coach Folwell had the Ited and Blue squad back at the
-' tackling dummy and It really was surprising how little many of the varsity men
kiiaw about this department. Men who havo been playing 'football at Penn for
' two .or three years did not know tho proper way to tackle, but thero was great
Improvement shown before Folwell, called a halt. It was conclusive proof that'
' jnany of-tke rudiments qf the game were neglected by the coaches In recent years
awl It 'also showed otearjy Jest what Folwell Is up against in trying to build a
winning team In. en season.
'
The result of the three Eastern League basketball games played to date
JjaPoat that the many trades and changes in the line-ups of the six teams have
strengthened the league. Jasper's clean-cut victory over Grey stock last night
was the first surprise of the season, but there are likely to be many more within
the next' few weeks.- There was a time when one hadj little trouble picking the
winner-before the! game, but nil of the teams appear to be evenly matched, with
the possible , exception of DeNeri, which needs strengthening In one or two
portions. '
Korween, Harvard's punting and plunging halfback, Is out of the game for at
tnt three weeks with an Injured, hand, Casey was given most of the credit for
Barrard' uxpet4 one-aided triumph ever Cornell last Saturday, but It later
Aevetopfd that Herween contributed an, much as any Crimson man on the field to
the great eottqueet of Hauahtoa's Improve team. He is the only reliable punter
J thf Crimea aquad, and' muet be nursed carefully by Haughton for the big
with Jrta lea ana Yale, It la unlikely that If Horween Is not In. shapo
Baughtoa avaa would take a chance or sending- him in against either Virginia or

SEVENTY MARK SMASHED TWICE
'ON TWO MERION GOLF COURSES
'. IN TOURNAMENT JUST ENDED
ny SANDY M'NIBLICK
ALL local golf records go to smash for the
A. season before the score turned In by
dolfer J. V. M. ratterson, at Merlon. In a
tournament ended this week ratterson
turned In a card of 62 strokes over the east
course. .
This Is the course where the best tnlcnt
of the country battled for a whole week
.luring tim tilnv fnr tha amateur champion
ship of the United States, and nothing ap
proaching Tatterson's score wns hung up
by any of the contestants. Chick Evans,
.i.i Tz-i.bl.v llnh fSarilner. Hill Fownes
slid others hovered around tho low seventies,
but nono could do better than inau
The cream of America's golfers oply
played over the west course, the sunset
course, one day, but none were able to lo
better than the score of John a. AnderBon,
who"shot a 70 there on qualifying day.
What Tournament?
But now along comes II. W. Smedley, In
the same tourney mentioned abovo, and
turn in a card of 6S over the new course.
Two cards like that In the same tourney
were enough to make any one ask a question
which nearly every one did when the cards
were ported:
"What for tournament Is this,1 anyhow?"
It had been going on for several months
and was the annual Merlon "ringer" tourney.
Many other clubs havo the same kind of
event, but fow have as low scores as those
turned In this week at Merlon, when .the
tournament ended. In his card Patterson
had eight "birds." three going out and five
coming home. He was not over par on a
single hole and his 29 coming home Is a
thlnfl&of beauty, even If It did take all sum
mer to make It
There were many other Incomplete cards
'hung up, the nearest complete card being
that of Q. It. Thomas, Jr., which was for a
78.

of the diligent work put In on the Haver
ford course to build them up.
Frank McAdams, golf storytcller-ln-chlef,
la passing out tho following, among others,
these days. It Is on a local golfer, whose
namo Is here graciously withheld.
The "local golfer" was telling of a vio
lent golf match ho had Just had.
"Th nthr trUnvr wan hlttliur them a
mile off the tee," said the nineteenth hoIeV.
"You never saw such long tee shots, and
they were all straight down tho middle.
He could hit them further with his brossle
than any tfolfcr I have ever seen. Chick
Rvans and the whole bunch of them. He
had perfect control over his Irons and
could hit them on a lino rrom any old
He. On his approach shots-he was a posi
tive wizard. Ho could lay them dead from
anywhere Inside ono hundred yards, and I
never oxpect to see another golfer get out
of trouble as perfectly as he did.
"I3ut his best work was on the pOttlng
green. He could drop them from any angle
or any corner' at all of the greens and
thought nothing of dronnlns a thirty-footer.
The best of players couldn't bent that kind
of golf," wound up tho golfer, with a
wounded look.
"How bad did he beat you?" asked Mo
Adams, all sympathy.
"Oh, I beat him, but It was the devil of a
Job." said the other.

GARRY HERRMANN'S SUCCESSOR

to Magnates on Nntionnl
Commission
CHICAGO. Nov. 8. Kenesaw Mountain
Land s. Judge of the United States Court
here. Is being mentioned as a possible suc
cessor to Garry Herrnjann as chairman of
the National Baseball Commission. In In
formed quarters. It Is Intimated that the
Jurist would be acceptable to a number of

If ho had .nut down his ringer, providing
It was parfor the eighth hole on the west
course, ratterson would havo run Into a
tie' at 6G strokes with Smedley. ratterson
had seven birds on that course, making fif
teen for the two courses; not bad In 36
holes.
Smedley also had seven blsds over the
west 'course, not all on the same holes where
Patterson got his.
