Tho Red and Bluo has a good chance to go through the season without Afcther defeat, although somo tough games aro staring them In the face. Dart- th will bo played In Boston next Saturday and Michigan comes hero tho fol w4ng week. If Penn Is successful against the Green athletes, the Wolverines TrIH ot appear so formidable. Tho battlo In Boston looks like nn even affair It would not bo at all surprising to spo tho local team win. Tho men have greyed their worth and have confidence In themselves, which will help consider- , iter, There comes a time In every football season when tho team cither survives to; goes along with its head up or is shoved into dbllvlon, whero it staggers tfceoush the remaining games with all hope extinguished. This turning point camo ' Penn In the Pitt game, and, although Penn lost, the coaches, players and MJents suddenly realized that tho eleven was much stronger than was first oup peed. , Tho wonderful lighting powers and aggressiveness shown by tho men when tliey battled the heavier team all over tho field and lost by moro or less of a fluko Irtped away all thoughts of tho crushing defeat In tho South and rovlved hopes for ilio remaining games on the schcdulo. Tenti was in hard straits before tho Pitt game. Kolwell worked hard, but tho task was almost too much for him. Ho had hla hands full, for it was ctulto a Job to tako caro of everything. Tho backileld needed attention, new plays had to bo Khearsed and a quarterback to tako Bert Bell's placo developed. All of this took time and thero was no chanco to work with tho linemen. THB defenso naturally suffered and thoso on tho Inside bellovcd that Plttahureh would win bv an overwhelming score. Th ro seemed to bo no chanco unless help urrlved, and frantic messages were sent to former stars to come back on tho Job. Things were in a critical stato at Penn at that time. Buck Wharton Answers S. Q. S. and Saves the Red and Blue TjtniEN tho news leaked Into Dover, Del., Dr. Charles M. Wharton decided It "was about tlmo to tako a vacation and spend it on Kranklln Field. Tho Doctor, who also Is known as "Buck," is ono of tho best, if rot THB best, lino coach In tho country, and he had an idea that ho was needed. The gamo was only two days off When he arrived, but in that tlmo Wharton worked wonders with tho men. Instead ef a haphazard, loose-playing, careless rush line, ho turned It into a bunch of fighters and gave tho players somo simplo Instructions which wcro carried out to the letter. It was tho rush lino that saved Penn that day, and many aro wonder ing what would liavo happened to Pitt had Wharton appeared a week earlier. It Jsa't an easy thing to get tho tackles, guards and center working together In two days. In fact, it Is almost impossible Buck realized tills, so ho made no attempt to work any radical changes. Ho told them what 10 do. showed them tho proper Way to break through and to open holes for tho backs, and tho best part of It all Was that tho players remembered everything they wero told. Wharton was a famous lineman In his day and Blrico leaving college- has Aevotcd much time in working out a system. Ills coaching methods virtually lipve been standardized n many of tho colleges, especially in Yalo and Harvard, lie now is a specialist In that department, and his advico Is Invaluable when conditions lire critical. Tho g.'ecn linemen learned quickly, which proves that Suck knows how to Impart his knowledge to others. It Is interesting to watch Doctor Wharton going through his work on Franklin Med. Ho looks moro llko a collego professor than a couch when ho strides majestically ucrostS tho Held to tho lower goal posts. Ho wears a brown velour hat, H golf shirt, occasionally football pants, but moro often riding trousers, golf stockings and oxford slices. A regular coat aho Is part of his attire. His mako up is wonderful, but ono forgets all about it when ho gets to work. Buck wastes no tlmo. He open with a lecture and gives a demonstration it tho point he Is trying to bring out bj suddenly crashing into one of tho players, knocking him flat, or lernwling on his hands und knees. All of this is imprcsslvo to the players and spectators especially tho players. Wharton has somo sound advice. In tackling, ho teaches tho men to go Into ,- opponent head tlrst und then grasp the legs, ns it Is tho surest way to bring tho mail down. When the men fall on tho bull, thero aro no fancy frills, such as turning o'.cr and arising llko an acrobat, but ono I011.7 dlvo and cudden swooping ef the urms and tho ball is safely tucked away. In defenslvo and ofTcnslvo play, however, Buck is without a peer. His theory Is that on tho offense tho liner, nn should play his opponent and on tho defenso cover territory. For example, u man en tho attack must get his opponent out of tho way to allow tho play to go through und on tho defense tho other fellow must get his man out of the way. These nre the things Wharton is working on und tho results aro remarkable. Dart mouth will have no easy tlmo with tho forwards next Saturday. DOCTOIt WHARTON commands tho respect of overy one and his orders are carried out without question. Tho players have contldenco in his ability and aro anxious to learn all they can. Ho is a professor of football und his stmplo methods of teaching aro appreciated. He has done wonders ut Penn this year and is entitled to some of tho glory. Forward-Pass Rulings Always Are Source of Worry to Players SOME day tho rules commltteo will get together and compile a readable code which can bo understood by every one. As it is now, tho player and average 5 J5in looks over tho rules and then guesses what they mean. Forward-pass rul. lr)gs always aro dltllcult, and hero Is 0110 sent to mo from a qutstloner who lgns himself "Wilmington." Tho letter follows: f'fioXtrrt IV. Maricell, Sports Editor, Uvenlna Ledacr: "I read with much interest your artlclo on bonehead football, and desnlto 'Hh clearness It becamo the sourco of an argument between another Evening D&'pGEii reader and myself. My friend, who had Just finished reading tho Kvenjno Ledoeii article, volunteered to referee a practice gamo between tho rgt and second teams of tho local high school. Tho varsity had brought tho ball down tho field and an attempted forward pass was Intercepted by the de fending quarterback on about his 1-foot line. Ho had no sooner caught tho M than he was tackled, the force of tho tackle' driving him across his own Soal line. The refereo declared It a touchbaek and put tho ball In play on the 20-yard line. I declared that the ball should have been put In play whero it had been caught, on the 1-yard line, or that it should be ruled a safety. His argument is that tho impetus, the tackle, of the opposing side, drove the ball 'across the goal line, thus making It a touchbaek. I contend that the ball should have been declared dead whero tho def piartcrback had Intercepted the pass and had been tackled and not to m0"ih 'wmv . wv.. H..w . -rf ...- v.w v t.w kuutviu 11 ino latter i ,, iridered I hold that It should bo ruled a safety, which brings up a point thn I" , notVery clear to me. If a forward pass is attempted and It Is Intercepted b ' mi the members of the team on the defensive behind his own goal linn !!8 U tackled behind tho line, whether ho tries to run It out or not what woum 1 the rul'ns on this play? I know It would bo better to try to bat tho ball rt - Met It be grounded, but as was the case today tho man had to either catehH?1 CH or Jet Jt be gathered in by an opposing end for a touchdown.

The Ited and Blue foot ball equad leaves tomorrow for the annual gridiron tilt with Dartmouth at Boston on Saturday, and the largest delegation of rooters In many years will follow the team to tho Hub City. At least 300 students and alumni will leave, on the tpeclal rooters' train tomor row afternoon, and these bupporters will be augmented in Boston by the many loyal alumni of New England who will Hock to the City of Spokes for tho game. It Is es timated that at least BOO Quaker enthu siasts will bo In tho stands of the Braves' Feld when the first whistle sounds. This number of I'enn men is the largest that has Been a Quaker game away from Franklin Field In five years. l.ubt season about 200 went to Pittsburgh and fewer than a hundred to Michigan. Two year ago tliera wero 150 Penn rooters' who accom panied tho squad to Boston and bo on down the list. Not more than 200 has followed the team to any 0110 gamo In the last half decade. Tho bquad, numbering twenty-live, with the coaches and the various trainers, will entrain at 0 o'clock tomorrow morning and will arrive In Boston about 0 o'clock in tho evening. Thero is no big bend-oft planned, for Provost Smith has requested the under graduates not to have a demonstration. In place of a big rally through the streets and at the station, the students will hold a gigantic mass-meeting In Weight man Hall tonight. Speeches will bo made by the football players and somo of tho ccaches. After tho mass-meeting a dance will be staged to raise funds to bend the band to tho game.

He Is nlso helping to conserve tho health nnd energies of the fairly well known human race. It Is a matter of record that most people cat entirely too much, and that less food on the average would be a big benefit to humanity. Tlic Proof If ono should tell tho uvcrnge person that ho had to cut down his feeding to only two meals a day the odds are that he would, emit what Is technically known as a lusty squawk. Yet two meals a day Is a more healthy arrangement than three meals a day. Several years ago we were out playing golf with Christy Matheuson. After a fore noon round we repulred to tho clubhouse and handed Matty the menu. He declined with thanks. "I never cat lunch," ho added. And then ho told us the dtory of his tiro-meal-a-day arrangement "I found," he snld, "more or less by acci dent, that I could pitch much better Ip the afternoon when I hadn't enten any lunch. .So I decided to try out the plan. It worked wonderfully. I soon began to feel much better and my pitching began to Improvo more than a trllle. My liend felt clearer and 1 heemed to have more energy. Thero Isn't any doubt In the world that cutting down to two meals a day helped my health and made me a far better pitcher than 1 would havo been." Later on wo happened to discuss the sub ject of football diet with .Speedy Hush, Princeton's very excellent coach. There Isn't any -doubt," said Speedy, "that a football team would play far better ball If It would cut out lunch and get aown f two meals a day. I know, because I've made thorough tests.
