-COINCIDENT with the opening of
the 1020-21 scholastic jrcar at the
University of Pennsylvania, a new era
In football dawns. 'Whether this smil
ing aurora will be followed by the noon
day sun of victory of the somber clouds
of defeat remains to be seen, r
Dr. John Heisman, tno man who put
Georgia Tech, an obscure southern In
stitution, on the football map, Is the
medium through which the University
athletic solons hope to rescue the Red
end Blue's smeared gridiron banner
from the quagmire of dissension and
failure and unfurl it In Its proper place
on the flagstaff of unanimity and suc-
The new mentor comes here under a
three-year contract to reconstruct
Pennsylvania's disjointed system with
one whoe underlying prlnclplo Is har
mony off the field and the famous
'Heisman shift" on tho grldlrra.
The new regime will get its baptism
of fire tomorrow afternoon on Frank
lin Field, where tho little, but well
coached. Delaware College eleven goes
to battle with the husky athletes of ono
of America's greatest universities. As
a test either of Doctor Heisman s sys
tun or the Individuals on the varsity
eleven, tomorrow's gamo will count for
little. Vet thousands of friends, stu
dents and alumni of tho university will
be there just to see what apparent prog
ress has been mado sinco Bob Fol
vell left Thoso who expect to see some
great revolutionary cbango will bo dis
appointed. Can't Bo Done
No man con Install an entirely new
football Rjstcm and have It working for
the opening game of the season. In
fact, an entire season mny roll around
before the playero become thoroughly
acclimated to Hcismon's football at
mosphere. Doctor Heisman comes to Pennsyl
vania at a rather unfortunate time, as
far as football material Is concerned. If
the lied nnd Blue's chances of success
this season arc to bo judged Rolcly on
the individual ability of the players wh,o
have reported, the outlook is far from
rosy, but they should nqt be judged in
that way. Many great coaches, and
Doctor Heisman is one of them, have
uelded mcdlocro material into a win
ning football machine.
That is the not too enticing task that
confronts tho new coach, but he has be
run richt. and it would not be sur
prising to see Pennsylvania's team this
3 car wax stronger and stronger as the
weeks go by, emerging lor its nnai games
a powerful eleven able to give Its best
onnonents a real battle.
Lest either the team or the coach be
Judged too quickly, it should bo re
membered that not just tomorrow's
game, but the entiro season is largely an
experiment. If all goes as Doctor Heis
man hopes, not only will, tho eleven this
5 ear make a good record', but there will
bo enough players grounded In the new
system to insure a winning team in the
future, regardless of the loss of indi
vidual stars.
Iu Former Years
In the post those In charge of Penn
sylvania's football tenma have been
I' forced to put nil of their energy into a
current season s play, rattier tnnn to
develop n stnblo system, that would bo
self-perpetuating nnd ono that would
have insured big squads of well-trained
players.
DoctorTlclsman has literally had to
begin at the bottom, not only becnuse
he Is introducing a system, but becnuse
the material is not studded with lumi
naries. Bill Ward, tho big tackle who
made such a great reputation in France,
both on the firing line and on the Third
division's football team, is the only
trrn n that stands out pre-eminently,
ward is not an experiment as a player,
lie "arrived" long ainco and todfy
is as one of the best 'tackles that
has graced a Pennsylvania uniform in
yeais.
Alex Wray. Lud Wray, Heine Mil
ler. Hobey Light. Ben Dcrr, Dieter
and Danny McNichol, tho men who
made the team what It was last year,
arc missing. There isn't a great player
In the backfield. Ilex Wray is a fast,
open field runneV nnd possesses many
other attributes which brand him ns a
high-grade man, but he Isn't heavy
enough to do the work that a backfield
pan should do. What the team needs
badly and hasn't Is a man of the cali
ber of Bill Hollenbach, Roy Mercer,
Owsley Manler or Georgo Brooke. These
men were big, fast and could rip n lino
to k hreds. And they hod tho stamina
o start ripping early In tho camo and
keen jt up on high gear until tho final
ihlstle. Possibly Heisman will find
uch n man. It Is to bo hoped, but at
Present he hasn't one.
High School Hope
Vic Prank is now Pcnn's hope nt
fnter. The former Central High
till, ,' nftcr Ploying guard and
"cue for nlmost thrco weeks, yester
day was shifted to center nnd performed

day and expressed himself as confident
that ho will getinto tomorrow's game.
In case Whitehall docs not start Joe
Straus probably will get the call,
The practice yesterday wns tho most
abbreviated of the season, the heat and
tho fact that Coach Heisman bad to
leave early for New York to attend tho
rules committee meeting being the rea
sons for thn etirtallmenr. of the drills.
After a tackling workout and running
with the ball and the usual fundamental
drills,, Heisman sent the first varsity
through n stiff signal march lasting over
half an hour. The players all snowed
considerable dash and spirit.
Knows Hclsman's System
Coach Shipley probably knows moro
about the Hclsmnn system than any
coach whose team will face rcunsyl-
vania. He comes from Maryland Srntq
and has followed the ucorgia xecti
games for a number of years. Shipley
has his team all ready for the Red and
Blue.
Those who havo wntched tho prelim
inary work of the Delaware saund pre
dict that there will be a much different
storv to tell from that of last renr when
the visitors wcro swamped by Folwcll's
machine, ot) to 0.
The squad Is physically fit with one
or two licentious. Thcv went throuch
n grilling two-hour scrlmmngo against
Maryland Htato at Uollego i'ark. Aid.,
on Wednesday. Aiken, lest year at
Pcrkiomcn, played a good gamo at
guard, but unfortunately he developed
a severe cold which kept him in the
Infirmary all day yesterday and last
night. It is uncertain whether or not
ho will be able to play tomorrow. In
that case Shipley will start cither Dc
lucca or Lilly at guard In bis place.
Donaldson, center last year with Wil
mington High, also mado a good 1m
Sresslon by his work against Maryland
tnto.
Itothiock and Magaw, the two cuds
wno win start against renn, nave snowu
great improvement this year. They
were the only two to stny In the game
the entire tlmo in the Maryland State
scrimmaKC. Marconnctl and Holton,
Veteran 'guard and tackle, never looked
better, while Kcpp, tne other tacKic, is
Improving.
Shipley is well fortified as to his
backfield. Captain McCaughan, Har
raer, Elliott and Wintrup form the best
backfield that Delaware has had for
years. Elliott Is playing his first year.
"Doc" Steel, laBt year wjth Newark
High, made Delaware's only touchdown
in tho scrimmage against Maryland
Stito. "Doc", is light but very fast.
In addition to these two Shipley also
has Jack Williams, McMulIen, Tonkin,
