...John Heisman from Georgia Tech, who has replaced him, has begun his work unostentatiously and with a squad that is anything but remarkable. He has not yet resorted to the tricky shifts that were accountable for his "Golden Tornado" teams down South.

Heisman will sorely miss at Penn the services of Strupper and Gill, who formed the center of his "Tornado" at Georgia
