Last year the Quakers, despite an abismal overall record, gave Dartmouth its stiffest challenge of the season before bowing, 24-19. This year, behind the passing of Bill Creeden and the running of Cabot Knowlton, Penn has the number two offense in the League statistically.

Franquemont, Chace and Padiak seem to have the best chances to do well in their classes. Chace, at heavyweight, will get his stiffest competition from Nichols of Navy, Paul Goble of Rutgers, and Dick Moore of Cornell. But Chace has already beaten both Moore and Goble during the regular season...
