The last detachment of the returning University football squad will arrive in Cambridge this morning, ready to start preparation this afternoon for the home-stretch of the gridiron season: Three of the outstanding University players were forced out of the contest, which resulted in a 24 to 0 victory for Penn last Saturday, on account of injuries, but according to Dr. T. K. Richards '15, none of these players suffered injuries serious enough to keep him out of the Brown game this Saturday.
Dudley Bell '28, star center who was forced to leave the contest with Pennsylvania in the first quarter, will be in shape in a day of two, it was announced. J. P. Crosby '28, whose leg injury was at first feared serious, may need a little rest, but the Brown game will find him ready for action. A. E. French '29 played quarterback for the greater part of the game, and suffered a severe battering, but Dr. Richards declared that the Junior would feel no ill effects from his ordeal.
Pass Attack To Be Stressed
The failure of the University forward passing attack, counted upon to counteract the strong defense of the Red and Blue line, will mean that Coach Arnold Horween '20 and his assistants will probably spend some time this week developing and polishing off the Crimson aerial game. At Philadelphia the line did not hold long enough the passer was generally hurried, and the possible receivers were covered by watchful Quakers.
With the Yale game as an objective, Coach Horween knows that the Blue line is powerful, and that a blow from the air may prove the most effective means of piercing the Eli armor. In David Guarnaccia '29, and J. W. Potter '30, the Crimson eleven has two potential passers of high-class ability; who may prove dangerous to the Brown Bear and to the Yale eleven.
