Friars Open Grid S e r i e s With LaSalle

Philadelphia College Will Attempt to Halt Victory Streak of Providence

By HAROLD RICH A Providence Col lege e leven which

has displayed great progress in re-cent weeks, after an uncertain early campaign showing, wi l l write a n e w chapter in its annals when it inaug-urates grid relations with a strong La Salle College team of Philadelphia next Sunday at La Salle Alumni Field in what appears to have all the ear-marks of a closely-fought encounter. The kickoff is set for 2 o'clock.

Virtually unknown by many local fans, La Salle, conducted by the Christian Brothers, wil l make its in-itial invasion of this neck of the woods on the wings of a past perform-ance slate which commands respect aplenty. The invaders are expected to arrive in Providence by boat early Saturday morning.

None of the six opponents who have competed with the Philadelphians this season has been able to score through the La Salle line, one of the finest that the Friars have or wi l l be called upon to face during the present campaign. All the scoring registered against the Henry-coached forces has been effected through ihe airlanes.

La Salle Is Strong This year is not the first that La

Salle has been wel l represented on the gridiron, for almost invariably it has carved for itself a substantial niche in competit ion among the small col leges of the nation.

Local fans who are acquainted with the exploits of the Philadelphians are anxiously awaiting the coming clash, and this, together with the fact that the Friars have stirred up a great amount of interest among the fol low-ers of the pigskin parade during the past three weeks, bodes wel l for a large turnout.

The encounter wil l provide an ex-acting test for the Black and White ground offensive. One of the strong-est Niagara U. e levens to represent that institution in many years, the same Niagara team that trimmed the Friars , 14-0. was unable to score through La Salle's line. The Devore-men have flashed an abundance of power in their running attack, but whether or not they wil l be the first c lub to register through the western-ers wi l l not be known until all the returns are in. Paul Prettyman Leads Philadelphians

In six games played to date La Sal le has been victorious over West Chester, Davis Elkins. Mt St. Mary, and Scranton U. and they have lost to Niagara and Canisius.

Advance notes emenating from Philadelphia are filled with praise of Paul Prettyman. left halfback, who exce ls in running, passing and kick-ing. Prettyman's running mate. Knute Gidjunas. does not lack much of the left halfback's skill

Johnny Pilconis, 182-pounder, and Len Zatoris. 175, are La Salle's e n d s Dominic Montero, 195. and Mike Meno. 193. wil l be the starting tac-kles. Mike Mandarino, 215. and Frank Thorick. 180. wi l l be at the guards.
