QUAKERS TOPS, HARLOW SAYS

Claims That Players, Not Coaches Make Grid systems

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Debunking the whole idea of football systems, Dick Harlow said last night on the crimson Network that "systems are made possible by the players, not the coaches. There is no such thing as the Harlow system,' or any other."

He said that while several coaches, notably Alonzo Stagg, Glenn Warner, and George Halas, has made distinct contributions to gridiron strategy these would not have been possible if the material had not been there.

Praises Stiff

Discussing tomorrow's opponents, Harlow said that they were as strong as any college team in the country, barring none. And he waxed lyrical about Bert Stiff, reminding his listeners that the Yale Coach Howie Odell has labeled the Penn fullback the best back he has ever coached, which covers three All-Americans and Harvard's Vernon Struck.

About his own team, Dick agreed with Vern Miller, interviewed on the Network the night before, who said that the backs formed the Crimson's strongest department. He singled out Swede Anderson for special praise, saying that last year's third-string center was doing a bang-up job at blocking back.
