SPORTS BRIEFS: Friday, October 17, 1997

Lwt. Football at Army After last week's win, Penn's record is now 1-1. The game at West Point is the first for Penn in the Eastern Lightweight Football League, and it is unquestionably a major stepping stone for Penn in its effort to defend their title. So far this year, Army's record in league play is 1-1, with a loss to Navy earlier in the season. The Cadets have shown strong playing skills, however their season has not been without errors. The Quakers' strategy this weekend is to maintain their field position, provide good punt coverage and make use of their special teams. The only setbacks for Penn so early in its season have been the losses of junior defensive back Keith Lotman and freshman fullback Evan Kipperman, both to injuries. -- Jen Fink
