?ij$ath Election of New Members of Football Committee
Old Coaching Plan Will be Revived Coach Brooke
Likely to bo Head Coach in 'l915.
A result of the election of tho new
3T08ttH Cornmlttee hv the Board of Di
rectors of the University of Pennsylvank
-UKinv ihnra trill tin n. return to the
$$'Ui "Penn system" of football cdachtne
next year, mho riccuuu wu -h.um. ;
the belief that George Brooko will bo
retained os head coach. This news will
b pleasing to his many friends, -who
hove thought all along that he had been
dealt unfairly by the varsity members
of tills year's eleven.
Here's -What Is meant by the "Penn
system":
What is known as the "Fennsyl-
i' vanla system is the perfection of a.
defense that will be tho fcundatlon
man . wlilrh tan attack can bo built
The syatom taught by Percy llaujrli-
ton at Horvard Is Identical with that
taught by Carl 'Williams when he was
In char&o At Pennsylvania,
. Another thtnB tho new committee
will do very shortly la to secure a
i competent trainer, which Pennsylva-
' nla has not had since the death of
i "Mike" Murphy. Somo one will bo In
eharge of this work next fall who the
i committee knows to be efficient and
1 who will not be In any Benso an ex.-
i jveriment.
i It Is not Hkoty that there wilt be any
Important changes In the schedule.
Pennsylvania, will play the Navy at
Annapolis and Dartmouth at Boston,
bat the other games will probably be
played at home. The former commit
tee odmlttod that It made ft mistake
In ohan sing some of tho preliminary
opponents, and It is believed that at
least ono team dropped last year will
be reinstated.
i t: tic
The New Tork Athletic Club has de
faronded that entry fees be paid or the
athlete stiffer suspension by the Amateur
Athletlo Union, and tho plan should de
velop Into a great benefit for tho'track
nd field game. There has been a. habit
on the part of the big dubs to withhold
entry fees. In the hope, presumably, that
the Games Committee of the promoting
organization would overlook the debt.
However, the N, T. A. C. has set the
pace now, and it will be a good lead for
other organizations of this country to
follow.
Hlght here in Philadelphia there are
some athletes who are loth to give up
their entrance money. While the clubs
Ore not whqlly to blame, it will be a
good thing for the officials to Bee that
their proteges are always in good stand
ing in this respeot.
The New xork A. u. nsu tou" ""
for games outstanding since last summer.
Tho Irish-American athletes ore Indebted
to the Winged Foot organization, and
these men aro threatened with suspension
unless they pay. This part of tho pro
gram was all right, but a new angle de
veloped. The Irish-American athletes
many of them world famous-found them
selves in the unenviable light of paying
the fee demanded or of being suspended.
They kicked, because they believed the
club had token care of that detail. Now
a good many of the runners and jumpers
have, openly expressed themselves op
posed to competing for an organization
which will not pay entry fees. It Is to
Be hoped tho blaok clouds will pass away.
The. club management Is to bo cenaured,
not the athletes. In this Instance, is our
oaltaf.

TO THE COMEBACK
Once In a while a man comes back,
Fights his way to the top again,
Oyer the old familiar track
Tho TrrcatU of laurel to cop again.
Once In a while a beaten star,
Hurled back to the bush again
Smashes tntd the dopeater's bar.
Climbs to the limelight push again.
Hare then Is a cup to the man -who comes
back.
When the- years and the buffets and
knocks of the game
JIave made him a has been, who changes
J" his tack.
And fights for and captures the kale
and the fame.
And here Is a cheer to his heart and his
name.
Jl cheer that good sportsmen will echo
when time,
The great final winner, has gathered his
claim,
; And the comeback no longer msy totter
or climb.
Comeback the road you travel on, for
sooth la difficult, and dangerous the path
(That leads the vet through camps of
agile youth.
Whose hearts the comeback's efforts
nil with wrath.
"Strength, speed, endurance and a tack
of cares.
And not a thing to lose by one defeat.
These things, old boy, and vibrant youth
are theirs
IvTio stand and block your road, whom
,0-7ou must meet.
Timer go slow on the final ten and give
him a chance to make his fight,
fcet Mm get up on his feet again and hook
once more that famous right,
ifcnd you who yell for the younger chap,
remember the vet Is near tho turn,
ULnd he is done with the tang's last tap,
but the boy has youth and strength
to burn;
frvrofh and strength are his to burn and
tho future lies In his brawny hand,
)Jut the vet is nearing the final turn, and
he hasnt thing but Brain and
Sand.

George Brooke, tho much-buKeted coach
of tho University of Pennsylvnla, de
serves a. vast amount of credit for the
manner In which ho has overlooked tho
action of his football proteges In their
denunciation of him and his methods ns n
coach. While Brooke must fool some bit
terness toward tho 19U team, he has never
allowed his judgment to get tho better of
him. Whenever tho incident was men
tioned lie Invarlobly refused to say any
thing which could bo construed Into n
"knock" against tho ncd and Bluo team.
Brooko has another year to coach
Penn, according to his signed contract,
and ho should be allowed to take
charge of the team next fall If ho
wishes. Tho brilliant prospects of the
1315 team make the coaching position
for next season a great anticipated
pleasure for the coach. Tho men ttho
will compose tho Penn team next fall
are seasoned players In splto of their
yonth. Tho freshmen team of 1314 was
almost, it not quite, the equal of the
varsity. When tho cream of that group
Is selectod to combine forces with tlio
best of the men left from the varsity,
plus aoveral scrubs of recognized abil
ity, there will be a team for Franklin
Field which Is likely to wipe out the
stains of the 1914 defeats.
During tho last two seasons Brooke has
not been blessed with cood material. Ills
ability as a coach at Penn did not have
a thorough test. He should be given tho
chance, provided, of course, he Is willing
to continue. There is no doubt that, re
gardless of the ability of tho man who
ultimately is selected head coauh, the
work of the Penn team next year will be
all that the followers of the Institution
ask.
"Packey" Hommey doclares ho
weighed 131 pounds, and that "Willie"
Beecher tipped tho beam at 147 pounds.
The boys met in New Tork the other
night, and It is not surprising that
Hommey was buffeted about the ring.
It was. the consensus of opinion that
the fight was a draw. Hommev de
serves great credit, for giving away
18 pounds ia a feat for a. giant.
M. W. V., McDona'ld,Pa.!
Two shots fired at a turkey'shoot at 50

which shot wins? Nearest to centre or

I would call it a tie and have a shoot

particularly governing this point before
the shoot started.

That New Orleans will becoms the Mecca

Pennsylvania has even brighter pros

team In the Initial contest has shown all
the defects, which can be easily remedied.
With the rounding Into shape of Captain
Seelbach, as well as 'Wallace, Bullitt,
Hardwick. McNIchoU Evans and other
members of the first-string men, It Is evi
dent that Coach Jourdet will be ablo to
select a team that will be worthy of no
tice. The passing and shooting In the Mulilen-
berg-Pennsylvanla game, whllo It bordered
on the ragged edge, particularly the lat
ter, will bo given the Immediate attention
of the coaches, and It Is certain will be
perfected before the Itutgers-Pennsyl-vanla
contest on Saturday, December 15.
Coach Jourdot has ample time to have his
