NEW PENN TRACK

One-Season Contract Will

FIVE CANDIDATES BID
By EDWARD R. HUSHNELL
Now that rcnnsylvntila hns disposed of
the football coaehlnu tiroblcm by tho se
lection of noli Folwell, the Football and
Tinck Committees will turn their atten
tion to the track situation. In Bplte of
rumois to tho contrary, no one hns been
emmtjod or oven received any offer. All
tnc two committees have decided Is that
the man who roaches the next trnck team
must also train the football team. Thero
are half a dozen or more men who nie
candidates for this dual coaching position,
but each has been told that he will have
to wait. Something dcllnltc Is likely
within tho next two weeks.
Wlille neither committee hns made nnv
oniclal stntement on tho point. It Is vir
tually certain that the man who Hots the
post will receive only u onc-yenr con U net.
Tlin Quakers havo had some unfortunate
experience with loiiK-tenn contracts. It
hns been nsreed unless the man picked Is
so good that thero would he no risk at
tached to a loiiKitfrui contract lie will he
told he must prove ills ability within n
,onr. This does not menu that ho ninnt
turn out a championship team, but he
must demonstrate that ho can develop
raw mateilal, put his trnck men on edge
for a Klven date nnd condition football
plnyers. The Quakers hope to ilnd a man
who will develop into a second Jilko Mur
phy, and If he shows these qualifications
ho will undoubtedly be retained.
There are five candidates generally men
tioned for the post: Dr. AMn C. Kraenx
loin, captain of the 1000 track team and
later coach at the University of Wiscon
sin, MercersburK Academy, tho University
of Michigan and the (Sermnn Olympic
team; George W. Orion, the present conch;
Lnwson Robertson, conch of the Irish
Amcrlean A. C Xew York: N. .1. I'nrt

REFUSE JOB AS
PENN ASSISTANT
Football Coach Says He
Will Accept Offer From
Another College
CONFERS WITH SYRACUSE
"HIr Hill" Hollenback, raptnln of Penn
sylvania's 1P0S football eleven, In a signed
stntement, announced this afternoon that
he would not, under any condition, nccept
tho position of nsalstant coach of I'enn's
Varsity eleven next fall. Hollenback de
clares that lie Is Inyal to Pennsylvania
and that he will return to help the Hod
nnd Illup without compensation. If his
services nre needed nt any time next fall
or In the future.
Iti refusing to serve ns an assistant to
Kolwell, In cuse ho Is appointed, llollen
hack has surprised his friends, who pro
dieted that ho and FoHvcll would work
linnd In hnnd to give I'cnn n winning
eleven Conch Folwell called on Hollen
back this afternoon with the Intention of
finding out Just what It would cost the
Ited and Ultie to sign him to a contrnct,
but tho newly appointed head coach did
not mnke nny olliclnl offer after hearing
of Itolleubnck'fl determination to turn
down the position
Kolwell doubted the ability of tho Ited
and Hlue committee to meet liollenbnek's
terms, but he was prepared to offer Illll
the position and submit his terms to the
committee nt tonight's meeting.
Hollenback has heard nothing definite
from Washington and Jefferson nnd
would not sny whether lie would accept
the position In case It was offered him.
Hollenback left tills afternoon for New
York nt the request of the Hyracuso Uni
versity Football Committee, which Is to
appoint Its head coach within the next
week.
Syracuse has followed tho graduate
coaching system for veurs. but with tho
resignation of "Uuck" O'N'clt, who lias
handled the nlt City learns with great
success, It has virtually been decided
to appoint an outsider coach. If the right
li'tn happened to be a graduate of an
other Institution.
liollenbnek's letter follows:
"Tin- many minors concerning my fu
tuie relations Willi the I'enn footbnll
situation nre so Indefinite und wide of
tho mark that 1 am piompted to make a
statement, which I hope will be clear
and concise to the Football Committee
and the general public
"If 1 am offered tho position ns as
sistant conch, I will not accept under nny
conditions whatever. I hnvu great con
fluence In Hob Folwell's ability, and
think that with the excellent mateilal
that will bo nt Franklin Field next fall
he will be very successful. If I am In
this vicinity, nnd the I'eun coaching stuff
would want my services nt nny time, I
would Kindly aid in every possible way,
without compensation. I'cnn lias nothing
but m best wishes for Miccess.
"I may accept a position as head coach
at some other Institution providing it will
not Interfere with my business with the
Moshannon foul Mining Company, whose
Interests I look after in Kastcrn Penn
sylvania and New Kngtand.

Tho Fnlrmount lighter earned a big

the latter to break ground continually.
Joo got going In the third and fourth,
but his light jabs hardly compared with
the vicious swings landed by "Hen."
lit the two tlnnl rounds Hnuber sailed
right in, swinging out with both left
and right. Few of the blows landed, but
when one would find n resting place on
Hirst's Jaw the latter would almost danco
out of the ropes.
The refereo stopped the semlwind-up
between Frnnklo O'Nell nnd Johnny Mc

In the other bouts, iteddy Hell stopped

"She bats .J00 on thr 'Ippiit .Vine."
I'd ilrall her now i I thought she ivoulit

1 pegged this at her, but mg prantl-ttamt

Went wild. Says she: ".Vo bush league

Say, she's the Big League Kid or I'm a
skate.
For every time I come tip, '.tp! like
that
She shoots those lamps of hers across the
plate.
And I strike out, like Casey on a bat.
For when she curves one over rom those
eyes,
"Three strikes and out" is just about my
site.

Speaking of curves, say, on the level, Jo,
.She'd make big Shore look like a dinky-

And Alexander's straight, without a

For she's all curve rom neck our eel

In Love's ball game the bench is where
I sit;

Or tie the game up with a timely thump;
I had a chance to make good on tho jump,
llut when I tried to grab her little mitt,
1 dropped it first, and then I umbled it.
Playing tho game Hko some bone-headed
chump.
And when at last I hit my form and tried
To work the Stiueese, she coached me
to my place
"Oet backl" she warbled. "Slide, you

Don't lake too long a lead rom off

EXPLAINS CAUSES
OF PEACE PACT
Says Feds Took Away $3,
000,000 From the Ma
jors Last Year
PIRATES SUFFERED
NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Jan. 7.-IMrncy
Ureyfuss gave out a statement here. In
which he said the reason for peace with
tho Federal League was the fact that
the major tcngues had been hurt finan
cially to the extent of M.000.000 last year.
Ho also slated that the Pittsburgh Na
tional League Club atone had been forced
to raise salaries $44,Onu In 1915.
Explaining further, Dreyfus said:
"The last senson in the National
League was a precarious one. For
lunntcly the eight clubs were fairly
evenly matched, and there was a race
from stnrt to finish. This, to my way
of thinking. Is nil that saved the club
owners, for had there been anything like
a runaway the attendances would not
have been even as large as they were.
"One Improvement that will bo noted,
now that tho Federal Lengue has passed,
will be the better work of those players
of a third league. During 1914 and 1915
club owners nnd mnnugers experienced
difficulty In handling the men tinder them
"While I do not mean to Intimate that
there was no discipline, I do want to say
that there were some plnyera who used
the existence of the Federal League as a
means of 'getting by" with work Hint
could bo regarded as nothing else than
Indifferent.
"With no haven of refugo for the mal
contents nnd the shirkers, uinnngcrs and
club owners will be In a position to handle
their own business and thplr own play

When over all the tumult ar unit wide
The Umpire shrieks "YOU'itK OUT!" (n
toiW delight.
So I pot mine In tiue O'l.onghlln style;
Just when I thought the game would be
. a He
ller old man yelled, "l'ou're out about a
mile!"
And waved me back with murder in his
rye.
"I'm ll'IMiim Hem in this here park,"
says he,
"So don't you slip no Kvers stuff to me."
VI.
So moves Life's game wherever we may
go;
At every base some umpire stands and
waits,
A delegate, shipped earthward by the
Fates,
Who have it In for players here below:
He'd rather yell "You're out!" than get
more dough.
And though we know the robber's eyes
ain't mates,
What does that get you in pour bum
debates.
When what he says is till (As records
showf
I've jumped the Love League now the
dream went vain;
For Love turns bush when cornered in
some den;
And though I own a fancy toward the
Jane,
The bally mags have yanked back I'eace
again;
Farewell to easy kale and old-time larks
We'll have to pay admission to theii
parks.
