No nn uncement was made, nor will bo until the men have been approved by tho Faculty Athletic Committee. It Is snld that Charles "Buck" Wharton, line conch tat fall and prnctlcally decided unon to hnndle the forwards airnlti In 1916. In- formed the committee that It would be Impossible for him to accept the appoint ment this fall, as ho expects to run for Governor of the State of Delaware on the Democratic ticket. If such is tho case It Is likely tho committee will not select the new lino coach until tho early spring, as no other meetings aro planned for the near future. If Wharton Is out of tho running It Is likely Gus Elcglor, the famous nuard of Penn's last great team In 1905, will bo seriously considered for tho position. Zlcgler was not looked upon as n great success when forced to tutor tho men of all positions with no assistant, but thcro Is no denvlng tho fact thnt ho is one of tho greatest lino coaches In the Cast, If allowed to give all his time to this department. With Kolwell nnd others to look after tho other depart ments, Zlcgler could be assigned to the task of developing a line and would almost surely bo ns successful as Wharton was In 1016. RICE DISCUSSES THE BEST TYPE FOR ATHLETICS . "High Strung" Athletes Are Compared With the Phlegmatic BROOKES NEIIVOU'S DUNDEE WINS FROM MURPHY IN A SPECTACULAR BATTLE Italian Checks Johnny's Winning'Streak in Fast Bout at Olympia Record Crowd Witnesses Contest By ROBERT W. MAXWELL ANOTIir last nil Many Believe Zieglcr Is Even Better Than Wharton Men who hao played with Zlcgler and who havo been coached by him be llovo that ho will bo oven moro successful than Whnrton because he teaches moro aggressive football. Last fall tho Pcnn lino was a stonewall on defenio but lacked aggressiveness. Tho men were taught tho "head charge," which eliminated them completely as soon as they had taken their men out of tho piny. Zlcgler tcndics linemen to keep their feet, tnke the Interference If they are suc cessful In getting through their opponent, and to follow plays mound. This Im a far moro Important Item than Is generally believed. It Is often the case that a lino Is apparently powerful but 1m of llttlo use offensively nnd puts much unnec essary work on the ends and secondary backs on defense. It Is certain that My Dickson was appointed as one of Kolu ell's assistants, but he will withdraw from tho Held and another will be appointed If tho board of directors decide that tho 1915 Meld coach Is tho right man for the position of graduate manager of athletics and treasurer of tho Athletic Association. The selection of this man rests solely with Paul Thompson, and It Is said that ho Is favorable to Dickson. Apparently, there Is no opposition to Dickson for the position, but Pcnn has a habit of springing "dark horses" at tho last minute. Department of Justice Turns Down Baltimore Owners The much-feared action of tho Unltlmore Tcdcral League Club owners, who threatened to go Into the courts to forco organized ball to give the Maryland city a major league franchise, proved n boomerang to tho Terrapins. Through Representative J. Charles Llnthlcum, of Maryland, tho Baltimore owners sub mitted an inquiry to the Department of Justlco and suggested that an Investiga tion bo mada to ascertain whether tho Sherman law had been violated. D. Carroll Todd, assistant to tho Attorney General of tho Department of Justlco, In replying to tho Inquiry, declared that tho department Investigated tho matter carefully and decided that tho alleged compromise, one result of which would bo tho elimination of Baltimore as a major lcaguo city, did not appear to constitute any ground for action by tho Department of Justice. Which means that Baltimore will take what tho Nutlonal Commission offers, or bo out in tho cold. . Ohio State College students dcclaro that rtutgers Is tampering with "Kat" ' Winters, Ohio's gridiron star. Winters Is looked upon as tho greatest football player at Ohio State In 10 years, barring Cherry, tho brilliant end of the 1914 team, and It Is said that Hutgera has been trying to Induce him to enter the New Jersoy Institution next fall. Winters has announced that he will stick to Ohio Btato. Al Law son, the veteran promoter who organized many leagues In the past, including tho United States League, which really paved the way for the Feds, Is behind tho movement to reorganize tho Trlstato League. Tho proposed cir cuit Is Allentown, York, Johnstown, Altoon.i, rtcadlng, Pottsvlllc, Huzlcton and Shamokln. Harrlsburg was desired, but Is slated for a New York Stato League franchise. Law son will operate ono of tho teams and Is said to favor Gcorgo Graham, of this city, as president of the new league. A basketball team has been organized In Columbus, O., which Is composed of five men who are cither totally blind In ono eyo or partially blind In both. Not a man on tho team can oven read large poster print, but they seem to do well at tho cage game. Upon hearing of tho organization of this team, a local fan suggested that some of tho baseball umpires and basketball referees must be playing with tho Columbus team, and nlso that there are several Eastern League players who might qualify. It does not bcem to matter what Roger Brcsnahaii did as manager of tho Cubs. Joo Tinker Is determined to do Just the opposite. Tinker Is passing up the young stars developed by Bresnahan and now Insists that ho will not allow tho team to train at Tampa, tho camp selected by Bresnahan. Tinker favors Shreveport. Michigan to Have Crew in 1917 Tho University of Michigan will bo represented by a crew in 1917 and it la planned to enter a varsity and freshman race In the Intercollegiate Regatta In 1918. Tho Introduction of rowing at Michigan Is duo to the efforts of tho Michigan alumni, who have helped make famous the crews of tho Detroit Boat Club, Union Club of Ann Arbor and the Grand Rapids clubs. A now tuo-mllo courso laid out by the Union Club on tho Huron River will be used this spring for practice, although rowing will not bo officially recognized at Michigan until 1917. The Union and Detroit Boat Clubs havo agreed to loan shells to tho Maize and Blue until rowing has been firmly established and meets with the approval of tho student body. Wisconsin, Washington and Lcland Stanford were welcome additions at Poughkeepslo, and Michigan will be doubly eo because It already has a largo athletic following In tho East. Tho Heclaa team of the Erie Home Bowling League In Cleveland made what Is believed to be a world's record for a single game on Friday night. Rolling against the Opper Brothers team. Heclas totaled 1212 pins In the final game. The scores 6t tho tlvo men wero Nltschke, 254; White, 220; Grimm, 246, Ostrander, 244, and Woodward, 278. If not the world's record, this Is at least one of the most wonderful performances ever recorded In a league match in the history of tho ancient pastime. It la said that Nick Gianakopulos, the Greek distance star who recently de feated Hannes Kolehmainen In the senior national cross-country championship, has beej asked to Join the Irish-American Athletic Club. With those two sterling "Irish-Americans" for the distance runs, Lawson Robertson would have little vouDjo carrying ore tno majority or the points in the longer races next spring and summer. Boxing: Game Is Saved in New York Despite the efforts of tho boxing promoters, the boxing game has been aved In New York. Yesterday the State Athletic Commission voted down the ugg-eatton to allow referees' decisions In boxing bouts held In the State. It was beW that decision fights would put an end to stalling tactics adopted by the top Hatchers like Freddy Welsh, but the argument failed to hold good with the olons. By GRANTLAND RICE Two eminent citizens of Sportdom n day or two nuo became engaged In a brisk discission as to which type suc ceeded tho better on competitive play: 1 The nervous, hlpit-etruiig tjpe. 2. Or the serene, phlegmatic makeup. There Is, of course, no answer, ns both types are well represented among the lending successes of the game. Two Types Take baseball Here In tho serene, un disturbed tjpes ho have Christy MathcW son, linns Wagner, Chief Bender nnd Wnltcr Johnson an lenders These four rarely give wny to any mcntnl or physical flurries They take the gnme ns It comes, nnd they tnke It without a quiver.

Dundee won by a wide margin and was master of the situation at all times. Tliero wns not nn Idlf, moment In the entire six rounds. Both bojs were willing to mix.
