VEIffCr LPaSBPHIIAPELHXAr MONDAY, JAyTJABf llJJM: 3 f MllfHMMlMiaMMM rfe PAUXTIS ENTERS FIELD AS LIKELY SELECTION AS CHIEF ASSISTANT TO BOB FQLWE n X i v. fcym BOSTON HAS MONOPOLY ON CHAMPIONSHIP CROW SURPRISE MAY BE SPRUNG WHEN COMMITTEE SELECTS ASSISTANTS TO BOB FOLWELL ,$Pauxtis, 'Dark Horse Will Probably Be Named y as Coach of Ends Dickson Logical Choice as Graduate Manager WHEN the Pennsylvania Football Committee announces the names of Bob rTolweH's assistants for next season's gridiron campaign several surprises ere likely to bo sprung. Two open positions are left since "Buck" Wharton lias Virtually been eliminated, although there Is still a bare possibility that he will return. Harold, Gaston will be retained to coach the scrub eleven, nccordlng to a report going the rounds In Pcnn footbnll circles. All of these matters will bo' taken up by the commltteo on Friday. If Wharton decides to run for Governor of Delaware ho will not bo able to accept the position If It Is offered to him. Otherwise, ho would probably accept If the position of assistant were offered him. If Wharton Is not able to Join the Bquad at the start of the season Folwclt will handle the lino himself, with one nsslstnnt to look after the ends and another to take care of the backs, particularly the quarterback position. Kol well was originally a lineman when ho entered Penn, but was switched to the fcackfleld during his first season. At W. nnd J. ho coached the line and back Held nnd understands the duties thoroughly. Patixtis May Be Selected Coach of Ends "Bl" Fauxtls, one of Penn's greatest ends, and who coached the ends during George Brooke's first season as coach, will probably bo the man selected to handle the wings. Fauxtls' namo has not been mentioned In connection with this position to date, but was suggested to the Football Committee by Folwcll en Saturday. Pauxtls' name has been placed on the list which will bo sub mitted to tho Faculty Committee, and), If ho Is ratified, as secm3 certain, he Is tho logical choice as end coach. i Folwelt Is known to have had two distinct favorites for tho backfleld assistant, but thcro Is little chance for Penn to secure cither. They are By Dickson, field coach last season, and Vincent Stevenson, peerless quarterback ot the great 1904 and 1903 teams. Tho latter had a long talk with a member of tho Football Committee and agreed to help out whenever he could, but cannot spare the tlmo from business to accept a position on tho regular coaching staff. Dickson Likely Choice as Graduate Manager Dickson Is In tho field for tho position of graduate manager of athletics, and Is said to bo almost certain of tho appointment. This also eliminates him, but ho will bo available and probauly will bo on Franklin Field every day help ing tho regular coaching staff. The appointment of tho graduate manager will likely bo made this week, as the large field has narrowed down to three pros pective candidates. They nro Dickson, William Hammltt and another, with Dickson apparently standing the best chance. Tho undergraduates and tho majority of Pcnn athletes of the last 1G years aro strong for Dickson. They believe him to be tho Ideal man for the position. He has had plenty of experience in this role, as he acted In the same capacity at Buckncll and Lehigh. Dickson understands all sports thoroughly; would bo a great help to the coaches of the various teams; lias a good business head, and commands tho friendship and respect of the athletic authorities at other universities, which 14 absolutely necessary If P6nn hopes to schedule games With certain elevens which are desired on tho Bed and Bluo schedule. Golf Association Ifas Trouble Ahead The passing of a rule by tho Executive Committee of tho United States Golf Association, which automatically makes all men professionals who sell golf goods, either as a proprietor or employe ot a concern, provided such per sons depend on their fame or skill as a golfer to promote these sales. Is the openfng wedge for a tot of trouble for this organization, because the body has made a rule which can bo easily broken and which will work a hard ship on many players who have always been aboveboard. There la no way to prove that a man Is depending on his golfing fame to promote sales, and there Is also nothing to prevent a golfer from owning and operating a Bporttng goods store In tho name of another. The caso ot John C. Anderson, runner-up in tho national championship this year, la a striking Illustration of tho Injustice which may bo done to some of tho stars of the game. Anderson Is employed, and has been for years, In tho Wanamaker store In New York In tho capacity of an assistant buyer and sales agent. Part of his duties consist In buying and arranging for tho sale of golf goods. Ander son Is In a position where IiIb golfing reputation Is ot great valuo to him, but not a necessity; yet ho would be barred If tho rule Is strictly enforced. Oulmet Will Also Be Lost to Amateur Ranks Francis Oulmet, former national open champion, Is another who will be declared u professional, If tho rule Is enforced. Oulmet and a partner havo secured a leaso on property in Boston and havo made all arrangements to open a argo sporting goods store. .To drop the project now would entail a loss of a sum which Is of greater necessity to Oulmet than his amateur stand ing, and the amateur game would lose one of Its greatest performers. Prior to the meeting It was said that any golfer who wrote newspaper articles also would be declared a professional, but the rule failed to pass the executive committee. This Is one rulo which should bo enforced, and yet the writing and syndicating of articles by famous golfers did more to build up the game than feats of tho famous players. If this rule had been passed, Anderson, Travers, Oulmet, and others would pass Into the ranks of the pro fessionals. The situation In the golf world on the amateur question Is similar to that In the tennis realm. Apparently thero Is little need for a great change In the nmateur code of either association, but the craze for investigating the status of athletes has taken hold on the officers who control the destinies "of both sports, which have always been aboveboard, and they probably will not stop until the stars, who have done so much to build each up, have been driven from the ranks of the amateurs.

JOCK SOUTAR TO PLAY RACQUETS AGAINST ELLIS Match Scheduled for To morrowChampion Will Be in New York Meet WILL GIVE HANDICAPS Keenan's Retirement Marks Passing of Veteran of Basketball Bill Keenan, released by Trenton, of tho Eastern League, will retire from basketball as a player, devoting his spare time In tho future to coaching and managing. The retirement of Keenan Is looked upon with regret by the fol lowers of basketball throughout the East, as he was not only the veteran of the game In point of service, but was also one of the greatest players who ever played It. In his 19 years of major league basketball Keenan made a record which will hardly be equaled by any player In the game today, or in the future, as the youngsters do not get as much chance to break Into the Eastern League as they did when the old National League was the largest organization In the country. Keenon has pluyed on more championship teams than any other player, and was one of the most popular men over connected with the game. 9 Penn's Five Continues to Upset Dope Pennsylvania's basketball team demonstrated to the satisfaction of the largest crowd ever present In Welghtman Hall that Its brilliant victory over the veteran Cornell Ave was not a flash In the pan by defeating Princeton. The Tigers had beaten Cornell and were looked upon as likely winners of the intercollegiate championship until Penn upset the dope again. Ab Cornell easily defeated Yale Saturday, while Columbia turned the tables on Dartmouth on the Green's home floor, the outlook for Penn is bright, unless Jourdet's team goes to pieces in its games away from home. This is quite possible, as the large floor at Welghtman Hall is a great advan tage to a light team, and Penn has the smallest and lightest aggregation of the league. Jumpers Can md Are Returning to Old Leagues Despite the reported "understanding" between the magnates of the National nnd American Leagues not to permit any of the players who Jumped the Feds to return to the league from which they Jumped, Jllke Doolan, Joe Tinker, -Mardecal Brown. Ed Ruelbach, Bill Fischer, Mann and others have been turned over to National League teams, while Eddie Plank and a few others will be back In the American, . Bethlehem's easy victory over the Hibernians In the National Cup soccer competition eliminates the local team from the championship class. It was the hlrd victory registered by the champions over the Hlbs this season, and it waa the easiest triumph of all. The Hibernians had few tries for goals and all S,aMrl"iu"w"ij ii&ye&Ifn f them were blocked, while Bethlehem had. 30 tries and made six tallies. '" li0 wl" "iii of E&ton'a in Jock Soutar, tlto brlllluu younc profes sional of tho local Itncquct Club, holder of tho world's championship at racquctf, has consented to rick his reputntlon In a manner entirely foreign to tltleholders of this day and date. Though but recently out of bed, with lllnes?, nnd by no menus In his usual good form, the young chnm plon has entered the professional handi cap racquets champlponship to be started in New York tomorrow nnd has given away handicaps to classy plnycrs beyond anything ever nllowed before In any such match. When this tournament was arranged a few weeks ngo tho arrangement was thnt Houtnr should rcmnln out of tho com petition nnd nfter the various players hurt been eliminated, tho Itacquet Club professional would meet the ultlmi p wln-noi- nt n intrr datfi in a contest for the world's championship. At thnt time It- looked ns though that would uc me oniy arrangement possible, as Soutar wns then suffering from an attack of grip. While he has not entirely regained his strength ho agreed during the last week to walvo th rights of a champion and rnmnotn nlonir with the other profes sionals from New York. Boston. Tuxedo and Chicago, quite unlIKe tne cnampions ill other lines of sport who nro ac customed to holding themselves nloof nnd Insisting upon cohdltlon nnd terms thnt renlly nre handlenpplng the cliullengcrs. Despite the fact Hint Soutar hns not regnlned all his strength. Fred Tompkins, the famous chief Instructor In racquets nnd court tennis at the Racquet Club, who made Soutar the champion through his wise handling, has carefully worked him back Into condition. On Friday ho gavo, a flash of form that was as good as he showed when he lifted the title from Charley Williams, the Englishman, a couple ot years ago. Soutar will play his first match to morrow against Ellis, a New York pro fessional, a long handicap man. Then If ho survives that match, which is vir tually certain, he will be pitted against Jack Mullins. his rlvai. on Thursday. He must concede Mullins three aces In a game which consists of only 13, thus al lotting him a 20 per cent, advantage.

Perhaps It will be. but not If John W. Overton, of tho Yalo team, docs what some of tho experts think nnd concentrates on the one-mile run. The college world now knows Overton ns a two-mller nnd cross-country chnm plon, but thoso who have watched his development think that the mile Is his best event nnd that If he takes it up ho will run well Inside 4:20. Overton Is a product of the Hill School, where he speclallred In the mile nnd dis tinguished himself by running It In 4:30. He continued to stick to the mllo nnd hnlf-mlle runs during his freshman year nt Ynle. Then John Mack, his coach, switched him to the two-mile run on tho belief that ho could bent i 'tor nnd Jloff- mlre. of Cornell. He beat Hoffmlre, but Potter wns too fast for him. Overton Is really at his best for the mile. He has speed enough to beat l.BS for the half tulle, nnd that ho has the endurance he proved when ho led the entire ..tld noma In tho Inst Intercol legiate cross-country championship event. Willi the combination of speed nnd strength which he hns dc eloped In tho last cnr, Overton ought to run tho mile In close to record time. Overton Is built on tho same lines ns George Brown, the Philadelphia boy, who, while a student at Ynle, ran tho half In l.SI. Tho tiling which is most likely to prevent Overton from bi caking tho iccord is the fnct that John Mnck, hla tr.iiner. seldom hns his distance run ners on edge, ns Jnck Moaklcy, of Cor nell, does. And Monkley, by tho way. Is grnomlnp Wlndagle, second last year, for this very event, it will bo a great race. AMATEUR NOTES SUMMER BALL WILL PROBABLY BE ALLOWED Recommendations Will Be Made at March Meeting NEW YOP.K, Jan. 17. It has been agreed by the Executive anil Advisory Committees that they will recommend nt the Starch meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of Amateur Athletes of America to virtually allow the facul ties of the various universities to have the final word In allowing Individuals to play summer baseball. With only a few changes in the phrase ology, the new rutes will be about the same as those agreed upon at the Septem ber meeting. TKe most Important points that will be suggested are: That an amateur athlete as an Individual can, by permission of the faculty, compete against one or more per sons Ineligible; that by this same special permission an amateur may compete In public competition on the same team with tnellglbles; that In case an amateur has ceased to be eligible through the commis sion of an act of Ignorance, the Executlv Committee shall have the power of reliev ing this person of the effect of the Ineligi bility, provided it Is clearly shown that he acted through Ignorance of the deed and consequence thereof.

Hundreds of Philadelphians are asking themselves that Question. There are many reasons. Here are a few of them: Twelve years ago the first Cadillacs were made about 2000 of the'm. They are still in service. Therefore, You Should Bur Cadillac "Eight," because you buy with it absolute assurance of dependabil ity objolute assurance of supreme raotorin satisfaction for the futur as well as the present. We have delivered since January 1, 1915,.be tween seven and eight hundred Cadillac 'Eights." There is not a single dissatisfied cus tomer. Never before has a motorcar created such universal approbation and enthusiasm. Therefore, You Should Bur Cadillac "Eijht," because its unique principles and performance'haveTbeen thoroughly tested on the rough road of experi ence for nearly two years by twenty-one thousand buyers. The founders of the Automobile Sales Corpora tion, Philadelphia distributors of the Cadillac "Eight," were pioneers in the automobile.busi ness in this city, They are one of the three re maining Charter Members of the Philadelphia Automobile Trade Association. Largely as a result of this long experience they have built upanefficient"service"department. Therefore. You Should Bur a Cadillac "Ee'ght," because you secure with it the unequaled advantages of this "service," which, like the car it cares for, has yet'to record a dissatisfied customer. The Cadillac was the first high-grade car to be sold ot a moderate price. The Cadillac is the only American car that ever won the Dewar Trophy, awarded by the Royal Automobile Club, of England, for greatest advance in automobile construction. The Cadillac is the only car In theVorld that ever won the Dewar Trophy twice. The Cadillac was the first car to relieve the motorist of the danger, the nuisance and labor of cranking. The Cadillac was the first car to introduce a practical electric starting and lighting system. The Cadillac was the first American car to adopt and prove out the Vtype, high speed, high efficiency engine.' In short, all the important improvements of the great automobile industry have been intro duced by the Cadillac Motor C? r Co. Therefore, You Should Buy a CadlUacEtxht," because it is the "Standard of the World" by right of con quest. Look the world qver where is there another such motor car? There Is Real Risk in waiting too long to Order Your Cadillac If you can secure a Cadillac NOW, protect yourself and take, it. If you cannot do better than to arrange for delivery in a month or two, we urge you to take that precaution.
