PAUXTIS ENTERS FIELD AS LIKELY SELECTION AS CHIEF ASSISTANT TO BOB FQLWE

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.

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.

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.

His dult, hurt epea looked out nt me

A brinu ear conned down hte cheek.
He gulped nrtrt then his sad voice broke,
And so I stepped up close and spoke:

"You hit loiir tee shots out a mite,
You played your Irons In pcrccl style.
You played your pitch shots tclffc a cut

"You never held a truer nlm,
You Meter played a better game; -You

You should have held par iccll In line,
And yet vou got a iitiieriotliic."
"Jtow did you knowt" I heaul him yell;
"How did you call the turn so uicltt"
t merely smiled nnd'sftoofc my head,
And as I turned away I said.'
"I kneto, because where fortune pines,
That's how I get MY nlncty-nlncs."

shlps nro congratulating themselves thnt
the mile run Is to bo the "cinch" event of
tho program. 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.

FOR
"Why Should I Buy a
CADILLAC 'Eight?"
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.
