TRAVELING SCHEDULE IS
HANDICAPPING PENN FIVE
IN INTERCOLLEGIATE RACE
Games With Syracuse and Rochester Will Take
, , Away Reserve Strength Which Will Be
Needed Against Cornell
HAS the maker of Pennsylvania's basketball schedule ruined tlio Hcii nnd
Bluo's chancea for the IntercollcBlato title?
A former Penn star dlscussInK the team's clinhco of beating Cornell In Ithaca
en Monday declared that ho doubted tho nblllty of the light lied and Blue squad
to stnnd tho schedule mapped out for It prior to meeting Cornell and predicted
tho downfall of .Jourdefs tenmslmply because of 11 poorly arranged schedule.
Ho pointed out that tho management had no right to schedulo games with
two such strong teams as Syracuse and Hochcstcr prior to tho Cornell game.
When II was suggested that Penn might tnfco It easy in both contests, the veteran
declared that It was Impossible for a college athlete to loaf In any contest whether
lie wanted to or not.
Last night Penn played Syracuso and was beaten In a contest which was,
Recording to all accounts, bitterly contested. Tonight tho lied and Blue meets
Hochcstcr In Itochester and nnother hard battle is certain to tako place, ns this
team Ib rated higher than Syracuse. Thcso contests will take away a great deal
of tho rcscrvo strength which may bo badly needed against Cornell.
Team Not Heavy Enough for Grind
It is truo that the team will be nblo to rest on Sunday, but tho two hard
games nnd the traveling are suro to havo a bad effect on tho work of tho team
against Cornell. A heavy or matured professional team could easily stand tho
grind, as somo of tho Kaslcrn League clubs play every night In tho week, cither
In lcaguo contests or exhibition games, but light youngsters, such aB Martin,
Williamson nnd Jefford, nro suro to feel tho effects of tho grind.
When asked why tho schedulo was arranged In such a manner tho Penn
sylvanlan replied that It was necessary to play thcso contests to cut down ex
penses. Basketball at Penn, ho explained, seldom has paid for itself and not being
a major sport, Is not allowed ns largo a sum as two major sports which alst fall to
pay for themselves, or come anywhere near it.
Penn lost u wonderfu1 chanco for tho tltlo a few years back because of a poor
schedule, made to cut down expenses, according to tho former star. It would bo
a pity If Penn should bo deprived of its chanco for tho title because of tho poor
arrangement of the schedule. If It should so happen, it is likely tho same mis
take will not bo made in the future, as it has been proved conclusively this winter
tlfat baskotball at Penn will moro than pay for Itself if tho team plays good ball.
Kauff Evidently Sincere in Holdout
The New York Giants departed for the South yesterday, but Benny Kauff,
tho sensational Federal League star, was not In tho squad. Evidently Kauff la
a sure-enough holdout. Ho declares that ho will not Join the Giants until he
has been paid 55000 by tho Giants, which was promised him as a bonus when
he iMgncd with MeGraw In the middle of tho 1915 senson, and a like sum from
Harry Sinclair, as his share of tho purchase money paid the oil magnate by the
New York club.
In the eyes of the fans and players. Kauff la cither being cleverly press
agentcd, a thundering fool or Is the most nrrogant Individual In tho game. In
truth, however, he Is merely raising a point which had to bo brought up sooner
or lateri'ln view of the complicated situations which present themselves In try
ing to straighten out the many tangles due to the peace pact.
No one expects the Giants to pay Kauff $5000, now that there la no Federal
League In the field, nor do they expect Sinclair to settle with the slugger, but
la he wrong in asking this money? It seoms like a lot of money, but should
not tho New York club live up to its agreement? If Kauff was worth $5000
to them last summer, ho is surely worth It now. Also, Just what right did
81nclalr have to sell Kauff?
National League Puts It Up to Tcner to Stop Rowdyism
Ono of tho most Important developments of tho winter was tho action of
the National League in giving President Toner more authority. Toner's first
move was to promise tho fans clean ball during tho ensuing season at least
cleaner than at any time In recent years. It Is ono thing to make promises In
the winter, and qulto nnother thing to keep them In tho heat of a hot campaign;
but there surely must be an Immediate and radical reform in this respect If tho
National League Is to be maintained on tho same high piano It has been raised
to In tho last six months.
...President Toner insists that ho will stop the kicking, and was responsible
for the adoption of a new clause, which was inserted In tho antl-klcklng rules,
which calls for a bench manager to lose his pay if ho Is suspended for unsports
manlike conduct. This rule was made especially for Manager Stallings, of tho
Braves, as he is the only National Leaguo leader who does not wear a uniform
and go to tho coaching lines,
Clothing President Tener with absolute authority to decide all protests with
out a review by tho board of directors seems to bo further evidence that tho
National Leaguo Intends to profit by the example of tho American, which from
it3 inception gave Ban Johnson absolute authority and enabled him to keep tho
Junior league free from rowdyism. The National League is to be congratulated
on its move, and local fans can rest assured that some of tho scenes of 1015
will not be repeated by visiting players of certain clubs.
Cravath Is Champion Home Hun Hitter
Perkaslc, Pa., fans, including G. H. TV., have become Involved In an argu
ment over the records of Baker, Cravath and Becker, several persons claiming
that Baker and Becker had made moro circuit drives than Cravath In tho last
five years, excluding 1915. The records show that Cravath has only played three
years (excluding 1915) with the Phillies, but made 49 home runs, while Baker )
and Becker mado 41 and 28, respectively, in five years. Cravath made 11 in 1912, i
IB in 1913 and 19 in 1914. Baker mado 2 in 1910, 9 In 1911, 10 In 1912, 12 in 1913. '
and 8 in 1914; while Becker's record Is 3 In 1910, 1 in 1911, fl in 1912. 9 in 1913,
and 9 in 1914. The latter was a substitute for the greater part of the live years. '
Andy Smith Calls Early Practice
Andy Smith, former Penn football coach, has made a great Impression on
the student body and alumni at the University of California. Smith has been '
holding spring practice, something entirely new on the Pacific coast, nnd the
men show the benefit of his teaching already. California did not have a gridiron
team until last year, and the men were decidedly "green." Smith believes that
the spring workout will be equivalent to another season of football for men who
know so little about the game. I
California expects little from Smith next fall, and will allow him to build a
system for the future. Given time to get his system working. Smith will make
good, as he is a thorough teacher. A plan Is under way to Induce Smith to j
live at Berkley all the year round, and he Is to be given a home to live in as
long as ho remains on tho coast. After his experience at Penn, Smith must
often wonder if he is not dreaming.
It is said one major league club enters the spring training trip losses on Its
hooks as publicity instead of extra expenses. It Is estimated that no team spends
less than $10,000 and many go as high as $15,000 on the training trip, but at that
they surely get their money's worth In publicity.
The matching of Benny Leonard and Sam Robldeau, at the Olympta for next
Monday night, recalls that Gilbert Gallant, the Boston lightweight, was creating
just as much excitement as Leonard is at the present time by knocking out
opponents when Robldeau surprised the boxing world by knocking tho Uoatonlan
out in four rounds at Bridgeport, Conn. Perhaps Robldeau may spoil another
sensation's aspirations for a title.
Joe Loomls has decided to give up running indoors after the present season.
Loornla declares that his long stride makes It impossible for him to run anywhere
near form on the boards, and he is taking a great chance of pulling a ligament
pjhguld the floor happen to be slippery. This is a wise decision on the part of
the Ch'cago flyer, and those who are predicting that he is an "exploded phenom"
probably will change their tune in the summer. Men who run with a short,
c.ioppy stride have a great advantage indoors, as they are more certain of their
footing.
Wesleyan has sent to Trinity College notification that unless the Hartford
school's athletic council adopts a rule barring freshmen and will guarantee to in-
stigate the amateur standing jjf Its athletes, Wesleyan will refuse to enter any
athletic event in which Trinity is competing. Billy Langford, the well-known
football official and former Trinity athlete, recently condemned the athletic
policies, ot the college and predicted a complete house-cleaning.

Gridiron Tactics
I think football tactics can be studied
Just as military tactics can be studied,
and great football players can bo devel
oped just as great generals aro doveloped
by West Point or by the Krench, English
or German military schools. Vou must
start with brains nnd then make those
brains Interested. I want the serious,
hard-working typo of student to come out
for tho team. I don't caro whether he is
a 00-pounder or not. A good earnest
little man is better than a big slow-witted,
unambitious man. 1 want the fellows out
who do things iu college. I don't want the
fellow who comes Just to play football.
Ho usually falls you In 11 pinch. I want
clean livers, clean thinkers nnd clean
speakers. Football is a clean man's game.
I want the fellows who amount to some
thing In college they will amount to
something In football and they will amount
to something Iu nfterllfe.
I have Just met tlie men who played
last year. They are fine fellows. We
tallied things over and got acquainted.

Clean Football
Dirty football, played In an unwhole

effect. Any college with a football de
partment that is rotten falls to protect
its students, or, rather, it leads them
Into evil ways In such an Insidious man
ner that it cannot help but have its ef
fect on their after life. Ho I wish to go

OTHER SCHOOL NEWS
It was too bad the records which, un
doubtedly, were made at tho 3d Tteglment
Atmory yesterday afternoon were spoiled
because the track was Incorrectly meas

championship marks which might havo
stood tlio test of scholastic competition
for many years to come.
Dr. JInthew C. O'Brien, coach of tho
Central High School track team, stated
after the meet that none of the records
could stnnd, ns tlio track was considerably
short of tho distance marked out. Scho

make real, clean-cut men out of tlienv
selves. To win for Pennsylvania Is not
my only Job. I must win fairly, cleanly
all fundamentals must be right.
Wants Candidates
If my premise Is correct, tlie more
men that will come out for football, the
better It will bo for the men and for the
University. Therefore, I am co-operating
with tlie. Football Committee In trying
to secure more land so that we may have
a real Interclass series or (.nine form of
Intramural football. I will give all of my
game, teaclt tnem our system or defense,
give them enough of an offense to scare,
and go to work to prepare tne nntsneci ma
chine for the hard late October and No
vember matches.
Assistant Coaches
I havo naked "Buck" Wharton and
"By" Dlcksdn to help ma with the varsity
"Buck" Wharton I consider the bC3t line
coach there is. Haugiiton'a line la always
good. And they play at Harvard the
system originated by (ieorgo Woodruff
and Improved and Interpreted by "Buck'
time that can possibly be spared from the What ton. Foster Sanford Is claimed to
varsity work to coacntng aim planning for
an Intramural series. It is my plan to
lle at the University, right at the train
ing house, so 1 will be on deck at all hours
and bo will my assistants.
Intra-mural football, will not only aid
the University to afford manly exercise to
those students desiring it, but It will utep
help the football department by brlnglilg
out a large number of ptaycrs. You never
can tell where your men that make up a
winning team will come from, How very
well I remember the fall of 1906 my
Junior year when we were badly beaten,
be the greatest line coach by Yale and
Rutgers men. Superlatives In matters
like these never get you anywhere but
I am satisfied with "Buck," He knows
me and I know him. We'll pull together
all light and we'll be sure of a good
line.
