HOBERTSON TO

COACH AT PENN
Irish-American to Help Or
ton With Quaker Ath
letes This Year
ONE-MILE TRACK TRIALS
By TED MEREDITH
All rumors regarding Lawson Robert
son's connections with track nlTalrs nt tlio
University of Pennsylvania consummated
this morning, when tho Athletic Associa
tion announced definitely that the Irish
American coach will como to Franklin
jFleld about tho 1st of next month to as
sist George Orton, tha present coach, In
handling our unusually big Bcquad,
For several months It has been per
sistently reported about tho campus that
Robertson was to take hold of nltalra at
I'enn. I am In position to deny all this.
Mis capacity wilt bo chief assistant to
George Orton until tho closo of tho present
term. Of course, this Is subject to tho
approval of tho Faculty Committee, but
1 do not think that they nlll causa any
hitch.
S This move on tho part of tho A. A. Is
tho result of a big body of men taking nn
mterest In track this spring. Their num
bers hava been nlmost unprecedented
Naturally tho Job of overseeing their prac
tices Is too big for one man. So wo de
cided on Robertson.
i Of course, ho Is to bo with us as as
alstant only until tho term closes In June.
In fact, the A, A. speclned this In submit
ting his namo.to tho Faculty Committee,
Late In Juno thoro will be another meet
ing of the association, and what further
Action will bo taken Is hard to predict.
Tho trials for tho relay team that wilt
run for us next Friday and Saturday wero
held tills morning. Kaufman, Lcnnon,
Dorsay and Popo ran in order from tho
polo to the outside. Joo Lockwood, who
Is in the hospital with ptomaine poisoning,
could not start, and Coach Orton thought
he would keep mo out, too, although I
am not 111.
Lennon was tho first homo. Ho defeated
Dorsoy by several yards after the two
ran abreast for all but tho lnsf 40 yards.
As a result, thh pair, with Uockwood nnd
myself, will compose the team. Kaufman
and" Popo finished In order, but could not
'overcome tho great sprint of Lcnnon. The
wjnnlng tlmo was Bl seconds.
Joo Lockwood was taken Blck yesterday
whllo at practice. Tho doctors In tho
students' ward Bay his touch of poisoning
la slight and that he will bo around again
before many days. Lockwood said that
this Is the first tlmo ho has ever had any
trouble of this kind. Wa took him to
the hospital because he can receive better
attention there than at tho training house
With tho Easter vacation here, the
track men have lots of tlmo to get in their
training and aro taking advantage ot the
warm mid-days for their workoutH. This
practlco will bo kept up until next Thurs
day, when the vacation ends. Scotty, our
ground tender, has tho track In fine shape
and Bays all It needs Is a few more warm
days, when It wilt bo fast for tho relays.
In spite of today being a holiday and
tho gym, being closed, tho track room was
opened and tho varsity men got an oppor
tunity to workout. Tomorrow Franklin
Field wilt be a very busy spot, on account
of'ancrther preliminary meet for the second
string men In the morning and a baseball
Eame In tho afternoon.
JIathows Is showing up very well in tho
hammer this season and Is doing great
work considering tho earliness of tho sea
son. Last year Matty took up tho ham
mer for the first time and mado rapid
strides, but could not hold the circle with'
three turns. This year ho ha8 been cut
down to two turns nnd finds little trouble
In staying In tho ring. At present ho Is
throwing HO feet consistently, and gives
promlao of Improvement Just as soon as ho
can get up a little more speed.
Most of tho men have Btayed over for
the vacation. Only one of the varsity
Jsquad has gono home, Jimmy Pceso, but
;ha will return early, besides working while
'away. Pceso has not hit his old-time
form. About a week ago ho looked like
himself again, but since then ho has gono
J back.
Z This Is truo to tho working-out of con
dition; you always find a couple of good
days early in tho year, then take a slump
for about a week, so wo are not discour
aged with Pecso's work.
Of our squad of distance men, De Korn
seems to be the one to Bhow the most im-
'provement bo far. Our hurdlers are not
going as fast as we would like, but they
.are a promising bunch and will be on hand
' for the dual meets If not for the relays.
Things in general are going in fine
shape on Franklin Field and our early
work seems to be most promising.

Rice Sets Forth a Few Reasons to Show "Why
Willard Will Find It Difficult

By GRANTLAND RICE
Adam, Father Adam, had Jiis share of luck, 1 guess;
Ha had to waste but Uttle kale upon his helpmeet's dress
He never heard of Bryan in Ms prehistoric jam,
Nor hyphenated citizens abusing Undo Bams
He never saw a cabaret he never had to cat
With frenzied dancer frantpllnp on his ankles and Ms feet;
1 guess he had Ms ball share of fun and fortune, but
He never played a mashle shot or sunk a ten-foot putt.
Adam wag a lucky bloke in twenty-seven ways;
He never saw the home club make a batch of bonchcad plays:
He never had a bore take tip the big war, blow for blow,
And outline what should happen from the Bug unto the Po;
And then, again in all his life a record that Is par,
' He never heard a joke about a certain brand of car;
And yet he never had a chanco to moan his bitter fata
Of how he got a "ninety" and deserved a "sixty-eight."

Any ono who figures that Clmrlea Frsin
cla Mornn has surrendered his destiny to
fate after tho Willard affair Is flounder
ing; down nn offsldo byway. Tho big Irish
man still believes down In tho pit of his
red heart that ho will yet bo champon of
tho world, for ho is confident that within
another year Increasing weight will force
willard from the ring.
"In tho first place," says Frank, "Wil
lard doesn't care nbout tho game. In tho
second place, he put on moro than IB
jiunds In a year that oven hard train
ing couldn't talio away. By another year
ho will bo beyond training down for any
20-round fight. Tho combination will be
enough to count him out of It. In the
meanwhlto I am planning to clean up tho
rest of tho field so decisively that thero
will bo no sort of doubt as to tho Ulg
Follow's logical successor. I start with
Jack Dillon next month, nnd after that
tho next ono ready can tako his turn until
tho traffic Is cleared."
They Come They Go
Ten years ngo, when Larry Lajolo was
managing tho Cleveland Club, wo took n
spring training trip with tho hard hitting
Frenchman This week wo spent tho bet
ter part of nn evening with Larry, talking
mer the old days and tho old bunch.
It Is only In such reminiscences that
one notes how swiftly they fade out In
this game. Of tho big squad that Larry
had that season, eight of whom wero .300
hitters, ono man rcmalnB today. Tuck
Turner is tho last of tho old Naps. Addlo
Joss Is dead. Dusty Rhoades owns a
movlo house out West. Bill Bernhard is
umpiring In tho Southern League. Bill
Bradley has faded back to tho minors.
So has Gcorgo Stovall. Nig Clarko Is
with Memphis. Frlck hna dropped out ot
tho game, and so has Earl Moore. La
jolo and Turner alono are left In the major
leagues. Ten years in other Industries
Is a brlof span. In baseball It 13 longer
than most careers.
Pat and the Phils
Tho fact that a number of eminent
experts have counted Pat Moran and hla
Phillies out of tho flag raco la bothering
Patrick about as much as If some ono
had asked him for tho loan of a match.
Pat remembers well enough last season,
when ho was doomed. In tho dope to finish
a rickety fifth. So, being picked to finish
third or fourth Isn't scrambling up his
sleep this April morning.
All tho dope now extant can't make Pat
