OFF NANTUCKET,
NORFOLK HEARS
Destroyed by a British
Cruiser, Captain of
Freighter Says
VICTIM MAY BE THE U-53
Master of English Ship Tells of
Wireless Message Giving
News of Loss
NORFOLK, Va, oct. 19. A report was
received here today that a German sub
marine, which may hae been the U-BJ, has
been destroyed off Nantucket Shoals.
The Rrltlsh steamship North Pacific
while coaling here, reported that she had
been signaled by a British cruiser oft the
coast, and that the cruiser reported by
wireless the sinking of the submarine.
The wireless message, according to the
North Pacific, read as follows:
"Oerman submarine sunk off Nantucket"
The North TacHlc arrived In Hampton
Roads from New Orleans Monday night
Captain Beck, of the North Pacific, re
fused to discuss the report
British officials pointed out that a British
cruiser would hardly report the sinking of
n submarine to a freight ship and express
the belief thnt the wireless message was
merely a warning that a German submarine
had been seen oft Nantucket.
The U-SJ 'Mas last definitely reported by
the captain of the steamship Bovlc as
having been seen nt 6 o'clock last Friday
morning sixty miles esst of Nantucket.
Tho report at that time that the U-boat
nns chasing the Danish Ilelllg Olav was
afterward denied.
The entire world was startled when a
German war submarine, the U-5J, rose out
of the sea on October 8 at Newport R. I.,
and, after delivering a message destined
for Count von BernstorfT, German Ambas
sador to the United States, and paying offi
cial compliments to American naval author
ities, sailed away as mysteriously as she
appeared. Her departure, however, was
soon succeeded by the sinking of five steam
ships oft Nantucket Shoals, and the re
port that the purpose of her trip across the
Atlantic was to Inaugurate a campaign
against allied shipping oft the American
coast
Oi the U-58's victims, three were. British
vessels, one of them the passenger steam
ship Stephano, bound from St John, N. B.,
to New York. Her passengeife, numbering
eighty-three, 'Included many Americana!
The other British ships sent to the bot
tom were the "West Point n'nd .Strathdene.
In addition, the U-53 torpedoed and sunk
tho Dutch steamship Bloomersdtjk, of 1201
tons, and the Christian Knudsen, a Nor-
jneglan tank Steamship, of 2183 tons.- Both
of these latter .'nips sailed from New York
for European ports.
There waa no loss of Ufa.

Faculty Committee Finds
That Guard Has Played
Four Years of Col
lege Football
HARD BLOW TO TEAM
Two of the best guards In the TCnst are
now ou) of competition, and in this In
stance Rob Folnell and his Penn eleven
are the losers. First Kenning, rated by a
number of critics last year as an All-American
man, was stricken with appendicitis,
virtually Incapacitating this star for the
reason. No'w oomesjhe hard blow and one
that bears a "1C O." label. It was dxlvered
by tho faculty committee of the University
of Pennsylvania,' this morning when they
declared Billy Nelll, stellar right guard,
nellgtble.
The loss of Kelll means much to Folwell,
and It will necessitate much work on the
part of Ruck Wharton to develop a man to
fill N'etU's shoes. Two youths now loom up
for the position In Hstresvaag, formerly of
the Shattuck Military Academy, tho school
which produced Ben Derr, and Wagoner,
another lad who has been doing wm fine
work on the scrub team, l'rticvaag was
captain of the freshman to i last year.
Kellt played three yearn on tho Whitman
College eleven at Walla Walla, Washing
ton, and, according to the Penn code,
should be able to compete four yeara In
college, but It Is understood he had been
protested and that .the Penn faculty com
mittee upheld the protest Kelll Is a third
year medical man and this was his second
year on the varsity. The protest claims
that this Is Nelil's fifth year, anil rather
than engage In any controversy the com
mittee barred the star,
Penn's lino was rated as one of the best
In the country, and It was well known
that if Folwell could develop a backfteld
to keep pace with the forwards the Red
and Blue would be able to romp away
with the remaining games on the schedule.
But now It is different Hennlng and Nelll
were the bulwarks of the line, and with
these two big gaps to be filled, the Penn
team still Is an uncertainty ,

The automobile of P. S. Itussel, of
Wynnewood, which was stolen from tn front
of the Itacquet Club on October IS, was
recovered today In New York, and the po
lice believe they have dlscoered a "fence"
In that city, through which many of the
cars stolen In Philadelphia were being dis
posed of.
Four arrests were made. The prisoners
are Frank Allen, John Burro, .Robert Us
ees and Judson Webster, all of New York.
According to the police, Jhey will be ex
tradited and brought to this city.
Tha recovery of Mr Russet's car rivals
almost the exploits of Sherlock Holmes.
Mr. Russel, who Is Ice president of the
Hale & Ktlburn Company, notified the
police Immediately after it was stolen. De
tective Harry Clarke was assigned to the
case, and, following a "hunch," went to
New York. He heard that four men were
attempting to dispose of a car and, follow
ing the clue, went to a garage on West
Ninety-sixth street.
The automobile, which was Identified as

had been repainted and other attempts had
been made tn dlcgulsa It. Detective Clarke
then placed the four men under arrest.
Seven mot Hears stolen In this city have

The police believe that a chain of
