iL'S RECONSTRUCTED MACHINE BEST DRAWING CARD PENN HAS HAD IN TEN YEA
fcHANGE IN COACHING SYSTEM
AND FIGHTING OF TEAM HAVE
DOUBLED EECEIPTS OF PENN
JPttotbftll Fans, Satisfied With New Policy and
Bob Folwell, Have Become Enthusiastic, and
Attendance Records Are in Danger
TTOR years the University at Pennsylvania has been handicapped In athletic
" feeoawe the Athletic Association traa not In a healthy nnanclal condition. One
the main reasons why the A. A. did not have as much money as In days Bono
fcr was the falling off ot the football receipts since the break with Harvard after
the 1166 football game. Other gamos wero added to the schedule, but still the
fttntMtasm seemed to be lacking and the receipts from football, which should be
enough to support all other teams, continued to fait off.
' In 18H the football receipts were so small that other athletic teams at Penn
ho were affected, and It Is said that the Athletlo Associationwas thinking nerl
wrtr of abolishing one or two teams, as far as support fromthe association was
concerned. Last year thore was a general Improvement In the recolpts of nil
pert that are nearly self-supporting, while football brought several thousand
toliftra extra; but the 1918 season bids fair to be a record-breaker, and unless the
weather Interferes It will be the greatest year In the history of the great autumn
game fer the lied and Blue Athlotlo Association,
The schedule arrangement has something to do with the great Increase In
receipts, but the real secret Is the change In the coaching systom and tho policy
ef the new regime to do everything possible for tho perioral public Football
is the collegian's game, but If It depended entirely upon the student or collego
graduate to support the teams the game would not flourish long, Penn always
has been able to draw Ithe collegian to Franklin Field for Its football gamos, but
until this fall the general publlo has not enthused much slnco the break with
Harvard,
The change In coaching was the first thing that attracted the general publlo,
Then came, the announcement that there would be no secret practice, no secret
Meetings and none of the mysterious stuff that never did meet with tho approval
f the averago football fhn. Coach Folwell has done everything possible to gain
the confidence of the public, and by turning out a team -with greater fighting
quality and mora of the pull-together spirit again has the football fans flocking
to Franklin Field.
Receipts Doubled for First Four Games
IIVH.I!) receipts ot Penn'a first four games have been almost double the amount
taken In for the first four contests In 1916, and surely will bo twice as much
for the completo schedule, Last season West Virginia drew less than 4500 spec
tators, and the same was ttruo of Franklin and Marshall. Tho latter gamo prob
ably drew less than 1000 paid admissions, as tho student body Is Included In the
above estimate. The F. and M. gome conflicted with the world's sorlcs betweon
the Phillies and Red Box, and a fairly largo percentago of the student body failed
to attend.
It Is estimated that there wore at least 7600 persons on hand for each of
the first two games this fall, while the Bwarthmore battle drow almost 15,000
persons, which Is doublo thfe attendnnco at any of the preliminary games In 1815.
On Saturday 18,300 football enthusiasts saw Penn win Its surprising vlctqry,
whereas lost fall less than 8000 wero on hand when Stato defeatod the Rod and
Blue. Thus It Is easy to 'figure that to date Penn has played to twice as many
people, and the receipts havo at least been doubled, as the' high-priced reserve
eats, placed on sale at the Athletlo Association and In the center of tho city,
have been sold out two days beforo each of the last two games.
There was a time whon the reserved seats were the lost to be sold for the
early games, and It always was possible to purchase them at Franklin Field a
few momenta before the games started, but this season the only empty seats for
both the Bwarthmore and State games have been seen In the lowest-priced section
ot tho east stand.
fi,V And it must be admitted that those who have attended the four games played
by Penn his tall have gptten a run for their money. The slow. Indifferent, list
less battles of 1916 have inot been repeated. Whereas a year ago the Penn team
ran its plays off slowly and killed a lot of time, Folwell's team Is hustling every,
minute and has played the kind of football that tho fans like.
Record Crowd Will See Pitt Game
rrUTQ arrangement of tho schedule for the rest of the season assures Penn record-
breaking receipts, provided tho weather Is good. If Penn played Pittsburgh on
Franklin Field it would be Impossible to crowd more than 24,000 spectators Into
the field, and It Is possible that the attendance may have been below that figure,
but playing In Pittsburgh the gamo surely wfll draw more than 85,000 people.
Almost 20,000 seats have been oold already.
According to the agreement between the two colleges, Penn Is to receive
flat guarantee or the privilege of talcing fifty per cent ot the receipts, and It
Is sate to predict that the management will take the percentage, which will ex
ceed the guarantee. Penn again Is favored by the breaks In having the Michigan
game scheduled for Ann Arbor. Last year the Michigan game attracted less
than 10,000 persons, and probably would not draw more this yoar, as tho publlo
does not seem to enthuse much over this lntersectlonal battle; but at Ann Arbor
K Is virtually certain that 24,000 or 25,000 will be present.
Dartmouth drew well In Boston lost year, but the weather was poor and
the game should attract a larger crowd here this season. Lafayette had a
strong team and defeated Penn lost year, but Folwell's team did not draw more
than 8000 fans despite the fact that It was a, November game. This season
Lafayette does not look so strong, but It the Penn team continues to Improve
and plays the niuno aggressive brand of football almost twice as many, people
.will attend this game.
Cornell can be depended upon to draw a-capacity crowd. The annual Thanks
giving battle packed Franklin Field last season when it waa apparent that
nothing but a miracle would save the Red and Blue from defeat, and the en
thusiasm and demand for tickets probably will be greater this year. The West
Virginia Wesleyan game, scheduled for the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Is
an added attraction, and while It Is doubtful If this contest will attract mo.ro than
8000, It will be clear profit, 'AH things considered, It Is apparent that Penn will
have the biggest football year In Its history, and next season It will be possible
to carry out a few plans that have been held up because ot the lack of funds.
iM Small Boy Spoiled State Plar
AN INCIDENT occurred at Franklin Field on Saturday that probably never
has been duplicated on a big college gridiron, yet It seemed .to escape notice
In the heat of battle, except by a few persons In the south stand and Head Linesman
Merrlman, who was too amazed to realize that he should have Inflicted a penalty
a Penn. '
While the officials were trying to decide whether any of the players should
he put out ot the game for the free-for-all fight, one of the State ends slipped
cross the field and was stretched at full length on the ground with the Intention
ot receiving a forward pass unmolested when play was resumed. The officials
finally decided that no one should be banished from the game and no penalty,
,Wm Inflicted, and the teams were lined up ready to resume play, with State
'prepared to pull a forward pass to the uncovered end when the Interruption
eeurred.
A small boy, who was cheering himself hoarse at the prospect of a Penn
.vtetory, saw the uncovered end, and, to the amazement of those sitting nearby
in -the South Btand, climbed over the railing, ran out upon the field and called
the attention of a Penn back to the State end. Read Linesman Merrlman grabbed
the youngster or ho probably would have been right In the 'center ot the play,
but the lad had accomplished his purpose, and the official was so amazed that ho
Selected to penalize Penn for this unusual coaching from the side lines.
The disqualification of Lew Martin, the brilliant forward of Penn's champion
basketball team, will leave a large hole for Coach Jourdet to fill. Martin was the
beat floor worker on the Red and Blue team last winter, and even If he Is declared
HfMtte after the mid-year examinations' his absence in the early games may.

PROS THINK GOLF SCORERS
NEVER SHOULD BE OMITTED
FROM OPEN TOURNAMENTS
Tallymen Make 'Em
Feel More Comfort
able, They Say.
Caverly-Fox Again
By SANDY McNIIlLICK
NOW that the smoke of battle has blown
away, the prize money whacked up
and mayhap spent, pros In various country
club comers of tho city are bcelnnlng to
express opfttlons on this year's play for the
Philadelphia open golf championship.
For some reason or other, moat of those
who shared In the cash tokens are satls
n.i nnd foci that tho whole affair was a
huge success.
Hut others among the contestants have
many complaints. Chief among the pro
tests Is the thought that a professional golf
tournament should nover have been run oft
without scorers for each pair going out.
It la contended on many sides that It was
a soiree for real money and not for glory,
ns In amateur events, and therefore It
was only a matter of business to have a
tally man go out with each set of golfers.
Off and On Again
"Any old thine Is likely to happen In golf
scores, everybody knows that," ald one
veteran pro today. "Suppose one of us has
been playing a poor game In practice and
hasn't beon able to break 80. Hut In the
actual tournament he comes In under 80,
porhaps with the leading score, the lowest
he has done. He has a sudden return to his
real form. He has a feeling that no one
believes htm, as Indeed few of them do.
The suspicion he knows ho Is under gets on
his game, and perhaps he goes bnd again.
Ho would feel perfectly comfortablo and
aboveboard It there had been a scorer pres
ent as an unbiased witness of his good
shots.
"Then, again, It often happens that two
of the best of friends go out together," con
tinued the pro, "and one looks the other
way while the other grounds his club In the
sand, misses a little bit of a putt, or stands
by when the caddy fixes up the ball, which
has come to rest In a rotten lie. There are
a hundred and one ways two pros can help
each other out, perhaps not by actual
changing ot the soore, but, as I have said,
by not BeeIng" things. It makes every con
testant much moro comfortablo to feel that
the wholo battlo for the money Is on tho
square."
But tho High Character
The local golf association's viewpoint ot
the matter was expressed at the tourney
by Francis Warner, secretary and starter.
"It does not seem necessary, cdnslderlng
the high character and morale of our local
professionals, to send out a man to keep
the scores," said Secretary Warner, "I
have talked the matter over with some of
the other officials, and they agree with
me. We made an effort to get scorers be
cause it had always been done before."
The reason scorers, culled from the ama
teur ranks, did not show up to take out the
different pros was probably due to the re
moteness ot the Phllmont Club, whore the
event was staged, and the lack of train
service, mostly. Tho opening day was so
miserable as to weather that It finished,
more than likely, any thoughts golfers had
of turning out. Then, too, the entry list
was not as classy as ot yore, and there wero
few pros from other parts playing, whom
fans would not have a chance to see In
action at another ttme.
Miss Mildred Caverly, finalist for the
women's championship of the United States,

American League headquarters that the
members of the Boston Red Sox, world's

In the lists for the Philadelphia open last
week was Frank Morasco, who has served
some of his golf apprenticeship as a caddy

Ever tag along in the wake of a smoke-sputtering, gas-coughing
car or truck that had you sputtering and coughing in turn ?
Yes, we all have. And more than once we could have been
arrested for what we thought of the driver in the car ahead.
With careful driving and proper lubrication, cars should not
smolre with the emphasis on "proper lubrication."
Atlantic Polarine is "proper lubrica
tion" for 8 out of 10 cars. It is the famous
year-round oil that is exactly right under
all driving conditions.
In all alternative cases, one of the
other three principal motor oils Atlan
tic "Light," Atlantic "Medium," or Atlan
tic "Heavy" is the one to use.
Here is a group of four motor oils pro
duced by the oldest and largest manu
facturers of lubricating oils in the
entire world.
The group is a result of patient re-
search and experimentation conducted in
a manner that a plant of smaller.size and
equipment could not have attempted.
Motor experts and oil specialists seri
ously recommend these oils as the
correct lubricants for YOU.
Inactual tests ithosbeen demonstrated
that a properly lubricated car will often
yield a3 much as five more miles to the
gallon of gasoline.
Ask your garageman which of these
four oils is best suited to your particular
car, then buy that oil and use it
Read up oa this subject. We have published a handiome and comprehensive)
book about lubrication. It b free. Aik your tfaratfe for It. If they cannot
