ENN COACHES HANDICAPPED BY LACK OF DEPENDABLE SUBSTITUTES FOR. LINE POSITION
: 2 . , ,
DEVELOPMENT OF WONDERFUL
LINE At PENN ACCOMPLISHED,
" DESPITE DEARTH OF MATERIAL
Folwell Has Very Few Substitute Forwards Capa
ble of Holding Up Against Experienced Oppo
nents Baekf ield May Be Changed
- f --
VtOOTBAItt coaches, erlttea and opponent of renn'a ftRhtlnB eleven are
ananrmona In the opinion that the Ueil and Blue lino la as -strong- defensively
M a-r tn the entire country. They marvel at the rapid development of the Penn
fhHrarde, and probably would bo amased If they knew the true conditions. An a
Matter of fact, I'enn 'la weaker In line material than It hoa been In years, and the
feet that such excellent results have been shown la due to the tireless efforts and
tterer coaching of Folwell, Dlckaon, Oaston and Wharton.
Tenn has less hitch-claw line material than any other large college eleven,
M4.it really la remarkable that thla department la bo strong. The disqualification
C B4H Nelll leavea Penn with only three guards who are capable of holding up
tbelr end against a strong attack, and tho tackle material la bo weak that Vrtrk
man, the substitute guard, moves over to tackle If Mathews or Little retires from
the game.
Lud Wray la the only center In the aquad who really understands how the
position should be played his younger brother being too Inexperienced for an
important game There are only fcur enda of clnaa In tho entlro aquad, and for
the greater part of tho aeason both Crano and Young, tho substitutes to Heinle
Xlller and Urquhart, have not been ablo to report for prnctlco until after o'clock.
By Dickson has had a hard time developing enda thla season because of tho class
Work Of the most likely candidates and the scarcity of good material.
Folwelt haa many substitutes for every line position, but they nil are below
the big college standard excepting the two utility ends and Wirkman. Iloblnson
understands how to play guard, but lacks the phyalquo to put hla technical knowl
edge Into operation. Bwann la too green to be trusted In a guard position In ivn
Important game, and tho same la true of Derg, who haa beon with tho aquad
only a few days? Wagoner, the only substitute tackle worthy of consideration,
Jo lacks expcrlenco, and that la why Wirkman, whose regular position is at
guard, haa been ahttted over to tackle. ,-
Ni
Conditions Will Be Different Next Season
OTHER coach of a 'large college eleven la handicapped as much na
Folwelt In thla respect, desplto the fact that we hear so much of hla wonder
ful lino and lino material. It Is a wonderful line, but If the old saying that a team
.. Is Just as strong as Ita reserve strength la true, then Penn Is weak in Its strongest
department.
At Tale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Pittsburgh, Syracuso and other eastern
colleges the coaches have at least four seasoned substitutes for every position,
And these teams really are not handicapped so much by Injuries to regular line
men. If Penn is unlucky enough to have two or three linemen Injured In a game
It will be a miracle If tho opposing team 1b stopped. And this la realized by tho
Red and Blue coaches, who are spending more time on tho line than on tho back
field, despite the fact that erratic play In the latter department has been the
greatest handicap to date.
Conditions will be different next season. The old Penn spirit hoa returned,
aa was proved beyond doubt last Thursday night, before tho Red and Blue eleven
departed for Pittsburgh, and again yesterday, when a losing team was given aa
great a reception as any winner Penn has had In years. When enthusiasm la
running high tho list of football candidates will be largo, and next fall virtually
all the big men In college will be'candldates for tho team, whether they are
experienced or green. r
The entire student bod"y turned out to welcome the team yesterday. Even
'Provost Smith, who Usually follows the work of the team with only passing In
terest, has become enthusiastic, and made a stirring speech to tho football team
and student body during the demonstration. Coach Folwell prodlcted that Penn
would win at least four and possibly five of the remaining games on the schedule,
and as "Fighting Bob" la not given to making ldlo boasts tho student body and
general public can rest assured that tho Red and Blue coach haa received favorable
reports from the scouts who have been following the work of Lafayette, Dart
mouth, Michigan, West Virginia Wesleyan and Cornell, It Is said that Folwell
fears Michigan moro than any other team on the schedule, the Maize and Bluo
team being touted as the strongest Wolverine eleven since Jimmy's Craig's last
year.
New Backfield for Lafayette Game
-T)ENN probably will have a new backfield again on Saturday. It Is believed
A that Jimmy Bryant, quarterback on last season's freshman eleven, will pilot
the team, Light's work against Pitt and his poor physical condition being respon
sible for the change. Bryant is not the equal of Light in general play, but Is a
better team director than any man in the rquad, and that la. what Tenn ncods
tnont at the present time.
It is said that Light may do shitted to halfback, replacing Graves Williams,
Whoso work haa not been up to the early-season, standard. If 'this Is truo, the
burden of Penn's offenae will be placed entirely upon the shoulders of Berry, as
Deir and Bryant are not Btrong In this department, while Light has not as yet
shown anything out of the ordinary as a running back. Unless Berry's Injured
knee mends sooner than is expected it would be Impossible to make this shift, as
BUI Qulgley, Berry's substitute, la not versatile enough to carry the offensive '
burden,
Coach Folwell would like to uso Ertresvaag in the backfield, but the absence
of high-class line material and tho fact that the season la half over makes this
Impossible. Next season Folwell plans to use Ertresvaag In the backfield, and he
believes the youngster will develop lntoa star. He is a natural back, and had llttlo
experience in the line until this season. Considering the short time he has been
playing guard, Estreavaag's work has been wonderful, and Folwell has ceased
worrying about his position.
...
Every season Yale haa almost as many coaches as varsity players lato in the
season, and stars of other years are beginning to arrive at New Haven, Foster
Rockwell, the sensational quarterback of the 1904, 1905 and 1906 teams and later '
coach of Sammy Morse's eleven. Joined the coaching staff yesterday. Rockwell
will look after the quarterbacks for the rest of the season,
...
Trls Speaker's presence in Cleveland, at the banquet of Owner Jim Dunn, gave
rl to the report that the leading Mugger of tho American League Is to succeed
Lee Fohl as manager of the Indians. Just why Fohl should be released Is n
mystery, as he surely has mads good. There are few managers In the gamo who
would have been able to keep Cleve'and in the race as long as Fohl did last season,
with a badly crippled pitching, staff. If Cleveland lata Fohl out there are several
'wnera likely to dicker with him at once.
,
'Harry Fisher, for twelve years tho leading basketball coach of the East, will
net nndle,ColumbIa's five this winter- Fisher has decided to give up the game,
wing to buslnea pressure. During Fisher's regime aa coach Columbia won five
Intercollegiate titles and tied Cornell once. Fisher also played on tho champion
hip Columbia teams' of 1903 and 1904. Only one game was lost in these two Bea
ten, and that contest was with an independent team.
...
Philadelphia fans saw a real little battler last night at the Olympia, Dick
Leadman, of Buffalo, proved what a hit an aggressive boxer can make, and even
though the visitor was beaten by Lew Tlndler he carried the liouso by' storm.
Loadman ta net a boxer; he doesn't know even how to Jab, but cleverness is for
gotten when a kid wades into an opponent in a perfectly good imitation of a street
brawl. Leadman, no doubt, will be rebooked in Philadelphia and against an op
yttnent of equal height the Buffalo lad probably would make a battle even more
totereetlng than last night.

TEN SIXTY-YEAR-OLD ATHLETES
FORM PRANKFORD GOLF TEAM;
HURL DEFI IN WORLD'S TEETH
Fan
ship
glory and the old man's champion
ship of. the United States. Ten patri
archs, sunbrown. of wrinkled neck and clear
of aged eye, threw down the gauntlet today
to the whole world-wide realm of golfdom
In a challenge over tho links for the team
title of America.
The sweeping Cen was Issued through n.
S. Davis, Select Councilman from his ward,
golf fan extraordinary, and captain of the
spirited veterans who would go forth to bat
tle. The whole ten of them are from the
Prankford Country Club. The combined ngo
of the band of Methusaleans Is moro
than six hundred and fifty years.
The conditions or the match are these:
Every member of tho team must be at least
sbcty years old, and no handicaps will be
given golfers of extreme ago, 100 yearn or
so. livery pre-Adamltcr on tho team
must belong to the same country club. The
conditions of tho play will be determined
by envoys from eaclv team, but the spirited
Frankfordlans don't gtve a rip whether the
ploy Is match or medal, or noth.
What the grandfather! team wants Is
action.
It Is distinctly stated In the challenge
that clubs such aa the Ozdne Club, made up
of members of different clubt are not eligi
ble. All the fellers must bo net he mem
bers of tho same country club.
"Cap" Davis Intimated today that, If they
had the nerve to accept, there was a Hock
of old men over In the Cricket Club, right
here in this cltys that would make "good
practice" for his team.
"We'd like to clean up a -couple of local
teams Just to get our team going nicely,"
said the Trankford Nestor, "and then wo
i an give other teams around the country
what's coming to them."
Tho Frankford line-up, wlth-Oolf Associa
tion of Philadelphia handicaps, follows: E.
S. Davis, captain, 11; Daniel Darren", 12;
Wade Wilson. 8 ; Emmett O'Neill. 14 ; A. J.
Qllmour 14; Harry and Fred Uucklus. 17;
llobert Lewis, 18 ; Ben C. Tlllbnghast, IS :
and tenth man a "dark horso." Several old
men have recently Joined the Frankford
Club, and among them Is said to be a star
of the first order.
Plans for the challenge, definitely decided
upon today, were first hatched at Northfield
last Saturday, on the last day of the tour
nament of the Country Club of Atlantio
City.
By SANDY McNIBLICK
A Rquad of the Frankfordlan Noahs were
gathered In the locker room Immediately
after the bath and were bellowing like
young walruses. The Joshing turned to the
golf successes of Frankford nnd how It
"took the old fellers" to uphold tho glory of
tho club. Some one wished for new fields to
conquer, and that gave the Idea for tho
pilgrimage.
Tho challenge sets a now mark In ath
letic history. The team Is the oldest that
ha ever gone out In competition nnd Is a
grand tribute to golf. There Is no other
outdoor sport, probably, In which Blxty
car-old athletes would long stay In the
running. Uut golf sees no age limit, young
or old.
If recipients of the challenge think they
wilt meet a tottering line-up of graybeards,
quavering of voice, shaky of Ibnb. wearing
black spectacles and hobbling about with
tho aid of a cane, they have a shock coming
to them. The condition of tho Frankford
tram Is one of the finest arguments for
the preserving qualities of tho ancient and
loyal game.
"Cap" Davis, who will play way up at
the head of the team, Is actually n blonde
uith scarce a gray hair on his head. He
was one of the first winners of the gold
medal In the ancient and honorable tourna
ment held annually In Philadelphia.
This year's champion of the "ancients,"
Danny Darrcff, who Is oft mistaken for
Teddy It., Is sot up like nn ox and looks no
more like sixty years on this earth than a
college fullback with a mustache.
Tho falsetto voice Illusion folks have of
mortals having reached the ripo old age of
threescore years Is thundered out of court
b tho roars of "Whispering" Wade Wilson,
whose powerful lung utterances easily out
carry the distance to the longest hole.
Few of those on the team look their mel
low years, and knowing this condition will
probably, hold true of other ancient golf
teams, the Frankfordlans will demand birth
certificate dates to be duly registered be
fore weighing In at the first tee. It Is
likely that some of the far distant chal
lenges will be played, each team on Its own
course, nnd the results be mailed to a ret
ereelng committee.
Speaking of tributes to the game of golf,
the very latest one Is the design on tho back
of the brand-new dimes, samples of which
may be had by gMfers at any bank, simply

J. F. One of the greatest, anyway. Other

Tale's greatness ran more to enda than
to quarterbacks. Probably the five greatest
ends In American football would be listed
as Illnkey, Shevlln. Kilpatrick. Campbell

If there's one thing more than another that sours a man
against motoring and makes him wish he'd stuck to the
horse-and-buggy, it's having to dig down every week or so
to pay for some darned thing that has gotten out o' kelter.
Corrkt lubrication will help to keep your car out of the repair
shop and your hand out of your purse.
Atlantic Polarine is "correct lubrication"
for eight out of ten cars. Under certain con
ditions, one of the other three principal motor
oils Atlantic "Light," Atlantic "Medium" or
'Atlantic "Heavy" may give better results.
But, In all events, at least one of those four
oils is the one best suited to your particular
needs. Ask your garageman which.
Atlantic Motor Oils are to correct lubricatioa
what Atlantic Gasoline, the accepted standard,
is to correct fuel. In either gas or oil, you
can't go wrong on "Atlantic."
Drain your crank-case, wash It out with
a little Rayollght Oil, put In a fresh supply of
pure, honey-clear Atlantic Motor Oil. You'll
have fewer bills for repairs and bo glad you
took the advice of oil experts.
