t (Captain 1010 Tttm Football Team).
2 i Tha loss of Bob Folwell as coach of the
'J TJntverolty of Pennsylvania football team
. , tccAUJe ot the opposition of the faculty
' f .ommltte If causing a great deal of ad
revere, criticism In every quarter. It la folt
'fcy all who know him personally that a
" fcreiU mlstaVo has been made. It was with
(. treat deal or surprise that I nearu me
ews. Since that time I have been accosted
by at least a doien Pcnn men. among them
eld football stnrs and one former coach.
Every one said the tame thing! "It la a
home that so fine a follow as Hob should
be forced to underco the humiliation of such
open charg-ea as havo been made against
Ms character." Then they all ndded that
they could not. knowlne Hob as. they did,
believe In the truth of them.
As captain of the team which Dob
coached I feel that It Is my duty to express
ny feeling and the team's feeling for Hob
Kolwell, and also toll all I know of his
actions during the last season.
, In the 'first place, I doubt It there has
ver been a coach fit the I'nlverslty of
Pennsylvania who commanded the love and
admiration of his men to the decree that
Folwell did. Every man on-tho team will
tell you that he Is a big, generous-hearted
MAN. They all trusted and belle ed In him
and felt more like a brother toward him
than as a coach. He mingled w Ith the men
nd mado'hlmself a good fejlow when oft
the field. Once the football togs were
donned, however, ho became the master,
with but one Idea to teach football and to
teach It to win.
This spirit of camaraderie probably Is
What led to the criticism about his playing
cards with the players. I know, and every
one else who Is familiar with the handling
of athletic teams knows, that no matter
where you go or how far you go you will
not find a set of young fellows who ure In
flno physical shape who will mako a long
Journey and not havo some diversion, such
s playing cards. Folwell, besides sanc
tioning card playing becauso he was a good
fellow and enjoyed the good fellowship of
the players Joined In the game with them.
This Is what he i condemned for.
It Is claimed that this Injured the mirals
of the players. I contradict that statement
most strenuously; thero never has been a
team upon which I have played where card
playing has not been allowed, and I do not
believe that I or any one else on the team
has slid down the moral scale.
Then again, ho Is criticized for his lax
Bess with us after wo had played a game. I
think that this, moro than to anything else.
Is responsible for our success during the
'last season. These brief respites had moro
to do with our not going stale, as Pcnn
teams have dono for the last two years,
than to any other thing. It was part of
tho Folwell system, and Just how well It
has worked out can bo ascertained by
looking up Eob's record.
He brought us out of the mire and pro
duced a winning team. Why, then, ques
tion his methods as long as they are up
right and aboveboard?
True, his methods are not the old cut-and-tlried
antiques which have been handed out
at Penn for years and years; but they won.
1 deny that his personal Influence was bad
for the moral training of the players. If,
then, his system is not degrading, and It is
conducive of bringing victories, why should
the members of the faculty commltteoobJect
to having him?
If the football committee had decided
that It did not want Bob Folwell as coach
becauso his methods were not satisfactory
and becauso of them It was afraid of
failure In the future I should say noth
ing and abid by their decision quietly, but
to sit calmly aside, and to hear a man's
character assailed whom I know to bo a
man through and through that I cannot
do. I hope I have conveyed my feellngB. I
feel that a wrong has been done, and I
know that every one on last ear's team
wlll stick to Bob Folwell and help him
prove himself to those who doubt him.

Aster's maintenance for the first three years
and a Jialf of his life from August 14,1912,
to Debember 31, 1916 ooat J86.0J4. This
was discussed In an accounting filed yester
day In the Surrogate's Court by his mother,
Mrs. Madeline Talmage Forco Astor Dick, as
guardian. Although the Income from the
13,000,000 trust fund which Colonel Astor
provided In his will for any child of the
baby's mother which might survive him
j has averaged 3140,000 a year, Mrs. Dick
'said In her accounting that sho had paid
out 325,674 moro than the 360,300 the ex
ecutors had allowed her,
Mrs. Dick charges the baby with one
third of the cost of maintaining her homo
at 840 Fifth avenue and with one-third of
'the taxes, and asserts that her lawyer,
Henry A. Oilderslecve, advised her that
such a charge was proper and reasonable.
It clearly appears, she says, that by the
terms of Colonel Astor's will "it was his
Intentloi to provldo a sum for the support
and maintenance of the Infant ample to
eecur everything for Its comfort, welfare
Csd education that money could provide."

Continued from rate One
tlon president continued, "but It H born In
the men, and nil the other teams do the
same thing. If Folwell was told. not to
let the. men play cards, well and good. But
If he was not. and there has been no evi
dence that he has, then I think It h ridicu
lous for him to have beert expected to cut
it out. That would havo been revolutionary,
and I don't believe In revolutions anyhow.
I believe In gradual colntlon for better
things, and I bellee that Folwell was
making for greater progress along that
line than any other football coach wo hao
had. Doctor Wharton and 'By' Dickson
were with him, too."
Hart, who Is familiarly known nt tho
University as "Jack." said that he know
nothing of the inside of the trip to Cali
fornia. "The board of coaches wanted me to go,
but tho funds were not raised." smiled
Hart, "so I didn't go. Uut I wasn't to be
a spy, as hai been unfairly said. I hope
I am right In thinking that they thought
I might have a little chance to help the
boys a bit on tho trip. I havo talked with
some oS tho placrs, and each Is emphatic
that B4b Folwell has taught him cleaner
ways on the gridiron and In ordinary life.
My own roommato Is on tho squad, and ho
sajs Folwell has helped him In cery way.
Of course, there are many things nt tho
University of which I do not upprote, but
from what I know of Bob Folwell, I will
back him all the time."
OOODSPKED EVASIVU
Following tho secret meeting or the foot
ball committee yesterday, Dr Arthur W.
Qoodopced, chairman of tho faculty com
mittee, said today that ho lud been In
communication with Provost Smith, but re
fused to nay what the purpose of the faculty
commltteo meeting today would be.
"Will you start Folwell off with a clean
slato and discuss tho whole matter regard
less ot anything that has been said or
done7" Doctor CJoodsped was asked.
"I cannot say."
"Will ou reconsider the Folwell case at
the meeting?"
'There Is nothing to reconlder," replied
Doctor Ooodspeed.
"What Is the purposo of the meeting?"
"I cannot say."
Provost Smith said yesterday that tho
first Intimation ho had had of nnv dis
crepancy in Folwell's conduct was jester
day, when tho news first broke. Doctor
Goodspccd admitted that ho had been In
communication with tho proost slnco that
statement.
"I am always In communication nlth
the provost, at alt times," s.ild Doctor
Uoodspced.
"Did you discuss Folwell?
"I cannot say."
"Have you been In communication with
tho legislators nt Harrlxburg who have
signed a statement for tho reinstatement
of Folwell?" Doctor Goodspeed was then
asked.
"I have heard nothing from them, only
that which I have read In tho paper."
"Would they be welcome at tho meeting?"
was tho next question.
"Certainly wo would bo glad to see them,"
said Doctor Goodspeed. "I personally um
always glad to talk to graduates"
"Will Folwell be at tho meeting?"
"He will not."
Doctor Goodspeed said that thero would
bo no statement for tbo press after tho
meeting. Ho said that If thero was nny
news for the public It would come nut
through the regular publicity agent of tho
Unlerslty.
Charles Lovett, manager of the 191 C foot
ball team which Folwell coached, denied
that ho had been Instructed by tho faculty
to make a full report on the conduct of the
team while on the trip to California and
said that he had not made any such state
ment. "That's a lot of bunk," said the ex-manager
vigorously today.
Ho said that everybody had played cards
on tho trip but Dr. B, 'Talt McKenzte, and
that no one had thought anything of It till
.the news of Folwell's dismissal yesterday.
"Folwell Is the finest kind of a man,"
said Lovett, "and alt tho fellows that were
with him during the season wilt stock to
him to the finish. We want htm back for
the good of dear Old Penn."
No special edition of the University daily
newspaper, Tho Pcnnsylvanlan, was put out
today. Tho special "wuxtry" was to havo
been peddled about with all the latest
findings ot the students themselves In favor
of the man who Is now tho hero und the
Idol of the boys as never before. Bob
Folwell. It was to have contained Inter
views with all tho prominent men of the
University nnd with a number of (he old
"grads." But Inasmuch as the "Job" of
writing the "hot shot" editorial would have
fallen to tho pen-hand of Walter Yust,
editor-in-chief of the paper, It was felt Im
possible to get out the edition, since Yust
is a member of tho faculty committee which
put the final bars upon Folwell.
The extra will bo printed tomorrow, It
Is thought, provided tho developments of
the faculty meeting today aro favorable.
The circulation ot petitions has not been
started as et under any organized student
direction, despite announcements yesterday
to the effect that 4000 students and 3000
alumni had already signed up.
In the 2000-word review which Dr, B.
Talt McKcnzle, phvslcal examiner of tho
University's athletic teams, has written for
the February Issue ot the Alumni Iteglstcr,
there Is little which might be construed ns
being defamatory to tho character of Fol
well. v
In tho report, which appears on page
340 of the lssuo which appeared to-day,
Doctor MclCenzle made several references
to the California trip.
"We returned on the Iehlgh "Valley Rail
road," he saya In the article, "after an
Instructive and enjoyablo trip which only
lacked victory to mako It complete
"nastern teams going west must bo at
least 25 per cent better than tho Western
team In order to win.
"The long gap after our final game, the
five days' confinement In tho train, and
th many distractions supplied by thu
hospitable Callfornlans surely tell or a
Unm's condition, but one' should not Inf'.r
that we met anything but a first-class
team."
In speaking oi the entertainment after
the game supplied by alumni at San
1'VriicIeco, Doctcj McKenzio said!
"When our team was In San Francisco
the vvhcla party was entertained nt the
Olymplo Club and there was a splendid
welcome In spite of defeat Dickson and
Wharton spoke for the coaches."
He then adds that Folwell had remained
In Pasadena with his brother.
The controversy, which Is rocking the
athletic world of Philadelphia, as well as
the undergraduate and alumni body ot the
University, has come to the point where
either of two things can happen, to wit: If
Folwell goes, the so-called "Old Guard"
will continue In power and rule with a
heavier hand than heretofore. If Folwell
wins his battle and succeeds In having his
name acted favorably on by the committee
which has already repudiated him, Penn
athletics will be conducted along different
lines In the future, with the powers of the
faculty committee greatly curtailed.
This Is the issue which will be decided
one way or the other when the committee
meets at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Presi
dent Clarke, of the senior class, will attend
'the meeting as a representative of the stu
dent body, and It ! likely that a committee
of alumni, now legislators at Harrlsburg,
will also be among those present. Their
presence In the Interests of Folwell Is sig
nificant, as the University receives a target,
appropriation from the State at regular
Intervals.
The outcome of the meeting will be
awaited with great Interest by friends of
Peon 'football. The committee will be

teemen w"l lay before Clarke, who repre
sents the students, their reasons for striking
Folwell's name from the Its! of eligible,
and Clarke will act on that Information.
MEETING CALLED SUDDENLY
It was less than twenty-four hours after
Doctor Goodspeed had announced to tho
newspapers that Folwell was not satis
factory to his commltteo that the nrbltrary
repudiation of tho most successful coach
Penn has had In years was overruled and
a reconsideration ordered. Whether the
meeting to be hold today was called at tho
Instigation of Provost Smith or by Doctor
Goodspeed ns a result of the storm of pro
test over tho dropping of Folwell Is not
known. It Is evident, however, that somo
pressuro was brought to bear on the faculty
committee, ns the chairman of the commit
tee Informed tho writer on Monday night
that no meeting would be held until tho
second Tuesday In February,
The highlights of yesterday's events fol
lowed each other In rapid sequence. Shortly
after the announcement of tho protest from
the State legislators, Folwell was called In
to conference with Provost Smith. Several
hours later It became known that the
faculty commltteo would meet today and
reopen the caso.
Aftir coming from his Interview with the
Provost, Folwell Raid that his conversation
with tho University head had been most
pleasant. Ho stated that ho had laid his
caso before Ptovost Smith and asked that
an Investigation bo held
"I tried to Impress on Provost Smith
that I had nothing to conceal." he con
tinued. "I told him that I believed tho
Penn team this year had been as well be
haved as any In tho country, nnd that whllt
tho training rules c6uld not bo followed
Up ns closely on a slx-d.iy trip as they
could In a training house, the moiale of tho
team was first class
"Tho provost said that the action of tho
faculty committee was a coinplt'fc surprise
to him, nnd was kind enough to add that
he had never heard any criticism of eltln-r
the conduct of my team or mvself until to
day. On the contrary, ho called my atten
tion to Mini; unolllclal repot ts that my
vvoil; this season was satisfactory."
Tho deposed coach was n happv mar
when he was told that his cato would no
reopened nt the faculty meeting todav
"1 think that I havo n tight to hear of
the charges against m nnd to a knowledge
of who makes them," said Folwell. "Thero
Becms to be a feeling everywhere that It Is
all tho reyult ot the California trip, which
Is not altogether correct. I was spied upon
on every trip that tho team look, nnd I
submit It Is posslblo under such surveillance
to find things which may be wrongly con
strued In any man's dally actions."
STUDENTS HAVE BONFIRE
AND YELL FOR FOLWELL
Dormitory Tenants at University March
About Quadrangle in Remarkable
Demonstration
Tongues of fiamo that leaped from a bon
fire twenty feet high told tho suronindlng
country last night that tho 4000 students
who live In the dormitories were with "Bob"
Folwell, tho football conch of last year's
football eleven, to a man. It was the cap
sheaf to ono of the greatest demonstiatlons
to a slnglo Individual In the hlstorv of the
Quadiangic, and tho wild incket of the boys
In tho "dorms" kept up through tho night.
About this blazing pllo a gang of young
Indians did a sun dance In imitation ot thu
Choctaws, Apaches and other denizens of
tho plains, while they awakened the mid
night echoes with shrill warwhoops, cheers
for Folwell and n derisive croak for tho
faculty athletic comniltee. Crockery was
hurled from the windows, electric light bulbs
went crashing Into tho flro from the sur
rounding buildings, while a barid ot students,
fantastic figures In bathrobes and pajamas
and other appurtenances of tho simple life,
pranced around the flaming pyramid, yelling
and roaring in a terrific din.
It was a spontaneous outburst for the
popular football coach nnd former Pcnn
gridiron star, and nobody knows Just how it
was planned or who started the rumpus.
Tho Ilrst inkling that anybody in tho dor
mliorleH learned of the coming demonstra
tion camo when somebody started down tho
quadrangle shouting "Yea How bottom!"
As "Hey Bubo" summons tho circus clan
to the front nnd center, mi for fifteen years
has this slogan carried Its message of
"come on" to tho undergraduate of the
university across tho Schujlktll.
Within a few minutes the doorways wero
vomiting students, and tho youngsters came
without any legard for the conventionali
ties or tho chill of the shank of evening.
"Yea Itowbottom" did Its work well, and In
ten minutes there was not a student In
the "dorms" giving his tlmo and attention
to burning tho midnight oil,
Leaders gathered tho pilgrims nnd formed
them Into a snako danco that wriggled and
twisted about tty) quadrangle, rhoerlng like
mad, with Folwell's name tacked to every
outburst. This form of ovation lost its
effervescenco for the noisy youths, so they
changed their tactics nnd got after the
faculty committee on athletics. Some wag
stnrted n derisive college yell dedicated
to the professors who fniled to approve of
the football coach's retention. It ran:
"Chamois bags, chamois bags, sis, boom,
bah!
"Powder purfs, "powder puffs, rah, rah
rahl Faculty, faculty, faculty!"
This, partisan din was screamed Into tho
night for a tlmo, and then tho Folwell
phalanx: tired ot Its parade. The students
bethought themselves of tho real flnalo to
all successful demonstrations a bonfire.
They sent out scouts, who begged and who
borrowed wood, and some who bought wood,
and some but why bother with trivialities?
The pllo was collected. The 400 students
pyramided the boxes and barrels and other
pieces of lumber and timber Into a pile
twenty feet high.
At 11:15 o'clock the torch was applied,
and then the Indians got in their work In
rarnest. They were shouting Folwell's name
and his praises, and deriding tho faculty In
vocal jubilee long after midnight and far
Into the early hours of tho morning.

Berlin to Name Terms

Contlnnnl from I'ase One'
Allies submit a formal request for Ger
many's peaco terms. England and her
nines,, believe they have sufficiently an
swered the German peace terms, as well as
President WIIMm's suggestions. In the three
notes already written. These outlined very
fully the Kntchte's alms nnd the only terms
on which they would be willing even to
consider a termination of the War. But
England believes a spirit of acceptance of
these terms Is a prerequisite to further
consideration by the Alllts of any peace
moves.
First Intimation that Germany was
sending another communication to America
was made In dispatches received here Mon.
day from Berlin. These followed persistent
reports that the Kaiser woqld mark his
birthday by some further peace move.
Whether the German communication Is to
be a formal note, or mere Instructions to
Cqunt Von Bcrnstorff. was not Indicated In
the reports today. It Is known, however,
that tho communication Is to be based on
the President's speech to the Senate.

Intimating that Germany would ackrtowl

This was generally Interpreted ns meaning
that Gtrmnny might outline her peace

FORBI D MINORS TO tfORJt
IN PARENTS' BARROOMS
Stato Department of Labor Anjo Gives
Ruling on Employment
Certificates
HAnilISIlUIia.lnn. SI. Minors are not
ony forbidden to work In barroomB nnd
places where spirituous liquors nro sold,
but they may not work "occasionally" In
such places when their parent are owners,
under an opinion given to Lew H. Palmer,
chief Inspector of tho Stato Department of
Labor and Industry, by Deputy Attorney
General Collins.
"Although tho child's home be that of
the parent." says the opinion, "yet work
In the parent's barroom, although kept In
the same house as tho home, cannot be con
strued ns 'domestic service' within the
meaning of that term, wherein such service
Is excepted from tho nppllcntlon ot the
act. Parental control over minor children,
or right to their labor Is not absolute, but
always subject to tho regulation of tho
law where the welfaro ot tho child needs
the Interference of the law,"
A minor holding an employment certifi
cate does not need to obtain a. new cer
tificate when he removes with his parents
to another district, holds Mr. Collins in
another opinion.

ot the daylight saving movement.
Tho daylight savers today heard John
1C Toner, president of the National Baso
bait League, throw a little sentiment Into
tho question, ,
"Tho subject of daylight saving should
appeal strongly to every man, woman nnd
child who loves the open, who Is enthralled
bv tho wiles of nature, who see beauty In
the green leaf, seeks llfo and vigor In thel
purpose, wno nnus mo Kreuiesi unarm jn
life that of seeking recreation out of doors,"

Then to provo ho was talking brass tacks
and not generalities, he added: '
"The American gamo of baseball never
has had an equal ws an outdoor sport, and
It Is hardly concelvablo that It ever will."
More dnv light, moro baseball, was Tencr's
argument.
Dr. George A. Kuntz asserted that the
moving of tho clock forwnrd nh hour In
summer would moan a total saving of mil
lions of dollars. Vienna cut 3142,000 of Its
