Hero Is another argument for tho promulgation of athletic sports during tho
present Crisis. Berry today Is a wonderful specimen of physical perfection. He
prepared himself for military duty on tho athletic Held, nnd when tho call to arms
ounded he was ready. Ho Is ablo to withstand tho rigors of tho rough-and-ready
life that falls to the lot of a soldier and perhaps Is In better trim than !I0 per cent
of the applicants. He Is an exnmplo of what athletics ran do toward building up
and conditioning a man for a strenuous life, yet In splto of this wo read every
day that a few more colleges have canceled their athletic schedules until ip
War clouds havo blown nway. Perhaps when this wnvo of hysteria passes sports
Will be resumed and a few moro Uerrys developed for tho scrvlro of their country.

"IX7HEN ho was twelve years old Berry was a weakling, but Instead of
"' accepting his fate ho started In to build himself up mi the athletic
field. Why not glvo others the samo chance?
Berry's Departure Will Almost Ruin Football Team Next Fall
TXfHEN Upward Berry leaves tho University of Pennsylvania morn than one
' branch of sports will suffer. Ho Is the star of tho baseball team, of which he
is captain, a good man In track nnd a wonder on the football field. It Is In foot
ball that his loss will most be felt, for Folwell was depending on him to pull the
eleven through the hard schedule. Berry has another year of play, but there will
be no chance to uso It when he receives his appointment from Washington. It
will be for n term of three or four years and by that time he will be firmly In
trenched In the service. With tho famous "Nig" out of the picture, tho gridiron
quad will look very snd. Captain Holtile .Miller. Berfllell and Hohcy Light arc
the only ones left, nnd it will bo a difficult task to build a team around them. The
ubstltuto material also is weak, only six being left to draw from. They are Alex
Wray. center; Johnny Tltzel, tackle; Bob Wagoner, tackle; Manny Wlrkman,
guard; Harry Boss, halfback, and Hay Young, end. Prospects for n good team are
Indeed gloomy, and unless all the dope goes wrong the lied and Blue has an ex
cellent chance to tumble from tho lofty perch It occupied last year. At any rate,
Folwell will havo to show that he Ikih tho ability to develop a team out of gieen
material. There are several members of tho freshman team available, nnd while
no stars are among thpse present, the men were "well coached by Lon Jourdet and
hould flt In with Folwcll's system of play. Charley House, captain and fullback
Of the tenm nnd one of tho best youngsters developed on Franklin Field, has left
J"001' and Al Hedelt. the fullback from Northeast, has entered Temple Prep.
These men might havo been successors to Berry.
,
ALTHOUGH thcro seems to be little possibility of calling off the foot
JrX. ball games next fall, Berry's absence and tho los of tho other members
of thesquad will weaken Penn so much that anything would be welcomed
that uld cancel tho schedule.

fields. It would appear to be written on the canvas as almost a certainty that
t Indoor sports are going to get tho mop when the moguls gather for the winter
debate. The majority of tho big indoor sports t,eek the large buildings and
these are the very roofs that will bo sought out when dillllng starts during tho
cold weather. It will not bo practical at all times to carry on indoor drilling, so
that the big inclosures will be in almost constant demand. This will probably
mean that the indoor track meets, which got su a tremendous, send-off ln tho
last season, will become a thing of tho past.
It is almost sure to mean the banishment of basketball, for many of the
g-league teams havo their homeplato set up in the armories. Grey ock De

APRIL 1ST ON FRIDAY, THE 13TH
Till: Heather fiui

lied another trick yester-
been Alirll 1 Insteiul of
"l-'rld.iy the 13th" the occasion would haw
been "more iipprnprlMlii for tlie sehunl ath
letes. The weatherman fooled the li.im:hall
players, for only one gaum was plajed
Ctermnntnwn Krlends' defeating D.irby High
at Quern I.ane, H to 2.
As a matter of fact the Interscholastle
I.engup and the Interaciidemlu League teams
could havo pluyed their games, for most of
the fields were In kooiI shape. Soon after
the managers made arrangements Uncan
cel their contests the still shone and playing
conditions on many diamonds wero Ideal.
Lose l'aul I'atton, Inflvlder
rierinautown Vrlcnds' lost J'am ration
Inst week, when he Injiiied his ankle and Is
out for the lemalnder of the easoll. I'atton
Is an all-round athlete. He was a regular
on the team, playing second base and other
positions In the Infield.
Chestnut IUII Academy's team looks
strong this year, with such players as (lia
ham, Hooper, Wlllard. Wharton, Boss,
Cramp, Barclay, Dickens, Itometpch and
Captain Martin. Jlnrtln has landed the
shortstop position, .llraham was selected to
twirl In tho ope ling game with the Penn
sylvania Institute team at St. Martins to
day. Cuban Twirlcr at Central
Central High .School has on the pitching
staff a Cuban named CKcar Clarke. Some
predict he will prove tho best twlrler ln
school ranks this season. Coach O'Brien
will probably ue him In the first game next
week. Bill Travis, Mc.Verne). Martin, Har
ris n.nd Krug nre other twlrlers who will
take their turn on the mound for the Crim
son and (Jold. Berger, a catcher. Is showing
up very well In the practice games.
Tlie University of Pennsylxnnla freshman
athletes left hero early this morning for
Port Deposit, Md to meet the Tome School
nine. This Is one of tho Important week
end matches on the roster for today.
Manngcrs Have a Hard Year
Pity tho poor baseball managers! It's
pretty hard to get important games and It's
no easy matter to fit a team out with suits,
arrange for trawling expenses and Inci
dentals nnd scheme bow to make both ends
meet with the season a success In every
particular. Along comes the war and with
it a big upset In the college schedules.
Yale. Harvard nnd Princeton did not ex
empt their freshman athletes when they so
rashly called off all sports. Consequently
Penn Charter's game with Princeton Fresh
Is off today, as well as all the games
the Tiger freshmen had planned to play.
Tho Penn freshmen will lose two nice trips
unless tho unexpected happens, for on May
12 they were to have played Vale at New
Haven and on May 19 Cornell at Ithaca.
Haverford School will not follow in the
footsteps of Havorforg College by discon
tinuing sport, according to Main Line nd
vlces. Therefore Hill School. Penn Fresh
men and other teams on the Hawrford
schedule need not worry about cancellations.

Over There
As through the mists wc looked and dreamed
How far how far away it seemed
Over There;
The red flash of their cannon fire
The flame that lit some reeling spire
The mighty thunder of their nuns
Which sanp the Master Sony of death,
The ghosts which met dawn's risinp suns
And drifted out on April's breath
Beyond dull sweeps of sky and scar
How far aivay it seemed to bc! w
How far aivay it seemeaand then
'c woke and turned ntici looked again
And now where flames of -crimson rise
How close to us how near it lies
Over There ,
The red flesh of their cannon shines
Upon the steel that amis our lines
The mighty thunder seems to bc
Lesi than a half-league from our clan,
Where Fate has turned an ancient sea
To something less than half a span;
') sweeps of sky and sea are gone
Where forming, storming lines rush on,
Waiting the day ahead, until
Old Glory croiuns some battered hill.
'HUKli so many thousands are blotted
out In one charge and so many un
fettered souls are mixed and mingled In
tho drift on beyond ono recalls again

SHIFT IN PENN CREWS;
WOLL IN VARSITY SHELL
Coach -Wright has made the flist Im
portant shift of the year by switching Cap
tain Woll from bow In the Junior varsity
to No. E ln the Ited and Blue first crew.
Oosewlch, who had been the stroke of the
third boat, was muved up to take WolPs
place, while McKlroy was changed from the
varsity to the third crew.
Tho reason for tlie change Was that Woll
Is too heavy a man to row bow, while
Oosewlch, who is twenty-three pounds
lighter. Is an Ideal man for that position.
Wright expressed himself as well pleased
wltli tho practice, and If the junior crew
continues Its good work It will most likely
low as the first crew at Annapolis.
Wright Is working hard to put the finish.

Frederick Fulton, the Ponderous, ap
parently has had tho "ras" dropped gently
but firmly on bis elongated person since
his fouling of Carl Morris It may be
that Fredwill have a dltllcult time, get
ting matches In the future, and this will
eliminate him from' the field of heavyweight
contenders for some thno. The next two
big heavyweight matches haw Carl Mor-1
rls as one of the principals. First the
"Human Locomotive" will' be opposed by
Jim Coffey in New York, April 2.1, and
later the Sopulpa engineer will take on
Frank Moran ln a .fifteen-rounder at Kan
sas City. Since shortly after the Fourth
of July, 1910 almost sewn years Morris
has been trying to flop himself on the heavy-
weiKiii inroiic. 111s reaBon ror entering upon
a fisticuff career was to brine back th
title to a white man's brow after Jack
Johnson had keeled over Jim Jeffries. Then
when Jess Wlllard beat Carl to it Mnrria
decided to keep tho championship in the
Caucasian race, but In lib; possession Instead
of the six-foot-and-somc-lnches Kansan.
Coffey is a fairly good heavyweight and so

Knthuslasm Is as efTectlw In war as It Is ln

machlno baseball has known for more tlmn
a decade was the cold, chilly, unenthusiastic
brigade which Connie Mack sent to battle
between 1910 and 1914, There was no
glamour, no gaudy trappings, no hurrah to
their program. Hut within five year.s
they won four pennants and three world
series. Which is fairly close to the ulti
mate answer.
The Record Chance
No ball club yet has ever won three
world series In succession. The old Cubs
won In 1907 nnd 1908. hut they were
(lagged by the White Sox In 190G and ousted
by the Pirates In 1909.
T''e Jlackmcn bagged the Premier Plum
In 1910 nnd 1911. Hut they were jostled
nslde by tho lied Sox In 1912, only to re
peat a year later. The Ued Sox now are
the only pepple In the game with a chanco to
establish a three-year triumph in the Oc
tober finale.
