TRACK TEAM SELECTED
The Middle Atlantic States tennis
tournament scheduled for this city dur
Ing tho week of February 17, will be
held on the roof of tho Wanamaker store.
It will be changed to a covered court
event .and a request will be made to tho
executive committee of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association for permission
t6 call the event the national covered
court championship. f
The dimculty in securing suitable
quarters caused the sudden shift from
an Indoor to an outdoor event. Per
haps t may bo news to some that a
"covered court Is not, necessarily a
court with a roof over It. "Covered"
means that the surface of the court Is
covered with linoleum of the kind 'known
as "battleship" linoleum.
Tha two courts on the roof of tho
Wanamaker store are In big wire cages
and can be protected from the wind by
canvas "brakes," but there Is no- roof
overhead. Willi such, weather as has
been provided so far this winter. It Is
perfectly feasible, however, to hold a
tournament In the open air.

nival Is shaping up as one of the most
Important and interesting events of the
collegiate track season.
Yesterday the entry of Earl Gllnllan,
the Notre Dame versatile athlete, was
received. With Johnny Dartels, of Fenn,
the present champion; Thompson, of
Dartmouth, and Gilfillan competing this
contest looms up as one of the best of
the gigantic carnival.
Giinilan competed here last spring,
but claimed ho Injured his knee In the
first event, the running Jump. He Is a
great all-round athlete, having run the
100 yards In 10 1-5 seconds: 120-yard
hurdles In ID 1-5: cleared 22 feet In the
broad Jump; thrown the discus more
than 130 feet and the Javelin 150 feet,
Gilfillan won the shot and discus at the
Western Conference meet lost spring.
' tl Is highly Improbable that Coach
Joe Wright will take the Penn oarsmen
out on the Schuylkill until the latter
part of this month, even though the
weather conditions at the present time
aro suitable for such. There are sev
eral reasons, the main one. being that
there Isn't enough room In the college
boathouse to house the motorboat and
at the same time allow room for tho
taking out of the shell.
Dr. Walter Peet, a member of tho
American Rowing Association and a
noted crew critic, was an interested spec,
tator at the practice yesterday after
noon. After watching the men, Doctor
Peet said: "My chief criticism Is that
the Pennsylvania men relax too much
on the recover. Thus, when they get on
the water the boat will be oft her keel.
which Is fatal to speed. However,
Wright will correct this, and, with hlo
sclentlllo angle of the blades on the
catch, the boat will be stabilized.
"Thomas, the -stroke man. Is an Ideal
athlete for the place. Not only Is he
a wonderful human physically, but he
has the brains to put his potentiality
into kinetic foot pounds. The foro and
aft torso swing of the Quakers is uell
nigh perfect, as Is the shoot-out of the
hands at tha beginnng of tho recover."

Our Coal Prices
Adjusted
For over a-year we have been compelled to pay and
thereby charge a higher price than some of our competi
tors. ' ' -. ,
The President of the United States and the Federal
Fuel Administration at Washington, D. C, ordered it so.
We believed it was wrong and objected. But we
took our medicine like many other Loyal Americans.
We played the game square.
We delivered Good Coal.
We gave decent polite service , to. morq consumers
than we ever served before.
Today we can and do adjust our Cash Prices.
