3 the chairman of the football committee. It abroad and probably vlll not be '
back In this country for several monttm. The coach may not be HlBiied.
'Ttfbut Its a safe bet that all arrangements will be made to have lilm place
his name to a contract beforo Krazler comes back to America.
Bert Bell Is a loud supporter of Bob I'olwell, and It n through the !
efforts of his father, John C. Bell, that the Mulllca Hill farmer was retained
as coach after the controversy concerning the trip to Pasadena. Calif., two
i years ago; but that does not mean that Folwcll will be out at Venn nct
year. The latest rumor Is that football affairs will be In charge of Ui '
Charles Wharton, line coach of a few years ago.
It has been said that Doctor Wharton was offered the position as he.id
coach for 1919, but that he turned down the contract, not lecaue the '
figures did not suit him, but because he was primarily a line couch and not
a. tutor of backfleld candidates Doctor Wharton is a master at Instructing
linemen. He started teaching the forwards at Franklin l'lcld in 1915 and
continued for the following two seasons. In those campaigns the Kcd and
Blue line compared favorably with the strongest in the country.
So far Bob Folwell has not been approached, it is said, in an effort to '
sign him for 1919. Rumor goes that he has been ignored. The schedule
for next season was drawn up without calling him Into conference, it
Vfas unfortunate that he was stricken with influenza last fall and unable i
to attend to the football players until the latter part of the season, but I
that shouldn't be held against him.
tJOLTVELL is a popular man at Pemmglianta and an able voat.li
' judging his ability from the record he has made vol only at
Franklin Field, but at Washington and Jefferson and Lafayette. To
him should be extended the courtesv of immediate consideration
If ha ia not to be at Pennsylvania next season he sliould have o
chance to seek other fields.
Athletics Professor May Be Appointed
FOR years the National Collegiate Association has been talking about an ,
athletic professor, an all-year-around man, who would have the final '
"yes" and "no" in all things sporting, but tip to this year little has been
done beyond talking. It was left to Iafayetto to take action, and the
Easton Institution made the first move by placing Doctor Kutherland, former
Pittsburgh All-Amerlcan guard, In charge. Yale has followed with Dr. Al
Sharps.
Major Mylin J, Pickering, the graduate manager at Franklin Field, was
asked recently if any one had been considered for the position of athletic
professor at Pennsylvania. He evaded the question by saying that for
years colleges have talked of creating such a post and It camo up for an
annual airing at each meeting of the national body, but for years It has
ra confined to discussion.
"What Is your opinion of such an office, and do you think it wise to
Ubllsh it lit Pennsylvania?" he was asked.
li. "I have no opinion," he replied.
ft It has been learned from an authoritative source that Doctor Mc
1 Kenzle has been considered for the post. It also has been stated that
Doctor Wharton Is in line. It was understood that the latter was going
t devote his time as an assistant to Walter Oamp In promoting indus
trial athletics, but the other day at Franklin Field he stated that he was
anxious to get out of the service and back to his practice.

Football Plans Far Advanced in West
TITHHiE a number of colleges In the East have not even selected a coach
for next fall, plans in the West for the Conference campaign have been
formulated In every detail. Not only havo all the coaches been signed and
tho schedule drawn up, but even the officials for the championship games
have been picked.
A meeting of the coaches of the "Big Ten" teams was held m Chicago
this week and a new system was Inaugurated In selecting the arbiters.
The officials were divided into four classes referees, umpires, field Judges
and head linesmen. Frank Birch, Walter Eckersall, J. C. Masker, Joe
Magidsohn, Ray and Robinson have been named as the referees. The first
four named have the pick of the assignments. Birch Is rated as one of the
best officials in the country and has been selected to handle the Important
Chicago-Michigan game in Chicago on November S.
Fred Murphy, coach at Northwestern last jear, who has been suc
ceeded by Charlie Bachman, former Notre Dame star, attended the meeting
and stated that he would not do any coaching this coming season. Captain
.John Li. Griffith, former athletic director at Camp Pike and now chairman
Jot the commission on training camp activities, also was among those
. present. It is said that he may be appointed athletic director at Ames.
XtTITB the war over, great interest is being taken in football in
f " the TTest, and it is predicted that this xcill be the best gridiron
year, both financially and athletically, in the history of the Con
! ference.

Larry Doyle, Heine Zimmerman, Art Metcher and other Xew Yorkers

"Jack is a human dynamo In action. He hops about the infield as If
on steel springs. He covers a world of ground, goes Into the air for drives
arid wild throws and will come up with tho hardest grounders hit his way.
"Moreover, he has a good arm and throws from any position with
swiftness and sureness. The only question remaining to be answered is in
regard to his hitting. Doyle and Fletcher say he hit well with the Kearny
shipyards team !ast fall. But big league pitching is something else again.
"It Is partly because of his doubts concerning Gillespie's hitting that
