Then nrc the Christ-
mnn rnnls alwnvs welcome. There are the usual requests te help thh
and that charity ; we wish our cheeking account was cenalilernlily larger. And
there arc the letter from the I). O. I". who disagree ultu something that has
been written or ask why some ether matter was net discussed.
In the mall Imsket there arc two letters which are apropos of the big news
f the day. One from J. M. D.. Venn '21, Is quite eulogistic (thanks!) and
cencludes: "I would like te have you voice
our opinion of Helsman as next year s coach
at Penn." Anether from II. I).: "I knew n
number of Penn fellows, and the question of
Helsmnn's merits seems te be the chief topic
of discussion nmeng them."
New, Jehn V. Helsman will net be head
field conch at Pennsylvania next season, und
there nuy be no geed reason why a writer en
football topics net a Penn man should discuss
him. However, since n request for an opinion
has come from two sources, we shall give it, and
It may be taken for what It la worth.
The Pennsylvania coach, from what may be
learned and from what one saw at practice mi mi
slens en Pranklin Field, lacked one great essen
tial personality. It Is net the personality of
one of the geed fellows well met te which we
refer. It is the inspiring leadership that puts
the old fight Inte ft squad of college athletes
Which Helsman seemed te lack.
There are certain coaches that possess a something impossible te describe
sjhlch seems te make young men play a whole let bcttir than they knew hew.
Call it what you will: we knew no word mere apt than football pcrkenallty.
Huge Bczdck. of Penn State; Hill Hopr, of Princeton; Pep Warner .of Pitts
burgh, and ether successful gridiron tutors have it. That Is why th?y have
successful teams wherever they may go.
e
.V Till! opinion of many hiij football men with whom tee chatted
Mere tcerc two outstanding facts in connection with football at
Venn in 1912 no college had better material; few, if any, had a su
perior defense. And usually the lied and Blue warriors fought talis-
facterily.
e
Something Lacking in Penn's Play
BUT, as one of the most capable players en the Penn squad expressed it,
"There is something missing in our play and we don't seem te knew just
sjrhat it Is." He was telling the secret without knowing it. There was laek
Ing the personality of a coach who sends a team en the field confident that, as
Mike Murphy was went te put It, they couldn't be licked becaure they wouldn't
be licked.
This Is a sincere criticism of Mr. Hcisman. That he labored faithfully
and Intelligently cannot be disputed. That he knows football and that his
ystem, se far ns gridiron tactics go, was geed, shall net be denied. In his
Dew position of adviser, or whatever title he may have, he perhaps will de
much te give Pennsylvania winning teams. Hut as the head coach he surely
did net bring out the possibilities that were in the fine squad of athletes who
were the Red and Blue this year.
Who will succeed Mr. Helsman' Six wclcs age this was discussed
eTerywhere by Penn men. Jack Keogh, who sulci (fully coached the fresh
men ; Leu Yeung, who has done splendid work as one of the assistant coaches
nnd scouts; Bert Hell, another nssistant coach and a jeung man with n fine
personality; Bill Hollenback, a former coach who has kept in touch with foot
ball and who had the courage te play it well in the Alumni-Varsity game
there you have a quartet from which the new tutor may be selected.
Any one of the four has the Penn spirit and should prove te be nn In
spiring leader. The four together, with one as chief, should develop te a high
point of efficiency the grand material that will make up the Mjuad at Penn
sylvania next fall.
a
0X2? fAtnj; may be confidently pridicted the svecesser te Ilcisman
will be a Pennsylvania man. And this is a it theull be. There
are plenty of heroes of successful elereni who were red and blue jerseys
who knew football. Knew hew te teach it and have the personality
that will give a team the "wen't-be-lickcd" ipint that is the one
big asset.
An Hener Team of Football Stars
ANOTHER letter In our batch slips us the well-known bird (English for
A. raz-berry). It is from A. B who writes: "What's the trouble, old
timer? I have eagerly read your column hoping te iind there nn Ail-American
team, but was disappointed. Is It possible you are a coward?"
It Is entirely possible that timidity may have been a factor In our deci
sion te select an "Hener Squad," as we did, rather than a team with the
prefix "All." Unfortunately, we did net have the ple.ii.ure of watching sev
eral of the elevens that had what we were Informed were the best players of
the year In certain positions. And this writer sees no reason te eulogize a
player he did net watch play.
However, in selecting an honor squad It wn3 remarket that "perhaps
the names mentioned first in our list of honor plajers would he our selection
te start In their positions." And if it will in any wny assist in providing
holiday geed cheer for A. H. we shall be glad te give these players and well,
take It as our honor team If you like.
First Team
Ends Gray, Princeton; Tayler, Navy.
Tackles Thurman, Penn ; Treat,
Princeton.
Guards Carney, Navy; Schwab, La-
fayettc.
Center Bowser, Pitt
Quarterback Covington, Centre
Halfbacks Kaw, Cernell ; Flanagan,
Pitt.
Fullback Jehn Themas, Chicago.
A number of geed men that we saw play are net en the two teams, which
are taken In the order of the appearance of their names en our honor squad
However, as Is customary with selectors of "All" teaniR, the assertion Is
kereby made that our first eleven would carry our Christmas fund into a
battle with any ether star aggregation In the land.
'AT TIIAT, we sumctimej have occatien te wonder whether the
Frankfard Yellewackets, with their all-star east, would net beat
any All-American rellege eleven that reuld be picked. M'hrn selecting
mythical elevens one dare net include professionals. Hut what a team
one could have if the greats who play for cold cash could be given
positions! TrtM may interest some folks who apparently misunder
stood our opinion of pre football.

Audubon Has tfie Town Baseball Spirit
UDUBON Is a city in New Jersey about five miles below Camden. It is
what one would call a pretty suburban town. Hut Audubon did net ei-t
ltfAreptitotlen because It Is accessible te Philadelphia or because of Its beau
tiful homes or because of Its fine people. It was n little argument ever whether
Sunday baseball should or should net be plnyed that gave Audubon publicity
la' all the newspapers of our country It might be added that Sunday baseball
wa played In the New Jersey city last summer, and It is suspecttd It will be
played there next summer.
However, this is net te be comment nn Sunday baseball. The Audubon
folks are quite able te take can" of themselves en that score. What we want
te write about Is the town pride and spirit that are developed through the In
stitution of a ball club that gives the residents reason te cheer for their home
community.
The ether night we attended n meeting of the Audubon A. A., In which
Antheny J. Helgert Is a prime mover There were nigh en te 100 sportsmen
present. All were for Audubon nnd her ball club first, last and always. They
might differ en the question of Sunday baseball, but when It came te town
spirit they were n unit for Audubon te bent the world.
Why can't Philadelphia develop that same spirit? It can be done. That
baa alwnye been our argument. We have mentioned the Blurs that Phlladel
yblsns are compelled te listen te and read about when they travel te ether
cities because of the lowly position of our baseball teams, and we have been
seeking te bring about a condition that would Insure us nines of which we
. might at least be proud ; for which we would fight.
f , If you want le knew what home-town pride means, step In at the Audu
bia A, A. Clubroom some winter evening and make some disparaging remark
about their ball dub te the boys down there. And when you de, be sure the
meter awaits without and that she is running and able te de ninety per hour
tswsrd Philadelphia.
a e
nillKK we have big league ball vlubs by and for Philadelphians,
, Fr then tet will fight for them, tun. And wc will fight even when
' , rev finish last.

A New Pennsylvania System Probable i
THERE is much speculation about the successor te Jehn W. Helsman it
Pennsylvania. There Is nlse talk concerning the system which will L
employed by the new conch.
The policy of big universities mai,ntninlng a coaching staff of sis or meri'
men is extravagant foolishness unless the hend conch nnd all bis assistant!
tench the same system of football. .
A staff of Individuals who have different ideas en the methods of itUt)
nnd defense and who neck te install them is ns ubcIcss te a football team ei
today ns n Spnldlng guide of the vintage of 1000.
The hend coach nnd his nides must agree en set theories of defense an'j
offense and these theories must net be altered if real team efficiency is te hi
developed. '
This is the football policy installed by Percy Hnughten nt Harvard an
which worked no well toward the success of the Crimson en the gridiron. Erin
football candidate nt Cambridge wns saturated with the Harvard system front
the first day he reported for the freshman tenm.
And this is the system, It is said, thnt will be in practice nt Franklin Field
next year. The freshmen, the scrubs, the substitutes nnd the regulars all will
be taught the snme system.
rpHE advantage Is many fold. The freshman knows vanity football
J- nnd fits Inte the first team as seen ns he becomes a sopliemore. Tb
player knows what is oxprxted of liim and his duty Is plain.
