INTERESTING GAMES IN CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE-URSINUS TO PLAY HASSETT FOLWELL SIGNS TO COACH PENN War Clause Holds Up Con tract; May Get Increase in Salary Philadelphia, Feb. 8. Everything apropos of the football situation at Penn was cleared up yesterday with the announcement of the Board of Directors that Bob Folwell had been appointed and fully ratified as head coach for next season. Folwell will have as his assistants Dr. Charles "Buck" Wharton, as line coach; Lon Jourdet, as freshman coach, and Har old Gaston, as scrub coach. "By" Dickson is not reappointed as coach of the ends because Dickson has sev eral opportunities to take over full coaching powers at other institutions. It' he fails to connect with one of the offers he has received, he will in all probability return to Franklin Field as coach of the ends and a member of the board of coaches, and in the event that he accepts an offer, "Si" Pauxtis, football coach at Pennsylvania Mili tary College last season, will proba bly take up his work on Franklin Field. War Clause Delays Action The failure of the Board of Direc tors of the Athletic Association to an nounce Folwell's ratification imme diately after its meeting on Tuesday was occasioned by the presence of a "war clause" in the contract offered Folwell. This war clause necessitated withholding the announcement until Folwell's contest to the conditional contract had been gained. The so called "war clause" brings about one of the most unique situations which has ever arisen in collegiate sports. Folwell's contract specifically states that in the event of a war necessitating the abandonment of football contests, the contract shall become void. This clause, inserted in the agreements signed by all of the other coaches, is a part of the foresight of the conser vative element among the directors of the athletic association, who wish to protect the finances of the association in the event of such a contingency. The contract also provided for an increase in salary; just how much was not stated. Folwell's contract called for 54,000 last year, with an additional SI,OOO if the receipts from the games exceeded $5,000 over the previous year's income. As the receipts totaled $30,000 over the year previous, Fol well was given $5,000 for the 1916 season. Bob left with his wife imme diately after signing the contract for Florida.

Timothy Hayes Murnane, former big league star, president of the old New Eng land League for many years and of 1 late sporting editor of the Boston Globe, dropped dead last night in the Shuhert Theater hero. Ills death was a shock to his friends, for only an hour before he had dined with a num ber of other newspaper men and was cheerful and apparently in the best of health. Murnane was born June 4, 1851, at Naugatuck, Conn., and began his baseball career nineteen years later in Savannah, Ga.. as catcher for the Savannah team. During a tour of the East by the team Murnffne was signed by the Middletown, Conn., team and made such a hit as first baseman that the Athletics picked him for the fol lowing year.

Sager, former basket ball player with the Ha7.let.on and Plttstown teams of the Pennsylvania State League, and Miss Anna C.

Mumma has scored 4637 points in 30 games and has an average of 165. The Dieners in 42 games show a total of 30,472. Last night's boxing show proved a pleasing exhibition. What happens at most fights and would not happen if there was a State commission, was an nounced. Steve Couloit, of Altoona, wired that he could not get away from work. Miles Moran, of Scranton. went in against Pete Howell, of Philadel phia, in Conlon's place. The Scranton boy broke a bone in his right hand and had to quit.

CENTRAL TRAINS FOR YORK GAME White Rose Tossers Attraction at Auditorium Friday Night Central high is training hard for baVtle with York Friday night. The game will be played at Chestnut Street Auditorium. . Central is leading the Central Penn sylvania Scholastic League, and hopes to land another victory. The White Rose team was defeated ly Central on its home floor a few weeks ago, although the game was very close. It is expected in some quarters that the Blue and Grays will get a surprise Friday evening, but Captain Eddie Hilton and his colleagues intend to take no chances and therefore are ex pecting a stiff scrimmage. Mart/. Strong at Center Martz is developing into a good cen ter, and will be reinforced by the regu lar liire-up, which includes Hilton, Gregory, Frank and Fields. The York team will probably look about the same as when it played Tech. The Forster street co-ed five will journey to Carlisle Friday to play Dickinson. They also look for a vic tory, as the Blue and Gray girls are playing fine basketball this season.
