PENN DECIDES TO
PLAY MICHIGAN
Will Ask. Ann Arbor Authorities for
Another Two-Year Agreement, first
Game To Be in the West.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 19.-At a
meeting for organization the football
committee of the University OF Penn
sylvania assembled in the law Offices
Of John II. Minds Mr. Minds was
elected chairman and Thompson was
chosen as manager of the team for
next season. The election OF Cozens
to the football captaincy was ratified
by the committee.
Although no definite action was TAX
en- upon either the schedule for next
fall or the coaching problem. both
these matters were discussed at great
length.
Mr. Minds stated that il is now as
sured that Michigan will be played
next fall. II is also possible that an
agreement for the playing OF two
games will be drawn up, the first
game to be played at Ann Arbor.
Michigan has agreed to absolutely
everything that has thus far been
preached and although ii is not as yet
absolutely certain that there will be a
two-year agreement. II is most likely
that such will be the case.
IL speaking of the argument against
having the Indians on the Quaker
schedule next season Mr. Minds ak
pressed his views as favoring a game

been in Philadelphia, and these two
men have gone over the situation.

retaining the Indians on the lists will
meet with very decided opposition in
other. quarters--principall the Uni
versity faculty committee.
Although there has been consider
able talk as TO the Brown game being
a back number on the Quaker lists.
II Is very probable that the ProvI-
dence men will next fall again appear
on Franklin Field.
The problem OF the selection OF a
head field coach for the team is wor-
rying the football committee to n
great extent As matters now stand.
IL seems very likely that ANDY"
Smith will again be chosen for the
position although this is by no means
assured The other principal possibili-
ties for the position are Bob Folwell.

MAKE BESCHER
EQUAL OF COBB?
Clarke Griffith Has Plan That he
Thinks Will Work To That End
and Ought To Patent It.

Here is a new one in baseballdom.
II Is a device whereby a player can
practice batting without any one to
toss the balls TO him. Clarke Grtthth,
manager OF the Cincinnati Reds, is the
inventor and the-old fox declares that
the men who use Ii will be able TO
boost their batting averages 100 next
season. A Cincinnati writer describes
the new device as follows:
The device consists Of a ball OF
regulation size, but fitted with an ex-
ira cover, to which stout rubber cords
are attached. one on each side. One
OF the cords is TO be fastened TO the
floor and the other to the ceiling,
allowing the ball TO swing loosely at
about the hight OF the batter's v aist.
When the ball is struck with bat,
the flexible cords allow IL to spring
several yards and II returns with
great force, coming back at about the
speed OF pitched ball. Then is the
time for Buster to get busy with the
club and soak II out again. II is great
training for the batting eye. The
plant can be set up In any good sized
room. or ont fin the barn or woodshed

he gets on the more runs he will
