Refuses to Take All Blame for
Failure of Football Team.
HAMPERED IN COACHING
Declares Advisory Board at
Pennsylvania Did Not
Keep Hands Off.

Philadelphia, Dec 18.-Andy Smith. head
coach Of tho University OF Pennsylvania

ton to the statement OF DR.. Carl Will

methods Of Smith. Through THE Penn

just before the Penn. State game he was

In his reply TO DR.. Williams Smith

THE communication of DR.. Carl Will

I'm the minds OF some Pennsylvania men
that I, and alone. am responsible for
the failures Of the last two years at foot

I'm justice to myself l wish to explain
my position In the matter. 1t is true
there have been very few meetings OF the
so-caled advisory board during the past
season. but the fact remains that my idea
OF coaching the men was not carried out.
II am a great believer in the Penn
sylvania system, which may be adapted TO
any changes I'm the rules. but until the
latter part OF last season the system re-
NAMED the same as when first created.
The system is in the defence, and the
defence starts in the line of scrimmage.
Since 1 was not line man myself as

part Of that coaching. II fell to m" 10
develop the offence and carry out the
scheme of individual instruction upon
the field. My part Of this schedule con-
sisted Of coaching the back field men,
However. last season I stated my ideas
as regards the line play, which varied
somewhat from the original system,
mostly in tho primary teaching OF the
men. | know absolutely that those
ideas were not carried out. Therefore
the last part OF the season I left the
backfield men to take care Of themselves

diately before tho Penn. State game, and

at is a fact that both this and last
season a member OF the coaching stan

these coaches were too wrapped up in

COLUMBIA TEAM CRIPPLED
Must Face Cornell Basketball
Five with Substitutes.

The Columbia varsity basketball team
will be crippled I'm its first game Of the in
tercollegiate championship series against
the Cornell Ave at Ithaca on Saturday
afternoon. The substitute lineup which
faced Fordham on Tuesday night had
little difficulty In winning, but Harry
Fisher the coach. feels that against DR..
Sharpe's team he will have to have his
strongest combination on the floor.
Meenan. who suffered a badly twisted
ankle In the alumni game week ago. will
be unable to play for two weeks. and his
loss will be a serious one He has had
more experience than any Of the other
men on the five. and is In addition an
aggressive player.
Benson, who also sprained an ankle in
the alumni game. will be able to play
against the Ithacans, but how long he will
stand up under heavy fire Is a question.
it is probable that Reynolds and Benson
will be the forwards and Lee and Jaques
the guards, while Veeder, the old Prince
ton player, will be held In reserve.

George C'One-round'D Davis, Of Buffalo,
I'm less than two minutes Of boxing at the
Fairmont A. C. of the Bronx last night
The knockout was one of the most
spectacular ever seen I'm this city. kearns
caught Davis with a left hand punch
flush on the jaw, and the latters hands
dropped to his side powerless. Like
flash Kearns landed right swing on the
neck, and Davis hit the floor with
crash after turning a complete back
somersault He fairly stood on his head
with one leg through the ropes.
At the count OF nine he rolled over and
tried to rise, but it was only after Billy
Joh the referee, had finished that the
fallen fighter struggled TO his feet.
When Davis came to his corner he said
TO his manager: II can't understand 1t.
How did it happen7 Why, he didn't even
hit me. suddenly became dizzy and fell
down. but why did they tie my legs with

drove Davis across the ring with left ana
