Biuethenthal al center, Phillips at tackle
and Dunlap at end. The situation, there
fore. is far from bright, because good Hne
men will be more in demand this fall than
ever before on account Of the new style
Of game which will be played.
In the back field Capt. Peudleton will
probably be shifted from quarterback to
halfback. particularly If Emmons. the
freshman quarterback last year. makes
good in this position. The only veteran
Of the Princeton back field who graduates
is Vaughn, but his place can be taken by
either Dewitt or Baker.
Ex-Coach Roper has promised the pres
emit foot ball management that he will
give what assistance he can, but not
very much active work can be looked for
from him. This is due to the fact that
he is building UP a law practice, and is
likewise interested in securing the cleo
ton Of Wilson to the PRESIDENCY. The COM
m1ttee OF advisory, coaches, which Roper
render valuable assistance, and all Of its
members viii give as much time as they
can to the coaching of the team.
Although Trainer Mike Murphy has not
said SO in so many words there is a
fear at the University of PENNSYLVANIA
that he will not take the active part in
training the Red and Blue this fall that
he has done in previous years. In any
e">' Murphy will not be on the scene
BE-. e October ]. two weeks after the
'eral days after the playing of the
first game
Mr.. Murphy has found that training
the foot ball team is more wearing on
him than coaching the track team In
fact, 1t was his work with the eleven
that brought about his severe illness the
past winter. Because Of his great ability
as a coach the Pennsylvania authorities
permitted Murphy to have entire charge
OF the scrub team, just as he did when
b. vi
the scrubs he was obliged to act as
trainer to the varsity. AS result, he
did more actual work than any two of
the regular coaches. His position was
made even more difficult last year by a
certain amount OF friction
In the game between Pennsylvania and
Michigan. which was played in a raging
snOwstOrm. Mr.. Murphy caught a severe
cold. which he could not shake OF and
which kept him confined to his home
the entire winter. For time 1t was
feared that he would not be able to
coach either the Pennsylvania track team
or the American Olympic track team,
but with the coming of spring his health
returned sufficiently to enable him to
take up his duties with the Red and
Blue track team when the outdoor work
commenced. In spite OF his rapid recov-
cry, however, he overtaxed his strength,
and after the Olympic games were fin
ished at Stockholm he was in such con-
Immediately to America. He has been
living in the country since that time in
the hope that he would be able to re-
sumo his work in the fall.
His family, however, wishes him to
give up his work with the foot ball team
and to devote his time only to the track
team. II Mr.. Murphy is obliged to give
up foot ball 1t will be the severest kind
Of a. loss to the eleven, for on account
Of his long experience with the game
and his wonderful skill In conditioning
men it would be very hard to replace
him.
Yale's New Athletic Management.
Yale's athletic authorities think that
they have at last found the remedy for
the steady decline which the Ellis have
