SOMMER MAY COACH
ENNFOOTBALLTEAM
NEXT YEAR, IS RUM0R
Final Choice Is Said to Lie
Between Dutch" and
Bennett.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3. Frank
Dutch Sommer IS now the most likely
choice for the position of football coach
at the University of Pennsylvania next
fail. Rurors to that effect have been
abroad the last two or three days and
were corrobordtcd today by one con-
spIcuous In football affairs at Penn.
The informant, who is one familiar
with the football situation, confessed
that Sommcr was being seriously con-
sidcrcd for the POST, but that the foot
ball committee had not as yet made its
final selection. Mike" Bennett still
had a call for the job, according 10 the
Penn football man, and the list of can
didates, at first considered by the com
mittee had simmered down to these
two. one or the other Will most likely
get the job.
Sommer is looked upon favorably by
many interested I'm football at Pennsyl-
vania. He played four years on the
varsity team in the backfield during the
seasons 1906. 1907, 1908, 1909 and since
then has put I'm two successful years as
coach. At Mercersburg Academy he
turned out a great team, which went
through its schedule without a defeat
and last fall plloted Colgate through the
best year OF football it ever had.
Mike Bennett, on the other hand ia
a much older man. and has been coach
ing for Chestnut Hill Academy football
team for eight or nine years. He has
put the academy on the scholastic foot
ball map and has turned out several
championship teams He was also a
backfield star at Penn.

Wyatt Lee has signed a contract with
Newark again and will be used as a

Warren Gill. for four years first base
man of the Minneapolis CLUB. and at one

And now that Larry Mclean has been
signed by the Cardinals, baseball
critic rises to remark that Larry will
help in making Miller Higgins life
more miserable.
Joe Tinker believes a wonder" may
come from the wilds of Canada. Pitcher
McManus. who worked for Ottawa last
season, is the youth.

NATIONAL GUARD IS
NEAR VICTORY IN
GAME WITH Y. N: c. A.
Guardsmen Commit Too
Many Fouls To Be AS
sured of a Win.

The Y. NJ. c. A. basketball team is
attributing It's win over the National
Guard in the Washington City League
race today to the ability of Mckay to
shoot fouls. Had not this player Gagged
seven after fouls had been called the
National Guard players would have
been one game in instead of having a
loss of 20 to Il recorded against them.
Many fouls were called during the
contest, and the Y. NJ. c. A. forward
was especially adept in tossing the bal!
in from a free throw. The association
players showed from the start OF the
game that they were lacking in team
work. and failed signalIy to show the
snap that has characterized their prevI-
Gus appearances.
The National Guard quint appeared 20
realize their advantage, and got to-
gether with a dash which showed their
determination to win out. The number
OF fouls committed knocked out what
ever chance the gusrdsmen had to win
when Mckay started to shoot fouls.
