tain of the team for next year
OHearn is regarded as one of the
best defensive ends in the country and
one Of the strongest ends Cornell ever
has produced. He played on the Cor
nell team for two years. He played
on his freshman team and in his

Truxton Hare, chairman of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania football COM
mittee, says that the two year con-
tract for a game with Michigan Is
still in force and that Penn and
Michigan will meet next eyar on the
gridiron. When asked what would be
done If Michigan should ask for an
earlier or later date, having games
with Harvard and Cornell on the
schedule, Mr.. Hare said: "Then we
will do everything possible to make
satisfactory arrangements. The i'm
preston that we will not play the
game next year or that there is any
feeling because Michigan has sched-
uled game with Harvard is wrong

| Captain Seth K. Mitchell, of the
Brown University football eleven, has
recommended to the Brown athletic
board that Football Coaches Edward
N. Robinson and j. Donald Pryor,
who have handled the team for the
| past four years, be dropped and
John A. Gammons, who was head
coach in 1908 and 1909 and Thomas
Barry, a Brown man and former Uni
versity of Wisconsin coach, be en-
gagged. Ordinarily the captains
recommendations would have been
adopted by the board but the Brown
Club, an alumni organization favor
able to the present coaches, sent
a delegation to the meeting and asked
| that action be deferred until tomor-
row night, when it is planned to have
the football captains of the past ten
years present. Final action will come
at that time. Browns poor showing
during the past season has caused
general talk of a change in coaches,
and the captains recommendation
was not unexpected Both Robinson
and Pryor have many friends on the
"Hill," however, and a lively fight
over the matter is expected.
