KRAENzLEIN
 MAY BECOME
 PENN TRAINER

Philadelphia, Dec. 9.-A number Of radical changes are promised In the management of football at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania for next sea- son. Just what they will be will not be known until after the appointment of the new football committee which will follow the annual election Of the athletic association on December 1B. T. Truxton Hare. who has been chair man of the football committee for the last two years, has announced that he will not take the position again One of the difficulties seems to be finding a man who will take charge.
 On one matter every one is united That is, the absolute necessity of ser curing a competent trainer. In 1918 the coaches tried to get along Witho ut such man, and with distressing re- suits. This fall an inexperienced man was secured, but he was allowed tp go after the Michigan game, Many Pennsylvania men believe that had Mike Murphy lived and trained the 1913 and 1914 teams they would not have lost a game.
 The two men most prominently spo- ken of for the position are Dr. 4. c. Kraenzlein and Harry TuthiIl. Kraen- zIein Is still under contract to coach the German Olympic athletes, but he has been in this country since August and doesn't expect to return. He has trained the football teams of 1Eer- cersburg and Michigan, so that he is fully competent Tuthin has trained the Athletics and Detroit American League teams, and for several years ball teams in the fall. The advantaFe of Kraenz1ein Is that he is a PennsgI- van1a graduate and could assist In coaching the track men.

Sharpe was engaged as Cornell coach when the graduate coaching system failed to make good
 In the second year Of his coaching Cornell beat Pennsyl vania the first time since 1091, and this year the Cor nell team has had great success It is understood that his assistants, Dan Reed and Ray Van Orman, will be of fered contracts

WILL CONNIE
 MACK PILOT
 YANKEE CLUB?

New York, Dec. 9AWhen the Yam kees begin the season next April. Con- nie Mack of the Athletics, will prooa- bly be manager of the club. ; Mack. disappointed because Of the poor supp port which Phtladelphians gave his worlds champions last season and dis turbed over internal dissention in his club, has resolved to strip the club of it's stars. and is willing to seek new fields Of endeavOr.
 The American League realizes that New York has for a long time been 9 neglected field. The younger league has never had a winner here, and with the popular Giants stripped of the championship of the National League, kees to jump in and command popu- lar favor.
 After Mondays conference between Johnson, Mack and the Shibes, it was decided that the Athletics would thrive better with a less expensive ball club. If the deal ds arranged so that Mack will come to New York, Ira Thomas, Ma,ck's rtght-hand man on the club, will succeed him as manager. Thor oughIy schooled in Mack's methods of management,i it is believed that the Athletics would do well under the new conditions.
 Mack would leave as al legacy the most promising lot of young playeE in the American League. His young pitchers, who have been groomed for the past few. seasons, are now about ready for big league work. and he also has several young innelders who have been kept under cover, who are ready to start their major league careers.
 With Mack, the greatest construc- tive manager in the game, at the helm there would be a great future for the Yankees here There is no better judge Of a young ball player. and nc manager who@ca develop him to his best form so successfully as Mack i The Yankees, under the present re- g1Tne, have, according to many of the American League officials, neglected to become firmly established in the best baseball center in the country There is plenty of patronage in this city for both clubs, even if they were fboth pennant winners. A few seasons of Mack's management, it is believed would pull the Yankees out of the rut they have fallen Into and would launch them on a high wave of popu- 1aTdty. A successful Yankee team would also be the best means of keep ing the invasion of the Federal League from New York

SALE OF EDDIE COLLINS
 AROUSES PHILADELPHIA HOOTERS
Roast Manager Mackfor Letting Great
 Second Baseman Get Away

a report from the West several days ago stating that the famous home run hitter was about to jump to the Fed erals. Baker has not denied the re- port.
 Connie Mack said Collins was fully aware of the negotiations for his transfer to Chicago and was agreeable to the change. as he had come to a very satisfactory arrangement with Charles Comiskey owner of the White Sox
 In reference to a report that Collins would manage the Chicago club, Mack said he did not think he would have charge of the players. although he might be given that honor. That. Mack said Is entirely up to Comiskey.
 Mack, when asked who would take Collins place on the Ath1etics, said he would have a good man at second. we will await events,'' he said.
 The announcement of the Collins deal has aroused storm of criticism of Mack by the fans here. It is be- heved Mack got rid of Collins because the Athletics were so poorly patro- nized last season. He has decided, it is said, there is no use in paying high salaries for stars when the pub lie will not do it's share by. paying to see them play.

Philadelphia, Dec. 9-Connie Mack confirmed the report of the sale of Collins to the White Sox, made yes terday afternoon in New York. Mack. however, declined to make public the amount of money involved in the deal, but it is believed to hava been a record=brealxing sum- One report says theY sale price was $50. 900.

Speak1ng about Rube MaFquard, che former New York Giant pitcher. wao stgnified his willingness to play ball in the Federal league next summer Dick Carroll. business manager Of the Buffalo Federal club Is responsf- sfble for the big southpaW being in fast company today.
 Rubes a big ungainly boy, was pitching for sandIot team in Cleve- land in 1905. when discovered him days. but Rube who Wasnny mound opponent, held us to a shutout," said Carroll
 ..Maruuard had plenty of stuff for a youngster and saw him work in an other game. I was satisfied that the boy would improve and told Kill foyle, then vice president Of the CleVe- land club to grab Marquard. He said he had enough young timber on his hands and refused to give Rslbe a. chance. liked MarquArd'g work and the seTni-pro team I was 0ns signed the southpaW.
 .sThe first game he worked ih was against a team at Salem. O. The Rube had verything and the game went thirteen innings, being called on ac- count of darkness, with neither side having scored. The last man, the for tieth to face Marquards got the only hit of the long game Salem went vvild over Marquard and our team returned the following week to play oft the tie game. Rube then held the Salem team to two hits and no runs.
 ssEharIey Carr of the Indianapolis team had heard of MaTquard and he gave him a trial the following year but Rube did not shine and later was sent back to Canton. O. In 1907 Rube was recalled by the Indianapolis club. and it's history what the big southpaw accomplished that season. His vFon4 derfuI pitching for the HoosIer club resulted in John 1fcGraw giving S11S- 900 for his services" said Carroll.
 ssSo you see while the Buffalo cIl Q did not secure Marquard, can claim the honor, in Q way of bringing inc big star to the Federal camp sa-ld Dick.

Kane. Pa, Dec 9-Ray Caldwell, the former star pitcher of the New. York Americans, who is visiting friends in this city, stated yesterday that there is no chance of him re- turning to the American League in case s1aa New York c1ub trade him to the Athletics.
 q have signed a. contract to play with the Buffalo Federal League team for the next three seasons" he said. land am going to stay with them. The New York club has no hold on me, as my contract with them ex- pired this season. am satisfied with my berth with the Buffalo cli1b and, ifrreports are true. that Buffalo has secured Ivy Wfngo, Hugh Bedient and others, Ido not see how they are go- ing to stop Buna1o from winning the pennant-
 .sThe Jumping of Walter Johnson to the Chicago Federals did not surprise me, as l. expected to see a. large num- Der Of big league stars jump to the F;ederals within he& next two weeks. as the Federal Leagde is pay1ng big salaries and they are certain to get the players.
 q think the signing of Plank and Bender will hurt the Athletics far more than the public think, as Connie Mack will not only miss these two great pitchers as regulars, but as re- lief pitchers. and no club in neither the American or the National leagues has had as much use for relief pitch CTS in the past two seasons as the Athletics Plank and Bender alone won the pennant for the Athletics the last two seasons and when they were not pitching in their regular turns they were sent to the relief of other pitchers"

 A Yale critic charges that Harvard takes her sports too seriously He charges that the Crimson maintains farms among the Massachusetts high schools by sending football men to coach the school elcvens and make speeches telling of Harvard g1ories on the gridiron.9 Why doesn't Yale adopt the Harvard system?
