diplomatic impossibility to have any

that they would even tender their

NO INTENTION VET TO GALL

The President made It clear that he
had no intentions as yet Of calling for
volunteers or Of appearing before Con-
gress TO ask for an extension OF his
authority. II was further stated that
a brigade OF infantry and artillery
from Galveston to reinforce the naval
forces at Vera Cruz is not intended as
an indication that the United States
would develop . campaign against
Mexico City. but should Huerta by
some overt act against Americans In
Mexico City or elsewhere provoke the
American Government there will be a
continuation of efforts to obtain rep
aration.
President Wilson considers that In

Penn Football Players
Ask for BrOOke'S Scalp
By BRIGGS.

Cornell, the latter winning two games
in succession for the first time in the
history of football competition be-
tween the two colleges. In the mean
time Dartmouth's score of Al to U
was the largest registered against a
Pennsylvania team in more than
twenty-five years.
The question of Brooke's retention
and the choosing of his successor, in
case he is not retained, will be de-
cded by the football committee, to
be chosen after the annual election of
the athletic association. T. Truxton
Hare, the present chairman, has an
nounced that he will be unable to de-
vote the time necessary TO the posi-
ton.
Members of the freshmen football
team upon learning of the action taken
by the varsity players held meeting
tonight and adopted resolutions ex-
pressing their confidence in Brooke as
a coach and in his system.
Fifteen members of the team, which
had a successful season, losing only
the Exeter game, signed the resolu-
tions, which declared that their expert
ence in playing against the varsity
caused them to believe that "Mr. Brooke
had been handicapped by the material
at his command"

Nineteen Out of Twenty-Five
Vote Against His Re-
tention as Coach
Next Year.

Philadelphia, Dec. 3.-Dissatisfac-
ton with the coaching of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football team
found practical expression to-day,
when nineteen of the twenty-one var
sity players who met to elect a new
captain voted against the retention Of
George II. Brooke as the coach for
the 1915 campaign.
The vote was a secret one and was
taken after Edward Day Harris, of
Philadelphia, who played at tackle this
season, had been elected captain for
next year. The action of the players
GRATED a sensation in football circles
here.
Brooke has had complete charge Of
the team for two years, and his con-
tract with the athletic association has
another year to run. When he was in
formed of the action of the players
Brooke intimated he would not resign
his position and that he expected to
make better showing next year.
The players who voted against tho
retention of Brooke, it is declared,
blame his system of coaching for the
failure of the team to make a better
showing during the last two years. In
1918 Pennsylvania lost to Dartmouth,
Michigan and Cornell, and this year
the team was defeated by Franklin and
Marshall, Michigan, Dartmouth and
