Penn FOOTBALL SYSTEM SURE
TO BE PLEASING TO STUDENTS
with Election of New Members of Football Committee
Old Coaching Plan Will be Revived Coach Brooke
Likely to be Head Coach in 1915

As result OF the election Of the new
Tooiban COMMITTEES bv the Board OF Di
reotors Of the University Of Pennsylvani
yesterday there will be return to tn
old Penn system OF football cdachint
next year The election also encourase'
the belief that George Brooke will b.
fatnfned aa head coach. This news will
be pleasing to his many friends, whit
have thought al along that he had beer
dealt unfairly BY the varsity member
Of this years eleven.
Here's what is meant by the "Penr
syatem"
what IL known as the "Pennsyl-
vania system" is tho perfection of
defense that will be tho foundation
upon which an attack can be built
The system taught by Percy Hsugh-
ton ct Harvard Is identical with that
taught by Carl williams when he was
IN charge 1t Pennsylvania.
Another thing the new committee
win do very shortly Is to secure a
competent trainer, which Pennsylvs-
MIA has not had since the death of
mike Murphy. Some one VIII be In
charge of this work next fall who the
committee knows TO be efficient and
who win not be In any sense an ex-
pertinent
II a not likely that there will be any
important changes In the schedule.
Pennsy1vania will play the Navy at
Annapolis and Dartmouth at Boston,
hut the other games will probably be
played az home. The former commit
tse admitted that It made mistake
IN changing some OF the preliminary
4 cnnonents. and Il is believed that at
least one team dropped last year Will
be rsinBtRted.
Eha H.r York Athletic Club has de-
trsanded that entry fees be paid or the
athlete suffer suspension by the Amateur
Athletic Union, and the plan should de-
Vslop into a great benefit for the track
and field game. There has been haoit
on the part of the big clubs to withhold
entry fees, IN the hope, presumably, that
the Games Committee of the promoting
organization would overlook the debt.
However. the ". z. A. G. has set the
pace now, and Il will be n good lead for
other organizations OF this country TO
follow.
some athletes who are 10th to give up
tbeir entrance money. While the CLUBS
.sre not wholly to blame, It VIII DO
GOOD thing for the officials to see that
their p-cteges are always IN good stand
ing IN this respect
The New York A. Q. has entrance rees
for games outstanding since last summer.
The Irish-American athletes are indebted
TO the winged Foot organization ana
these men are threatened with suspension
unless they pay. This part OF the pro-
gram was all right, but new angle de-
veloped. The Irish-American athletes
many of them world famous-found them
selves In the unenviable light OF paying
Inc Zee demanded or of being suspended.
They kicked, because they believed the
dub had taken care of that detail. NOW
/ good many OF the runners and Jumpers
have openly expressed themselves op-
posed to competing for an organization
which will not pay entry fees IL is TO
,s hoped tho black clouds will pass away.
rhe club management is to be censured,
aot the athletes. in this instance 10 our
belief.
