learned today that Teller received a
knee bruise in the Penn game. and al

IRA THOMAS MAY Be
YANKEES MANAGER
Athletics Captain Mentioned as
Prospective Leader OF Much
Managed Club.

NEW YORK, Nov. T.-Ira Thomas,
captain of the Athletics, is the newest
entrant in the free-for-all race for the
management of the Yankees. Ira's
name was put forward today by a resi-
dent of Philadelphia, who told Of
negotiations between this city and Chi
cago, which resulted in Ban" John
sons exit from that city on Sunday
night. It was reported there that john
son had left for New York to buy
William s. Devery's stock in the
Yankees.
According to the Philadelphian, who
is friendly with Thomas and Connie
Mack. the latters policy Of houseclean-
ing will make it comparatively easy
for the American League president to
arrange for Thomas transfer to New
York as leader of the Yankees.
Thomas once caught for the Yankees
after Ira had minor league experience
With Hartford, in the Connecticut
League, and Providence. In the old
Eastern League. Later Thomas got
into the worlds series receipts. with
the Tigers and Athletics, developing
steadily as shrewd backstop and
coach.
During the recent season Thomas was
reported as Ban Johnson's personal
representative in a movement to or
ganize the American League players in
a distinctive organization which would
have made membership in the fra
ternity unnecessary. The effort failed,
hut Thomas and Johnson have been
close friends. the American League
PRESIDENT being a great admirer Of the
big captain and coach
Eddie Plank may come to the Yam
KEGS in the event Of Thomas promo
tion to the management Of the team
Arthur Irwin's recent visit to Plank at
his home in Gettysburg is said to es-
teblish the fact that Plank had not
signed with the Federals. despite the
offers Of q long-term contract to the
veteran left-hander.

Tutors Conclude That Some
Players Lost Their Nerve
Against Dartmouth Eleven.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.-As lull
before the storm. the University of
Pennsylvania football coaches gave
their charges a complete rest here yes

There was a meeting Of the coaches
at the end of which Brooke announced
that he would make number of radi-
cal changes in the lineup today.

the individual star of the series, having
scored practically all Of Business points
this season in games in which he has
taken part.
Culligan. at quarter for Business, has
been a sensation all season. His plays
are well chosen and timely. and he gets
more action OF his eleven than the other
field generals. Business is likely to be
met with a whirlwind attack in this
game which will carry the team liter
3lly OFF it's feet Tech is bound for the
title and will brook n and
those who have followed both teams
closely are Of the opinion that Business
is in for royal beating.
On past performances on paper the
teams are evenly matched. Tech has
scored SO points in seven games to 81
for opponents, while Business has rolled
up an even 100 points to q for oppon-
ents. In beef, Tech has many pounds
on the lighter Business eleven, and in
experience is better outfltted. Another
thing in favor Of Tech is condition. A
ten days rest has put the Manual Train
ers on edge. Since Tech has last played
Business had two engagements. Ray
Wise and Joe Wise are not In the best
of condition. The Business right tackle
favors a broken collarbone. an injury
lue season, Wnlle haV
has had water on the knee.
In Gene Ochsenreiter, Tech has an
ACE in the hole" Always good for
many yards on end runs, although the
player rarely tanks the end, choosing to
reiter the most dependable back. In
punting Ochsenreiter has been equaled
only by Peck. OF Western. In forward
passing the Tech star is one Of the best
developed in the schools, and can be
counted upon as dependable defense
player.
Considerable controversy has arisen
over the play at end OF Stern, the Busi-
ness flank, and MacCarthy and Roberts,
the Tech players on the ends. Fridays
battle will in a measure determine just
which Of the players is entitled to the
greatest consideration.
Each team has one big player. Busi-
ness boasts OF Joe Wise, who stands six
feet and three inches, and weighs 212
pounds. Tech is putting Harold Supplee
forward as right tackle. Soup weighs
in at 1913, and stands well over the six
FOOT mark. Heretofore Supplee has felt
his size when compared to the players
on the other teams.
Taps will be generally sounded on in
tersc holastic football this week, al
though the Georgetown Prep team will
journey to Philadelphia Thanksgiving
Day for geme with st. Josephs.
Or Saturday, Cathedral is taking on
fredericksburg High. Having beaten
the Virginians earlier in the season.
Cathedral is expecting TO roll up another
hig total on Saturday.

Tech may be induced to play a post

poets for seeing the team in action are
not considered bright The winner Of
the Georgetown Prep-Army and Navy
School battle would be formidable OPP

AS Best Wolverine

ANN ABBOR, Mich. Nov. 17.-Six-
teen Michigan men were selected today
to receive the official varsity football
letter, which will be presented to them
tomorrow night at the annual football
smoker. which winds I'D the season.
Thirty players also will get the insignia
of the reserves, which is the largest
number ever given out One less varsity
letter than last season was awarded
today.
To Quarterback Hughitt was awarded
the Heston-Schulz trophy cup as the
most valuable player to the Michigan
team. The men were ranked as fol-
lows in the votes of the coaches:
Hughitt Raynesford. Maulbetsch and
Cochran. The award Is not made on
the basis of individual brilliancy on
the field. but aims to honor the man
who has been of the most service to
the eleven. Craig won the cup last
year, with Hughitt second choice. The

at quarter. At any rate Murdock will
be tried out in this position during the
week.
In the line the coaches intend to Use
Townsend at tackle in place of Russell
and Henning at guard in place of
Witherow. Two coaches have come to
the conclusion that some of the play
ers have lost their nerve as a result OF
the Michigan and Dartmouth slough
ters. They are determined 20 have
none but fighters in the lineup against
Cornell on Thanksgiving Day.
No one seems to have much faith in
the team right now, and there Is little
hope for a victory over Cornell.
