University of Pennsylvania's
Rowing Authority Much
Pleased With the Turnout

Albert Crane. of the Tacoma, wash, High
School Cory is a low hurdler with a
record Of "a % seconds, which he made
in the University of Michigan inter-

Coach vivian Nckalls has reason to
feel elated over n first-day attendance OF
$50 candidates for his freshman and var
sity crews. The size of the squad sounds
very much like Cornell. 1t is certainly
the biggest turnout that this institution
ever had. Curiously enough. the equad

Pennsylvania Eleven Is to
Be Put Through Some
Strenuous Workouts This
Week.
BY EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

Princeton and Yale have burned their
bridges behind them in their determina-
ton to play nothing but open, advanced
football. Both Coach Pendleton, of
Princeton, and Coach Hinkey. of Yale,
declare that they have abandoned the
conservative game and intend to stand
or fall by the open game. This is in
deed welcome news, because it can't be
denied that in the past the games be
tween these two teams have been fire.
quently about as dull as most Army
Navy games, with the two teams afraid
to open up.
Apparently the coaches of both insti,
tutions have awakened to the fact that
in developing the possibilities of open
football their predecessors have only
scratched the surface. There's a lot of
truth in this For one thing. they have
been too much afraid of losing posses
sion of the ball to try much else but
close formation plays, varied by an oc-
casional forward pass, though most of
the forward passes have been used as a
last resort when everything else had
failed.
There is no longer any doubt that Tied"
Merrill has the inside track for the quar-
terbGck position on the Pennsylvania
eleven. In yesterday afternoon pra ctice
he played this position most of the time,
and his work was a continuation of what
he did on Saturday against Gettysburg
Merrill is about the only member of the
back field who possesses n change of pace
and who can straisht-arm tackers. Like
wise, he catches punts with some GER
tanty. Merrill's running in the open field
Is very much like that of Miller. the for
mer Penn State quarterback. Adding
a little confidence to Merrill is making
a different player of him.
Assistant Coach BY" Dickson is scri-
ously worried over the dearth of first
class ends, The quality of the ends will
make or break a team. Speed is not the
only requisite, for if it were Pennsyl-

CENTRAL HIGH
ELEVEN WEAK AT
WING POSITIONS
Loss of Young and Kerr
Severely Felt by Coach
Howell, Who Is Shaping
Team for Opening Game.

Coach Howell Of the Central High School
football team. is working his men hard
in order to get them in shape for the
first game of the season next Friday.
The centre of the line and backfeld are
composed of veterans, and he is not Civ
ing as much of his time to these posi-
tions as he Is to the ends. Last year
c. II. S, had the best pair of scholastic
ends in Philadelphia in Young and Kerr,
but neither man is now in school, and
the material for the wing positions is
not very good,
The most likely OF the candidates are
DeLong, Brenner and Goodell. and it IA
probable that the first two of these will
make the regular berths, although the
latter, who is from Villanova, is very
fast and may make a place on the team.
Coach Dickens, the new man in
charge OF football and other athletics at
Chestnut Hill Academy. has been work
ing since last Wednesday with a promis-
ing squad OF youngsters to get them in
shape for the first game of the season
with Frankford High School, to he play
ed next Saturday at Chestnut Hln.
The squad consists OF about 70 candi-
dates. including only five veterans from
last year, Captain Gallard, Ellison and
Hcbcrton. backfield men, and Wray and
Flood, ends. There are some good men
from last years second team Felin, a
tackle and one of the heaviest men Oh

April 10 and II. Several times this season
Colby John, the "eX-Iron Man" has been
sent in to do a little work in exhibition
games, but he was not assigned for
league duty until yesterday. 1t is the
general belief among physicians who have
had Coombs under their care for the last
year and n half that he will never bo
able 20 regain his pitching form.
At present Coombs is strong. But the
trouble is that he has some lurking fear
that he NAV strain his back. which was
affected in his last attack in the fall of
1913. This would naturally prevent his
putting his strength on the ball.

Pennsylvania system requires that the

the opposing tackle. This requirement
is what makes Murdock's effort to win

ATHLETICS WILL
BEGIN ANOTHER
TRAINING SIEGE
Collins and Baker Arrived at
Noon-Others Will Fol-

Phillies Idle Today.

Following highly successful but not
a close and exciting campaign against the
American League allies, Connie Mack 8
six-time champions. are on the verge
of their second training season of the
wear At noon today Eddie Collins and
Frank Baker arrived. Other members
of the squad who will be coming into
philadelphia within the next "a hours are
Render, Plank, Davis, Schang, Barry,
oldring, and possibly strunk and Nc
Innis.
All of these players will take few
days rest while the Athletics are play
ing out their schedule in Washington.
Baker is going to take a day or so off
for the purpose of visiting his farm at
Trappe Md. where he will keep the edge
on his batting eye by using the shotgun.
Eddie Collins will engage chiefly in rest
st his home in Lansdowne, with a little
literary work thrown in. He is going to
write few advance stories for the EVEN
ING LEDGER with reference to the worlds
series
The other members of the club who will
be in Philadelphia will divide their time
between complete rest and light work at
Shibe Park, with the exception of Plank,
who is booked to visit his friends and rea-
tives In Gettysburg, Pa. CHIEF Bender,
who, with Plank, will do the bulk of the
Athletics defense work in the series, will
play golf.
Mack himself will probably be in WASH
ington tomorrow. He WILL as usual,
leave all of the business details of the
series to John, Shibe and his corps of
assistants, while he devotes his entire
time to planning for the series battles
There are several youngsters on Con-
MES string who will be worked against
the Nationals in Washington, and these
will be given a careful review.
Today the main body of the Athletics
Is advancing Eastward. Those PLAYERS
who are sentenced 10 the Washington

Col. L. W. Coggins yielded to the wishes of his associates of the pro- SressiNe party and became candi- date for the state senate. For this position he is an ideal candidate, con- scientious, firm and level headed, and of proved ability in every responsi- ble position in which he has been placed. Col. Coggins, however the legislature may be constituted will De a leaven for good in that body.
 For the members of the house of representatives, the progressive party has nominated Harry A. Diehl. Phil C. Ensign, Paul $. Kantz and Joseph E. Noble. These candidates in the course of the campaign have visited practically every precinct of the county and have brought themselves to the favorable notice of voters. Mr. Noble in the early part of the cam paign was absent from the state and IS therefore probably less well-known.
 But no man stands higher than he
