Annie Edney is said to have
screamed herself into a job once upon
a time in dear old Lunnon town."
She was looking for position with
theatrical company, so the story
goes. A consultation with the man
ager indicated that she would have
to scream in the part assigned to
her. -..-.
She allowed" that she could
scream to order in first-class fashion.
So short synopsis of the play was
given to her. Her husband was sup
posed to have dropped dead. She,
seeing the figure of her loved one at
her feet, then was to give cry which
would send shivers over the audi
ence.
Miss Edney walked to the stage
door, turned, and gave the requisite
shriek-which drew stage hands, POI
lice and people off the street to dis :
cover what vas the matter.
She got the job! l

TO CHANCE COACHES
At Three COLLEGES
Much Dissatisfaction Ex-
pressed Over Work OF
the ElevenS
PENNSYLVANIA
SITUATION BAD

Now that the football season is
over and the big coll 'ge teams have
settled down to gloat over their VIC
;ories or worry over defeats, an in

10 coaches. Glenn Warner has al
ready deserted tie Carlisle camp and
there are likely 20 be changes in the
coaching departn snts at Pennsyl-
vania, Princeton ana Yale, IN each Of
which there is much dissatisfaction
over the manner in which those re-
spective teams were handled.
Glenn Warner's announcement that
he has signed to soacA the University
Of Pittsburgh team in 1915 was a big
surprise to his friends, as well as
the inter collegiate fraternity at
large. Warner really put Carlisle on
the map for if was he and no other
who whipped tho Redskins into shape

power in the gridiron game. Now he

Ills successor at Carlisle has not
been named.
The worst scandal in the big col
leges at resent is that at the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania, however. The
miserable showing Of the Penn
eleven in the games played this sea-
son has brought down all sorts of
criticism and tie players, some un-
der the iibes and sneers Of their fell
low-gtudents, have fallen back on
the time-wOrn excuse and accused
George Brooke. the head coach, with
incapabllit7 Brooke has been made

eleven is standing up nobly for him,
Brooke i. being everlastingly lam
basted by the college in general and
will no doubt have to get out before
next wear. Brooke has little to say,
but the sympathies of everyone but
the men at PeLn are with him. he
unquestionably had very poor mate
rial with which to construct a team
there this year and will not have to
go begging for a job, providing he
wants to continue coaching.
At Princeton there has been a per-
feet deluge of complaints over the
committee system IF coaching. Every
college publication. for several weeks
has been demanding a change. The
objection IS not to the personality OF
the coaches, but to the system They
want a one-man system. such as OBJ
tains i'm most institutions and which
Princeton had until this year.
Similar conditions prevail at Yale
but in a less marked degree. There
the students are very sore over the
Harvard defeat and have only the
Princeton victory as solace. Changes
are expected before next year.
