The reorganization OF the Pennsylvania
coaching system has been talked over
BY the graduates ever since the disasters
Of the present season began. The cop-

the new committee and ratified by the
board Of directors.
Not until the new committee organizes

Guilty between Head Coach Brooke and
the members OF this years squad who
voted against his retention will be ad-
iusted While no conferences have been
held with Brooke by the proposed new
committee or the old committee, it Is
understood that Brooke is agreeable TO
the proposition that he shall act as head
coach in an advisory capacity, and that
some one shall act as field coach with
entire charge of the active coaching. In
this connection, by" Dickson, who was
one Of Brooke's most loyal supporters

prominently mentioned. II is believed that
such an arrangement would be salts

This is the tale of a sturdy pug who
wandered into another game that
never gave him chance to slug, but
battered aim up and left him lame.
The pug was only little runt, built on
the lines OF baby grand. He laughed
at FIRST at the brand new stunt and
wanted to give II the icy hand. but
friends declared he was out of shape
and told the pug he was getting stale
and proved their words with a meas
uring tape. They told him he'd win
bale OF kale by playing golf till he
got himself at the fine-drawn edge of
fighting trim. and the pug gave ear
to the call of pelf and they made
golfng man OF him.
And so he went to a gol1ng course
aid put himself in a golting suit and

shot that experts called a beaut
And, carrying all his clubs along. he
followed the pill DER a little rise;
the caddy was feeling At and strong,
but the pug, he needed the exercise.
So up and down all morn he went and
plodded merrily on and on. At noon
his wind was a tritie spent, but the
pug was there and he wasn't gone.
He rambled on till the sun was low
and was sinking down in the golden
west. and some one yelled. Don't be

behind TO rest.
The moon came up I'm a little while,
as the moon will do when the time is
right, and It flooded the earth with it's
genial smile till you'd hardly know II

chirped In the nearby trees and the
wind blew hard, as the night breeze

his hands and knees painfully climb
ing a little hilr; he moved like a tur-

night wind made him bitter cold, he
was too worn out to cuss or sigh.
But i.e moved right on in straight
bee line and tainted away when he
reached his goal: he'd come to GER
