FRESHMAN TEAMS
STATEMENT DENIED
BY U. OF P. VARSITY
Football Men D e c lare
Brooke's System w a S
Modified in Application to
First-year Eleven.

Members of the University of Penn
sylvania football team denied today the
statement issued by the freshman team
that the system Of coaching used for the
latter was the same as that for the
varsity. They say the Brooke system
was considerably modified in its applica-
tion TO the freshman eleven.
Intlmation also was made at the Uni
versty today by men, who insisted on
remaining anonymous, that the freshman
statement in defense of Brooke did not
originate in the freshman camp. They
declare ii was started from some other
source that the varsity men have not
been able to trace,
The varsity players also say today that
their meeting, at which the vote against
Brooke was taken, was held yesterday
and the result Of the balloting was not
intended for publication. The news leaked
out, however. and nobody seems to know
who is responsible.
The meeting was called, the varsity
players say, in response to queries from
several alumni members who wanted to
know If Brooke is the best coach obtain
able for next year
A vote on whether the coach should
be retained Is not new thing at the
University, the players say. 1t was
done, they declare. in the case of Andy
Smith, whom the players voted to re-
tain. although he had had an unsuccess-
full season, because they considered this
to be due to a lack of material.
The players deny today the reports that
undue influence was used at the Univer-
sity and that Brooke did not have a
free hand. Captain Journeay said:
1T cannot be said that Coach Brooke
showed any favoritism or did anything
that he did not sincerely believe was for
the best interest OF the eleven"
One well-known alumnus, former
member Of the board of directors of the
Athletic Association, expressed the fol-
lowing opinion on the trouble, but re-
fused to allow his name to be used:
II don't want to get mixed UP in this
squabble personally" he said, but /
think express the sentiments of a good
many Pennsylvania men when / say that
this action was a disgrace to Pennsyl-
vania. The players, Of course have a
right to express their opinions, and they
should be listened to with respect. but
there is right and a wrong way to do
everything.
"I hope the board of directors will not
allow the action of the team to go un-
I think that a vote withdraw
ing their right to wear the varsity 'P'
should be the punishment of every man
who voted for such a motion. If the
players had taken this matter up with
the new football committee. instead of
rushing pell nell into trouble of this
kind, all this might have been avoided"
AS further explanation of the attitude
of the freshman football players. 1t is
stated they issued a challenge to the
for a football game after yes
terday's election, but that II was de-
clined

Body Sought to Review Ac-

The Civil Service Commission was
shorn of considerable power in an opinion
delivered this afternoon by Judge Dough-

The ruling of the court was made in
the mandamus proceedings brought by
Hugh Gallagher, dismissed policeman,
against the Mayor, the City and the Civil
Service Commissioners. Gallagher, after
dismissal, was granted a second hearing
before the Police Court of Trial by d.
rector Porter. He was cleared. When
the reauislton was sent to the Civil Serv-
ice Commission for Gallagher's reinstate-

state the policeman on the ground that
they had reviewed the case and believed
Gallagher guilty despite the courts de-

commission to grant his reinstatement by

Common Pleas.
Judge Dougherty, in delivering the opln-
