PENN IS CASTING ABOUT
FOR NEW TRACK COACH
Athletic Authorities Disappointed at
Showing Made by George 0rton
in Last Two Years.

PHILADELPHIA, June 7.-Univesity
of Pennsylvania athletic authorities
have already begun to cast about for
successor to George Orton, who has
been coach of the track team for the
last two years. Orton was named in
the spring of 1913. after Mike
tract the same year to coach the team
in 1914. 1915 and 1916. SO that he still
has another year to handle the Quak-
ers on the cinder path.
1t is an open secret at Franklin Field.
however, that Orton has already out
lived his usefulness, and although his
resignation will not be asked for, 1t
would be received with qualification by
the Pennsylvania authorities. who are
Of mind in the belief that Orton
failed signally to keep the team that
Murphy had built up in condition for
the 1914 games. and that he did even
worse this year. when all the points
the Quakers made were scored by four
men, despite the fact there were ten
or a. dozen of championship caliber on
the squad.
No one is willing to admit that Orton
Is defective in knowledge Of track ath-
letics or tanning, but there is una
nimity of opinion as to his failure to
grasp the situation presented to him
at Franklin Field and of his inability
to recognize the conditions confronting
him. 1t is a matter of great regret to
Pennsylvania men to be forced to reach
this conclusion, because no one had a
more honorable record in Pennsylvania
athletics as a student than Orton.
Rowing Is the only sport In which
the Quakers feel they are keeping
abreast Of the times. They realize that
George Brooke was too hard pressed
by outside activities to devote the
time necessary to the development OF
the foot ball team. Although Brooke
will continue as head coach next fall, he
will have assigned to him a corps Of
able assistants, SO that he will be on
abled to devote his time to the work
ing out Of original plays. a branch Of
foot ball coaching in which he was
most successful at Swarthmore.
AS to base ball. there seems little
ground for finding fault with Roy
Thomas Although the Quaker team
has won only Ave of eighteen games,
it's poor showing Is attributed chiefly
to the lack of pitchers. There is not
a single boxman in the squad who is
consistent Neither spielman nor Wis
ner has pitched continuously good ball
The team in other respects seems to be
as good as the average college nine.

Just why the Quakers' supporters

Two years ago, when Orton succeeded
Murphy, after the latter's death. it was
noted in this column that Murphy s
successor would not be likely to have
smooth sailing. as 1t was difficult for
anybody to take the place of very
successful coach and go along easily
unless almost phenomenal results were
obtained. Orton aided Murphy while the
latter was in charge, but it was hardly
to be expected that he would know as
much, or be able to accomplish as
much with a couple years experience

the work. Nearly every man success

MANY SERIOUS CHARGES MADE
Senate Committee Will Be Asked to
Go Into Expenditures for Cam
Paisns in Five States.

Washington, Feb. 5-When the Sen
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tiOns meets demands will be made
for the investigation Of expenditures
in contests for the election OF United
States senators in at least FIVE states
The senatorial campaigns the COM

were those in Alabama, California, In

kota. The successful candidates in
these states were Alabama, Repre-

California, James D. Phelan, Demo
crat, ex-mayor OF San Francisco; In
diana, Senator Benjamin F. ShiYeIy,
Democrat; Pennsylvania, Senator
Boies Penrose, Republican, and in
South Dakota, Edward S. Johnson,
Democrat.
At the Capitol it is said that If the
committee decides to conduct an in
quiry into the elections in these states
it probably would be extended so as
to include the election of other sena-
tors
At a recent meeting of the commit
tee on privileges and elections, Rep
resentative A Mitchell Palmer, de
feated candidate for senator on the
Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania,
charged that large sums of money
had been expended in the campaign
in Pennsylvania which resulted in the
election of Senator Penrose. At that
time it was stated that similar charges
probably would be submitted to the
committee concerning the election Of
Representative Underwood and other
candidates. The committee has taken
no action owing to the absence of
Senator Penrose, who is i'll in PhiIa-
delphia. Upon the return Of the Penn
sylvania senator, Senator Kern, chair
man of the committee. will send out
a call for a meeting Of the commit
tee.
In connection with the charges of
large expenditures in Pennsylvania
the committee will consider allega-
lions that the liquor interests gave
vast sums of money for the election
of Representative Underwood The
activity of these interests in the Ala
bama campaign has been discussed
on the floor of the House by Repre-
sentative Hobson, Mr. Underwood's
opponent in the Democratic primary.
