WILL TRY BERRY
AT QUARTERBACK
Penn Officials Believe Speedy
Athlete Will Play Best in
That Position

When the University of PENNSYLVANIA
football players assembled on Franklin
Field this afternoon they listened to a
dissection of the faults they displayed in
Saturdays game with West Virginia. The
entire board of coaches who saw that
game analyzed every mans play and
| then gave instructions for its correc-
tion. The entire preliminary work was
given up to this instruction. though there
was the usual warmlng-up practice in
kicking. tackling. passing, etc.
Although the West Virginia game was
not entirely responsible for Il. the coaches
have decided to give Howard Berry a
thorough tryout at quarterback. While
Berry did most of the ground gaining
against West Virginia, he is considered
too light to do the heavy plunging de-
manded in the Quakers' style OF attack
Berry has always played quarterback
heretofore. and since Quigley Is showing
up so well and has more weight than
Berry the coaches believe this change
may strengthen the team, Berry was
used at quarterback some OF the time this
afternoon.
Miller. last years star freshman end,
who injured his foot at Fort Deposit dur
ing the preliminary practice. was again
unable 10 practice with the team today
DR.. Frank Hancock. who is the teams
physician, says that Miller will prob
ably not be able Co play before the END Of
the week. The coaches are anxious for
Miller to report. because they are looking
for a heavier pair of ends than Urquhart
and Hopkins. There is some talk of try
ing Dewhurst, last years freshman
tackle, at end, where his weight will
count.
The coaches announced that there might
be some changes In the Albright line-up
on Wednesday. Just because Albright
lost to Rutgers, $50 the Quaker coaches
are not looking for an easy victory. The
scouts who saw the Rutgers-Al bright
game reported that Benfer, the Albright
fullback. did not play Coach BY Dick
son declares that Benfer Is one OF the
greatest football players In America. and
that ON a big team he would be an ALI
American player. He Is scheduled to
make his first appearance on Franklin
Field on Wednesday.

NEARING'S BOOKS USED
IN WHARTON SCHOOL
Works of Dismissed Teacher on
Reading List of Curriculum

Scott Nearing 10 no longer on the faculty
OF Wharton School. but his books on
economics, In which his sentiments on
child labor and other evils are plainly
set forth, are prescribed for reading on
the curriculum of the freshman class in
economics. o. he II books listed for this
term, five are ON the pen of the deposed
assistant professor.
Charles f. Reitzel. successor OF Nearing
as assistant professor in economics at
the Wharton School, called the attention
Of his class Of several hundred freshmen
TO the Importance of reading the books
listed in his first lecture.
Mr.. Reitzel carefully avoided all ref
erence TO the circumstances surrounding
Hearings dismissal, and confined his lee
ture to the cut-and-dried expounding of
the principles of economics, disappointinp
several upper classmen. who attended the
lecture in the hope that the elected radi-
cal would be mentioned In one way or
the other. The freshmen, who constituted
the large majority of those present, were
silent before, during and after the lec-
ture. The name of Scott Nearing was the
unknown tx to them.
When Roswell McCrea, dean of the
Wharton School, got up to speak the
upper classmcn leaned forward with
hands cupped behind their ears so as
not to miss any possible denunciation of
the trustees for their refusal to reappoint
Nearing. Dean McCrea emphasized the
Importance of the honor system OF ex-
aminations and left the room.
Mr.. Reitzel then started his lecture. He
explained carefully that economies is the
study OF wealth and welfare, and that
welfare depends on wealth. The equal
distribution of wealth. he said, is neces-
sary for welfare.

sing went with Mrs. Lansing to q vaudeville theater. He wore the same gray suit fin which he had been dress ed during the day at the state depart ment and altogether showed a desire to be as inconspicuous as possible Few persons recognized him.
 Mir. Lansing became counselor of the state department April 1, 1914, follow ing the retirement of Dr. John Bassett Moore, who had resigned several weeks before because, as 1t was understood, of his disagreement with Mir. Bryan's Mexican policy.
 He was born at Watertown, N. r., Oct. F, 1864. He entered Amherst college in 1882 and graduated with the class of 1886. Studying law for three years at Watertown. he began practice there with cousin, forming the firm of Lansing x Lansing in 1889. and con tinuing as member of the firm until 1907. In January, 1890 he married Miss Eleanor Foster, the 0nly dnu2h ter of General Foster. who whcn tcs

Aided In Arbitrations.

He was counsel for the United States before the Bering sea claims commis- sion in 1896 and 1897 and later in 1903 was associated with Elihu Root, then secretary of war, as counsel before tho Alaskan boundary commission in Lon don. For several years he was counsel In the north Atlantic fisheries cases and in arbitration cases at The Hague.
 As n state department official Mir Lansing has developed direct, de- cisive manner of dealing with public questions. Secretary Bryan's absences from Washington gave him opportuni- ties to show his ability as acting sec retary. His first duties were connect ed with the shaping of diplomatic pol cies arising from the revolution in Mexico
 With the outbreak of the war in Flu rope the position which MT. Lansing had taken became one of high impor tance in the conduct of foreign poli- cies. With his aid a complete reor ganization of the state department was promptly undertaken for the consid- eration of the problems that arose from the peculiar conditions of the greatest war in history.
 By training and experience he had come to be known as one of the best authorities on international law in the country. Calm, unassuming and tire less, he has been the right hand of the president in all the situations which have arisen since the outbreak of the war.
 In the earlier stages of the war the preparation of American notes was conflded to MT. Lansing, and the pres ident's part in them was simply one of revision and general direction. Lately, the president has written his own notes, but they have been referred for technical corrections to Mir. Lansing rather than to MT. Bryan. President Wilson has looked to him officially and privately for help continually. Night and day he has been at the presidents call over the telephone to render advice and take direction of the innumerable details of problems aris- ing almost every hour.
 The extent of this is. well illustrated
