PENN'S BUNCH OF ROCKIES
MAY YET PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL
Quaker Showing Against West Virginia Not Disap-
pointing to Coaches Who Really Could Not Expect
Much of Its Raw Material-BerrY's Great Work
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

The University of Pennsylvania foot
ball coaches. knowing the material with
which they started the season. ought TO
be satisfied with the way their team
came through its first game with West
Virginia. 1t was to a lot of green men
that they intrusted the gridiron honor Of
the Red and Blue. Because the players
were so raw the coaches had been able
to teach them in advance hardly half
dozen plays, while they had not prog
ressed beyond the first stages in the rudi-
ments of defense 1t was because the
men did fairly well the little they had
been taught that the coaches should be
satisfied.
This years team is being developed
upon scientific principles. For the last
three weeks every precaution has been
taken to ground the men in the rudi-
ments, particularly defense. Progressive
development in attack. defense and physi-
cal condition is the aim of the coaches.
This means that there are not likely to
be any big early season scores, even II
the team is able to roll them up.
Dartmouth. Michigan and Cornell are
the games toward which this team is
to avoid the unpleasant experience Of
waking up in mdseason TO discover that
their men do not know the rudiments of
the game, and then be obliged to waste
valuable time In the most critical part of
the season teaching them the funda-
mentals
It was fortunate for this coaching pol
icy that West Virginia was stronger
and better coached than most of the
teams the Quakers are accustomed to
meet in opening games. The visitors
knew more football than the home team
and they were in splendid physical con-
dition, but In spite of this handicap the
Quakers were the better team and thor
oughly deserved to win. Their best play
ing was in the first five minutes Of the
game, when, after holding West Vir-
ginia helpless, they carried the ball half
the length of the field for a touchdown.
1t was good football and consistent team
work that earned that score. The team
had a good many lapses as the game
progressed, but they were looked for.
Tho two features OF the game which
promise most were the surprisingly good
work of the line and the puntina of How
ard Berry. From the start of the sea-
son outsiders have feared that the line
would prove the weakest part of the
team The backheld will improve a lot
from this time forward. but the fact re-
mains that the forwards not only played
better than had been anticipated. but
they did better than any Of the backs.
Wray's play at centre was surprisingly
good. He handled the ball cleanly though
the new style OF quarterback play helped
him. Otherwise he was perhaps the
most active man on the field On kicks
he succeeded in getting down with the
ends, and he always followed the ball,
He promises 10 develop into a typical
Pennsylvania centre.
OF the other forwards Matthews gave a
good exhibition. Like Wray, he was
always quickly down the field and he

only need three pitchers-certainly not
over four-and to make his selections at
the right moment from the stan he has

AS in 1914

As the same two cities will meet in
world series strife. the same schedule
undoubtedly will be maintained as for
1914-that is, two games in each spot be-
fore the shift is made. Since Philadel-
phia drew the opening last season. there
is a general hunch extant that Boston
will draw the 1915 opener, where the tre-
mendous capacity of the Braves park
will smash all records for attendance.
The record for world series attendance
still stands at trife more than 3S,OOO
established in the Giant-Athletic series OF
1911 AS the Braves ball park can handle
close to $4,000 souls, this past record will
be beaten by 60OO or 1000, at the smallest
estimate. Provided the weather doesn't
make too many threatening gestures
while the big show Is under way.

IN T. 0. BUILDING
BY BuRTON h. sTANDIsH.

(Wrtten for The United lress.)
WASHINGTON, May 2G.-"Regard-
less OF politics." said Assistant Sec
retary OF the Treasury Byron r. New
ton and he grinned when he said il.
for he knows it's punk politics he's
playing regardless of politics. the
way this country OF ours builds its
posioilices is absolutely indefensihle!"
The former newspaper man, whose
present job places him in charge of
the public building program. didn't
grin much during the interview. Most
of the time he was mad and didn't
take pains to conceal It. The reason
for this was that he had just COM
pleted the disagreeahle task of order
ing 4753 employees to take eight days
off without pay before June 80.
"A big part of these employees are
charwomen and ianitors,' he said.
THE women get $500 a year. the jan
itors, $500 They can't afford TO lose
that eight days pay. But what are
you going to do? In the face of our
exact estimate of the amount of
money needed for salaries. Congress
appropriated just Sl5O,0OO less than
is needed The law borbids our Gre
ating a deficiency makes 1t a penal
oifense. in fact and all we can do is
to take eight days work away from
every employe in the department.
Every Congress that ever met,
probably. has urged more employees
and higher salaries in the public
building department and every one
that ever met has ordered the con-
struction of buildings that ought
never have been built. II is thinking
of the waste of money in this re-
spect that makes me sore when l
have to slash into the meager pay
of the women who scrub out the post
offices in the various cities of the
United States
Newton has been making something
of record as a scrapper since he
took office. He is hucking up against
game that nobody has ever yet
/ beaten. but il may be said that no
body ever put bigger dent in 1t than
| he has.
Time and again he has succeeded
in cutting the cost of public buildings
enough to save his salary and the sal-
airy OF his office force Already IL is

| His method has been simply that Of
