The only plausible reason for this, as

never again suffer such a lapse as

SWIMMERS NEAR DEATH.

New York. Nov. 15.-Harry Elionsky,
who has been accomplishing startling
things in the water about here. came
within a fraction OF being drowned yes
terday. when with two men strapped to
his back and his own hands and feet
msnacled he swum Hell Gate. Elionsky
weighs 225 pounds and the helpers weigh
ed 3O5 pounds more.
The men were tied in such a manner
that Elionsky could only breath once
minute. and to allow him to breath
the helpers had 10 put their heads I'M
der water. so that Elionsky could come
up. They braved the whirlpools from
Blackwell's Island to Wards Island and
just as they reached the finishing point
they were caught in a whirlpool and
carried under the water. The assistants,
panic stricken. tried to free themselves
and their struggles pulled Elionsxy fur
Their under.
Finally companions in a boat reached
them and got them into the boat. but
not before every one in the boat thought
they were going to be sucked into the
whirlpool also.

possible manner, but never before was

NEW COACHING PLAN
GIVES PENN BACKBONE

Philadelphia. Nov. ia new spirit has
pervaGed the Pennsylvania football camp
for the last week. and everything points
to better things against Cornell than past
performances predict. Since Head Coach
George Brooke left last Tuesday there
has been a noticeable change in the rela-
lions OF the other coaches. Outwardly,
the coaching authority is still dictated
by board of advisers composed Of Carl
Williams, Buch Wharton and BY Dick
son. but gradually there is coming a
Capitalization of authority.
Williams now has sole charge Of the
offcnse. Every day there was scrimmage
last week Williams stood alone behind
the varsity. directing and correcting.
The effect was very noticeable yesterday,
DESPITE the fact that the Quakers failed
to score. With a dependable C.Iarter
back in charge they undoubtedly could
have scored at least twice. For the first
time this season the man carrying the
ball had interference worthy of the name.
The attack as a whole showed marked
Improvement and lacked only variety to
make II really dangerous.
Nobody has been able to find any real
fault with Pennsylvania defense at any
time for the last month. and II Williams
can only improve the Offense as much IN
the next ten days before the Cornell
game as he did in the last week and give
II sufficient variety. the followers Of the
Red and Blue feel confident that Cornell
will get a bigger surprise on Thanks
giving Day than Washington and Lee
gave yesterday.
