BROOKE A "FIGUREHEAD.'
Former Famous Fullback Forced in
Background at Penn University.

PHILADELPHIA, January e3.-Qnly
a scrap of paper. in the form of per-
fectly good, legal contract, and the re-
luctance of the University of Pennsyl-
vania foot ball authorities to submit
their affairs to legal controversy. has
prevented the entire elimination of
George H. Brooke, the former famous
fu1lback and all-round athlete from
coaching affairs at the Red and Blue
institution.
But failing in their efforts to obtain
the withdrawal of Brooke from the
Quaker foot ball affairs, the coterie
of former stars and athletic directors
at the Red and Blue college have
forced him SO far into the background
by a series of moves that his power
has been entirely shorn. and he will
receive the salary accruing for the
other year of his contract for being
"igurehead."
When the full announcement Of the
Red and Blue coaching staff and foot
ball program for the next few years
is made 1t will amaze even the Penn
sylvania students and followers of the
sport. 1t is safe to say when the smoke
clears away Carl Williams. Vincent
