PENN ATHLETIC
COMMITTEE APPROVES
COACH SELECTION
Bob Folwell the Man, Although
Red and Blue Directors
Refuse to Make
Statement

There was no meeting of the University
Athletic Committee this morning TO ap-
prove the selection of Pennsylvania 8
Football Committee as the 1916 Erdlron
coach. nor was meeting scheduled for
this afternoon, as announced yesterday.
This was due to the fact that the Uni
versty Athletic Committee had already
informally approved the appointee of the
football committee,
In spite of the lack of official con-
firmation 1t was considered virtually GER
tain that Robert G, Folwell, captain of
the 1907 team. would be named as head
coach.
This conviction was as strong among
Pennsylvania's athletic authorities as
they assembled for the regular monthly
meeting of the board of directors at the
A. A. office this afternoon as though the
official announcement had already been
made.
The plans of the Football Committee
were rudey upset yesterday by infor-
nation from the University Athletic Com
mittee. the body which represents the
Faculty as the court of last resort on all
undergraduates athletic matters, that it's
appointment would have to be approved
by this committee before being presented
to the board of directors. This was the
result or a new ruling by the University
Athletic Committee which will apply here
after to all coaching appointments
But the Football Committee had gone
so far In Its plans that 1t was impossible
to arrange a conference with the Univer-
sity Athletic Committee in advance of
today's board meeting, at which time it
was planned to end the coaching con-
trOversy. AS result Whar on Sinkler.
chairman of the Football Committee. had
a talk with Dr. Arthur Goodspeed. chair
man of the University Athletic Commit
tee, and presumably other members of
this body, and secured informal approval
of the committees action. When the
committee went before the Board of Di-
rectors this afternoon il knew that. its
choice would receive the approval OF the
University Athletic Committee.

GOLFERS PRACTICE
THE INDOOR GAME
ON STORE COURSES
Three Big Department Stores
Start Winter Season of Train
ing for Approaching
and Putting

There isn't any bonny heather, nor are
there any lusty lunges at the ball. but
indoor golf furnishes just the same in
splratlon for cussing and much of the
fascination that the outdoor game affords.
The winter drive on the game started
yesterday afternoon at Gimbel's. and the
big crowd, both lining the rail and on the
links" gave another sample of how
popular the game of golI is getting to be
here. Though the play is all with a
niblic. or mashie. and n putter, the shots
require all the touch and finenesS of con-
troll that Is essential outside on the turf.
In fact, to the player accustomed to taxi
ing his bit of turf with each shot, playing
from the soft carpet with which the In
door course Is covered, calls for an en-
tirely new style. and the player that
excels on the open links may be the
veriest dub" on the Indoor course.
Wanamaker's will open course tomor-
row. At Snellenburg's there Is golf
school, but no course. Other department
stores are taking up the matter OF indoor
golf. and 1t is expected that in the near
future the courses will be swamped with
players.
The course at Gimbers is more than 100
feet In length. At one end, behind the
punch bowl eighth hole is a high wire
screen, but otherwise the course is un-
inclosed save by low rail so that it
often happens that salesgirl jumps fran
ueally for counter when she sees a golf
ball rolling along the floor at her feet
and thinks at first she is face TO face with
mouse.
There are nine holes The ball must
De put through all the jumps and PAGES
imaginable. There are water. sand.
grooves, trees" lakes" camel backs
and every other kind OF a hazard TO
throw the ball away from the hole. One
OF the difficulties of the course is that
one gets too absorbed in the shots. Yes
terday one of the fair golfers suffered no
little embarrassment when she fell head
long over one of the pyramids.
Missed puts called for silent move
ments Of the lips. accompanied by a mean
look except in one case where one of
The male golfers jumped on his stick
and shook his fist at the ball with gut
rural flow of words which left little to the
imagination
Gee, he amt bit the bulls eye oncet,"
SAID smaTl boy, thereby adding much to
the eare-free air of the golfer at the bat.
IN a few days the heavy traffic over the
courses will commence.

AN AMATEUR IS AN AMATEUR

This Sums Up Finding of the Sports Governing

By KRITIC

DERHAPs much was accomplished by
L the delegates attending the daily con-
ferences Of the various sport governlng
bodies In New York last week-but II so 1t

disappointing, individually and collec-
lively, TO the Sporting Citizen. IL not to
the representative persons who took part.
The feelings of the former are those of a
man who expects money from home and
receives family gossip.
It was with infinite glee that the Sport
ing Citizen read that the assembling
bodies would seize the pesky amateur
problem by the throat and throttle 1t for
ever and a day. After laboriously wading
through the advance dope he formulated
the idea that the summer baseball ques-
ton would be sewed In bag and sunk
to the bottom of the Big Pond. lie was
led to believe that the things the del
eEates would do TO the amateur code

bitter was the awakening. The dele
gates came, they snw-nnd then they
departed. Much talking WINS done and
n new amateur code adopted. As codes

other codes. The words are well chosen,

The humble pnrnErnphcr does not

clan who administers N dose pepsin
to n patient dying with brain fever.
The m nneaffOn needed

IL required n knockout blow and II got

For countless years the Sporting Citizen
has been trying to find an answer for the
question. when is an amateur not an
amateur?" He has been "6li at sea"
Now, instead of being on terra iirma,
where nc was led to believe he would be
after the meetings In New York, he is up

Inconsistencies OF the existing amateur

mental error is in considering all sports

should he dyyelt with as a unit with les

Because a man is sufficiently accom-
pllshed In baseball to get real money
fer playing the game is no reason fo.-

golf For ourselves we claim certain
proficiency in billiards, but because OF
our excessive bulk we would be a woefui

Why should young man with swollen

There Is no reason on earth why tho

Neither is there any reason why the pro.
