TRAP SHOOTING
BASKET BALL
WHARTON AGAIN TO
COACH penn Line

Pennsylvania football machine is
completed, and all there remains for the
pigskin solons at the West Philadelphia
institution to do now is TO give it a
trial spin when the football season
opens up for 1916. With Coach Bob
Folwell at the wheel and his able as
sistants at hand, Old PENIS gridiron for
tunes should begin to climb. At the
regular monthly meeting of the board
of directors yesterday afternoon at
Franklin Field, the other members of
the 1916 coaching staff were ratified by
this body.
Byron Dickson will be Folwelps as
sistant, while DR.. Charles Wharton will
again take mp the duties of developing
the line candidates Harold CASTOR will
again lead the scrub players and Lou
JOur,let will tutor the freshmen candi-
dates. Charles Keinath. the former Red
and Blue basketball star will act in the
capacity of team scout. CASTOR will
also act in this capacity as he did this
last season.
Although the names of Dickson and
CASTOR did not come as a surprise, the
name of Wharton did cause some calcu-
lations to be upset, as it was thought
that the Delawarean would be unable
to take mp these same duties again next
fall. Many Of those who were in close
touch with the football situation at the
Univcrity, however. were looking for
the reappearance of this man on Frank

be forced TO travel to Philadelphia
next Saturday TO shoot the match.
This is again due to the fact that the
grounds Of the DUPONT Club arc still
unavailable for trapshooting pur-
poses.
The s. S. White Gun Club is a very
strong shooting organization and un-
doubtedly will bend every effort to
win the match against the DUPONT
team on the fifth. The Whites have
not lost a match this season, but in
the DUPONT Club they are meeting an
organization that numbers among its
members many OF the most expert
shooters in the league. The S. s.
Whites may be expected to muster
every available shooter. who is eligi-
BILE to compete with their team. and
Il will therefor be necessary for each
loyal member OF the dupont Trap
shooting Club to make the trip TO
Holmesburg Junction next Saturday
and assist in upholding the prestige
OF the local organization.
Through the courtesy of the man
agement, the trap Of the Greenhill

K|LBANE PUTS OFF
DEFENSE OF Title
Declines to Box Clancy in
Baltimore on March II,
AS He Agreed
MONTICELLO COMES
TO THE FRONT

n there is any call for additional
testimony that there is urgent need
of national controlling body in box
ing. with real administrative powers,
it is furnished by Johnny Kilbane's
latest move. Some time ago the
featherweight champion agreed to
defend his title against George
Chancy in a ffteen-round bout at
Baltimore on March "a. Now comes
Jimmy Dunn with the announcement
that there isn't going to be any bout
on said date. for the good reason that
lIilbane will not fight In consequence
the scrap is postponed indefinitely.
Dunn asserts that Kilbane has been
offered $4,000 to box CLANCY only six
rounds in Philadelphia on February
To- AS Kilbane has been guaranteed
only $1,000 for the fifteen rounds in
the Oriole City he naturally figures
that he would much rather keep the
Quaker City date which presents
practically no risk as far as the title
is concerned Dunn asks CLANCY to
fight in Philadelphia first, and then,
II Kilbane feels like it. he will set a
new date for the Baltimore meeting.
II want the Chaney-Kilbane bout
for the title to be Johnny's last fight
before he goes away on his summer
vacation" SAYS Dunn. AS kilbane
seems TO be enjoying a vacation all
the year round, we fail to see why
Dunn Is so solicitous about Kilbane's
summer rest.
Doesn't Fight often.
Johnny does not fight often enough
10 get up a perspiration. During 1919
he fought little more than 100
rounds-fourteen bouts. including a
twelve-round engagement with his
sparring partner. Cal Delaney.
They're talking about that yet out in
Akron.
Harris and Bletzer. who are pro-
noting the Baltimore bout, have gone
10 considerable expense arranging FOL
bleachcrs in an armory and other in
cidental matters. They have no re
dress. and they have only themselve
to blame, for they did not require
Kilbane to post a forfeit.
They thought Silbane's signatur
sufficient to guarantee his bein
among those present on March II. I
We had any kind OF an organization
like the National Sporting Club o
London. men like Kilbane would be
forced TO defend their titles at regu
Ian times and to respect their sigma
turcs.
Kilbane never has been popular
and his latest move will not better
his position any among the fans. Il
looks to us as ii he we're getting some
poor handling, for personally Johnn,
is a fine fellow.
