PENN WOULD PLAY
MYTHICAL ELEVEN
Bob FolweII Wants Game Ar.
ranged With AII.Americans
In 1917

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.--Bob
Folwell. Penn's head coach 10 willing
TO match his 1917 football machine
against the All.American. and he has
thought OF q process that Will enable
the nrst All.American game TO be
played, and vs.. Old Penn, too.
Folwcli plans to have the sporting
editors In New York, Boston, philadel'
phia. and possibly chicago, choose
their teams. The names will all be
gone over. and a consensus eleven ne.
lected. This will give true All
American team, and the men who
rank second high In the total vote
will be made substitutes.
This elan may be brought To Frank
lin Field and quhrtered at the train
ing camp OF the Red and Blue for a
week during which they can train and
get their signal drill going smoothly
Every player who makes this eleven
will be given, according to the pres
ent plans. a gold football. with the
color Of his college indicated, his
name, position, weight age, and
height at the time he played. The
receipts will be divided between Penn
and the colleges sending n player or
players To the great match.
folwell, In talking OF the proposed
game. said: There h no reason why
the great athletes who can make this
team. should not have a chance TO
meet each other, to play n game, To
get a watch fob that all the rest OF
their days they could treasure as the
hall mark Of tho greatest game 81
the rtrCr gest nation. I think the
game can be arranged, and I am sure
the players would like To get into this

coaches and many players about u,
and they were all OF the same mind.
that Il was AN excellent idea.
The critics would certainly pick q
whale OF a team. and even II they did
not have their team play down to q
nicely. they would be able, because
OF their speed and power To give Penn
the tighteSt sort OF n battle.
II know the general public would
like to see these stars. Penn will have
the biggest stadium In the world by
next fall. II the present plans ma

BRESNAHAN FOR SOx
Former Cub Manager May Be
Chosen to Lead Champions.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-In the event
that Bill Carrigan cannot be coaxed
out OF retirement the next manager
OF the Red sox will be Roger Bres-
nahan. part owner OF the Toledo club
and former manager OF the Cardi-
nails and Cubs. A baseball man Just
back from the American League meet
ing in Chicago Is authority for that
statement
While Bresnahan has extensive in
terests in the Toledo club. this person
says Roger would sever them In mo-
ment IL he got chance to get back
into the big leagues as manager.
Bresnahan always has felt he got a
raw deal when he was crowded out
OF the Chicago club to make room
for Tinker, and nothing would suit
him better than to head a club like
the Red Sox.

EBBETS' PLAN G0DD
lts Adoption Would Eliminate Many
Evils Of Annual Draft.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Two OF the
main objections advanced by the mi,
nors TO the draft system employed by
the major leagues are that clubs are
drafted, rather than players. and that
the big leaguers draft in Wholesale
fashion and then turn back most OF
the players. by drafting clubs il Is
possible to pick any player desired
rather than some particular player,
ana often player not wanted by the
club winning the right TO draft is
taken and traded To some other club.
The minors argue that IL each club
putting In a draft were compelled TO
name certain player, such wholesale
grabbing OF the best players, 20 be
followed by trading or turning back
in big numbers, would be eliminated.
The drafting plan which President
Charles II, Ebbets, of the Brooklyn
club, has advocated for some years
without favorable action by the Ma.
tionsl Commission, would obviate the
faults OF the present system, about
which the minors complain.
The Ebbets plan is to allow the
clubs, starting with the tailenders and
going backward, to name the players
wanted, The eighth place club in the
National League having first choice,
the eighth place club in the American
having second choice. and so until the
pennant winners, the teams in least
need of strength, are reached last.
The leagues would alternate by years
in making first choice. This is the
system of choosing by clubs.
II further provides that the major
leaguers must name a player Instead
OF a club. and shall turn no player
back The plan not only serves To
strengthen the weak clubs OF the ma
Jor leagues, but does away with the
two features of the draft which are so
Objectionable to the minors.
