WILL MAKE PENNSY A WINNER
Folwell Believes In Casting Off Old and
Adopting New.

Give me a year to take Penn out of
the rut into which she has fallen. If /
can't do it in that time l can't do it at
all, and am willing to shoulder all the
blame" These are the bold words of
Robert Folwell, who will coach Penn
sylvania's varsity squad next season.
Folwell typifies the new spirit on the
gridiron. He believes in casting off the
old and taking on the new. His w.
and ]. elevens of 1913 and 1914 were
wonders in the use of the forward
pass.
When he lost almost all his stars in
June, 1915, many thought w. and ].
would quickly pass from the center of
the stage, but Folwell had something
up his sleeve. Taking the substitutes
of the year before, he whipped them
into such shape that they ran away
with Yale and went through a most
creditable season. Folwell is willing
to take the chance, and he will be en-
titled to all the praise if the Quakers
have a successful campaign next fall
He won't yell if he fails, either.
