NEW COACH RULE
Elimination of Pro Tutors
Should Improve Competi-
tion, He Says
EXPECTS CLOSE RACE

DR.. Phillip Lewis, physical instructor and
football coach at Germantown High School
believes that the rule passed by the super
visory committee on athletics of the Phil
adelphia High Schools last spring, barring
professional coaches in all sports in the
local high schools, will make better COM
petition among the schoolboys.
why should we bring in outsiders TO
coach our boys when we have men in the
faculties capable Of instructing the cand-
dates for the various teams?" asked Coach
Lewis.
But how can you coach the football,
soccer and cross.country teams during the
fall. and baseball, track and tennis squads
in the spring. was asked.
81 won't" replied Lewis. Some of the
other members of the faculty have offered
their services to coach other teams. But
! expect to have some assistants in my de-
partment soon and these men will look
after most of the teams.
1.-The professors cannot be expected to
drop their scholastic work to coach athletic
teams. and the result will be that the
physical departments in high schools will
be increased. Members of the faculty are
helping us out now, as it is impossible to
find capable physical instructors, as most
of them have joined the colors"
Doctor Lewis then was asked if he
thought his team would win the Gimbel
trophy. "At the present time / fail to see
how we can win this year. Only two veter-
ans are back from last year. Captain Nee
han and Flanagan, but there is a wealth of
material on hand and it is up to me to teach
them the game.
I'VE don't expect to finish last and IL we
are beaten it will be by better team. The
high schools will be about evenly matched
on the gridiron this season. There are
plenty of big fellows in school who won't
como out for the team and who should
have the same spirit as the instructors have.
Doctor Guerney and Snyder of Northeast
O'Brien and Gallagher, of Central and my
self give our services in the afternoons
gratis, so why shouldn't these big fellows
come out for the team?
Although we have no athletic field, we
are practcng on the lot next to the school
every afternoon. Beginning next Monday, I
expect to have scrimmage between the boys.
Germantown will be forced to play all Its
games away. but this is not a handicap"

stopped on the sixteenth green, Yet the
caddie wanted to charge me the three

caddies, yet others seem more interested
in looking for lost balls than your own.
We have an excellent scheme here by
which we dock boys who lose golf balls in
the fairway, provided they are not lost in
water hazards, yet few of us infict the

SAM BOYLE HITS FREIGHT TRAIN,
TRACKS, STATION, TREES, BUNKERS
AND CREEK AND BREAKS A RECORD
Last of Football Heroes Of Other Days to Take
Up Golf, and Began Because There Were
No Tennis Players Left
BY PETER PUTTER

GAM BOYLE is the last of the big foot
~ ball men to take up golf, and the only
reason the old Penn star is playing golf
is because nearly all of the tennis players
have left for the front and he has no one
to play tennis with. He began last year
and he likes the game better than any other
sport he has followed He says the only
trouble about taking up golf after man
has been out of college ten years or more
is that the golfer is not so apt to take it
seriously enough. The other day dig
nfied player at the club asked him what
he went around in, and when he replied
that he usually went around in three to
four hours, provided there was continuous
sunlight, the dignified player did not like it..
He went to Pine Valley some time ago,
and when he returned some one asked him
what he thought Of the course generally
conceded to be the masterpiece of American
golf-course construction. Whereupon Boyle
replied, seriously: "I did not see any golf
course, but did see n beautiful scenic rail-
way. l am just learning the A, Il, C's of
golf. and Pine Valley is for the post-grad-
yates"
Some Hole and Some Record
In playing one of the holes paralleling
the Reading road to New York he made
what he said was the record for the Hunt
ingdon Valley course His first ball was
pulled out of bounds and hit a freight train
Two others struck the railroad track an
other hit the station and a few others hit
trees and the rest of them went into bunk
ers and the creek. which rambles all over
the course.
The caddy problem at Huntingdon Valley.
as it is at Old York road and Phlmont is
a serious one. A couple of weeks ago the
caddies at Huntingdon Valley went on Il
strike, and some time ago the boys at Phil
mont did likewise. In both cases the clubs
were the winners. Boyle has a house near
the second tee, and as he is one of the
oldest members of the club he knows all the
boys by sight He believes the more you
do for the caddies the less they will do
for the players. As an instance, he cites
the following:
There is pond near my house and I
let the boys swim in it. / placed n ladder
so the youngsters could get out easily. It
disappeared and two others with it. Two
of us were playing the fifteenth hole and
George Brooks Joined us at the tee.

and trainer, to Jack McGuigan. promoter

Terry McGovern in the star bout tonight
He is a brother of Frank Picato and halls
from Los Angeles, Cal. Babe has been
in the East since returning from Australia
where he made tour with several other
boxers under the guidance Of Dime, and
has made good in several matches on this
side OF the Father of Waters. Babes
last contest was a victory over Patsy
Frederick, Labor Day, at Reading. Pa,
After winning a dozen consecutive amateur
bouts on the Pacific coast in 1910, Babe
entered on a professional career the fol-
lowing year. lie says he has competed in
aftv-seyen bouts and has never been de-
feated Being of the fight type, tearins-in

aggressive opponent in McGovern' and the
Babe will have no easy argument, no mat

are given to understand that besides
being outweighed six pounds he had

FROM MADISON men
NEWS OF WHEREABOUTS OF
MEN KNOWN HERE-GOING
TO THE ENDS OF
THE EARTH.

G. A. Trimmer received a card
Yesterday from Porter p. Lowry, who
for some time worked in Mr.. Trim
mer's office, advising that he would
probably be sent across the water in
a few weeks, into active service on
the other side. Mr.. Lowry enlisted
i'm the electrical work of coast artll-
lery early in the year as a result OF
passing a good examination in the
technical part of the business. and
has been in various places in the east
during the latter part of the SUM
mer. He is now at Fort Du Pont,
Delaware.
1t was the general impression that
| the service into which he entered
would keep the men on this side OF
the pond. acting as a defense of our
own shores. From the information
given by the card it appears hat this
assurance was in error.
On the same communication he
also states that Bert Bowel, who en-
listed in an engineering corps, and
who for some time was in training
camp at Jefferson Barracks. Mo, Is
now i'm Washington and expects to
accompany his corps to France some
time this week.
Erman Coats, employed in the
printing establishments of Madison
during the early part of the summer,
writes from San Antonio, Tex, that
he is in quarantine, with six more
DAYS to serve of the IA days required
He is a member of an aeroplane
squadron, enlisted at Hastings, Neb.,
camped and trained at Denver, Colo,
and now sent to San Antonio to an
other camp for further training and
development.

THE STREETS
CRYING DEMAND FOR FINE SAND
CHANGES IN PERSONNEL.

The paving company is having
difficulty in finding sand of fine
enough texture for use with the as
phalt top coat for the streets, ii was
said today. There is a pit west of
town on the Mrs. Walden place, and
another small deposit just east of
that. But neither one is of large
amount, and gets coarser rapidly as
it is mined deeper. Even the tail
ings from the gravel washer south of
the track is not fine enough for this
work, and the situation is said to be
embarrassing. The plant was not
working this morning, but this after
noon they are laying binder on Egan
avenue nearly to the intersection of
Fourth street n.
The mixer has one side of Egan
avenue done as far south as First
street north. The work has been re-
tarded somewhat by the fact that too
much material was piled in the street
making it necessary to remove part
of it, and place it farther down the
street. The sand and gravel is now
piled as far south as the intersection
of First street S. and that part of the
street is ready for the laying of the
base.
The shovel excavated the street as
far as Second street S today, then
worked at shoveling the excess ma
terial from ahead of the mixer. This
machine takes too much dirt in its
progress, making it necessary TO haul
the dirt to the real of the machine,
to where men are surfacing, and
dump it again for filling.
The cables for the electric light
wires for the street lamps have all
been connected. These were run
through galvanized iron pipes and
laid along the curb, covered with ce-
ment for protection. This will al
low of laying the extension of the
walks without the cement of the
walks including the pipes, so that in
the event of taking this extension

by the union of the two compositions.

of the asphalt plant hat VIM. Bay

informed upon good authority that
the dealers in South Dakota are not
particularly in need of bituminous
coal. but that they are badly in need
of anthracite and hat efforts should
be made by the federal authorities
TO expedite shipments to the Forth
west.
He further says in the letter re-
ceived here that the correctness Of
the statement respecting this short
age seems TO be doubted by some OF
the Washington authorities, as they
assert there should be no great diff
ficulty in procuring anthracite, while
ii is well known that there has been
a serious shortage of bituminous
coal.
Correct information as to the sit
uation in the northwest and particu-
larly in South Dakota is sought by
Senator Sterling, who is asking all
dealers 10 forward TO him certain
data. He wants to know the tonnage
each dealer had on hand at this time
last year and the tonnage on hand al
the present time. He further desires
to know the James and addresses OF
the various companies from which
coal has been purchased or ordered
