HIST! DIR. WHARTON
ATLAST REPORTS
Long-Looked-For Line Coach
Appears on Franklin Field
and Assists Folwell
THREE SHIFTS IN LINEUP

Doctor Wharton was on Franklin Field
this afternoon. For the first time this
season the former head line coach of the
Penn football team made his appearance
on the historic Quaker gridTOn. While he
did not get into action, he did not fail to
detect many flaws in the playing of the
Penn linemen, but stated that he would not
attempt to change the style of play until
after the Pitt game.
one of the most apparent defects in the
Penn line play was that the men did not
face the center. A natural lineman, accord
ing to Coach Wharton, will face the center,
hut none of the first line of defense on the
Quaker squad did this. Coach Wharton in
tends to be on the field again tomorrow
to do his share in perfecting the line play,
but expects to wait until Monday before
taking an active part in the line coaching
Bert Bell probably will not get into the
Pitt game. Trainer Lawson Robertson said
today that the Penn quarterback was in no
condition to get into the lineup, and as
Robertson's word on the condition of the
men is final, this most likely means than
Bell will be on the bench. However,
Trainer Robertson said that Bell would be
examined by Doctor Carnett tonight If
the physician believed Bell In condition to
start he would let Bert direct the team.
Fowell announced a few changes in the
team and these probably will take effect
against Pitt. Joe Van Ginkle will replace

WEST STPHILADELPHIATO TO HAVE CLUB
IN EASTERN BASKETBALL LEAGUE,
WITH FINEST HALL IN THE CIRCUIT
Entire Deal Depends Upon Whether DR.. Charles

TNHE prospects for big league basketball

bright and II everything runs smoothly be-
tween now and the meeting of the Eastern

mornings papers that the franchise for

Eastern League circuit, having n seating

A hrst-class team across the Schuylkill

obstacle has always blocked the enterprise
The new club is being backed by Or. Charles

franchise
President Scheffer also received an offer
from another promoter yesterday who Is
anxious to place a team here, 80 It Is
certainty the franchise will remain in this
city.
Cage and Seats Needed
When interviewed on the subject Doctor
Fmpey said, Il hope to be able TO attend
the meeting tomorrow night and accept the
franchise"
1T has been said that you will place your
team in the First Regiment Armory, Broad
and Callowhill streets. Is this true?"
Positively no. have engaged quarters
dating more than 5000 spectators. The
only hitch in accepting the franchise at
this very moment is the fact that have
not as yet secured a cage and seats. and
hope to hear today from Joseph L. Bailey
or other Greystock officials in regard to
buying or leasing their cage and stands.
l am not jumping into the basketball game
blindly I have profted by past experience
and have been working on the present plans
for some time" Doctor Empey is not alone
in his new venture.
At Tuesdays meeting Jack Gardner and
Frank Taylor were offered the vacant berth,
but were unable TO obtain suitable playing
quarters. They inspected several sites in
Chester yesterday but all proved made
quate. The armory is the only available
place. but the stands and cage must be
removed from the premises after each
game and this would be too expensive

offered to play with some of the eight clubs

Among those who have accepted are

Bruggy is captain and manager of Provl-

Wilkes-Barre and Garry Schmelk has cast
his lot with Pittston. From what can be
learned Jack Lawrence, of the Greys, is
also at Hazleton and not at Wilkes Barre,
as first reported.
Jersey City Poor Proposition
Had Jersey City been admitted to the
Eastern League it would have been a dis
astrous move on the part Of the local
magnates. Not that the club would have
placed an inferior combination in the field,
but it would have caused break in a
compact circuit and this has been the
success of the Eastern League.
An out-of-town entry meant n decided
loss to Jasper, De Neri and Camden, for
Jersey City would carry no following with
them, while all the above, except De Neri,
bring several hundred TO their games away.
Jersey City was last season managed by
Frank Morgenweck, but he Is out Of the
game this season, after being actively iden-
tilted with the sport for over twenty straight
years According to his brother, Billy,
manager Of the old Camden Electrics his
health Is none too good. He has charge Of
the freight yards at Flushing, l., L., and
can hardly spare any time owing to the big
increase in shipping.
This Is a busy evening for the minor
basketball leagues and the American Broth
erhood and Industrial all have meetings
scheduled. The first two expect to adopt
the schedule for the season, while the In
dustrials hope to name their circuit.
