as successor to Folwell as the gridiron
mentor at Penn. DR.. Bennett played
der Captain w. G. Gardiner in 1902
and Captain Sol Metzger in 1908. He
was member Of the same team as
Wharton Sinkler, chairman of the
Football Committee, and has been
looked upon as the candidate Of the
"Old Guard" referred to- by the de-
posed Folwell.
Folwell will have hearing before
the Faculty Committee tonight. This
announcement was made last night
by DR.. A. A. Goodspeeda chairman of
the committee, after DIR. Edgar F.
Smith, provost of the university, had
declared that Folwell was entitled to
a hearing and should not be counted
out Of the running until he had had
an opportunity to defend himself.
Dr. Smith further declared that
the system Of athletic control at
Pennsylvania needs revising, and
after the Folwell matter is settled a
new system will be inaugurated.
Under the new SYSTEM" he added,
.'the Faculty Committee will not be
given the final say in all matters"
Provost Smith said that had he been
consulted he would not have given his
consent for the football team to make
the recent trip to the Pacific Coast,
where it was defeated by the Univer.
sity Of Oregon. '"The trip was il-ad-
vised,'' he said.

The boys who bet that the Bridge

tians Of Hartford didn't feel very
clipper about 10:40 last night for the
Venetians took the local rollers down
the line for two out Of three. A
crowd that packed the Park City al
1eys watched the first match in the
series for a purse of 5000. There
were many Hartford rooters on hand
and they backed their team free
ly. az
Bridgeport might have had a.
chance if it hadn't been for Ardelino.
He broke loose in the second game
with a single Of 1877 and this was
enough to give the Venetians the,
game by one pin. Bridgeport had
won the first game so everything de-
pended on the third. The visitors
rolled steadily in this and theslocals,
were not able to overcome an earlyl
lead. Mike Feeney with 331 led.

WENCk SAYS
BOXING men
PAID HIM COIN

Albany, N. T., Jan. 31-Frederick
A. Wenclk, chairman of the State Ath-
letic Commission, was under the fire
OF searching, prying questions for
close to four hours yesterday at the
continuation of the hearing before
Franklin B. Lord, the governors legal
adviser, on the charges Of attempted
extortion and unfitness for office, filed
against him by Harry Morgan Pollok,
John r. White and Patrick T. Powers,
The legal inquisition carried him over
some rough and miry places, and
while he stuck steadfastly to his story
Of Monday on direct examination and
insisted that he was the victim of a
"frameyup." he found the going less
easy and was led into two or three
tangles and contradictory statements.
The hearing was not concluded. At
ter four-hour session, Mr.. Lord, with
the consent Of counsel, declared an
adjournment until Monday at 10 o'clock
at the Bar association in New York.
Wenck did not appear to relish the
verbal whip which Emil A. Fuchs,
counsel for the complainants, cracked
and snapped in his crosssexamination
His face grew more ford than usual
and he got to licking his lips as if
sip Of water would have been well
come. It is quite possible even that
he agreed with Hype Igoe before the
battle was over that "the law is
horrible thing"
Mr.. Fuchs refreshed his memory on
some statements made in his cross
examination, y which, by the way,
Wenck was quite willing to correct,
and then working along first one line
and then another delved rather init
mately into the doings and sayings of
the defendant just previous to and
during his life as a state officer.
AS starter he tried to find out why
Wenck lost his job as sporting editor
Of The Mail and got a quick and frank
acknowledgment that he (Wenck) was
discharged for reasons that had no
bearing in the remotest way on this
case.
Getting to more important things,
Mr.. Fuchs drew an admission from
Wenck that at least two other boxing
promoters besides Harry Pollok owed
him money for publicity work, and
had paid him after his appointment as
chairman of the State Athletic Com
mission.
The defendant testified that Eddie
Mcmahon aid him $50 in April, May
or julie, last year, and that Jack Cur
ley paid him $50 late in the fall of
1916 and 500 in January or February,
1916

Although Referee Harry Waalun
tried to put the jinx on Andy. Sears
by announcing him as the greatest
foul shooter in the world he couldn't
put it over. The old gentleman show
ed the young whipper snappers some
thing last night by beating the Blue
Ribbons almost singlehanded. He
tossed IL out Of 10 shots from the
foul line and this was. enough to let
Reading of the. Eastern league to
down the Ribbons by 20 to 49,
If the Ribbons had allowed Sven
son to do all the foul shooting the
result might have been different. He
is easily the best Of the local players
in that department and the Ribbons
should have followed the example of
Reading in letting one man attend to
the foul tossing. Anyway it was the
most exciting game of the season and
a crowd that packed Colonial hall
cheered almost continuously.
Haggerty, the mammoth center OF
the Reading five, was gazed at with
awe and admiration. Stretch Har-
vey played SO well against him that
Haggerty got only one goal. Walter
Swenson stuck to Beciman like por-
GUS plaster, preventing him from get
ting a single tally. Jimmy Clinton
did not play because of recent in
jury to. his leg although he was on
hand to be used in an emergency
Bruggy took his place and gave, a
fair exhibition.
Eddie White was the hero for the
Ribbons. The youngster was not re-
garded as dangerous when the game
started but he aroused the fans by
getting three goals and two from
fouls, leading both teams in field
goals scored.
The Ribbons started well in the
first half and at one time had a lead
of 6 to 2. Two long shots by O'Don-
nell were life savers for Reading and
at the end of the half the Eastern
leaguers were ahead by ~ to TO- 1t
was great battle in the second half,
first one side leading and then the
other. At no timo did either team
get a lead of more than three points
Just before the final whistle the score
was 10 to 10 but Sears threw the win
ming point from the foul line and the
Ribbons were unable to tie the figure.
AS the final whistle blew the referee
called a foul on Reading but after
comforting with the timers the referee
learned that the game was over be-
fore he called the foul so victory
went to the visitors. The score:

Weeghman of the Chicago club that
his eyes have regained their normal

Trainmaster Shipley of Wins

Trainmaster Shipley of Wins low was in Holbrook a short time last Saturday afternoon. Inter viewed by a representative of The News in reference to the action of some of the train crews in blockadiDg the crossing near the depot, MT. Shipley stated that an order would probably be made by the company in short time that all trains bound in either direction should stop for water at the east standpipe. This would improve the situation some, as the crossing would not be blockaded then by west bound trains; and it can be more inn proved if the trainmen on east bound trains are compelled to cut their trains and clear the crossing when taking water, as the rules require them to do.
