Coach Folwell Still Out;
Must Wait For Committee

Philadelphia, Jan. 25.-The sched-
uied meeting yesterday between Bob
FolWell, last years coach of the Penn
FOOTBALL team, and Wharton Sinkler,
chairman of the Red and Blue foot
ball committee, was postponed in
definitely because of the latters ill
ness. He is suffering with a heavy
cold and left his office early in the
afternoon. Folwell and SinlIler were
TO have discussed the matter of the
formers salary for the 1917 gridiron
season and on the result of such a
conference hangs the possibility of
Folwelfs return this year.
Folwell is said to ask for $4,000 in
crease over his present salary, which
rumor fixes at $1,000, and over the
salary which the football committee is
willing to pay.
Not only is there a hitch over the
matter of salary, but it is not entirely
certain that the Jersey agriculturist is
keen about returning to Penn as
coach. If he is and a considerable in
crease in his salary is made, it is
though THAT Folwell will be asked to
go the route alone without the services
of any assistant coaches

LIVELY BOUTS ON
BOXING PROGRAM
frankie MCGUIRE Has Best of
kid" Alberts; Local Boy
Wins on Foul

Boxing enthusiasts last night wit
messed two bouts that eclipse any
thing in ring exhibitions ever seen in
Harrisburg. In ten-round mill
frankie Mcclure of Williamsport lad
the best of Kid Alberts of Frederick,
Md. This was something like a ring
battle should be. Both men were in
evidence from start to finish.
The eight-round go between frankie
Erne of Lancaster, a former Harris
burger, and Al Murphy, of Scranton,
also proved q hair-raising miXup. The
Scranton boy looked like a winner on
points, but he did not have the easy
time experienced in the first bout with
frankie Erne last May.
Mcclure Uses Left
In the ten-round windup Alberts
had a punch and proved a strong in
fighter. MCGUIRE was cool and work.
ed his left to an advantage. The
Maryland lad showed slightly better
infighting experience. He had tie
best of four of the rounds. The other
six were unquestionably McGuire's.
The eight-round semi-windup was
an interesting exhibition and both
boys were on the move all the time.
Erne was stronger in every round
after the fifth. 1t was a scientific
battle and won much favorable COM
ment.
Short Preliminaries
The preliminaries ended early.
Referee Jack Zundell of Reading
stopped the bout between johnny Will
liams of Coatesville and Kid Murphy
of Lancaster in the third round. The
boys were using their heads fire.
quently and Williams received hard
blow in the stomach that put him al
most into dreamland.
Herb Hunter of Harrisburg, was
fouled by Fighting Ben of York in
the fourth round and received a blow
in the groin that may keep him out
of the ring for sometime. Those who
watched this bout closely are of the
opinion that the foul was not inten-
tional. Hunter, according to gen.
eral belief was partly to blame for
the foul. He won the battle on the
decision. and when in shape will give
the York man another chance.
