F0LWELL DEP0SED Z
AS Penn MENTOR
Football Coach Failed in CharaC-
ter Building, Says Faculty Head

Philadelphia, Jan. 30.-Robert C.
sity of Pennsylvania, has been de-
posed as head of the staff. No longer
is he affiliated with athletics in any
capacity at the Red and Blue univer-
city. This announcement is official
having as it's authority DR.. Arthur w.
Goodspeed, head of the faculty COM
mittee on athletics.
The dethroning of the man who
generally is recognized as having re-
stored winning football at Penn was
not due to any salary grievance, as
has been announced. ~
According to DR.. Goodspeed, Fol-
well was not engaged because he
did little character building for the
University Of Pennsylvania boys even
if he did put the Red and Blue back
ON the football map. Folwell was the
choice of the directors of the athletic
association and the popular candidate
for reelection of many of the students
and alumni, yet his qualifications
would not pass the faculty committee.
The re-engaging of F'olwell has been
the main topic in athletic circles at.
the university since the return Of the
Red and Blue team from it's trip to
Pasadena, Cal, where it lost the. New
Years Day game to the University of
Oregon Secret meetings were held
almost daily by the football committee
and other athletic solons. At the first
gathering to discuss the eligibility OF
| Folwell. it is said, the faculty COM
mittee suggested that his name be
| eliminated for various reasons, which
! they did not care to discuss. 1t was
argued that Folwell's contract had
| expired, and he was not to be recon-
| sidered under any conditions. De-
spite this suggestion, it is admitted the
| football committee included FolwelPs
name on the list Of coaches from
| which the next mentor Of the gridiron
would be chosen, but when presented
to the faculty committee, Folwell's
name was stricken from the list.
Folwell was indignant when he,
learned of the faculty committees. at :.
titude, and declared that he would
flight the matter to a finish"
81 have known for some time he
said. '.that the faculty committee was
opposed to re-engaging me as coach
but felt that in some way the matter
could be adjusted. = Now that they
} have Seen fit to make their repudia-
ton of my name public I am going to
fight the matter to a finish.
Or. Goodspeed says I am not &C
ceptable Why? I challenge any man
in the world to prove that my actions
during the last season have reflected
on the University of PENNSYLVANIA IN
any way If Penn is through with
me. ] am through-with football. but
i am not going to quit under fire"
/ He declared that the recent Cali
fornia trip of the PENNSYLVANIA team
was more Of clark" for the men than
anything else, and said he is sorry now
that he took the trip.

New York, Jan. 30.-Athletic ex-

ton, the Yale distancer, Ray covered
the distance in minutes 45 seconds
which Is rs seconds faster than the
worlds record now on the books Of
the Amateur Athletic union to the
credit of the late Tommy Connect

overshadowed everything else at the
Millrose meet, even the sensational

We quite agree with tho Butte
Miner that 1t is time the southern
congressman were jolted out of tn. IT.
trenches. Their attitude has been
most selfish and their influence with
the Wilson administration has encour-
aged them into the belief that they
may minimize the burden of the sout.,
in this war and get away with 1t. In
proportion, the north is carrying a far
heavier share of the war taxation than
1t should. Likewise It's allotment Of
Liberty bonds is far too great. The
southerncrs who are eager for a gov :
eminent fixed price on wheat, steel
and other commodities Insist that
there must be nothing like price fixing
Tor cotton or corn. This is war in
which the burdens should be shared
equally, and since the soutberners
have had nearly all the fat offices
from the Wilson administration they
should exercise some degree of sci.
restraint In the matter OF shifting til,
war load to the north.
