PRAISED
FOR SHOWING OF
PENN IN FOOTBALL

Tribute to Coach Bob Folwel1 for
developing the Penn football eleven
during the fall is paid in no uncer-
tain terms hc member of the 1916
16 football committee in a recent is
sue of Old Penn. Ralph Morgan in
discussing the coach and the team
says in part:
HE (FolwelI WAS given autocratic
powers by the football committee and
he exercised his authority, but he did
so in such way as to get absolute
harmony. His assistants, By Dickson,
Buck Wharton, CASTOR Jourdet, Null
ford, Keinath and Pauxtis, co-operat-
ed to make the season a success, as
did every player.
cit was a big step forward for the
football committee to abolish advis-
DRY boards and concentrate power to
make decisions into the hands of one
man. If ever case was proved this
case of the superiority Of a one man
system over coaching board was
proved during the season just finished
If you get the right man, and in
Folwell the football committee got
the right man.
sFolwell took substantially the
same players who had made such a
poor record in 1915 and turned them
into a first class eleven, with scor-
ing punch and an excellent defense
by the time of the Cornell game.
Make allowances if you will for the
natural Improvement in men with
years added experience, but you can
not overlook the fact that in 1915
they had no offense, while in 1916
they had one that compares favorably
in brilliancy and effectiveness with
that of the famous Haughton school
of football. So due credit must go to
Bob FolWell.''

MISKE and JACK
DILLON To MEET
TOMORROW NIGHT

New York, Jan. 15-Jack Dillon
will be hobnobbing around with Bat
Ting Opportunity at the. Broadway
Sporting club tomorrow night when
he meets Billy Miske, the st. Paul
perpetual motion machine. Dillon's
chance will present itself in that
William Miske has been perpetuating
altogether too much of late, say the
wise men of conditioning.
Miske beat Weinert, according to
his own schedule, but he took quite
a buffeting while scoring another vic
tory. Weinert registered not a few
solid shots to Willie's anatomy, and
Miske is bound to be a little stiff and
sore when he meets the famed man
killer of Indianapolis.
Dillon took a much needed rest and
then began to work in a quiet way for
this particular return fracasN with
BUSY Bill'' Miske. Dillon will be at
his very best, and Miske will surely
find that the terrific struggle with big
Weinert burned UP a lot Of his fight
ing energy. Working every night in
the week has not shaken Miske's con-
fidence in himself. If ever there was
a man in this world sure of st. Paul
Billy Miske, it is Billy Miske Of the
same town.
He asked Johr P. Dunn to be sure
to save these, the gloves he will knock
out Dillon with. Bill believes that he
can conquer. man or devil, and he
wants the whole world to know it.
That's Bill. He takes all sorts of
chances. They told him about Vein
ert's crack-a-jack right hand punch
but that didn't detain Miske once the
bell rang. He just naturally tore for
dear life and Weinert might just as
well have tried to keep a swarm OF
bees off with billiard cue as to
block Miske's thudding fists. It was
a hard nights work for Miske, at that
and he is bound to feel the effects OF

INTER STATE BLOWS UP.

The decision of the Interstate
Basketball league to disband was no
surprise to those on the inside. me
organization might have been sue
cess if properly conducted but the
affairs of the league were very loosely
administered from headquarters in
New York. The weakness Of the
New York club was another big han
dicap.
The local fans liked league ball for
the reason that they were assured
of seeing regular teams as opponents
for the Ribbons and the same players
did not come back each week. Manag-
er Leavy plans to have his club fin
ish out the season as an Independent
aggregation and as the campaign is
SO far advanced he does not expect
any trouble getting suitable attrac-
tons. Teams lie the Knickerbock-
ers, Reading of the Penn State league
and probably the Danbury five will
cause the fans to enthuse.

RED MURRAY TO
MANAGE ELMIRA

Toronto, Can, Jan. 15-Red Muir
ray, former Giant, will not play for
Toronto again next season. He OBJ
tanned his release from the Toronto
club, and during the coming season
will act as manager Of the Elmira
club of the, New York State League.
Murray came to the Leafs shortly af-
ter the opening Of the season last
year, when the local outfeld was
wrecked.
Murray, accompanied by several
directors of the Elmira club, arrived
in the city yesterday and held a con-
ference with the local owners. There
was no trouble in arranging for
Murrays release. President Mccall
ferry was quite surprised when he
heard of Elnaira seeking Murray as
manager, as it was his first intima-
ton that the player was being
sought. Murray Nves in Elmira

DARCY'S VENTURE
ON STAGE PROVES
FINANCIAL FROST

New York, Jan. Lies Darcy's
effort to uplift the stage; has been
somewhat of a financial failure, &C
cording to gossip in theatrical circles
last night; and because Of this it is
highly probable that the eminent
Australian actor will return to the
ring in the near future.
Darcy's premiere in Bridgeport
drew less than $500 profit, and in
speaking Of the act dramatic critic
declared that almost any preliminary
fighter, or Corse Payton, could have
done as We'll at 100 ringside.
In Trenton the first night perform
ance receipts amounted to $149, and
on beingf paid off Darcy is said to
have stated that he no longer aspired
to play Hamlet.

Chinese Player May
Be Mobbed Out West

Seattle, Jan. 15-In signing up Yer
non Ayau, the Chinese, infielder from
Honolulu, Bill Leard, manager OF the
Seattle team, seems to have stirred
up a hornets nest that is quite likely
to cause him some trouble before he
is finished. NAyau, as has been pro-
claimed far and wide, is a Chinese.
and Great Falls, Mont, one of the
cities in the Northwestern circuit. in
anything but partial to Celestials.
What may happen to Ayau if he
makes Great Falls on the baseball
circuit is problematical. Sentiment,
of course. may have changed, but the
arrival Of Ayau as the first represen-
tative of his race in 20 years will be
awaited with considerable interest.

AFTER PORTLAND CLUB.

Freddy Parent and Harry Lord, two
old time American leaguers, are after
the Portland baseball franchise. They
are negotiating with Owner, Hugh
Duffy for the club. It is doubtful if
the Eastern directors, will favor the
retention of Portland in the circuit
as nobody cares about paying fC< that
long railroad jump. If it could be
arranged to transfer the Portland
club to Massachusetts, or this state the
magnates would shed tears of joy.
It was such shock to have
Bridgeport win a championship in
anything that the Interstate basket
ball league blew up with a loud
crash

FULTON FINDS IT
HARD TO SECURE
GOOD OPPONENTS

New York. Jan. 15-Frederick Full
ton, of Minneapolis, Mimi, is sick in
the heart and head. Charley Weinert
Is the young man that caused gloom
and dispirit to enter into the life of
the big boy from the far West Fred
erick will never forgive Charley. for
his meanness, for Charleys act Fore
ed coolies of dough to fit away from
Frederick.
Charley spoiled everything by al
lowing Billy Miske, "a slighter youth,
to lambast him something terribly
last Friday night. AS Frederick sat
there and saw Billy wallop Charley,
he witnessed the passing out of what
figured to be a fitting rival. Before
the fray there was no question that
Frederick and Charley would meet
before q jammedA house. After the
shambles Frederick realized that such
q match is SNOW improbable, also i'm
possible.
It was a terrible blow that F'reder-
lick received. He is now in posi-
ton of being a corking scrapper with
no worlds to conquer. The removal
Weinert from the scene only leaves
Frank Moran in sight, and a fight
with Frank would have to be over
the marathon route to be anyway in
feresting.
At the present time Fulton is 4enta-
lively matched to fight Moran in
Cuba. next month. 1t is possible
that definite arrangements will be
settled during the coming week, for
Charley Henshall, the representative
Of Hugh Grant Brown, is expected to
arrive within a day or two.
While all this is going on, Fred
erick will be compelled to live a life
of comparative idleness. OF course,
1t is possible that Fulton may be
forced to invade other towns and min
gle with the hometown PRIDE This
isn't what he cares for, but at the
same time hotel bills accumulate and
they must be met. So circumstances
may play a leading part in his ca
reer. ~
: In the meantime Frederick will
still feel wrathy against Charley, for
Charles has passed right out Of his
life, thereby blowing up the looked
Tor prospects Of a big fat purse.

the idea of professional football being

club, announced yesterday that Bob
Fisher, shortstop with the Cincinnati

Although Johnny Kilbane will prove
a drawing card because he is a cham

RIBBONS TO PLAY
JERSEY CITY FIVE
TOMORROW NIGHT

The Blue Ribbon basketball play
ers will start their independent sea-
son by playing Jersey City tomorrow
night at Colonial hall. In spite of
the fact that the Interstate league
voted to disband the Jersey City boys
decided to keep their team together.
They will have such god players as
Loe Malone, HOBBY Fyfe and Erich in
the lineup.
AS a result of the latest changes in
the basketball situation Manager
Leavy of the Ribbons has decided he
does not need Buggy so he will not
replace Murray as reported last week.
He will retain the same lineup that
was good enough to win the cham
pionship. Jimmy Clinton will be
able to play regularly from now on
and Murray will be back at guard.
Games have been booked with Read
ing of the Penn State league and also
with the crack Jaspers Of Pennsylva-
MIA. Harry Wallum has been engaged
to referee all contests at Colonial
hall There will be the usual pre-
liminary and dancing tomorrow. The
