F0LWELL GETS HIS
BERTH BACK AGAIN
Penn Faculty Reappoints Popu-
lar Football Mentor

Philadelphia, Feb. 8.-Complete
vindication of his coaching methods
was had by Robert G.. Folwell yester-
day when he was reappointed coach Of
the University of Pennsylvania's foot
ball squad for next year. There Is one
clause in the contract, however, which
makes 1t possible for Penn to abro-
gate the paper. This clause does not
reflect upon the ability of Folwell, but
makes it possible for Penn to cut
down expenses should America go to
war with any other country.
This is the first time in the history
Of PENIS athletics that such clause
has been inserted In coaching con-
tract. The uncertainties of war
prompted the faculty athletic commit
tee 10 make this exception. The clause
in the event of war between the
United states and any other nation.
The reappointment Of Folwell fol-
lows "a campaign Of popularity which
found students, alumni and sixty men,
| bers of the Pennsylvania State league
! lined up with Folwell and against the
| faculty committee, which announced
| two weeks ago that Folwell would not
| be retained Foiwe1l objected to be-
| ing ousted from his position, and
asked a hearing that he might review
the charges made against him. AT
this hearing he was questioned fol-
half an hour, and at the end 1t was
announced that his name would be
! placed on the eligible list. Then came
the announcement yesterday that he
has been reappointed.
