.FOLWELL TO GET
SALARY RAISE AND
] LOSE ASSISTANTS

Philadelphia. Jan. 26-The sched-
uled meeting yesterday between Bob
Folwell. last years coach OF the
Penn football team, and Wharton
Sinkler, chairman Of the Red and
Blue football committee, was post
poned indefinitely because of the lat
ter's illness. He is suffering with a
heavy cold and left his office early in
the afternoon. Folwell and Sinkler
were to have discussed the matter Of
the formers salary for the 1917 grid
Iron season, and on the result of such
q conference hangs the possibility Of
F'olwelis return this year.
Folwell is said to ask for $4,000 in
crease over his present salary, which
rumor fixes at $4,000 and over the
salary which the football committee
Isl willing to pay.
Not only Is there a hitch over the
matter Of salary, but it is not entirely
certain that the Jersey agriculturalist
is keen about returning to Penn as
coach. If he is and a considerable
increase in his salary, is made it is
thought that Folwell will be asked to
go the route alone without the SER
vices of any assistant coaches This
would be in line with a theory that
Folwell has worked out elsewhere,
that assistants are not only entirely
unnecessary, but that only one coach
makes better unit Of the team. Fol-
well is not in sympathy with a coach
for the line, coach for the ends, a
coach for the backs and so on.
a Penn had a very successful season
last year financially, so that it is
thought the football committee will
be attentive to the miracle man" who
put its gridiron athletes on the map
again in one short season.

YALE WINS FROM

Colgate hockey team was hopeless

under a to score at the Arena last
night. Brilliant offensive work and a
sturdy defense were responsible for
the local collegians' talent as time at
ter time they forced their opponents
into their own territory and lombard
ed the cage withs shots from all an
giles. Armour alone put four shots
into the goal and the Blue rover was
much In evidence throughout, the con-

Captain Murray and Bierwirth with
the able assistance Of Holcomb York
stopped the attempts of the Hamil-
tonians to reach the Yale goal in a
satisfactory manner, at least for the
Yale supporters.

BROWNE REFUSES
DARCy'S DEMAND ,
OF $4,000 PURSE

New York. Jan. 26-"They'' say
Les Darcy is going to be presented
with $4,000 for fighting either AL
Mccoy, the camembert middleweight
champion, or George Chip. The fight
Is to be staged at the Garden next
month or in March, according to
they
This wonderful tale of the thirty
thousand proves conclusively that the
law against the use of drugs is not
stringent enough. If they" were
brought before the bar of justice no
defense could be offered. for the odor
of the poppy percolates through the
fantastic fable.
Of course the plea might be that
the yarn was woven In Pittsburgh,
where the smoke is so dense it over
comes a stranger before he realizes
his plight. With the bra 1 clouded
with the fumes Of ore an excuse
might be made that form of tenn
pora dementia enmeshed the victim
and "they'' were irresponsible for
their actions.
This defense would be smashed to
atoms when evidence would be Of
fered showing that Grant Hugh
Browne, who they declared made
the proffer, was out of town and
therefore not handy to deny that
weird tale.
Browne may be a new man to the
boxing game, but the history of his
life furnishes adequate proof that he's
not such a terrible boob. He will re-
turn tonight and in all probability
flatten the narcotic story to the thick
of hoe " 10
Darcy may fight Mccoy or Chip in
the Garden next month, or in March.
but not for thirty thousand simoleons
belonging to Grant Hugh Browne. In
the first place the bankroH would
never recover from such an avalanche.
In the second place the scrap wouldn't
draw that much money.
There is not the slightest doubt
that Mccoy will demand the same
sum as Darcy. What will strengthen
Mccoy in his demands is Darcy's bonn
bastic utterance that he will have nc
trouble in knocking out Mccoy. Such
performance, at the proper weights,
would rob Albert Of his crown. with
out which Albert couldn't earn any
mazuma.
If Chip were matched with Darcy
not the slightest interest would be
taken in the affair. George. Twas
never much in favor with the boxing
fans around here. His performance
with Clabby at ST. Nicholas Rink
some time ago rendered him hors de
bunkum with the populace. Again,
the fact that Mccoy flattened him
doesn't boost Chips batting average
or drawing propensities.
Then, to knock the dope story
stiff, it is known that Darcy's repre-
sentative called on Browne few
days ago and demanded 100000 for
the Australian to appear in the ring.
Browne presented him with the order
of the gate and Immediately rushed
up to cold Montreal to cool off.

PRINCETON, NAVY
AND WISCONSIN IN
HUDSON RACE SOON

New York, Jan. 26-Princeton, An
napolis and Wisconsin may answer
the starters call with Columbia, Cor
nell, Pennsylvania and Syracuse in the
intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeep-
sic next June, or at least within the
next year or two. Although this
was not the definite announcement,
nevertheless it was the impression
that prevailed at the meeting of the
stewards OF the intercollegiate Row
ing Association.
There was lengthy discussion of the
proposal to cut down the distance
from four miles to three, and although
all three stewards were favorably dis
posed toward reduction in the length
of the course, to be effective in the
1917 regatta, they agreed that 1t
would be the better policy to consult
their individual colleges before max
ing final decision. It is probable.
however, that the next meeting of
the board, which will be held some
time within the next month, will see
the announcement that the length OF
the varsity race has been reduced
from four miles to three.
4 Another question that was discuss
ed at the meeting was that of invita-
lions. It was neither confirmed nor
denied that Syracuse was the subject
of much comment, but like the ques-
tion Of reducing of the course, final
decision was postponed until another
meeting. &
Pending the action on the proposal
to make the race three miles instead
Of four, efforts will probably be made
to sound Wisconsin, Princeton and
the Navy relative to sending crews to
Poughkeepsie. If the ground seems
at all favorable and the decision is
made to cut down tn Grace, invitations
will be despatched forthwith to the
three institutions named.

Pillsbury Played IL
Games Of Chess and
3 Checkers at Once

Some chess sharp has figured that
there are 318,979,564, 900 ways of
playing the first four moves on each
side Of the board. When you con-
slider the infinite variety of combina-
tons involved in mastery game of
chess, you may continue to sheer at
that game as a sport but you are
forced to admit that a chess master
must have considerably more brain
power than a southpaw pitcher. for
instance. When Frank j. Marshall
played 129 games simultaneously in
Philadelphia last month. he set up a
new record. Marshalrs opponents
were all good players. yet Marshall
won 81 OF his games, losing only nine,
the remaining 2S being drawn.
DR.. .Lasker. Capablanca, Bernstein
and other chess masters have per-
formed wonderful feats in PLAYING
simultaneous games, but Marshall has
surpassed them all. Harry N. Pills
bury used TO perform seeming mir
acles by playing many games stimuli
taneously without seeing the boards.
In Kansas City just sixteen years ago
to-day Pillsburg played twelve games
of chess and three games Of checkers
simultaneously, sitting with his back
to the boards.
Nonchalantly smoking a big cigar
he heard the moves of the players on
the fifteen boards called out to him.
and would Immediately call back the
name Of his own piece and where it
was to be moved. Although pitted
against men of unusual ability, he
won every game!
To do this he had to be able to keep
in his mind mental picture of each
board, and just where each Of 80
chessmen on each board was placed
and to direct the moving of his own
men without a moments hesitation,
yet taking into consideration all of the
men of his opponents, and the multi
tudinous possibilities Of their play.
Doesn't give you a headache just to
think of it?

EASTERN OUTLOOK POOR.

The Springfield Union doesn't think

last year. The Massachusetts writer

crowd of owners will never succeed.
The Union declares that in most
cities the present owners are disliked
by the fans who will never turn out
until somebody else takes charge Of
the franchises. This is particularly
true of Hartford and Springfield. 1t
is said that Jim Clarkin is very un-
popular in Hartford while Bill Carey
is also in bad with the Springfield
public The New Haven fans are
not so enthusiastic about wner Col
Inns, either, but most of them realize
his lack of experience and would prob
ably forget last years disaster If Col

Hitting The High Spots

Larry Bankhart's statement in
Boston yesterday leaves no room to
doubt that his threat about retiring
from football coaching is final. This
will be bad news to Colgate students
and alumni who hoped Bankhart
might reconsider. 1t is said that
eight of last years eleven will be
eligible next season but as they learn
ed the Bankhart system they may not
be able to do so well under a new
coach.
Mort Lindsey, the New Haven bowl
err, is going at top speed this season.
In the city individual big pin cham
pionship in the Elm City last night
he made an a>"ase of 232 rs for five
games. Lindsey's best score was
255 and his lowest ZIG.

President Dan O'Neil of the East
ern league is keeping quiet about the
Portland situation but there seems to
be no doubt that the Maine City will
have to be retained in the circuit an
other year. O'Neil has been giving
out interviews telling how bright the
outlook is for next season He will
hear the .magnates' opinion on the
subject at the meeting to be held in

Sporting Chatter

The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed
a semi-uro outf1elder named Billy
Batch. He halls from Mingo juno
ton, O., has played college ball and
is said to be as fast as Max Carey. He
played with the Pittsburgh Collegians
last season.
President Jack Holland Of st. Jo-
seph has arranged to take his Drum
mers to Tulsa March 20 for training.
The team will remain three weeks in
and about Tulsa Holland wants to
get a running start on the Western
league pennant this year.
The Wilkesbarre club of the New
York State league has purchased the
contract Of First Baseman Clarence
Kraft from the Milwaukee Associa-,
ton club. Kraft was with Louisville
at the start of last season, but was
traded to Milwaukee.
The Birmingham Southern league
club has declined the offer Of the
Chattanooga club for First Baseman
Doc Johnston, former Pirate. Man
ager Molesworth of the Barons says
he expects Johnston to be his first
baseman this season and cannot con-
slider any offers for his release.
The most likely piece Of baseball
legislation, with reference to the
rules, is an amendment that will do
away with the spitball, but the spit
ters are to be given year Of grace in
which to perfect another delivery, for
even if the action is taken 1t will not
go into effect until 1918.
President Clyde Shropshire Of the
Nashville Southern league club has
been elected speaker Of the lower
house in the Tennessee legislature. It
is certain the cranks won't put over
any anti-Sunday ball legislation in
Tennessee this season. The speaker of
the house will see to that.
Manager Jack Barry of the Red
Sox has issued his first order. It
went to Everett Scott, who has been
playing basketball at his home in In

were to cut 1t out. Barry will take
no chances on his side partner in the

season starts.
