BY EDWIN ]. POLLOCK

IL1HEN Lawson Robertson boards the

Pennsylvania will lose the most ya,u-
able man ever to have had hand In
the direction Of Red and Blue athletics
Lawson Robertson, as coach, trainer
adviser comedian and friend, has 20
warmed his way into the hearts OF
Pennsylvania men that there Is only
one branch OF work to which he would
be permitted to go and leave his duties
at Franklin Field. And that work is
helping to win the war.

commissioned In the air service of the
army as first lieutenant Ii Will he

Mineola are In good physical condition,
and II his past records are maintained
the men at the Florida training camp
will be in better shape than any in the
country.
A9 evidence of Robertson's ability
here are few statements by men con-
nected with him at the University:
Edward r. Bushnell, graduate man.
ager Lawson Robertson is man of
great valye. He Is the best all-around
man I know. AS an athlete he has taken
part In every branch OF track and field
athletics and he has made thorough
study of all Of them. He has surpassed
the expectations of his most ardent ad-
mirers. His loss is a great blow to
Pennsylvania"

detail is too small. He overlooks moth

Robertson came to Pennsylvania in
the spring of 1916, mainly through the
efforts of Ted Meredith, who received
valuable pointers from the New Yorker
during his running career. AT that time
he was assistant to DIR. George w.
Orton. The following fall he was given
full charge.
A glance at the record of Penn teams
since Robertson has had charge proves
his worth. The Quakers have been in
four championships, two cross-country,
one indoor and one outdoor. Two of the
four team titles have been won by the
Quakers. These were the cross-country
championship of 1917 and the A. A. u.
indoor national championship.
Before coming to Pennsylvania Rob-
ertson was coach Of the Irish american
Club Of New York, and it was there that
he established his reputation. He turned

There was no figure at the numerous

ure out of the game.
Passing of H. H. Cornish
He was hard worker and he had
hundreds of friends among the local
golfers. He never said or wrote an un-
kind word about them. and If he could
not say something kind he wrote moth
ing at all.
He ran many of the women's tourna-
ments, and at the various club tourna-
ments his experience in handling
Journeys was of great help to those in
charge Before he took up golf he was
n cricketer Of no mean calibre and he
played on the old Belmont eleven in
many matches.
