SHIFTS MADE IN
WESTPH|LA. TEAM
Coach Howard Berry Puts His
High School Eleven Through
Hard Drill
FIRST GAME ON SATURDAY
BY PAUL PREP

Coach Howard Berry, of the West
Philadelphia High School, made a
switch in his eleven yesterday after
noon in an effort to whip the material
into shape for the game with Lower
Merton next Saturday. Berry put the
team through a stiff signal drill at
the Kingsessing Recreation Center,
using Berry, the former Haverford
High star, at end and Bosewell in
Bcrry's pace. This shift was neces-
sary because of the ineligiblity of
Johnny Witherey, the veteran end.
The first team lined up this way
yesterday: Ends, Wood and Berry ::
tackles, Cowell and Myers; guards,
Huntz and Medholdt; center, Clar'i !;
quarterback, Welch; halfbacks, Sweet
and Bosewell fullback, Kneass.
Opening Lineup
1t is likely that this will be the
opening lineup of the team against
the Merionites, although Coach Berry
is going to see to it that every man
on the squad gets chance before the
whistle blows.

League opens. When that time arrives
he will select his team to go through
the season.
Sweet, Wood, Kneass and Jeffrot
have been doing some excellent punting
recently and yesterday they were bet :
ter than on any previous day. Coach
Berry, who is a great punter himself,
is teaching the high school boys to
get off long spirals in quick time.
Not only is he instructing them in dis =
tance kicking but he is paying special
attention to direction.
Harriers Practice
Coach Hughes, of the cross country
team, believes that he is going to have
championship bunch of barriers this
season. He has given them several
workouts already, and the boys have
shown remarkable ability in their road
work. Hughes has had charge of this
work for the last five years, the result
being that he always has had the West
Philly boys ct the front in this branch
of athletics. This season he expects
his men to do even better than they did
last year. when they were rated among
the best in Philadelphia.
Among the veterans upon whom
Hughes is depending are Captain Ziebes
Perrett, Patterson, Enck and Shell
Simmons and Waught are also good
men, but they are not up to the stand
ard of the ones just mentioned.
Coach Fred Vail, of the soccer team
has arranged a series of interclass con
tests to arouse more interest in thu
game. The boys have shown much mor'
interest in soccer this season than il
any previous one. For a number o
years soccer did not flourish at Yves
Philly, but now Vail is sure that h
will be able to get together bunch o

WRIGHT CALLS CANDIDATES

The University Of Pennsylvania
sweeps will have new boathousc. This
was decided yesterday by the Quaker
solons, and it remained for Head Coach
Joe Wright to announce that SOC, 900
would be expended for the construction
of q modern home for the oarsmcn along
the Schuylkill.
Boathouse Row will be deserted. The
first departure from the popular home
for the oarsmcn along Riverside Drive
will be made when the Penn boathouse
is erected on the west bank Of the
Schuylkill near the Spruce street bridge
and not far from Franklin Field.
With the Red and Blue oarsmcn
forced to journey all the way to Boat
house Row it made it decidedly incOu-
venient for the boys who had late
classes. Now the candidates can take
workouts in the rowing room of the
gymnasium, then hasten to the boat
house and engage in light spin before
calling it n days work.
Penn means to make rowing a major
sport. The first call for fall candidates
brought forth an army of willing would
be sweeps. Coach Wright looked over
135 candidates yesterday, seventy five
of whom were freshmen.
Before another week has passed Coach
Wright expects to have at least eight
freshman shells on the water. The an
nouncement that fall regatta would
be held did much to arouse interest
among the new men.
The new boathouse will be ready next
spring. It will stand at Thirtieth and
Spruce streets, where a bridge crosses
the Schuylkill The city Of Philadel-
phia originally gave this ground to the
University. 1t had been idle until the
Penn athletic officials announced re-
Gently that part of it would be used for

Sensational Scrap Results
When Youngsters Box

BOTH PUNCH HARD
by LOUIS Ii. JAFFE

TT WAS a good, great, gruclling
L glovefcst The brace of bantam
joey boys-Burman and Lynch-put
on one of the best bouts ever seen here
between petit pugs in the star scrap
at the Olympia last night. They boxed,
and they slugged they used good judg-

to show to advantage when the final
gong changed ending eighteen minutes of
slashing socking. 1t was corking

Quered. Before the New Yorker can
prove superior form over the Chicagoan
or vice versa. some one will have to get
them together in a longer bout. Six
rounds are insufficient Burman and
Lynch went at it as soon as it was per
missible. At the gong starting the
contest they rushed at each other like
pair of unleashed wildcats and even
the bell failed to make them quit. Ref
cree Lou Crimson had to tear the
youngsters apart at the end of each
round.
Start OF Evenly
Lynch got away into the lead at the
start of the first round by using his
longer reach to advantage. Several
stiff straight lefts brought slight
stream of blood from Burmans nose
They staggered each other with riga,

SETTLED QUESTION OF VOTE
Decision Of English Registrar Almost
Worthy to Rank With That Made
Famous by Solomon.

Not since the days Of Solomon, per-
maps, has more perplexing problem
confronted judge than that recently
presented to an election registrar in
England. A certain voter possessed
house which stood half in one parish
and half in another. The question
consequently arose as to in which par
1sh, or whether not, indeed, in both,
the householder was entitled to vote.
After some discussion ray of light
was vouchsafed to Solomon. In which
parish, he demanded, was the mans
bedroom? Unfortunately, in both.
Then was it that Solomon stood fully
revealed; the infant, of mature years.
Should be cut in twain. The parish
In which the head of the bed stood
Should have the honor of the vote,
Which is all very well, except that
there are many voters whose feet take
them to the polling booth, but whose
heads are no good when they get there.

man has not head he should have
feet. '-Christian Science Monitor.

MORE PURE BREEDS HERE
IS THE new SLOGAN

Figures relative to the Wisconsin
cattle and dairy industry just COM
piled by D. H. Otis, assistant dean Of
the State Agricultural college, who is
now on his way to France to instruct
the Yanks in farm management, are
of more than ordinary local interest
by reason of the many owners of
herds here. In report made just be-
fore his departure, Dean Otis gave
conclusive evidence, if any were
needed, that farmers cannot afford to
keep COWS of low production.
From an average taken in a census
of 800 farms where COWS were return
ing less than 100 per year, it was
shown that the labor income of the
farmer was $617 Where COWS were
returning from $50 to $1O0, as shown
on seventy-seven farms, the labor in
come was $112O and on fifty-six farms
where COWS were returning 500 a
year or more, the labor income was
$3.50.
These figures are typical of local
conditions. Various farmers in this
locality who have used pure bred
bulls have proved without question
and beyond contradiction that their
returns were far in excess over farm
ers who used only scrubs or grades.
