The University of Pennsylvania has
Numbered badly and is guilty Of base
ingratitude in allowing the athletic
council at that institution to drop Bob
Folwell as head football coach, with
out so much as decent explanation
for the action by the athletic council.
FoIwell took hold at Penn when the
school was in bad nut in football
sense and made good on the job. Now
he is cast out by bunch of ivory
headed boobs who don't have football
sense enough to come in out Of the
rain. In Folwell's place, John w.
Heisman, who had right good success
with Georgia Tech and the Heisman
shift until he started north and stopped
off in Pittsburgh two years in row
and took two sound beatings, has been
appointed. Taking Heisman for Fol-
well is Just about as brainy a stunt
as it would be to trade Tyrus Cobb for
a bat boy. Sooner or later the athletic
council will have to face the music
for this bone" This is not the first
time such thing has been done at
Penn much to the discredit Of the in
stitution.

MEETING TONIGHT

Diamond Moguls Will Gath
er Tonight to Discuss
City League Affairs

Baseball leaders are listed for a
session at the Y. NJ. C. A. this eve
ming when the problems of the city
league will again be given discussion
and an effort made to reach a def
mite agreement for conducting the
league this summer. Letters were
sent out several days ago by the Y.
NJ. C. A. inviting many of the local
baseball leaders to the conference
this evening and 1t is hoped that some
definite action can be taken.
While nothing definite is stated in
election OF permanent officers, 1t was
generally understood some time ago
that at the next, big meeting of the
baseball bugs the temporary officers
elected at the first session this year
would be relieved of their duties and
permanent officers elected. The met

ment was accorded the local players
when they went to Fairview, and the
visiting team and followers tomorrow
night should be extended every cour-

things we hope there will be none OF
is the stunt of yelling at a visiting

foul. There is little of 1t done here,
but 1t Is an old trick TO worry the OPP

Every loyal Fairmonter will be
pulling for the high school lads to win
tomorrow evening, and we don't want

One of the most desperate basket

at the Normal school tomorrow even
when Fairv.c and Coach Kahn's men
will come together in the second clash
between the. two teams this season
Fairview having defeated the locals at
the Fairview gymnasium several
weeks ago by a rather large score.
The local boys will be out for re-
venge tomorrow night, and despite the
great record Boyer's men have been
making lately, will have a fighting
chance to win the contest.
There is great rivalry between the
two schools, between the players ano
the rooters, but there Is no reason in
the world why the game should not
be clean one all the way, not only
from playing standpoint, but from
the rooters' angle. Very good treat

PRIDE GOETH
BEFORE FALL;
GOOD ADVICE
Fairview May Run Into a
snag With Locals To-
morrow Night.

There Is something uncanny about
the way the Fairview high floor team
has been emitting up the last few days.
These suburbanites have been cavort-
ing round in a manner that has made
tho people in the city sit up and take
notice. And these same birds will be
in the big city tomorrow night to
tackle the Fairmont high school team
at the Normal floor. Right now the
best chance the locals have to win is
the fact that seemingly they have no
chance at all. That is to say that af-
ter long run Of sensational victories,
Fairview is liable TO come down here
so full Of pride that she will be lean.
ing over backwards, and somewhere
in the Good Book It says 4 few well
chosen words about pride going be-
fore a tumble, or words with the same
sentiment. We don't wish Coach Boy
er and his bunch any hard luck, be-
cause they seem like a nice gang, but
1t would please us terribly, being
from Fairmont, to see them take a
tumble here Tuesday evening. In fact
We can't think Of anything that would
be more appropriate way of spend
ing Tuesday evening than watching
the Fairmont high bunch clean up on
the suburban wonders.
But what we started out to say had
something to do with the very recent
antics of this bunch OF record seek
ers from Fairview. Thursday night
they settled an old score with Farm
ington, S1-2S, or some such short
end figure. On Friday night by way
of keeping in shape for the game with
the w. v. U. freshies on Saturday evei
ming, they went to Shinnston and with
only three regulars in the game made
score OF II, while the best Shinn-
ston could do was rs. In this, game
Snodgrass made the small total OF
10 field goals. while Stewart annexed
10.
Saturday night the going was not
so soft, and 1t was only sensational
shot by Snodgrass in the last second
or two of play that enabled the Fair
view bunch to cop the battle from Ii ,
1923 men 34-33. This was the near
est the Boyerites had come to defeat
for some time.
Snodgrass and Stewart at forwards
form combination for Boyer that ia
hard to beat, and as point getters
they are the best we have seen. for
many day.
In speaking of the Fairmont game
while in the city Saturday Coach
Boyer stated that he was hoping tc
win, and that his men had a fair
chance for victory. He also intimated
he was working out combination
that will make the locals hustle.
Boyer is like old Dobbie. down at the
Navy, he never thinks his team has
a chance, but the burned bunch seems
TO get there somehow or other.

VARSITY LANDS
+ NORMAL BATTLE
Locals Play Good Ball But
{ Lose Out in the Sec
ond Half.

Coach StadYolds West Virginia
tossers barely managed to nose out
Toothmans Normalites Saturday eve.
mig IS 10. while a crowd that taxed
the capacity of the new gymnasium
to the limit rooted all the way for the
local lads to gain the decision. 1t was
a battle such as one glimpses but once
In long, long time, battle that made
your fingers tfngle with excitement,
4 game that was fast, hard and clean
an the way, and one from which you
could go away well satisfied even II
your fayorites were defeated.
There were some Of the spectators
who during the game seemed to think
that Referee Underwood was not Civ
ing the locals fair deal. 1t is only
natural when the home team is being
beaten to feel that the referee is 4
Fort OF detriment to the community,
but so far as we could see there was
no reason for any fuss about the ref
eree Saturday night. He did not call
them as close in the second half as
he did in the first, but he was alb
solntely fair, and the box score shows
that he called four more fouls on the
visiting team than he did on the home
crew.
Jimmie knight played another Of
those Spectacular games which has
stamped him as one of the greatest
basketball players in the country. jim
mic never fought harder in his life
Tor victory than he did against
West Virginia, and 1t was shame that
he was denied the same. He only
made three baskets, but they were
al beauties and his general allaround
work was in class all its own. Mike
Hamilton aiso played brilliant ball at
forward against superior weight on
the opposition. All the Normal boys
played good ball and their showing
was such as to win them new friends
among the great crowd.
Up until within two minutes OF the
end of the first half the Normal lads
were playing the Varsity to stand
still. the count being 11-11 with only
a little over minute to play in the
FIRST period. In the short time re-
naming of the half, West Virginia
managed to cage a couple OF field
goals and the score was 1911. The
Varsity outplayed the locals in the
second half 13 points 10 s and the
game was never in doubt after the
lirst 10 minutes OF. the second period.
This IS only the second instance this
year where the locals have been out
played in the second half. the other
lime being the Bethany game.
For the visitors, Hawkins and Kig-
fr were the big point getters, each
making five field baskets. Morrison

ginia and NJ. Hamilton 8 out of l6
