SIGNS
To COACH NAVY
FOR TWO YEARS
Both Parties Are Entirely Agreed
Upon Terms for Football,
Says Report.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 24.-The
athletic officials Of the Naval Acad-
envy have contracted with Bob Fol-
well to act as head coach Of the
Academy football team for n period
covering the two coming seasons. 1t
is stated that the terms were en-
tirely agreeable to both parties.
Folwell succeeded Gilmour Dobie
as head coach at the Naval Academy
when the latter went to Cornell
prior to the season Of 1920. During
both years in which Folwell has been
in charge, the Midshipmen have &C
complished the chief objective Of
their efforts by defeating the Cadets
of the Military Academy.
This year the Naval Academy had,
according to general belief, the best
team in its history, and next season
is awaited confidently.
Folwell has the confidence Of play
ers and officials at the Academy.
Folwell, a University Of Pennsyl-
vania product, coached at Washing
ton and jefferson, Pennsy and for
short time at Johns Hopkins.
Unlike Dobie he is not known as
driver, but has made himself popu-
lar with Navy adherents by his
ability to get the most out Of his
players.
Folwell presented a better coached
team than Army in the annual setto,
and the work Of the Navy lines in
the last two years has been Of the
highest order.
1t is not known here whether
Major Daily will again coach the
West Point eleven.

CARSON BICBEE'S JOB
. SAFE WITH PITTSBURGH

Manager George Gibson, of the
Pirates, thinks a lot about Bill Tray
nor, his young infielder, and will not
include him In any deal that may come
up with another club. Another player
who will not be traded by the Pirates
is Carson Bigbee, the outfielder.
Bigbee has signed his 1922 contract
and is waiting for the time to start for
the spring training camp to roll
around.
"Bigbee is one man 1 never have
any trouble WITH said President
Dreyfuss, of the Pirates, recently.
HE is always giving his best to the
club, and he is treated accordingly"
Manager Gibson also thinks highly
Of the great outfielder, who is very
popular with the Pirate fans.

NEALE assure
PRES|DENTSW|LL
BEAT CALIFORNIA
Washington and jefferson Tutor
Confides Attitude to Friends
Before Leaving.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 24.-On
the eve Of the departure Of the w. and
j. football team for the Pacific coast
to meet the California eleven on Janu-
airy 2, Coach Neale, of the Presidents,
quietly informed his friends here that
he believed his team would win. He
expressed himself as well satisfied that
California seems SO confident OF the
result.
"Our team will stand on its merits
as a winning aggregation" he said.
IT quite agree with Foster Sanford.
the Rutgers coach, that any team that
can beat Detroit by two touchdowns
will make an interesting game for
California. There is the one element
of uncertainty about the condition OF
our players, due to the long trip and
the change in climate, but ! believe my
men will be In shape, and IL they are,
I think they can win"
w. and Us team had holiday from
practice Friday afternoon. A driz-
zling rain fell throughout the after
noon and, inasmuch as the suits We're
packed, Neale dismissed the men
after they had assembled at the club
house and confined his instructive ef-
forts to a blackboard session. The
men will now get no more work until
next Monday at Kansas City, where
arrangements have been made to prac-
tice.
The Red and Black players left here
this morning at s o'clock in good physi-
cal condition. Thus far no evidence
Of staleness has been seen and every
man on the squad seems to be in the
proper mental attitude, confident of
his ability to show the West something
new in football.
BERKELEY, Cal. Dec. 24.-Uniyer-
sity of CALIFORNIA; football team left
here today for Pasadena, Cal. where
1t will meet the Washington and JEFF
ferson College eleven January 2.
Coach Andy Smith, who recently re-
turned from the East. expects his team
will have a harder fight in the coming
game than it did when 1t defeated Ohio
State University, big ten champion,
at Pasadena last New Year Day.

TWO SETS OF PLAYERS
FOR MACKMEN'S INFlELD

Connie mack is planning to look
at two sets of infielders before the
1922 campaign gets under way.
At first base he'll have BRAZIL and
Hauser, who was with Milwaukee
last season. Dykes and Scheer, q
youngster from Hartford in the East
ern Association last season, will per-
form at second.
At short he'll have Barrett and
Galloway, who looked good there at
the close of last season, while over at
third will be Chick" Galloway and
Joe Dugan working hard.
Here's the probable infield lineup
for the opening game: Hauser, first
base; Dykes. second; Galloway, short
stop; Galloway, third base, unless
Dugan happens to be with the team.

PROM0TERS0F
PRO FOOTBALL
GET ROASTING
Colleges Claim They Tempt
Young Men to Lose Their
Amateur Standings.

A fragrant example Of the menace
of professional football is seen in the
suspension Of three members Of the
Notre Dame eleven who played in
professional games after the close of
the college season. When the Amer
lean Professional Football League was
organized a rule on ethics was adopted
providing that "tampering with play
ers on college elevens shall not be
tolerated by this association" writes
Harry Cross, in the New York Eve
ming Post.
The Notre Dame case is a direct
demand is being made for the Danish
ment of the team which was re-
sponsible for tempting the college
players with money.
The Notre Dame case Is not the
only one where the professionals have
suddenly ended the career Of promis-
ing amateurs. There have been sew
eral instances of late years where
promising players have suddenly
dropped out of sight. In more than
one of these cases professional foot
ball has been the cause.
The INSCRIPTIONS manager, realiZ-
ing the Nalue OF the prominent COle8e
player, tempts him with money.
Many students working their way
through school, and finding the going
little rough, are sorely disturbed In
mind when they receive offers Of this
kind The temptation Is great.
The professional gridiron game
would not come in for much criticism
IL the promoters recruited their play
ers from those who have finished
their college careers. The danger
isn't in the game itself; 1t is in the
INSCRIPTIONS manager.
The Notre Dame case has aroused
many of the coaches In the Middle
West, and a movement 10 now under
way to discourage the professional
game. The coach usually has much
influence with his players, and this
influence will be directed against the
practice of players continuing their
gridiron activities after they are
graduated.
The methods of the professional
promoters during the past few sea.
sons have been alarming, and coaches
have had a difficult task In keeping
their players free from the profess
sional faint.

IL Is unueTBtOOu tndI next summer
two other British professionals, with
Ing card of the team. will try their
luck on the American links. This
winter Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchi.
son, holders of the American and
British open titles, are going to the
coast for an exhibition trip. While
Barnes and Hutchinson are represent
atives of American golf. neither is a
native born son.
Hundreds Suffer.
So in all the "mopping up" that has
been done and is on the books for
future business, not a single Amer
lean homebred golfer has benefited.
This seems hardly just to the many
fine golfers who were born on this
side of the Atlantic, learned their
game here and have always played
here. 1t seems reasonable to expect
that a pair of American homebreds
could do a little successful barn
storming.
And the crux of the matter is that
some Of them are giving this mat
ter serious consideratiCSl. Foremost
of all American homebred golf pro-
fessionals is Walter Hagen. twice
American open champion and one of
the best-natured and best-liked men
in the game. 1.-THE Hage," as he Is
termed, used to get the goats" Of
other professionals a few years ago
because he wore such n great va
riety of flashy clothes and appeared
in a tuxedo at winter golfing re-
sorts.
Hagen Popular.
TO
from British professionals the first
year he went over to play in the
British open, but last year at St.
Andrews he was as popular as any
man there. He even won the hearts
of the Old School Scotch profession.
ais when he took some of them into
his room, opened his trunks and told
them to help themselves to his out
fits.
And they know he can play the
game. When George Duncan ar
rived in England after completing
his American tour he told golf
ball manufacturer who has since re-
turned to this country that Hagen
is the best of the lot in the States"
Hagen is thinking Of going on
tour, and this summer will un-
doubtedly see him on the road. He
plans to play in the British open at
Sandwich and return Immediately to
the United States. He may tour
some this winter.
Holds Many Titles.
Considering the number of titles
he has won and the fact that he is
Americas foremost homebred pro.
fessional, and has been for number
of years, Hagen has played in few
exhibitions.
The first time he went to Great
Britain to play in the British open
at Deal he got just one exhibition
match there. although he was at the
time the American open champion.
About the only exhibitions he has
had in America were those in which
he was asked to be one of pair to
play against either Vardon and Ray
or Duncan and Mitchell.
Tommy Kerrigan, who finished so
we'll up in the British open last sum-
mer; Mike Brady and Leo Diegle are
among the leading native-born pro-
fessionals who have never done much
In the exhibition line.
