WHARTON MAY

PENN COACH
PhilIy Hears Reports That
Heisman Will Not Be Tended
Another Contract.
n PHILADELPHIA, Dec. TO-
Charles M. Wharton may re-

/ I1lLADCLfI I1lA, DeC. ~
Charles M. Wharton may re-
turn to the University of
Pennsylvania football coaching
staff next season. Buck" as he
is called by all who are intimately
acquainted with football at Penn,
will in all probability again have
charge of the Red and Blue line,
and there is rumor afloat that he
will be offered the position of head
coach next season.
For twenty-nine years Buck" has
been intimately connected with ath.
letics at Pennsylvania in the role Of
player, coach. scout. and athletic
supervisor. In his time he has pro-
duced some of the greatest lines
men in gridiron history and has de-
veloped scores Of famous players.
Bucks" return to the coaching
staff has been anxiously awaited by
scores of Penn hackers since 1920,
when he retired from the staff.
Together with the rumor that
| Wharton may coach the Pennsyl-
vanla team next season Is another
one stating that John w. Heisman,
coach of the Red and Blue team for
the past three seasons. will not be
rendered another contract.
Heisman has directed the destinies
of the Pennsylvania grid team for
three years now and has failed to
produce a consistent winning team.
For three years the Red and Blue
banner has at times trailed in the
dust of defeat. This season the
team came close to the top but
were beaten by Alabama. Pitts
fburgh. and Cornell.
Penn this season had some Of the
best material in years with which
to form a winning team and still
they were beaten three times. The
men had the fight and the line was
one of the best In the country,
but the team as a whole could not
seem to get together and show con-
sistent offensive power. This Is one
of the main Jobs Of the head coach,
to form a cohesive attack.
John ]. Keogh, the successful in
structor Of the Penn freshman
team. 1t is predicted, would make a
fighting coach for the Red and
Blue team, and is one that will
be considered as Heisman's possible
successor. Jacks career with the
Penn freshmen teams has been
brilliant. But three games have
been lost by his teams in four
years. In 1919 he coached the
champion freshman team of the
East. They won every game, in
Guiding victories over Mercersburg
and Kiski.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Eugene
IN Criqui will be in our midst in
the not distant future, and
the European featherweight title
holder will have the first crack at
the world championship in this
class that has been held SO long and
tenaciously by Johnny Kilbane.
Tom O'Rourke, matchmaker of the
Republic A.C., admitted today that
the international bout was prac-
tically all set, with the scene of
action the Polo Grounds and the
time around the middle OF May
next year. Mr.. O'Rourke, it de-
|velops, has been doing business
out in Cleveland during the last
week, and with such success that
he returned to New York with
Kilbane's signed contract safely
tucker in his inside pocket.
Criqui. il is understood. has also
agreed &c terms and the important
papers with the necessary signature
on the well-known dotted line will
he received by Mr.. O'Rourke within
the course Of a very few days.
All Of which will be sad news to
Tex Rickard. the Garden promoter.
who had everything all set-nearly
for a world featherweight cham
pionship title battle at Madison
Square Garden early in February.
Negotiations between Rickard and
the French title holder have been
on for some time, il is said. and the
Garden promoter had planned tc
present Criqui in two, and possibly
three. matches here.
Kilbane. it is known. has been in
favor of risking his honors against
CriQui. the only thing standing In
the way of the consummation OF
the match being the prohibitive fig
,lres that Mr.. Kilbene has set on hIs
services. Tom O'Rourke has ap
parently named the right figures
and they must be a tidy amount in
coin of the realm.
Criqui's career in the ring ha.
been a most remarkable one. Ir
point of experience il can be saiC
that he has fought almost as man,
battles as kilbane, but II was no

COLLINS AND
KERR MAY COME
WITH YANKEES
Mays, Ward and MeuseI Al
most Sure to Leave, Though
Deals Are Not Yet Confirmed

By THOMAS L. CUMMISKEY.
AJEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Coinci-
~ dent with Manager Miller
- Huggins' arrival in New
York was a verified report that he
had lost his false teeth-upper
tier, the lower being his own-and
as yet unverifed report that Eddie
Collins and possibly Dickie Kerr,
holdout on the White Sox, would
come to the Yankees.
It developed that Huggins,
quizzed about the proposed deal,
was speechless, or nearly so. BY
the time the American League
owners convene in annual meet
ing here Wednesday, however, it
is expected that he will have
either his lost teeth or new ones.
Then something may come out
about the Collins-Kerr deal.
Best rumors on the deal involve
Aaron Ward. second baseman Of
the Yankees; Carl Mays. the sub
marine pitcher; Bob Meusel. out
fielder. and Elmer Smith, substi-
tute outfielder, as probable wearers
Of White Sox socks and uniforms
next season. That is, two, and
possibly three, of them are likely to
figure in the transaction.
The Yankee manager. a victim
of inner strife, to wit. trouble with
several players last season and in
the world SDriaG which h.. Clio n \
/ cleaned up. seems to be empowered
to do quite a lot of building up
and casting away.
MAYS MAKES TROUBLE.
Mays has been a particular trou-
BILE maker. Bob Meusel. despite a
lot of patience on the part Of the
little manager. who has tried to
make him a hall paIyer every day
instead of when the whim moves,
has carried on of his own will Il
great deal.
Ward didn't play the ball he did
in 1921 last season and might vel
come change. Smith has been a
pinch-hitter since coming along in
the Dugan deal from the Red SOx.
Another club might find regular
use for him.
Despite his handicap of missing
teeth. Higgins managed to say
that the Yankees were looking for
an infielder. an outfielder and a
pitcher. His interviewers then put
up the Collins-Kerr rumor and as
he did not deny it, or affirm it, i;
was taken something might happen,
as rumored.
1t is also known that the Yam
KEGS have been considering the
purchase of Mike Gonzales. ex-
Giant from St. Paul. Minnesota
climate seems to agree with Miguel.
With Schang and Hoffman and a
promising newcomer, Bengough, Of
Buffalo. to take care of catching,
the impression exists that Gonzales
would be bought solely to figure in
a trade with a club needing a re-
ceiver. And, of course, having
something to offer.
1t follows. too, that the Collins
Kerr deal probably will not be the
only one. Other clubs owners may
have or may decide to have some
thing to offer. Colonels Rupert
and Huston are paying Colonels, /"
you know. and as they are going to
open their new 1000 capacity Yam
kee park in the spring. they may
open up the cash box again.

for profit, must be kept as keen
as possible, down to the last

DIET is always interesting.
ID You wish to know what
~ the other fellow eats to
remain well.
The six-day riders eat six or
seven times a day. Their stom-
achs digest the food with amaZ-
= ing rapidity. Some of the rid
ers gain weight during a race.
They seem to be the only ath-
letes who can safely partake of
food during competition. The
most dangerous thing a boxer
could do would be to eat just
before a bout. A young boxer
died Immediately after an ap-
pearance in the ring the other
day out West. He had dinner
just before he went in.
A stomach distended with
victuals cannot stand pounding.
The consequence may be a vom-
iting of blood caused by an
eruption of blood vessels.
"OO much food at any time
is bad for athletes seeking
condition. Isaac Bittoon,
one of the early Jewish fight
ers, a good heavyweight, ate so
much he had to quit the game.
He fattened himself up to near
ly 800 pounds.
John J. McGraw once had a
young pitcher of prodigious ap-
petite. He was a promising
prospect, but he packed in such
quantities of food during the
trainin% season he got too fat
to pitch.
Care in WHAT you eat and
HOW you eat is most impor-
tant.

Goullet could not have won alone.
Belloni, who eats spaghetti,
and seems to obtain as much
nourishment as Goullet gets
from meat, sturdily held every
advantage gained by Goullet.

What's New on the Market
By REX STEWART

Butterfat increased one cent per
pound today, the rise being only
local and to equalize the marker
here and in Portland. 1t does not
portend an increase in butter
prices, though there Is slight
shortage of cream. The price now
Is 36 cents.
Some merchants are charging
exorbitant prices for their white
asparagus. The wholesale price Is
| 20 cents pound, while some re-
tailers maintaining price OF 20
cents for half pound bunches. A
fair retail price is 25 cents 9
pound and anything over that
amounts to profiteering.
A shipment Of Newport halibut
ling and black cod were received
today and are retailing at reason
able prices. Over $4,000 pounds
of smelt were consumed by Salen
land vicinity during the las
month.
Eggs look weak, but the pric
