SEEK GRAD COACH
Many Want Big Name
To Help Restore
Schools Prestige

PHILADELP HIA, Dec. 2s
G.N.SO.-Alumni OF the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania today were
reported divided in their choice
of a new football mentor as an
aftermath of the sudden but not
entirely unexpected resignation OF
Harvey j. Harman. head Of the
gridiron coaching staff for seven
years.
In the face of a strong sentt
ment in favor of the graduate
coaching system. another group
of the alumni declared Penn needs
"big name" tutor to restore the
Red and Blue to its former pres
tige.
DISASTROUS SEASON
Harman was Penn's first non
graduate head coach since 1887.
During his seven year reign, the
Quakers won 81 games, lost %,
and were tied twice. His reSigna
ton followed a disasterous 1887
campaign which saw the Penn
eleven drop five games, while
winning two and tying one.
On the heels Of Harman'S reSig-
nation, DR.. Thomas S. Gates, pres
ident of the institution, said "an-
nouncement of the coaching ar
rangements for the next football
season will be made shortly by
the university"
Meanwhile, speculation was rife.
Among those prominently men
toned for the post are De Benne-
vile (Bert) Bell, Penn graduate
and backfield coach at his alma
mater from 1920 to 1928: Henry
]. (Heinie) Miller, another Penn
graduate and one-time head coach
at Temple; Hooks Mylin, whose
Lafayette team just completed an
unbeaten and united drive, and
several of Harman's assistants.
The latter are 81 Pauxtis, line
coach; PoSs Miller, backfield
tutor, and George Munger, fresh
man mentor.
PITT GRADUATE
Bell, who was head coach at
Temple before Pop Warner took
over the post in 1888, is now presi-
dent-coach of the Eagles, Philadel-
phia's entry in the National Pro-
Ifessional League, and Heinie Miller
is head coach of football at St.
Joseph's College. Philadelphia.
Following the 1886 season when
Penn won seven while losing only
one game, Harman was given a
three-year contract at a salary
purportedly calling for $500 an
nually. Prior to his appointment
the graduate coaching system was
in vogue at Penn and many in
fluential alumni declare the post
should again go to a former
Quaker.
Harman, a native of New Castle,
Pa, graduate Of Pitt and a
protege of Pop Warner, was foot.
ball coach at Haverford College
and the University of the South,
Sewanee, Tenn, before he took
over at Penn when the "Gates
plan," designed to eliminate over
emphasis on football, was put in
operation.
Despite several clashes with
various other athletic executives
at Penn and frequent attempts
of an alumni group to oust him,
Harman's career at the univer-
Sity was one of the longest in the
institutions football history.

RUSHED
FOR START OF
MEMORIAL

With the site and design Of the
100000 Thomas jefferson me-
mortal selected, Congress today
sped plans for appropriation of
funds to begin construction of a
building of Impressive dignity"
near the Tidal Basin.
Representative John j. Boylan
CD of New York, chairman of the
Thomas jefferson Memorial Com
mission which yesterday reported
its plans, announced today that he
already has applied to the Bureau
of the Budget for $1,500,000 for
the first years work on the me-
mortal.
The $3,00O,000 for construction
of a memorial to the third PreSi-
dent of the United States and
founder of the Democratic party is
authorized in the resolution
creating the commission. This au-
thorization is tantamount to ap-
preparation, and no time will be
lost, Mr.. Boylan said, in obtaining
the funds from Congress.
Opposite White House
In the meantime, the National
Parks Service, which is designated
by the Jefferson commission to
act as its executive agent in con-
nection with construction of the
memorial, will begin making it's
plans for general overhauling of
the Tidal Basin to make way for
the memorial.
The building will be located on
the last of the five cardinal points
of the L'Enfant plan opposite the
White House on the basin. The
other four cardinal points are now
occupied by the Capitol, White
House, Washington Monument
and Lincoln Memorial.
The decision of the commission,
which has been working on the
proposal since the Seventy-third
Congress, now insures that con-
struction of the memorial will be
begun in the near future, Mr..
Boylan said.
Classic Design
With the thought that Jeffer-
son was not only a statesman but
also an architect and scholar with
aesthetic leanings," the memorial
will be of classic design, fashioned
after the Pantheon in Rome and
the Villa Rotunda near Vicenza.
It will be circular, with a dome,
and surrounded by a circular
colonnade.

BILL SPEEDED
FORACCEPTING
MELLON ART

The second step toward accept
ance of the Mellon art collection
valued in excess of $50, 900, 900
was accomplished today when the
Senate Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee voted to re-
port favorably on the bill pro-
viding for the construction and
maintenance of the National Gal
lery of Art.
Earlier in the week the House
Library Committee took favorable
action on a similar bill.
In discussion of the gift from
Andrew w. Mellon, it developed
today that he also has in mind
that it would be an excellent idea
tina national portrait gallery
be built in the Nations Capital.
In addition to the hundred old
masters included in the Mellon
collection is the Clarke collection
of early American portraits. The
finest of these, some Is or 80,
will be housed at least temporari-
ly, in the National Gallery.
Mellon Sends Letter
A letter from Mr.. Mellon read
before the committee today init.
mated that some time in the
future they may form the nucleus
Of collection in a national por-
trait gallery.
Donald D. Shepherd and David
Finley, attorneys for Mr.. Mellon,
explained the gift to the commit
tee and said that the bill under
consideration was satisfactory to
him. A change to clarity the Ian
guage was proposed by Senator
Warren r. Austin (R), of Yer
mont.
The change agreed to by the at
torneys makes it specific that al
though only works of art compar-
able to the high standard of the
Mellon collection may be per-
manently exhibited in the gallery,
other paintings and sculpture
could be shown there temporarily
from time to time. Senator Aus
tin made the suggestion in order
that the gallery would become a
national institution in which
American artists could show their
works at the discretion of the
trustees.
Measure Endorsed
DR.. Charles G. Abbott, secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution,
and Frederick A. Delano, chair
man of the Park and Planning
Commission, led an array of wit
nesses who expressed approval of
the measure.
The only opposition was a let
ter from Alexander Wollcott, who
had said on the radio that he op-
posed the plan. Senator Tom
Connally Cd, of Texas, wired him
to appear before the committee.
In Wollcott style the noted COM
mentator replied by letter that
the notice was too short but that
it would be no loss to anyone be-
cause he had no standing as an
expert on pictures. He did sug-
geSt, however, that the pictures
should be hung one by one in diff
ferent parts of the country in
stead of being kept altogether.
