trainer for the Philadelphia
Eagles, today was hired as head
football coach for the Univer-
sity Of Arkansas.
John Barnhill yesterday was
relieved as head coach and
elevated to the post Of director

commended to officials Of the
university this morning by
Barnhill who suggested a salary
OF $4,000 for three years for

accepted Barnhill's recommen-
dation but did not announce
salary figures.
Barnhill also suggested that
his 10-year contract be torn
up because I realize that the
head coach should get a salary
higher than that of the athletic
director"

"A. U. Five Drops Three
In Row, Views Rough
Road 10 Recovery

American University, which had
dreams of going through its entire
basketball schedule and not losing
more than three games, now has
lost three straight in mid-Decem-
Der, and Coach Staff Cassell is
afraid things might go from bad
to worse.
Following last nights 57-49 de-
feat at the hands Of Penn State
at Uline Arena, Cassell dropped by
Manager Bob Fosters Office. and
in passing the time of day re-
marked that his team played
Roanoke Saturday night at A. u,
and he guessed it was time the
Eagles were getting back in their
own league.
Just then the ticker sent over
a score, Roanoke beating Catholic
U. by 81 to 81. and Cassell almost
went down for the count. Now the
Roanoke game will be tough, and
then next Wednesday the Defend
ing Ohio Conference champions,
Ohio Wesleyan, visit the Eagles
gym.
Eagles Shooting Shoddy.
The Eagles brilliant but losing
performance against Georgetown
last week must have taken some
thing out of them that thus far
has been irreplaceable. A. U.
looked bad losing to Davis and
Elkins on Saturday, and last night
against the Nittany Lions they
were not a good basketball team.
American U. had the pathetic
shooting record Of II field goals
in "a shots, compared to Penn
States only fair but still win
ming percentage Of 81 out of "a.
The Eagles played man-for-man
defense against the zone defense
masters and worked the ball IN
for 10 more shots. but they
couldn't buy a basket. From the
foul line A. U. made only Is of 20.
Penn State didn't use the two
platoon system that cost 1t in
losing to Georgetown the previous
night. as Coach Elmer Gross kept
his big men in most of the dis
tance. Marty Costa, at 6-71a and
Jay McMahan and Lee Schisler,
both about 6-6. controlled the
backboards, and what was very
important, when they tapped the
ball back they tapped it into team
mates hands.
Garshag Is Stopped.
Ronnie Garshag, whose hook
shots accounted for "a points
against Georgetown, couldn't take
his favorite position under the
basket, because playing against
the zone he would have a man
in front of him as well as in back.
He made only eight points.
Bob Lamon carried the scoring
load for the Eagles. hitting on
five long set shots. a beautiful lay
up and making five for five in fouls
for II points. Leroy Ishman, who
helped beat Penn State last year
with 20 points. finally made IL but
the game was beyond recall before
he started. In addition to Lamon,
little Jackie Neer and Sherwood
Webster stood out for the Eagles,
Neer by taking the play from Penn
States playmaker. Joe Tocci. and
Webster with some valuable re-
bound work and 8 points in a
reserve role. It was the seasons
best performance for the highly
touted Webster. q newcomer.
Penn State was ahead at 21-9
at one time in the first half but
A. U. pulled to 22-18 at halftime.
But with Costa tossing in II points
and McMahan and Schisler taking
the heart out of the Eagles with
clinch baskets, the Lions were not
seriously threatened. e..
The Eagle frosh nipped previ-
ously unbeaten Tech High. 43-40.

1040 Tax Rate
Is Still Uncertain

Just what the 1919 tax rate for
Garrett county would be could not be
anticipated by any member of the
Board of County Commissioners i'll
session this week.
They were of the opinion however,
that there would be very little diff
ference in the new rate from the one
set last year. There was a flat $500
on each 500 of assessable property
during 1913.
The total budget amounted to
S57S, 544.79 with the largest single
item for education, total of $685.
522. 1t was stated that the roads ap-
preparation of $178,319, second larg-
est item in the county budget, was
not sufficient for the maintenance re-
quirement due to the havoc of
winter weather, and that possibly this
figure would have to be increased in
1919.
The actual rate however, will not
be known until all accounts are
figured in and the assessable basis
determined. Last years basis Was
$22, 440,567.
Other items on the county budget
this past year included the County
Welfare board for assistance to aged
dependent children, etc, was $44, 681;
public welfare institutions, $32, $40;
elections, $1,000; fire departments,
$4,000; debt service, $11,85O; Court
House, $1,000; contingent fund, $16,-
600; and items charged through The
treasurer's office, $22,95O. This latter
figure included discounts allowed tax
payers of $4,000, insolvencies OF
$1,000, postage and equipment, and
salary of $4,000. The salary figure in
cludes clerical help.
