Philadelphia, Penn., Feb. 2.—Bob Folwell, who was declared eligible ag a candidate for coach of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania football team ‘Wednesday night, forty-eight hours after Dr. Arthur W. Goodspeed had announced his name would not even be considered, yesterday discussed ternis for. his 1917 contract with ‘Wharton Sivkler, chairman . of the football committee. As the faculty committee on Ath- letics at the university voted Folwell into good standing at a meeting on ‘Wednesday night, it is not likely in reaching an agreement with the foot- ball committee. The latter body is scheduled to convene on some after- noon before next Tuesday to name a coach. Folwell’s ambition has been to coach a winning eleven for Pennsyl- vania, and he made a good starl to- ward realizing this last fall. Before the rupture between ‘Folwell and Penn committee became known on Monday night, -it was published broodcast that Folwcil demanded a contract calling for $8,000 a year be- fore he would return to Penn. Later devilopments proved that therk was As matters now stand, Folwell 1s in a position virtually to indicate his terms, but the clearing of his name was what he sought, and he is satis- fled with the result of the fight. In addition, Folwell will be paid a high- | er figure than he received last year, according to a well founded report. ‘As soon as the football committee de- cides upon Folwell as the 1917 coach, and this seems inevitable now, his name will be submitted to the faculty comumittee.

The action of the governor did not come as a surprise, as he intimated Wednesday he would i send such a message to legislators as a result of the death of Stephen Mec- Donald in a preliminary bout in the German Hall last Tuesday. Before the tesédge was réad Yeha- tor Slater of Westchester introdiced a bill carrying out the recommenda- tions of the governor. The fate of the Slater bill is still problematical. Sen- ator Slater himself is not certain of being able to pass it.' . “If it is decided not to abolish the commission entirely there will be amendments designed at any rate to elevate the boxing gamnie,” said Sena- tor Slater. “The firm attittde of Gov. Whitman indicates, however; that the future of boxing in this sta’e is questionable. Persondlly I fear it is all over.” s RUDOCLPH A HOLD-OUT. Braves Star Slabman is Oppox d to Fraternity Strike.
