1t WI be hard matter to discriminate
in the selection of men for their first for
nation next week, as all have started out
on practically the same footing, without
special previous experience. Most of the
men seem to be able to play one position as

several days to ascertain for what places
they have the most aptitude. The new can

Question of a Coach.
The matter of securing q coach is pend
ing arrangement, and until one is engag d
Capt. Charles A. Long. 1901, of the Law
School, who halls from Honolulu. Hawaii,
will have entire charge of the team. Upon
the resignation of Capt John T. Casey,
so, of Massachusetts,, Georgetowns cap
tain and mainStay on the team last year,
who was unanimously reelected to the cap
taincy in the hope that he would attend
the graduate school this year, Long was
decide upon as his successor and prom
iseS to make a most able and efficient
leader. He has had considerable eXper ence
both in Hawaii and at Santa Clara College,
California, under the instruction of Yale
coachers. He is hard worker himself,
uses good judgment and will get the be st
efforts out of all his men, that he is
bOund to make a success of his position.
Three former University of Pennsylvania
players being considered to coach the
team, any one of whom would be eutir, ly
satisfactory. They are DR.. b. Wilkesbarre,
DIR. Boal and BY Dickson. 1t is thought
the last named will be engaged, and that
negotiations will be compile ed by>the be-
ginning of next week.
