The complete schedule Of the George

yesterday for the first time By Manager
II. Clay Willis. of that institution.
Forecasts have beer published from
time 20 time by the local papers. con-
tanning the games scheduled up 70 that
time. but the final touches Were not put
on until the past week. The schedule.
as IL now stands. is by far the most pre-
IeHtious the Buff and Blue institution
has ever had and does the huslling man
agement great credit With the help
OF Assistant Manager Gonzalez and
Carter everything has been successfully
arranged. and indications point 10 the
greatest season in every way that the
local university has ever experienced
Improvements at Park.
Van Ness Park. where the home games

Catholic University and Georgetown
games wll be especially interesting to
the fans Of the city. 4 series Of three
games viii be played with Georgetown
according TO the plan inaugurated last
season.
After First Glass Coach.
The greatest need that the team felt
last season was that of an efficient
coach. Jim Sprigman had been engaged.
but for some reason was not able ID take
the position, so at the last moment the
squad was left in the lurch. Weber
oficiated in this capacity to the best Of
his ability. but naturally was not able TO
render the services that an experienced
coach could have done. So far this sea-
son no provision has been made but
the management is negotiating for
competent man.
Early in the year it was thought that
Charley Hickman, who was studying in
the dental school. would make an excel
lent man for the position, but since the
establishment Of the Hickman-White
sporting goods store in this city. he has
been forced TO give up his studying. and
devote most of his time TO its manage
ment. ana there is considerable doubt
Of his being able to take the position.
especially In view of the Nationals plan
