Leading Question Now at
Georgetown University.
Discussion Over the
Award of "G's."

year anu IS the most logical CdnQlddle,
Ed. Miller. the fast end, who is very
popular with all the students and the
faculty. and Cullen. the little center who
has shown himself the equal of any CEN
ter rush in the middle South. Munhall,
the tackle, also in the college department,
and Harry Devine, as the law school
candidate. have been mentioned. Mum
hall has, however, played on the eleven
but one year. and Devine is already cap
tain OF the track team and may not play
foot ball next season on account of an
injury to his head which bothered him in
his playing all season.
The captain will be nominated and
elected at the regular quarterly meeting
of the athletic association. which will
take place on Sunday, December g. in
CASTOR Hall. Only those men will be
eligible to vote for captain who have re-
ceived the varsity C. which will also
be awarded at this meeting.
Awarding of the &C."
The awarding Of the "G's" is likely to
bring on lively discussion, inasmuch as
only few men have played in all the
games this season. this being due to the
large number of injuries, to Georgetown
men and the appearance of two veterans
for the last few and the big games on
Georgetown Field. In past years a man
who played against Virginia was sure Of
his &c, but not all who played in that
gamo this season will reap the same bene-
fit
Hardly more than thirteen "G's" are
expected to be given, and an effort will
be made from now on in all the depart
ments to keep the number down and thus
make the emblem more worthy to achieve
Capt. butcher. Buckley. Mclaughlin and
Woods have played their last game, but
splendid nucleus FOR next years team re-
mains in Miller, Thompson, Simon and
van Emmon. ends; Todd, MunhaIl and
the Fitzgerald brothers. Ed and Bill,

Inns. guards; Stuart and Lohn, quarter
backs; McNulty, Devine, Mohn. Doonin,
Mulcair and Mess. halfbacks This leaves
only fullback to be developed, and Nun
hall, the tackle. has been used at this
and may be used there another year.
Next Years Coach.
The question of next years coach has
been also somewhat propounded There
is a good deal of talk Of a new coach
for the eleven. DR.. Reilly, it is believed,
will not have the time another season to
spare from his profession to devote
to a foot ball team. The members Of the
present team and the management were
all satisfied with his work during the past
coach In the country could have done
more with team in as poor physical
condition. with as many injuries putting
the star players out of the game for the
greater part of the season. and with
such light team in the first place, es-
pecially in the backfield. as the coach had
to struggle against during the past sea-
son. No one in particular is mentioned
for the new position. and it will remain
for the new manager of foot ball who
will succeed Manapar xx,bnc
term expires at the next meeting of the
association. new assistant manager of
foot ball will also be elected at this meet
ing. Among other things the question Of
sending a crew to Poughkeepsie next
June may be introduced and acted upon.
1t is understood that there is a new move
ment on foot to get more races for the
varsity at home. and considerable opposi-
ton to again competing with the big six
on the Hudson.
A Financial Success.
However Indifferent was the season
from a foot ball standpoint it was dis
tinctly financial success for the ath-
.etic association, which. for the past two
years. has been an incorporated body COM
posed of the student body alone, and
which supports the several branches of
foot ball. base ball. crew, track and
basket ball. When all the expenses of
the ScdSOu are CledTCo lnG dSSOCldllOH
will be some thousands of dollars to the
good and able to successfully carry out
the programs of the other sports for the
rest Of the season.
Athletic Trainer Needed.
One thing above all others which was
shown by the results of the season just
passed Is the need of an athletic trainer
at Georgetown. Pennsylvania has Mike
Murphy, Cornell has Johnny Moakley
Yale has Johnny Mack. and Annapolis
has McMasters. To these men are at
tributed much of the success of these
universities in the different branches Of
sports, and it is believed that If George
town had had a trainer this past season
in foot ball, and other past seasons IN
rowing. the men would nave been IN
much better shape, and could have better
withstood the hard campaigns Of the diff
ferent seasons With the prosperous re-
suits of the season just passed II Is un-
derstood that trainer will be engaged
in the near future to LOOK aIter tne men
not only during the foot ball season, but
for the seasons of base ball, track and
crew.
The most likely man now mentioned FOR
the position is Maurice Joyce, the veteran
gymna SUM instructor and prominent
performer and athlete himself some years
ago. At present Mr.. Joyce Is instructor
in the Georgetown Ryan gymnasium, ana
although he has come in contact with
some of the members of the basket ball
team he has had little to do with the
members of the other teams. but is held
in high regard by all members of the in
stitution, and has proved that he can
train men and keep them in condition, as
was shown by his remarkable success
with the Carroll Institute basket ball
teams before he assumed his duties as
instructor at Georgetown
Wrestling Bouts.
In connection with the indoor exercises
in the Ryan gymnasium the first indoor
sports of the season at Georgetown will
take place the evening of December
IA In the shape Of a series of wrestling
bouts and indoor contests. Gold medals
and second prizes in most Of the events
will bring out large number Of contest
ants, and enable the followers of field
and track to get line on Georgetown's
prospects in that field this coming season.
There are some really good wrestlers at
the local university. and the foul bouts,
which will be held, as will all the events.
according to A. A. u. rules. are expected
to furnish more than ordinary interest.
The feather-weight bout at lis pounds.
lightweight at 100. welter- weight at 145
and heavy middle-weight at $50 will &C
commodate all those contestants who are
