c. v. j. DISCUSSING
FOOTBALL COACH

It has been decided by the author
tiles Of the George Washington Uni
verslty Athletic Association 70 hold
an election simultaneous with the sLec-
ton OF a football manager on January
l3 TO FIJI the vacant position or vice
president OF that body
T. =. Gates was chosen vice president
az the regular election last spring but
owing 20 the fact hat Burr A Beard,
DresidCnt-eIect, decided hot to return 10
school this fan, Gates fell heir 70 MS
Job. leaving the vice presidency open
Because Of the rather unexpected de
termination 10 choose a man at the
present time, no candidates are known
TO be in the field, and IL is probable
that the asplrants VIII not number
more than one or two.
In connection with the coming election
Of football manager Dr. Wilson grad
uats manager Of athletics, stated yes
terday that he would confer with the
new manager immediately after the
election about a coach for the season
of 1908, and that the matter would
probably be decided in the near future.
Fred Nelson, coach OF the 1907 team,
IS prominently considered for the place.
and, though members of the athletic
council refuse to discuss the matter,
there is a decided sentiment in his
favor among the students and alumni
Phil King. who helped TO put on the
finishing touches during the last two
weeks of the season in preparation for
the Georgetown game. is also strongly
supported, though it is not known
whether he would accept the position
for the entire season. There seems "a
be little chance Of the job falling out
side of these two, although It Is prob
able that an assistant Will be named
for either Of them, If secured. The
great difficulty the coaches IN previous
years have had to contend with has
been the lack of time to give individual
attention to the players, and with two
men this would be done away with tc
a great extent.

The Pine Bluff High School basket ball team took the measure of the Jonesboro High School boys at Jones' boro last night and defeated the rep resentatives of Craighead county for the first time they have been beaten this season. It was a championship game and the Pine Bluff boys will come home with the State champion ship scalps hanging in their belts. The score was 90 to 24 in Pine Bluffs favor.
 Information from Jonesboro last night at the close of the contest, which was witnessed by a large crowd Of interested spectators. was to the effect that the game was fast and furi- ous from sart to finish with only a few fouls. Considering that the IonesbOro basket ball stars have beat en everything they have gone against ths year, the victory of the local lads last night makes their hon0rs the more appreciated. It proves the as sertion that the Pine Bluff team is undoubtedly the fastest in the State and that they merit the title of cham pions.
