pairing for next falls campaign, when the
Aggies expect to clean UP all the southern
colleges on the gridiron. At present he
and Capt Bray are trying to select a
coach, and on account of the number Of
good ones who want to take charge, they
are having q hard time deciding the ques-
ton. For the past two seasons there has
been a great bunch OF material At the
school. and In that time they have only
will be better than ever. and every pre-
caution Is being taken in order to get the
best man possible over the men.
The men mostly under consideration at
present are: Whitehurst. Newman and
Brown. The first mentioned has been in
charge ever since 1906 and has been un-
usually successful. but he Is not over
anxious to come back again next season,
as he wishes to practice medicine In
Baltimore. With him eliminated the
choice lies between Newman and Brown.
Newman did great work at Georgetown
last fall under severe handicaps. being all
alone in the training and having but little
material. Notwithstanding these disad-
vantages, he got together a light but fast
eleven and their work here during fair
week greatly impressed the local Atudents.

the ex-Cornellian to come back there. but
Manager McLendon still has hopes OF
landing him In Raleigh. where he will not

try where it is practically new.

others under consideration. but not much
will be done until definite answer Is
received from Newman.
or last years eleven all will be on
hand again next year except three. of
whom one Is Stevens. This fast little
quarterback made great record for
himself while at college, and his posi-
ton will be hard to fill. A number OF this

and II it proves AZ big Q success this
season the event will probably be made
an annual affair. As usual. Wake Forest
