George Washington football enthusiasts
and members Of last seasons champion
ship team VIII be pleased to hear that the
question OF who win coach the eleven
next fall has been practically settled
Fred K. Nelson is the man. and now it's
up 10 the student body to give three
hearty cheers.
Nelson's chances for coaching the
Hatchetites again looked mighty slim late
last night. as he had practically made Up
his mind TO leave Washington for the far
West His acting as coach depended en-
tirely on whether or not he remained in
the Capital He said last night that he
had decided 10 stay, and during his con-
versatiOn discussed possible plans for
next fsH, some Of the new material in
sight, and how many Of last year s aggre-
cation would likely be On deck
Nelson's work last fall attracted a

There is stiIl a possibility that George
Washington may by next fan have an
athletic field OF its own. but this Will not
be known definitely untH the trustees OF
the university meet again for the pur-
pose Of discussing certain changes pro-
posed in the management Of the institu-

There IS a crying need for an athletic
