The announcement made yesterday OF
the shift Of the two first games on the
Georgetown University foot ball sched-
ule, following the canceling of the con-
test WHICH should have taken place yes
terday afternoon against Eastern Col
lege, was a big qualification to Coach
Nelson, who now will be able to watch
his charges in action against a small
team before bringing them to Raleigh te
tackle the strong A. and M. aggregation.
ington College date was October s. with
A. and M. on the cards for a week from
the coming Wednesday.
Considering the fact that the Carolina
Aggies have been practicing two weeks
longer than the locals, this would give
the southerners. big advantage, as it
would practically mean that Georgetown
would be up against a team in nearly
midseason form. AS 1t is now, plenty of
opportunity will be had during the next
couple of weeks to shape the ,Nlue and
Gray machine into strong fighting de-
vice, while at the same time it will be
possible to see all the men under fire
when they run up against Mike Thomp-
sons husky bunch Of Washington Col
lege youngsters.
Walsh Assistant Manager.
There was also another foot ball
change at Georgetown yesterday, when
Thomas Smith, who was elected to the
assistant managership of the gridiron
department the day before. resigned the
Office, owing to having too many affairs
on his hands. This left a vacancy which
had to be filled without delay, and, &C
cordingiy, hurried meeting of the ath-
letic council was called, and James
Walsh of Waltham, Mass, was chosen
to succeed to the position.
Walsh is at present a sophomore in the
college, having matriculated a year ago,
after completing high school. In high
school he was prominent in basket ball
circles, and last winter was a member
of the Collegian quint at the local school.
AS he is popular among his FELLOWSHIP
dents, and possessed of good business
head, the choice has met with approval
by all of those with whom he will have
to work.
The election of Walsh completes the
quota Of officers in charge of the team
for the present fall, and everything Is
now in readiness at the school to go
ahead with the plans as they have been
previously formulated. In order to
expedite matters and to get in closer
meeting will be held today of the
alumni advisory board. this being the
first time that this body has been
brought together in its official capacity.
Advisory Board Meeting.
Inasmuch as the main business to be
taken up will concern foot ball it is ex-
pected that all the foot ball officers, in
GLIDING Manager Joliat. Coach Nelson
and Capt. Daley, will be called before
the board to give reports. Following
this the whole student executive coun-
ell will most likely be brought in and
a general meeting of the two combined
committees and Father Emmett. faculty
director of athletics, will be in order.
What will be the outcome of the meet
ing Is hard to forecast, but 1t is almost
certain that many matters which have
been attracting considerable attention of
late in connection with Georgetown ath-
letic affairs will be taken up and per-
-manently disposed of. Besides foot ball
matters, basket ball may be touched upon
and IL this proves to be the case the
sport will either be abolished or a new
plan will be made for carrying it on.
At present, Prof. Joyce, the director of
Ryan gymnasium, is endeavoring to have
the control of the sport given over to a
separate athletic association and have
the team entered in the Capital City
League. This will insure at least one
contest a week on q local court, while q
will embrace such teams as the Navy.

The fact that there is a wealth of
good basket ball material on hand will
