MS deep regret that Major Vardaman
mad refused, and without assigning any
reason, his courteous but earnest invi-

he said:
Neither Governor Vardaman nor his
friends can give a single valid and suf-
ncient reason for not meeting me in

HEGARTyS MESSAGE
IS MUCH DISCUSSED
BY H|L[T0PPERS
Those in Authority Are Sur
prised at Captains
Word.

A telegram from Capt Jack Hegarty
saying that the change in football
coaching plans came as a surprise to
him, and that he thinks he should have
had more to say before the policy
was altered, Is today the principal topic
of discussion among those closest to
Georgetown football affairs.
Tie telegram, dated Newburyport.
Mass, where the captain is spending
the holidays at his home. says:
Glad to hear of DALEY being chosen
graduate manager. but / have nothing
to say In regard to him being chosen
head coach. Rather surprise to me,
us l expected that would have a great
deal to say In regard to- the coaching
OF my team. JACK HEGARFY."
Those in authority on the Heights are
surprised at the telegram as they feel
that there is some sort Of misunder-
standing. The undergraduates ard man.
ager are scattering to their homes for
the holidays, and until after New Year
there is little likelihood OF anything Of
ficial being done In the matter.
One of the results of the discussion
will probably be that the executive ccm-
mittee will be called upon to define lr:
exact terms the exact power Of the
captain In his relations with the head
and assistant coaches.
At a meeting of the Athletic Associa-
lion yesterday. Barrett. who halls from
New York. was chosen assistant man.
ager of the eleven for next fall. and
Assistant Manager Loichot moved UP to
a regular manager.
James Walsh. the retiring manager.
whose excellent handling of the busi-
ness side OF the football team during
the season Just closed. earned universal
praise. read his report yesterday. II
showed that from financial stand
point, the season was one of the most
successful In the history OF the uni
verslty, and the association is now in
possession of a rather healthy fund.
