Coach Not Decided.
While a coach for the team is not de-
cided upon. it WIS stated on good au-
thority that Fred Nielsen would not he
in charge Of the men. and that he did
not want the position. Several names
were mentioned. including that of Eddie
Daily, the Dartmouth end, who is well
thought Of by the Hilltop management
1t is an assured fact that Frank Gar
gan. the assistant coach. will again ne
On the Hill. for he did we'll with the
scrubs and helped tho varsity So much
the past season that he will again he in
tCgs. Many have mentioned his name as
the new coach, now that Nielsen will not
take the place. 1t Was learned last night
that Nielsen had said that ne was
through with football. 50 it can he seen
that he is not availabl" to the Blue and
Gray il ne sticks to his statement.
Games with Princeton. Penn. and the
Carlisle Indians will most likely hc played
here next fall. rs the football manage
ment is working overtime trying to ar
range these battles while there is talk
Of bringing Vanderbilt University here
Thanksgiving Day instead Of Lehish.
The season will open September - with
either the Seamen GUnueTS Or tn" Nir-
ilants facing the HiIltopDers, and from
then on tough games VIII be played
on account Of examinations and the
coming holidays. lack or interest has
been shown by the track candidates At
decided by Coach Tom Smith and Capt.
Bill CsrriEan to cut out track work until
after the Christmas holidays.
This movement is a wise one. as il IS
utterly impossible to get all Of the men
nIt until after the coming recess. 1t had
been planned l>y the coach to have the
mon do a little preliminary work during
the next week but after discussing the
matter thoroughly with the captain it
was decided that it would he useless to
10 any real work until after the fellows
mad finished their examinations and had
enjoyed their vacation.
All the fellows who have handed their
names to Capt. Carrigan signifying their
Intentions to become candidates have
hoen notified relative to the decision of
the coach. and they have been warned to
take the very best care of themselves
during the time that they ar" away froI
school. Q the season at the Hilltop will
surely he the most strenuous one that
has ever been attempted by that insti-
tuition. 1t will be remembered that

Hopkins meet at Baltimore last year,
and that this Eear the Blue and Gray
will be represented in the intercollegiate
meet which is held in Mechanics Hall.
Boston.
This is the first time that the HilltOpperS
have been represented al the intcrcole-
giate meet since the days Of Arthur
Duffey. but this year. on account Of the
wealth of material at hand the Blue and (
Gray management have decided to enter
three or four men, realizing that these
men are surely bound to be heard Of.
Elaborate preparations are being plan /
ned by Father Emmett. the faculty head
Of athletics at Georgetown. for the COM
ing banquet which will be held in the
refectOry at 80 tomorrow night. Tho
banquet is an annual affair but this year
II is to be made extraordinary. because |
of the seasons success. 1t is expected !
that few invited guests will he on !
hand. and also every member Of the /
squad who has spent his efforts i'm help |
ing the team to make the good showing |
that it made.
From good authority it was learned /
Yesterday that an alumnus of the school, |
who has been closely following the team |
for several years, has also decided |
to give the team a banquet after the |
christmas holidays. SO that the boys !
are 10 for another good feed. 1t can be |
-cadily seen from this that the alumni !
" the school appreciate extensively the !
