So far absolutely nothing regarding the
foot ball coaching system for next fall at
Georgetown has been done. No effort has
been made to secure a man to take
charge of the team. and nothing will be
done to settle the coaching question for
next year until after the middle of Feb
ruary.
The above is the gist Of remarks made
by Supervisor of Athletics Daley when
questioned regarding the policy for the
coming season. Daley said that there
was absolutely no foundation for the
story published few days ago in local
afternoon paper to the effect that Gargan
charge Of the eleven. and that he did not
have the least idea where the writer had
secured the misinformation.
There seems to be great deal Of mis-
understanding regarding the proposed sys-
TEN at Georgetown, anyway. 1t has been
the general belief that Daley, last year
captain. who has been placed in charge
of athletics for the coming year, would
don a suit and take the coaching in hand
himself. both for the individual and team
instruction, but such is evidently not the
present intention. When asked as to just
what he was going to do, Daley said that
while he would be at the head of the
coaches, he did not intend to put on a
suit and appear on the field in that role,
from which it might easily be deduced
that IL is not his intention to take an
active part in the work.
Judging from the above, it would be the
natural Inference that the idea at present
in to obtain some man to take charge OF
the team on the field and direct Its sys-
tenn OF play. II this is to be donenit is
very questionable as to who VIII be
secured to take the place.
An item has been published in a north
ern paper to the effect that DALEY, who
played left end for Dartmouth last sea-
son. would coach the Blue and Gray ag-
gregation this year, and, judging from
the fact that the Dartmouth man is a
great friend of Capt. Hegarty. there is
some reason to suppose that there might
be something in the article.
Just at present there does not appear
to be anything definite as to just what
is to be done. but there Is a mighty big
chance that when the final disposition
Is made regarding the coaching system
there will be surprise which will upset
some calculations.
Carroll Institute lost to the Cardinal
Athletic Club of Alexandria last night
the City Basket Ball League. the Cardi-
nal club taking the lead. The Carroll
team failed to get going in the first half,
and did not show near the form that it
did in the second period, when it played
its rival to an equal score.
The race in the City Basket Ball League
is so close that the loss Of g. single game
means the loss of the position that a
team occupies. Carroll Institute, Car
dinal A. c. and the Young Mems Chris
tian Association are the leaders in the
race, and each is playing fairly con-
sistently.
The Catholic University basket ball
team will have a strenuous time for the
next few days. The BroOkland five is
scheduled to play three games in the next
four days.
This afternoon the quint will go to An
napolis to meet the St. Johns College
team Of that place. Friday night it will
play the University Of Virginia, while
Saturday the Loyola College five will be
the opposing team. II the Brooklahders
get away with two victories out Of the
three they can be considered as having
accomplished Just az much or more than
could be expected OF them
The fact that Georgetown and Catholic
University meet the University Of Vir-
ginia Quint on successive nights should
give q fair line on the chances OF the two
day. The showing OF the Catholic Uni
versity quint, so far. has led the fol-
lowers Of the team to believe that It has
equal chance to win, and the turnout for
the game will probably be the largest OF
the year. On past performances there
