COACHES ARE YET
To Be SELECTED
Two of Local Schools Have
Made No Choices for
Next Year.
SITUATION DOUBTFUL
AT BOTH c. u. AND G. u.
System at Maryland AgricuIt-
uraI College and Ga|Iaudet
Will Be Unchanged.
BY n. C. BYRD.

Two of the local colleges have yet to
select foot ball coaches for next fall.
While the system to be in vogue at Gal
laudet and the Maryland Agricultural
College is known, practically nothing is
definite as to what will be done al
Georgetown and Catholic University.
Up at Georgetown, the most promi-
nent of the coaching positions, little
along definite lines has been done as re-
CARDS a. tutor for next years eleven
There have been rumors of changes In
both the policy and administration, but
no real announcement has as yet been
made as to what course will be pursued
1t has been stated on several occasions
that Charley Cox would take charge OF
athletics next fall as athletic director and
also would be head coach Of the foot
ball eleven, taking direct charge of the
work on the field. Whether or not that
will be done remains to be seen. as the
story has not been affirmed nor denied by
any OF the parties involved. Other ru-
mors have had it that the present pow
ers would retain direction of affairs, but
that new coaching policy on the field
would be instituted
AT present there appears to be a gen.
G. al ItSdTOS IOOt Dall affairs
at Georgetown. 1t is no secret, though
that there Is and has been general dis
satisfaction with the work of the clever
last fall. Notwithstanding its record, and
1t seems certain that some kind oil
change will be made When that change
will be is a question which will rot bt
answered until after or e short time be-
fore it has been made
Also, according to definite statement
there will be Change in the policy. al
Catholic University. 1t is said that Me
Dewitt. who had charge of the work lasr
fall, is not satisfied with conditions ant
will not return to take charge next Sep
TENDER. Who will take his place is moi
known. No real efforts have as yet beer
made toward securing man. and it i:
probable that nothing will be done alone
that line until later in the year.
Gallaudet will have Fritz Crafts in
charge of its eleven again. Crafts die
some excellent work with the team durine
the last season, and he will almost surel,
be the one to shape affairs in 1913 The
same system used last fall at the Mary
land Agricultural College will also be tn,
one under which next years team will b,
developed.
1t is understood that, in event rea
changes are made. both Georgetown and
Catholic University will secure northern
men to take charge. There is MAJ
in the south considered at Georgetown
but whether or not he will be secured Is
doubtful. Also there has been some tall
of having John Greer coach at Catholic
University.
There will be big day in athletics a
the Y. NJ. c. A. tomorrow. There will bt
a program of aquatic events, gym
nasium drill and two basket ball games
The aquatic events will be the only one:
to which an admission will be charged, i
being desired to secure money enough t
paint the tank.
Besides an exhibition Of life saving, tn,
following program will be rendered by
the swimmers:

Miller. knight. Eliason and Burch: mar
ried mems team, Bamman. Rutherford

The two basket ball games will b
played between teams from the Y. NJ. G
A. League and picked five and a qun
from Fort Myer.
Several changes are being contemplated
in the rules which govern track and field
sports in the United States. At presen
there are four different sets of rule
which are adhered to. and it is desired I,
make them more uniform. While they d,
not differ largely, there are certain points
in which they are unlike which it is de
sired be eliminated. The majority o
meets. of course. are run under amateur
athletic union rules, but there are tire,
college associations which have their in
dividual codes:
In discussing the proposed changes
prominent college official had the follow
ing to say:
THE differences in the rules are no,
elemental. and the changes that would
have to be made are not radical. The
greatest differences are in the hurdles
broad jump and other field rules. There
starting and finishing. The amateur Ath-
letic Union and the /. c. A. AS require
the same kind Of hurdles and permit tn,
men to knock down only without dis.
qualification. On the other hand, by the
rules of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association and the New England Asso.
citation. the hurdles can be lightly con
structed and the number left standing
varies. In the broad jump the take-ofi
in the rules of the first named organiza-
tons differs from that required by other
sets on the take-off. Also the rules of the
National Collegiate Association allow a
man only two trials in field events
while the other sets give man three
chances
Gallaudet should be able to develop a
much more powerful eleven next fall
than it has in long while. Every man
who played on the team which repre-
scented the school during the past sea-
son will be back, and with the added eX-
perience there should be a squad equal
to that Of any of the minor colleges. Ii
will be veteran aggregation. which
will greet Coach Crafts when he takes
charge Of the men next fall.
