|MAY RESIGN AS
ATHLETIC HEAD
Report Out That DALEY Will
Not Retain Charge at
Georgetown.
TO QUIT BECAUSE
OF OTHER INTERESTS
Jack Hegarty Mentioned as
Possible Successor to the
PIace-0ther Gossip.
BY 81. C. BYRD.

According to definite report Vincent
Daley will not be in charge of athletics
at Georgetown next year. 1t is said that
Daley, who has been supervisor of ath'
letics since last spring, will resign be
cause of stress of duties in the handling
of other business.
Besides having charge of athletics al
Georgetown. Daley has been doing a
great deal of work in taking care of q
branch Of his fathers produce business
The latter he has found so profitable, il
is reported, that it is his intention to quit
the former and devote all his time to the
further development of the large business
interests.
While nothing official has been done re-
garding the matter. it is fairly certain
that it will take place. and in the nat
ural course of events there will be much
inquiry as to who his successor will be.
There is decided movement on foot to
have Jack Hegarty, this years foot ball
captain, appointed to the place.
1t has been reported in some quarters
that Hegarty stands an excellent chance
to secure the place. Jimmy Walsh.
who was president of the athletic asso-
citation last year, has been approached
and asked If he would accept the place
if it were rendered him, but he stated
it would be impossible. After that the
movement to boost Hegarty for the job
was started. Johnny Langan, now presi-
dent of the athletic association, has also
been mentioned in connection with the
work.
Either Hegarty Or Langan would fill the
position with much credit. although it
is probable the last mentioned would not
care to accept it. Hegarty certainly de-
be given him for his splendid work of
the past three seasons. and also it would
be only an adequate recognition of those
services If Georgetown should bestow
upon him the honor. Hegarty is much
older than the average college student
and would be able to command the re-
spect and attention of his men. 1t is
probable that he is the most gen.
orally liked foot ball player on the squad,
especially among his teammates.
Let the best prepared man in the coun-
try select a foot ball team which, to his
ideas, would be the strongest combination
possible to obtain among all the teams
in the country and yet there could be
picked another eleven which would be
able to play on even terms against it,
and which might win under certain con-
ditions. In other words. it may be fea-
could be gotten together on paper. but
place such a combination on the grid
iron against another selected as a second
aggregation. and it is probable that the
margin would be very slight. and might
not be noticed at all. Especially would
this be true of the linemen, of whom the
substitutes might easily be the stronger.
This selecting of all-star elevens is a
lot on the order of one made by Grant
land Rice last year when he placed all
@ in line 1rk Ill
the giants OF mythology. For instance.
he had Lion. Tiger and Elephant in the
backfeld on one eleven, while on the
other he had Atlas. Prometheus and Her.
cuies. Rice in talking about his selection
said that 1t was true he had not seen
his choices in action, but that he had
watched them play and could tell their
fine points just as we'll as could somebody
in New York imagine the worth of play
ers on some obscure eleven in the far
west. whose real abilities were not even
thought of.
The selection by Walter Camp of his
all-America team seems to be a more
liberal ana capable one than has yet ap.
peared. Mr.. Camp has taken into con-
sideratiOn the universities in the middle
west, while others who have made selec.
tons have recognized only the schools
along the Atlantic seaboard. 1t certainly
would appear that in all the teams which
represent the big western institutions
there would be one or two men who
would be deserving of the honor of a
place on the all-star combination.
The Eastern High and Friends school
basket ball teams will meet this after
noon in the Friends School gymnasium
IT will be the opening of the scholastic
season, there not having been a contest
played as yet between two fves from
the schools.
Gallaudet will probably be represented
by another capable basket ball team this
season. Yesterday it won from the
Western High School quint by d score
which would cause one to believe that
the Kendall GreenerS will come out again
, with one of their most capable squads.
Practically the whole of last years ag-
gregation is back.
The Y. NJ c. A. regular auint won from
the AiOysfus Club last night by decisive
score. The clubmen failed to appear as
strong as was expected, the former star
players on the five being out of cOndi-
ton. The score was % to IL.
Two games are scheduled for tonigh,
in the National Guard gymnasium. One
of the fives from the Y. NJ. c. A. will
the other contest will take place between
two of the companies in the guard.
Hoppe, the Y. NJ c. A. center, showed
last night that he is going to put up the
same brilliant article of ball this year
in the game last winter. His defensive
and offensive play against Mccarthy
who is himself a very clever man. was
of the highest caliber. His work was
exceptional. and. if anything. should be
Of an even higher order in the future.
