Georgetown has secured track coach
for the coming season Bradley Gish.
who ran for the Seattle Athletic Club last
year and who has some enviable records
in the various track events, is the man
who has been secured by the Blue and
Gray management to take charge of the
track squad and to prepare 1t for COM
petition in the meets to be entered dur
ing the coming indoor and outdoor sea-
sons.
Gish, running under the colors of the
Seattle Athletic Club, last year ran sec
ond in the Amateur Athletic Union
championships in the 40 and lost out
for first place by only few feet. The
time for the winner was 40 seconds.
Gish began instructing the Georgetown
men yesterday, and from the way in
which he went at his work showed that
he was capable of filling the JOB in an
efficient manner. Teaching the men the
finer points of the game, Gish paid little
or no attention to anything else, and
started his work as though he were going
to have his men know how to run before
he began to give them hard work.
Smith, who has had charge of the
squad until now, has been compelled to
drop the work because of lack of time.
The basket ball team representing
Dickinson College will play here tomor-
ance of any of the near-western quints
on a local floor this year. Georgetown
Will try conclusions with the Carlisle
five.
Dickinson SO far this year has made
rather enviable record. Only one game
has been lost and that was dropped to
team which has shown as good form al
most as any in the country. Swarthmore
Is the only quint that has managed to
get a victory over the five which will
appear here tomorrow evening, and
Swarthmore has won from the Army by
a score of % to IA, and New York Uni
versity by :,:' to II.
After meeting Georgetown here tomor-
row the Dick nson team will journey to
Annapolis, where 1t will stack up against
the Naval Academy.
Both Gallaudet and the Maryland Agri-
cultural College have place on the
Johns Hopkins foot ball schedule for
next fall. While there was some rumor
Just after the close of the past season to
the effect that Georgetown might play
Hopkins this year the schedule of the
Baltimore team does not show the Blue
and Gray university occupying a place
on it, The Maryland Aggies meet the
Hopkins aggregation October l., while
Gallaudet will play the Black and Blue
eleven November 2:'.
The big game on the Hopkins schedule
is the one with ST. Johns, and there
have been some mutterings from the An
napolis school this year against the rule
in vogue at Hopkins which allows men to
play longer time than four years, but
no real trouble between the two institu-
tions regarding a game is anticipated.
Hopkins refused to play Virginia next
fall because of the trouble which arose
over the game last season, and the rules
which Virginia insisted upon being adj
hered to, and which the Baltimoreans
regarded as being unfair
The schedule which the Hopkins team
will play is as follows:
October 5-Navy. at Annapolis.
October 12-Maryland Agricultural Col
lege. at Homewood.
October 19-Franklin and Marshall, at
HomewOod.
October 26-swarthmore. at swarth-
more, Pa.
November Stevens, at Homewood.
November 9-Western Maryland. at
Homewood.
November lest. Johns. at Homewood.
November 23-Gallaudet, at Homework
November % Thanksgiving day)-Vlr-
GINA Military Institute, at Homewood.
The fact that Carlisle tried to schedule
a game with Johns Hopkins for the COM
ing fall to take place October 3, and could
not secure the date because of the fact
that the Navy had already given that
date to Hopkins might be taken to indi-
cate that that will be the time that Glen
Warner will insist on playing Georgetown.
the game with the Indians played later
in the season, but it may not be able to
arrange the matter satisfactorily with the
Indians.
The game last night between the Cath
olice University and Georgetown basket
ball teams appeared to be just what 1t
was-a contest bitterly fought by
two schools between which the rivalry
was exceptionally keen. From the first
each five went at the other as though 1t
was a matter of life and death, and that
was just what it appeared to be at times.
The game was more like the real article
of basket ball than has been seen on
local floor this year. There were times
as to what kind of methods they put into
effect just so they accomplished their
purpose, but in the main the game was
clean for all its roughness During the
greater part of the contest both teams
seemed to accept it as a matter or fact
that they would each play rough, nara
game. and it was but once or twice that
personal enmity was evidenced. Several
of the players on the two teams didn t
appear to be overload of each other,
Int they held themselves in exceptionally
we'll until two of them clasped In low
ing embrace and went to the floor IN that
position, each trying to alter the facial
appearance of the other.
The game on the whole, rightfully be-
longed to Georgetown. It OutpaSSed the
Brooklanders and proved itself the more
accurate in placing the ball in the bas-
ket. Had Cathode University had man
in it's lineup, though, capable of toss
ing goals from foul as well as Schlosser
it would have been a narrow shave for
| the Blue and Gray quint SchlOSser
