By Innis Brown.
Y TAHOO has signed.

wv No kidding this time. The
trick has been turned and the
Big Chief has already decorated a
parchment the main purport of
which is to assure that, beginning
March 1, he will devote his efforts
to turning out winners on the dia-
mond and gridiron for the Red and
Black squad, of Athens.
According to the terms of the
agreement, he goes to help take
charge of the baseball candidates
March /, as stated above. However.
his real contract does not become
effective until September l. to run
for two years, a special arrange
ment having been made for base
ball work the coming season.
Since the announcement that ne
gotiations were pending was made
several days ago, speculation has
run wild among football enthusiasts
in this section generally, and more
particularly among Georgia alumni.
For this reason, the announce
ment that all details have been
completed will no doubt be enthu-
siastically received.
Wahoo Should Succeed.
The eX-Carlisle star will take up
this work with every indication
that success will attend his efforts.
While he has never held down
job as head coach of a football
team, he has served in ap advisory
capacity for a number of teams,
and in many cases enViable records
hung NO by teams in this section
have been due, in a considerable
measure, to his help in this respect.
Further than that, he has played
football under some of the best in
structors in the game. His early
training was received at the hands
of Al Hernstein, a Michigan star
halfbacll of the early Yost regime,
when the Wolverines were the ter
rors of the gridiron. This was dur
ing the years Wahoo spent at the
Haskell Indian school Later he
went to Carlisle and played under
Glen Warner. Numerous experts
are prepared to make and defend
the statement that Warner is one
of the very best to be found.
SO much for his opportunities to
learn the game. In addition to this,
he has all the requirements that go
to make up a successful coach, so
far as can be predicted before
hand.
He's Some Dscipinarian.
1t is an accepted fact that dis
cipline is one of the strongest es-
sentials in developing a winning
combination among college ath-
letos. This Wahoo may be counted
ON to maintain. Those who have
watched him otticiate in a football
or basket bah game can Vouch for
the fact that little byplay is al
lowed When he has matters in
charge. And the player who dares
to take the liberty of pulling off
anything funny under him is sure
to be i'm an elegant position in short
time thereafter to add his apprecia-
ton to the foregoing.
Furthermore, Wahoo believes
firmly that a football team or any
other organization win realize re
suits in proportion to the efforts
tina, are eXerted to attain success.
Which means nothing more nor
less than that the young athletes
who trot out on Sanford field for
either football or baseball practice
may understand IN advance that no
picnic nor pink tea will be included
on the schedule Cor the afternoon.
From the foregoing It would ap-
pear that Wahoo has all that should
be required in the way OF knoWl-
edge of the game, Ideas Of dls,i-
plur and theories as to the amount
of application needed 90 travel the
high road 90 success. ltromaius Co
