GRAY would meet several of the larger in
situations. but nothing of the kind was
seen, and only the schools In the south
appeared on the schedule. the only game
In which team was met OF the cailoeI
of the local aggregation was that In
which the Carlisle Indians appeared.
Just who will have charge of the
coaching policy at Georgetown next year
is problematic. All appear to be at sea
on the hill at present as far as any
thing definite is known or anyway moth
ing that has any look of authenticity
has been Sgven put or heard relative to
the man who will be selected to direct the
foot bali team in 1913. 1t has been said
that Frank Gargan would be in charge,
but whether or not he will is questionable.
He certainly deserves the place. having
worked faithfully under rather trying
conditions. He may also be credited
with great deal of success.
1t is not proba BILE that Vincent Daley
will he in charge next fall and if he is
not there will remain doubt as to what
will be done until the man is finally en-
ga"ed. 1t is very possible that the man
who will take Dai!ey's place will be di-
rectly in charge of foot ball There
have been numerous rumors to the effect
that a football man was to be engaged
as an all-year director of athletics.
Track athletics at Georgetown are final
ly getting into such shape that team
may be sent out with reasonable hope
of making the kind of showing desired
Unless something happens it is probable
that the Blue and Gray Will turn out a
squad this season which Will be able to
make a creditable showing against the
best of the secondary Institutions Until
last year Very little had been done since
the DAYS when the Blue and Gray was
worn by two of the greatest runners in
the world. but then it came about that,
with the addition of an experienced man,
,,erh f..vt.1 L.
capable aggregation. This year more
experienced men will be working. and
these. with the average material, should
compose the most capable squad that
Georgetown has had in long while.
Little trouble should be encountered in
making an excellent showing in meets
in this section, and 1t is probable that
two three will be won. The team that
will be sent to the games in the north
should also do well.
One man on the Georgetown track
squad who should make an exceptional
showing this year. with the coaching he
will get, is Eddie Chapman. Chapman,
while not in the best of condition last
season, did work which classed him with
the best of the middle-dstance runners
| in the south. Even Cooke. who has been
hailed as the best of the middle distance
men around here. could not accomplish
anything against him. In the George
| town-Virginia relay race Cooke started
/ with a lead of at least twelve yards on
/ Chapman, but at the finish the distance
| had been cut down by a third Chap
| man not in his best condition, either
at the time. After the race Cooke said
/ that 1t was the hardest run any man had
| ever given him.
| With Cooke of Virginia contesting
| against Horter and Chapman of George
/ town this year in the middle distance
| races. there are likely to be some SEN
| satonal finishes. Cooke is more ca
pable runner at a thousand yards than
| at a quarter, and at that distance will
| probably furnish spectacular race
| against one of the men mentioned and
| Gallagher.
| II Is said that the intercollegiate bask ct
ball championship this year lies between
! two schools. Columbia and Dartmouth.
| These institutions have the margin on
the others, according to a summing up
of the work of all the quints. 1t is
| rather a coincidence also that both teams
| are built around two men. Meehan and
| Sisson. Meehan is the star forward OF
the Columbia quint. and Sisson plays a
like position at Dartmouth. The latter
led the intercollegiate league last Year
In scoring goals from the field and
| In throwing goals from the foul line.
They are probably two of the most ca
pable men playing the collegiate game
| today.
