4 final disposition has been made re-
Earding the coaching policy in foot pal
at Georgetown this wear Frank Gar
gan will have entire charge OF the
squad on the field. Wayne Hart VIII be
his assistant. and pr. Larkin will act In
an advisory capacity. This clears up
definitely the many conflicting state
ments made since the close of school last
spring relative to the coaching policy on
the hilltop.
Frank Gargan began coaching at
Georgetown two years ago under Fred
Nielsen. while Wayne Hart played on
the eleven under these two men Under
these conditions there should not be many
conflicts in the general ideas of the head
field coach and his assistant DIR. Lar
kin. while he viii not devote his time to
coaching Viii be appealed to upon I'M
certain matters and act in an advisory
capacity generally.
WAYNE Hart has been made assistant
coach at Georgetown this year for but
one purpose. and when that purpose is
known it will be somewhat of a surprise.
The fact is. il is the intention of those in
charge of athletics at Georgetown to in
still certain ideas into Hart this year and
then to make him head coach next fall
1t is urged that Hart has every qualifica-
ton TO make a foot ball coach and he

order that he may learn the system which
Georgetown desires permanently. Next
fall. providing ne proves an apt pupil, as
il is fairly certain he will, Hart will be
rendered a contract to act as head field
coach. And Hart should prove a very
capable assistant during the season APP
Eroaching, especially in handling the
ucyfy no nf Il
les ever developed in the south. perhaps
the best. and he should be able to impart
some of his knowledge to the men under
him. 1t must not be expected. though,
that Hart can develop linemen as capable
"a he himself was for there are few men
who possess his wonderful mechanical
ability.
Four local boys have made good in pro-
fessional ball during the present season.
Chick Davis, Buck Barton. Dutch
Munich and King Brady are the lads who
went out to take chance in professional
ranks last spring and made good. Each
of the quartet has done some brilliant
work.
Davis started the season in the In
terstate League, but was traded to a
club in the Central League. Things went
badly for him out there, and he found
his way to the Richmond club of the
Virginia state circuit Since he joined
Richmond. Davis has been playing an
article of ball above the average OF that
usually seen in the circuit. He has hit
well and fielded capably Munich and
Barton began their professional career
with big league club in the spring
training camp. Clark Griffith gave them
a chance with the Nationals. and both
have done well with the teams to
which they were farmed that they are
TO be given another opportunity in the
majors. King Brady started out during
the early part of the spring to pitch for
an Indian nine, but he joined club IN
the Michigan League, and 1t is reported
has been bought by one of the big league
organizations.
That these men have taken a chance
and made 1t tell will undoubtedly be an
incentive for others to go out next
cessful careers on the diamond. Certain
it is that from as many leagues as are
playing ball in the District several play
ers should go forth each year capable
of holding their own in the smaller pro-
fessional circuits.
Arrangements are being made for a
series of games TO be played between
the American Security and Trust Com
pany and team of All-Stars. the latter
to be made up of the minor league play
ers who make their homes in this city.
Such a series should be interesting. and
would certainly prove just the KIND OF
practice the Bankers would want to get
in shape for the final games in the in
tercity matches.
The Nebraska Indians will play this
afternoon This is what is generally re-
garded as the strongest nine of the kind
touring the country. 1t nearly always
has a clever bunch of aborigines. with
just enough white talent to keep the

Jigiants in a double header.
II is reported that three former local
high school boys will enter the Mary
land Agricultural College this year. Der
rick, who captained the base ball team
at Business last spring and who played
fullback on the foot ball eleven. and
Montgomery and Doleman who played
foot ball and base ball at Technical, are
the men who will natriculate as stu
dents soon school opens. While
these boys may not become wonders in
athletics during the coming scholastic
year, there is not much doubt that they
will develop into worthy performers by
the fall OF 1914 All weigh more than
10 pounds and two are over six feet
In height.
The rumor. which. for some reason or
other. has gotten around to the effect
that the Bankers might not go to Rich

more or less ridiculous While it is a
