Georgetown 1914 Staff.
LOCAL SPORT COMMENT
BY c. w. SWAN.

Frank Gargan has been offered
the position of head coach of the
Fordham football team, and, un-
less he receives better offer from
Georgetown, will coach the New
York eleven this fall. This state
ment was made yesterday BY one
close in touch with the Hilltop
tutor, and is authentic.
Gargan turned out two teams
which defeated Virginia for
Georgetown, and those victories
made his entire season a success.
1t is understood that the Fordham
offer is a very hattering one, as
the manager OF the team is the
son of ]. J. Lannin, who recently
purchased big block of stock in
the Boston American League club.
Young Lannin will spare no ex-
pense to give Fordham a good
eleven this fall, and for that rea-
son 1t is understood that a big eff
fort will be made to secure Gar
gans signature to contract.
Bud Wyrnard. brother of Skin
Wynard, is captain of the foot
ball team at Fordham, and, as he
IS a close personal friend of Gar
gan, he will make an earnest effort
to get the genial chap to sign up.
The soccer game scheduled for yester-
day between the Baltimore Americans
and the loccl soccer club was not staged

The lnter-City League has failed to set

If Exendine, the Carlisle end. will
agree to d. terms he will coach the
1913 Georgetown football team This was
the statement of Manager O'BoyIe YES
terday afternoon.
We want Exendine, but he has "a

him in the fall, as he aided the team
wonderfully the few days he was here
last year. continued Manager O'BovIe
This Is tire football coaching situation
AT Georgetown in a nutshell Exendina
is the man the Hiltoppers want. and ~
ne cannot agree to Manager O'Royle's
terms, some one else will be considered
Tor the berth. But it was learned YES
terday IRON good authority, that Exen-
dine has written friend in this cItv
that ne would more than likely accent
the terms offered by the Hintoppers.
Exendine has not communicated with
Manager O'Boyle in regard to the con-
tract IN any way. Perhaps he is simply
taking his time and will get in touch
with the Georgetown officials shortly.
Whatever happens. Exendine is the
man the Georgetown authorities want IN
coach the 1914 football club, and II he
does not come to terms Manager O'BoyIe
will have to start work again after an
other coach.
Business High Schools basketball team
looks to be the real thing among the local
scholastic aggregations. The stenog-
raphers have been putting up a clever
game and look to be the best in the
league.
The brand OF basketball displayed by
the Eastern and Western fives Friday
does not augur well for their winning
many games during the league season,
as Business could defeat either of these
teams with ease.
The Army and Navy Prep five is a
rattling good outfit, and that Business
was able to score a victory. playing in
the Prep gym, speaks well for the abil-;
ity of the Rhode Island avenue aggre-
cation.
In Harris and Capt. Boernstein the
Stenographers have two OF the best
guards in the scholastic circles. Both
boys are fast and play an aggressive
game. while both are good shots. II Is
in this respect that the Stenographers
excel The work of the guards has been
the deciding factor in every game played
to date. and II the boys continue to work
hard they will land the championship
with ease
