Fred Nielsen, former coach Of the
Maryland Aggies, George Washing
ton, Georgetown, and Catholic UNI
versity, the man who put football
on the map here at these institu-
tions, will be sought by George
Washington to coach the gridiron
team at the downtown school next
fall now that the sport will be re-
sumed.
The decision Of the president's
council TO allow football to be re-
sumed at George Washington after
q six-year layoff brings to light the
fact that Nielsen is the desired man
for the Hatchetites. Nielsen has not
renewed his contract at Catholic
University according to reports and
pressure will be brought to bear in
trying to land him at G. w. U.
Those in charge OF athletics at
George Washington say they will
make every effort to get Nelson's
name on a contract provided he has
not made arrangements with Catholic
University. Prof. Leslie Cleveland
McNemar. OF George Washington Uni
versity. whose untiring efforts have
landed the gridiron sport for the
George Washington University mon.
is the man of the hour today.
Prof. McNemar says he will go after
Nielsen. as no Is unquestionably the
inan to develop team for the Hitch
cities. The popular George Washing
ton University man declares that with
Nielsen in charge things will boom
In a football way for the Hatchet-
ties.
West Virginia Wesleyan. the Unit
versity OF West Virginia. Gettysburg
College. Randolph Macon. and other
colleges have already written for
games. An effort will be made to
land contests with Gallaudet. the
Maryland AgRies, Catholic Univer-
sity. and Georgetown. As the Hill
toppers have yet to fill their Thanks
giving Day date. George Washington
may ask for this engagement.

Business has lost Culligan. and will
have ''Toots" Wise In his place. Bill
Macdonald may replace Karl wass-

win. ST. Adams will try out a mum.
Der Of youngsters as will Western.
= II Il doubtful II any of the teams In
the circuit can show greater strength
right now than the Army and Navy

teams has been able to make shows
conclusively that the Props are getting
better all the time. which cannot be
said Of any other team save Eastern
