w. g. Morris, familiarly known to
local followers Of sports as Country"
will be assistant coach in foot ball at
Clemson College this fall, and have di-
rect charge of tho coaching in basket
ball and base ball. Morris was offered
the place several days ago, but delayed
acceptance because he was not sure he
could get somebody to take his place
at Gallaudet. After a conference with
Gallaudet's manager yesterday an
agreement was reached whereby Morris
was released from his contract on the
provision than another coach be OBJ
tained. It is probable that Louis
Whiting. former end at George Wash
ington, will take charge at Randall
Green. Whiting did some coaching out
west, working a while under Dobie.
Morris should be able to do good
work at Clemson. He started his career
in athletics at Technical High, where
ne was star in base ball and foot ball
He entered Maryland State College from
Tech and also proved a brilliant foot
ball and base ball player in collegiate
ranks. Morris Is to coach foot ball as
an assistant under Wayne Hart, former
technical High, George Washington and
Georgetown tackle He Is to coach
basket ball and base ball himself.
The Maryland State College squad
Will come in town tomorrow afternoon
for scrimmage with Georgetown.
This is the first of a series of such
meetings arranged between the two in
stitutions. The work should benefit
both squads.
Hills. former Oberlin College full
back. reported yesterday at George
Washington for his first practice with
the Hatchetites. There is no doubt that
BILE value to the local institution. He
played some brilliant foot ball for
Oberlin and was ranked as one of the
best men in the position in the state.
in this section.
Two games of real worth may be
played Saturday. Dickinson appears at
Annapolis against the Naval Academy
and Davidson meets Virginia at Char
as it has been in some previous years
1t ought to give the Sailors quite a
battle. Davidson may put up a real
fight against Virginia Neither David
son nor Dickinson, though, can hardly
be expected to win. These two con-
tests should be the best in the south
No scrimrnage work was done by any
Of the local foot ball squads yesterday.
Practically the entire afternoon was
devoted by all the coaches to the gen.
eral development of their teams in the
rudiments. Scrimmage probably will
be held this afternoon at Georgetown,
but it is improbable that either George
Washington or Catholic University will
put their squads through such hard
work just yet. Catholic University
may stage a brief setto between two
elevens in order to prepare for the
opening game with Eastern College
Saturday.
Two other candidates who Joined the
George Washington squad yesterday
and who should be of exceptional worth
are Marmon of West Virginia Univer-
sity and Schoenfeldt. former Central
High boy. The former played tackle
and the latter quarterback. Harmon is
a big fellow and has had considerable
experience. SchoenfeIdt probably was
the best quarterback Central ever had
Two new men Joined the C. L. squad
Sherman. who has had quite a little ex-
perience in the backfeld with a west
ern high school eleven, and Larkin, a
lineman from Hartford. Conn, report
