DICKSON MAY COACH
GEORGETOWN TEAM
Penn End and Assistant Coach
Said to Be Possible Selec-
ton Of Washingtonians
MAY PLAY PRINCETON
BY JOSEPH T. LABRUM

- greatest ends in the history of
University Of Pennsylvania football. is
being considered for the post Of head
coach at Georgetown University. ac-
cording TO a well-defned rumor ema-
mating from the Capital City.
| The Washington tenn had great
season last year. winding It up by de-
| fcating Jock Sutherland's Lafayette
eleven, which has sustained but one
defeat previously in three years. by n
! point to Washington and Jefferson.
! The moguls who control sport at
Georgetown are seeking coach who
will become member of the faculty.
| according to our informant
Exendine. the former Carlisle Indian
star. who coached Georgetown during
the last season. has resigned, and the
authorities at Georgetown are consid-
ering a number of prominent coaches
and former coaches. Dickson's name
! was rendered by graduate of George
town who knows the capabilities Of the
Red and Blue star of two decades ago.
Georgetown Is taking its time about
the selection of n coach, as the authori-
ties at pennsylvania are doing. They
have a large number of candidates for
| the post and number Of others who
have been pushed forward by their
! friends.
1t is said that three men were being
considered after narrowing the list
down. One is Frank Cavanaugh, coach
of Boston College and one of the au-
| thorities on the sport in the country.
! 1t is said that the Hubtown tutor will
. be unable TO accept, and has informed
the Georgetown officials Of that fact.
! Cavanaugh still has two years to run
on his contract at Roston. and for that
reason is not considering any offers.
Neale Considered
Greasy Neale, the Cincinnati out
fielder and coach of Washington and
jefferson for the last two seasons, is
the second name that has been con-
sidercd. Neale, however, is said un-
officially to have given his word to
Columbia. although he has not as yet
signed contract. Neale resigned from
Washington and Jefferson before the
season was over because Of difference
of opinion between himself and the ath-
letic authorities.
With Neale and Cavannugh out of
the running. it is thought that Dickson
alone remains and that he will be
asked to come to Washington for
Il conference. Dickson could not be
reached in this city either yesterday or
this morning. AS classes at the Uni
versity closed on Wednesday for two
weeks it is likely that he has gone out
of town for the holidays.
Friends of the former star say that
he would be willing to accept the coach :
ing reins at Washington and predict
that lie would be a big success not
alone a. a football coach, but in boost
ing all athletics at the institution. For
the last several years Dickson has been
in charge Of the sports for all at Penn,
coaching football, basketball and base
ball teams among the fraternities, diff
ferent departments of the University
and other teams.
AS Georgetown wants coach who
will also be member of the faculty
and act in the capacity Of physical
educational director, they would not be
going amiss in securing Dickson. His
experience As football coach dates
from few years after his graduation
during the last few years has brough,
out II number Of excellent players who
otherwise would not have become
known but for the sports for all policy.
Started as Player In '85
Dickson started his football career al
Penn in 1880 and played on the same
team that year with such stars as Car
Williams. Buck Wharton, Al Bull
Jnck Minds and George Brookes Dick
sons coaching started with number
Of small colleges IN this section, Later
Bucknell, Lafayette, Franklin anc
Marshall and Lehigh, and Lehgh hat
Dickson as It's coach.
Dickson is also a baseball coach Of NJ
mean ability, having tutored a number
of college teams which proved highl,
successful.
Georgetown will have an ambitious
schedule next year If all reports ar,
true. 1t Is now said that the Mlddie
will play the Washington team at tn
ballpark there on date not yet de
termined. Like the Princeton contes
in Baltimore, the one In Washingto,
counts ns a home contest for the Mid
dies.
Princeton may also have Georgetown
on its schedule next year. the game t.
be played in Palmer Stadium n coupl
Of weeks before the big three contests
This will give Princeton one of it
hardest schedules In many years witt
Notre Dame, Navy, Yale and Harvar,
in addition to Georgetown.
Fordham College will probably pla,
Georgetown in Washington in an early
season contest along with Boston Col
lege, which defeated the Washington
ans during the last season. In addition
+ Georgetown will probably meet Hol
