Evening star., 1923-12-16

L'lSSdtiSldClIOII has peGn tApTeSErd
by many Georgetown men over the
result of the season just closed. but
there also Is d. sentiment among Blue
and Gray alumni TO give Maloney
another chance to show what he can
do Just what will happen is not
known, but il is more than possible
that some action may be taken within
the next week or two confirming
Maloney's reappointment for another
year or naming a new man to handle
the squad.
Neale Suits Virginia.
When Neale took charge Of foot
ball at Virginia not quite year ago
ii was said that he would not last
twelve months. but il seems that he
not only lasted a year, but has con
Vinced Virginia that he is a good
coach ana sufficiently capable to
handle the situation. He not only
has been rendered a contract for
l924-25r but has agrt d 10 Il clause in
that contract which gives Virginia an
option on his service for longer
period. No one doubts that Neaic
knows foot ball. and base bail, too,
and that he is = good coach. and Nir-
glnla retention Of his services is
not q surprise to those In close touch
with the situation at Charlottesville
Cubbage Will remain At Virginia
Polytechnic Institute indefinitely, in
all probability De Hart seems to be
Blandy Clarkson undoubtedly has the
job as head coach at Virginia Military
Institute just as long as he desires TO
keep II.
Down at North Carolina State Col
lege il is understood that Harry
Hartsell will be superseded as ath-
letic director and head coach Of foot
ball and base ball In fact. an an
nouncement to that effect was made
Il few days ago. Strong alumni seuti-
mcnt is back of HartseII. though, and
he may remain at Raleigh I'm some
capacity. If not as head Of tn" foot
ball system. Failure to turn out bet
ter foot ball teams IS given as the
main reason for the desire at North
Carolina State for another coach.
North Carolina Well Fixed.
University of North Carolina is fix
ed for the next four years, as the
past season was the first year of
five-year contract for the Fetzer
brothers. Georgia Tech again Will
be coached by Alexander and Van
derbilt by McGugin. These two men
have done so we'll at their respective
institutions that they have reached
the stage where they are fixtures as
long as they care to remain. Wade
in his first year at Alabama got such
fine results that Alabama probably
will keep him as long as she can.
Abel. former Colgate tackle, who was
spent his first year as head coach
Of Mississippi A. and NJ. and had con-
siderable success Mike Donahue did
not accomplish much in his first wear
years of a ten-ycar contract in which
to make good. NetZgeT has Il con-
tract at South Carolina Coor for two
more years, and Banks apparently IS
solidly set at Tennessee.
With the exception Of Georgetown
North Carolina State and
two schools which have not yet
reached a prominent position in the
foot ball world. the coaching situation
in the entire south seems pretty well
settled. And it is worth much to have
that settled. because the schools that
have may spend their entire time
making plans for the other essential
things relative to foot ball And foot
ball as it is now conducted is more a
putting into effect for three months
in the fall plans that have been
worked out during the entire year
than it is a getting together for three
short months of an athletic season.
Completing Their Schedules.
With their coaching systems prac-
tically settled, most of the institu-
tions are about winding up their
schedules Several schools have an
nounced their list of contests. Sew
eral will journey north again to meet
Dig INSTITUTIONS VI tiIdl ScSlAoti'
Among games already listed of this
nature are Virginia, at Harvard and
PENNSYLVANIA: North Carolina. Georgia
and Maryland at Yale. and in all
probability Georgetown at Pennsyl-
vania.
A game with Pennsylvania for
Georgetown will be a big help to the
Blue and Gray schedule. Many George
town alumni are interesting themselves
in effecting a rearrangement of games
and SO earnest have they been in their
endeavors that there is not much doubt
they will succeed.
