South Atlantic schools.
Georgetown seems to have wiped
out everything that had to do with
its previous foot ball organization
and policy. as complete sway has been
given to Lou Little, former Pennsyl-
vania star. Not only has Georgetown
given Little complete charge, but it
Is allowing him to pick his own as
sistants, not one of whom is to be q
Georgetown man, according to report.
1t is reported on good authority that
Little will have three assistants, one
OF them being Mike Palm. Penn
states quarterback last year, and
the other two. as yet unnamed, to
come respectively from Illinois and
Notre Dame.
II this be true. Little has lined up
with him men familiar with the
strongest offensive systems in the
country and probably will depend on
them considerably for offensive
coaching. 1t is no secret that Little
thinks Pennsylvahia's defensive tao
tics are as good or better than any
other and probably intends himself to
do practically all the defensive COACH
sing.
Miller ut n. G. state.
Complete reorganization OF it's
Athletic department has been effected
by North Carolina State and a Mid
die western man OF the name OF
Miller placed in charge with half
dozen assistants. Not much is known
hero OF Millers accomplish but
North Carolina State. after thorough
" investigating his record in the
Middle West, feels justified in it's con-
fdence that he will turn out a win
ming eleven.
Another switch at George Wash
inEton has placed Harry Crum. star
At Princeton for two years and a
YN1o o%
fore that, at the helm. The Hatchet-
ties are determined to bring out
the good material in their studefft
body and are confident that this
year will mark the beginning OF
great advancement in the foot ball
world.
Virginia. Maryland, Virginia Poly
technlc institute, Washington and
Lee, North Carolina. and Virginia
Military Institute will be under the
same coaching systems that were in
effect year ago. Virginia expects
that the work Earle Neale did last
season with both varsity and fresh
man teams will show in the develop
ment OF one of it's strongest eievens,
and that Virginia feels that way is
proved by the difficult schedule it
has arranged. Harvard. Pennsyl-
vania, Washington and Lee, Virginia
Military Institute, Virginia Polytech-
nie' Institute, Georgia, and North
Carolina on Virginia's schedule are
sufficient proof that Virginia looks
for a strong team.
V. NJ. !. is to be handled, as usual
by Blondy Clarkson, with Bill Raf-
tery his assistant. Clarkson during
the past few years has given v. N. Il
foot ball teams that it never had
before his entry on the coaching
scene. Jimmie DeHart at Washington
and Lee. and Ben Cubbage at v. p l.,
undoubtedly will turn out their usual
ly powerful and versatile eIevens.
Also there is not much doubt that
Bill Fetzer and Bob Fetzer are going
to have a real eleven at North Caro-
lima, or it will be the first time IN
the many years that they have been
coaching that they have not.
And In speaking about coaching, it
may as well be said that Catholic
University is looking to Tom CORN
ley to give it the best team that has
worn its colors since the eleven Fred
Nelson turned out in 1915. Gormley
took the C. L. squad a year ago and
sent 1t through a very creditable sea-
son. This Fall he will have about
the same men and several others
from the freshman eleven. CORN
ley is about as optimistic usually as
Dobie, but even he feels rather good
about the prospects and actually
admits that he is going to have
good team.
Gesrsetown and Maryland will get
