other university"
While no statement to the effect has
been made by anybody in authority
at George Washington, 1t is understood
that. beginning in 1926, the university
desires to play some of the big
Southern schools in foot ball and feels
that 1T should begin to make prepara-
tions now as are necessary to meet
the eligibility requirements of the
Southern Conference, to which practi-
caIly all Southern colleges and uni
versities of any size belong.
Games between George Washington
and schools now prominent in the
Southern Conference formerly were
among the most important OF the sea-
son in this section. Washington and
Lee Virginia Polytechnic Institute
and University of Virginia used to
come here to meet the Hatchetites and
there's no real reason why they should
not come again. In 1907 the George
Washington Virginia 0-to-0 game in
old Van Ness Park was just about as
big an affair as the one between
Georgetown and Virginia that year
And it was only a year later when the
Hatchetites under Fred Nelson de-
feated both Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute and Washington and Lee.
All those interested in the develop
ment of athletics in the local colleges
will Look with commencing interest on
George Washington's effort to build
up it's system of sports on the right
lines. Any school that begins in that
way deserves success.
While Catholic University and
Georgetown have opened their base
ball schedules, neither has a contest
this week. c. U. does not play again
until 1t meets Bucknell April s, and
Georgetown has not another game un-
til Lehigh comes here April Z.
University of Maryland opens it's
schedule Friday and plays again Sat
urday. The first game is with Uni
versity of Richmond at College Park,
and the second with Gallaudet at
Kendall Green.
The performance of the Washington
College basket ball team during the
past season deserves more than the
passing mention it seems to have got
Washington College is a little arts
college over on the Eastern Shore of
MARYLAND, with scarcely more than a
hundred students, and that 1t should
turn out a quint capable of going
through a season of IS games unde-
feated is certainly a tribute to the
capabilities of the players and the
coaching.
Tom Kibler, who is in charge of
athletics at Washington College,
stands among the best coaches in the
East While at Ohio State some years
ago he turned out brilliant quints and
later did just as we'll as one OF the
physical directors at Lehigh. Since
going to Washington College he has
v-fc nDt-
dentally, Washington College holds
Kibler in charge of it's athletics only
because it is in his home town, and
because he maintains there lucra-
tive wood and feed business. Kibler
could get double the salary at some
other institution than he receives at
Washington College were 1t not for
his business connections.
Catholic University's track and field
SQUAD Is beginning to shape up to a
point where some idea may be gained
as to who may be depended on to
score points in the meets it intends 10
arrange, and who may make up the
two relay teams 1t announces Will
represent it in the Pennsylvania
games.
OF the whole squad it is said that
Howell and McNulty are the best.
Howell held the Maine interscholastic
star sprinter of the Rosary High
School of Holyoke, Mass. The men
from whom the mile and two mile
relay teams are to be picked are
Gardes, Langley, Smythe, DarInstetter,
Scanlon. Hegarty, Rutledge, Cronin
and Kelly. The best of the distance
men are Ignace, Smith, Coulter and
Couture. Field men who appear
promising are Fitzgerald, Valega,
Moore, Tobin, Dufour, Connors. Bayly.
Pierla, Walls, Salfa, Carroll and
Walsh.
The Brooklanders do not expect to
accomplish a whole lot in their first
track effort in years. They hope to
get the sport under way an / keep 40
men at practice, so that in another
year or two they will be well repre-
sented.
No wholesale inflow of Marine
Corps foot ball players is expected at
Georgetown University, nor Is 1T pos
sible for three of the four men re-
ported as certain to enter that uni
veristy to get by the entrance re-
Quirements, according to a statement
made by a man authorized to speak
officially for the Hilltoppers. Here
