decided change in the coach
ing system were announced last night
by Georgetown University.
A department of physical education
has been created to carry out the
changes and Louis Little. director of
athletics, has been appointed its head
by the dean, Rev. Robert A. Parsons,
with the approval of Rev. Charles w.
Lyons, president of the University.
Director Little intends to extend the
athletic activities of many students
who are now taking part only in inter-
class and other intrOmural athletics.
1t is estimated that about IS per cent
of the students now are participating
in some varsity or freshmen athletic
activity with a good majority of the
remaining group taking part in ath-
letfcs confined to the campus.
Athletics For All.
Every student not a candidate for a
regular team must, under the new
policy. enroll in gymnasium classes
that will be formed. A program of
physical education that will carry the
student through the entire four-year
course is being planned by Director
Little. John d. O'Reilly, it Is likely,
will be named to take charge of this
activity as he has had considerable ex-
perience in such work.
Under the change in the coaching
system, O'Reilly will soon be relieved
of all tutoring except that of track.

FAYETTEVILLE, y. c., Febru-
l. airy 12.--"Take the ball away
from EN-" that's Jack Onslow's
Il method of preventing well
meaning but overzealous young
pitchers from OVERRIDING things in their
preliminary training.
The new coach of the Nationals, a
personahle chap whose quiet speech
and mild manners belle his reputation
for being a scrapper on the ball field,
knows his onions. as the boys say.
This was demonstrated lin a chat on
this hike to Tampa with the advance
squad of the athletes from which
Bucky Harris hopes to mold an eff
ficient curving corps for the American
League pennant chase ahead.
An operative of wsfe experience in
his particular field. who last season
finished a term of service with the
pittsburgh Pirates, carries a card as
Journeyman I:g league catcher and is
well acquainted with the trials and
trlbulations of a manager through
nrst-hand information obtained in the
minors, Onslow opines that keeping a
checkrein on ambitious juvenile fling
ers is The toughest part of the pre-
season conditioning assignment he is
due to undertake starting Monday.
Must Be Watched.
The youngsters will get too risky
and they have to be watched like a
hawk" said Onslow in presenting his
view of the most important single
factor connected with tutoring rookie
boxmen They get their wings
loosened up in a couple of days and
then try to show you how much stuff
they've got-about month ahead of
the time when they're fit to do it,
All the warming and advice YOU
give them is wasted. They are so anxi-
GUS to win a job by impressing YOU
with their prowess that they bear
down before their muscles can stand
the strain. with the result that thew
defeat their own purpose and that of
the club. Setbacks lasting several
weeks frequently result, and some
times they literally throw their arms
away.
with the older fellows YOU don't
have to worry on that score, for they
have learned their lesson and are con-
tent to gradually work into shape.
The kids always present the same prob
lem, however. It's a tough one that
comes up every Spring, but there's
. simple solution to it and that is to
take the ball away from them and SEN
tence- them to road work. The boys
don't like the hiking stuff and I've
found that when they are disciplined
by being deprived of the fun of toss
ing they usually are tanned in short
order. That's what is going to hap

definitely that j. 3. Hawkes., veter.

able to join the Australian Davis Cup
team this year and that consequently
Australia is not likely to compete.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 12.-Pos.
sibility of Australia remaining out of
the Davis Cup competition for an
other year was received with diSap-
pointment by tennis followers here
today.
Australia for many years was a
leading contender for the internation-
al team title, having won the bowl
seven times. 1t was from an Anti
podean team that America lifted the
cup in 1920, since which time this
country has successfully defended it's
possession.
Inability of J. E. Hawkes. to repre-
sent Australia was considered here
as probably limiting the number of
available stars to Gerald Patterson,
unless James 0. Anderson seconsiders
his decision to turn professional.
Pat O'Hara Wood and Norman
Brookes, other veterans, have not
competed in the Davis Cup series for
several years.

EMILE BERLINER TALKS
OVER AIR ABOUT "MIKE'

Thirty-five million telephone CONVEX
sations take place daily in the United
States, DR.. William A. Kinnan, acting
patent commissioner, last night told
radio audience from WRC, when
introducing Emile Berliner. micro
phone inventor. in celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the instrument
DIR. Kinnan stressed the progress
of the telephone in the so years since
the invention of the mike" declar-
ing it would have been impossible
without the genius of Berliner.
In addressing the radio audience,
Mr. Berliner told the dramatic story
Of the discovery of the microphone.
He described the simple incident that
first gave him the idea of the loose
contact current, the underlying prin-
ciple of the mike.
A friend, as he told the story, who
was an operator at the Washington
Fire Alarm Office, was showing him
how to send a telegraph message. He
emphasized that he must press firmly
down on the keys.
sUnless you make a firm contact,
the fun current will not pass" he
told Berliner. And that, declared the
inventor was how the idea came to
him.
Following his talk Mr.. Berliner re-
ceived a number of messages and
kilograms of congratulations from
listeners all over the United States.
