No More Jumping
The tragic death Of Johnson has

While the order follows Johnson's
death il has become known that the

ing i SPEECH! Your oldest
correspondent in these parts had
never known him to say more
than 10 words in private, much
less talk for wholesale consump-
tion, and if he could be caught
cold-handed unlimbering his vo-
cabuiary publicly, it would be
worth recording for posterity.
Besides, he might say some
thing about the prospects of
next years team; he might even
promise a pennant-anyway it
was worth risking, and that is
why this utterance suggests fire
men-false alarms. The speech
that Walter Johnson made could
be engraved on the head of a

Carl DeMello will be called from
his halfback post to hawk the
signals in case Oliver is on the

who floats the ball to the receiver,

snare the ball while on the run.

PROTEST

Alumni Of Georgetown Uni
versity were up in arms today
over the reported prospect OF
the hilltop university losing
the services of its athletic di-
rector and head football coach,
Louis Little, who is ending his
fifth year in the blue-and-
gray athletic department.
Opinion among the men in this
city who have graduated from
Georgetown is that their alma mater
never has received such athletic
prominence as during the regime
of Lou Little and that an emphatic
protest will be registered at the
smoker to be held Friday night
previous to the West Virginia game,
was indicated today.
That LittIe's going from the
Hilltop will be by his own choice
rather than at the instance OF
the athletic authorities there IS
no doubt. A revision downward
in overhead has been unuer
process at Georgetown since
early in the football season.
The first jolt athletics received
there came when the resignation
Of Father Vincent McDonough as
faculty athletic advisor was an

Sentember. This was severe blow
ia Coach Little, who had been given
every support in building up sports
at the Hilltop and that further
changes were to be made in the
9,.57a,. of things was forecast by
those in touch with athletics at
Georgetown.
A second surprise to followers OF
+t,a various sports teams OF the Blue
and Cray was couched in the fallure

narent that q wholesale shakeup IS
dua and no person in an athletlc
position at the Hilltop win feel sure
of his ground.
Tnnfiict with his policies from
Hilltop authorities has brought
Coach Lou Little to the point Wnefs
he believes a change in his 1leld
of labor will be to his best PERSONAL
interests. Despite his unquesttoned
success with Georgetown's football
teams since 1924, he has been
hampered in his work, and he does
not deny that he would reconsider
offers which have come to him
within the last couple of years,
when the present gridiron season
has expired.
Despite the strife which has been
making Little's position at the Hill
top less desirable from his own
viewpoint. he has gotten together
q team second to none in the East
until last Saturday when it suf-
fered its first defeat at the hands
of Carnegie Tech. Up until that
time. too, it had been the highest
scoring combination of this section.
This year Georgetown has vic.
