REPORT
BY George A. Simpson

Athletic authorities at George
washington University are plan.
ming q drastic change in the atl-
letic policy, 1t has been learned.
Harry Watson Maud Cruna. pres
emit athletic director IS wei as
basketball and football coach, Will
be offered only the seasonal coacn
ing jobs Of football and basketnaA,
It has not been decided whether the
post az athletic director VIII be
Abolished nor Is ii certain that
Crum won't be retained a. athletic
director.
DIR. Daniel Borden, chairman
Of the athletic committee, nI1d
Coach Cruni were reluctant 20
discuss the matter and neither
haa any statenlenfs to offer,
huf neither denied that next
years plans are not yet agreed
upon between them.
Maud Crum. however. expressed
his desire to remain at George
washington and WAS hopeful that
an understanding could be reached.
He would not commit Himself on
the subject Of rumored coaching
berths from other schools but u ~
commonly known that such posi-.
tons have been proffered the Co
loniaI coach in view of his excellent
and nlefitorious work since his com
ing to George Washington in 1924.
Dr.. Borden admitted that the
university officials were more than
anxious that Crum remain and II
Is possible that the matter will be
settled satisfactorily.
Crum was star gridder under
Bill Roper at Princeton and it was
he who scored the winning touch
down that gave the Nassau Tigers
4 Ellis victory over Chicago Uni
versfty in that never.to.b forgotten
1922 battle in the Windy City.
Crum has lifted George washing.
ton from obscurity and placed the
Colonials near the forefront in the
college gridiron circles. Before he
took command at George Washing.
ton, the Downtowners won but four
football games in three years.
crum's elevens have lost but eight
OF 50 football engagements during
the four-year period he has been
connected with George Washington.
4 Last year, tne OOt0nEM ply
skinners were headed toward
national recognition until they
encountered their first reverse
ut the hands Of Penn State.
1870, at State College. Pa, ON
November 5. The only other
defeat was administered BY Cath
.Olic University in the annual
Turkey Day battle.
Crum's success has been plle.
nomenal in the light OF the fact that
he has been forced to work with
limited squads. Last year was an
example when he was faced with an
extremely small squad. numbering
but fifteen first-class players. The
eleven played throughout the Penn
State and Catholic University games
without a substitution.
The former Princeton ace also
coached the football team alone last
year and is doing the same with the
basketball five. His contract with
George Washington expires on
September /.

Alfonso only made the match in
teresting in the second set, which
went to 20 games before Tilden
came out on top. Alfonso displayed
his famed steadiness in this set, but
could not break down the defense
of the former monarch of the
courts.
Alfonso and Tilden really gave
greater exhibition last night than
their two appearances at the Ar
cadia last season. Their repertoire
included shots of every description
and fancy. Some of the returns
were nothing short of miraculous
and the distinguished onlookers'
which numbered attaches OF the

devotees of the District, were

The Fort Meade Leader pro-

are not much in demand; they
are not afraid to speak their

Because they always have the

The correct answer is Because
