.HOYAS MARK TIME
ON GRID SITUATION
LittIe'S Successor Unchosen.
No designations Among
the Athletic Board.

~ GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY
authorities have called no
r meeting Of the athletic board
~ to consider the selection Of a
foot ball coach to replace Lou
Little, who resigned his post At the
iron coaching position with Columbia
University, nor has there been a whole
sale resignation of alumni members Of
the athletic board as far as can be
learned from these members.
Many prominent in foot ball have
been mentioned as successors to Little,
but none oficially. Among those said
to be under consideration for the grid
iron tutoring post are Elmer Layden,
former fullback with the famous Notre
Dame -four horsemen" and coach this
year Of the DuQueSne University eleven;
Mike Palm and John DaGroSsa, who
have assisted Little at the Hilltop. and
Capt. Lawrence (Bin) Jones, who re-
Point.
Georgetown oficials; however, have
issued no statement regarding poSSi-
Bile selection nor have they intimated
when Q meeting of the athletic board
would be held to consider such selec-
ton. Nothing Is to be learned from
the Hilltop concerning the reported res
igT1ationS Of alumni members OF the
athletic board and none Of these MEM
Oers confirm the report.
According to one Of the alumni men,
beKs, they have nothing to do with
the actual control of athletics or OF
athletic policy at Georgetown, these
matters being entirely in the hands OF
the university faculty representatives on
the board. This member states there
was no concerted protest by the alumni
members against the acceptance OF
Little'S resignation as coach as they
had no ground for such action.
s,.. Merely Are Advisers.
As. the alumni member Of the. board
explains 1t, the graduate members act
merely; in an advisory capacity. when
called into consultation with the faculty
members and have nothing to do with
the actual making Of contracts with
coaches. In 1ittle's case, this member
states, 1t was merely q matter Of the
former coach being able to better him
self financially by shifting from George
town to Columbia, and the member
does not view this as q basis for protest
by the graduate section of the board.
Nor did the matter neceSSitate q con-
ference between alumni and faculty
members, the alumni member holds.
SO Tar as known, none OF the alumni
members of the board has formally
rendered his resignation. In fact, the
terms of at least two Of the members
expired with the ending of the last
scholastic year at Georgetown in June,
and three will be no completely filled
board until the Hilltop authorities see
fl to call a meeting and fill vacancies.
The Athletic Association ONCE at
Georgetown this morning would not
confirm as the 1880 schedule for the
Hoya eleven q list Of games published
without dates, declaring the schedule
was not yet ready for release. The list
as published would give Georgetown a
much harder schedule than it has had
for some time. and includes two new
opponents for the Hoyas, Loyola Of Chi
cago and Michigan State.
other games in the list are with
Mount St.. Mary's, which will be met
September ~. here; Western Mary
land, to be played in Washington or
Baltimore on October 1S; west Vir-
ginia, to be met here on October IS |;
Detroit. which probably will be en-
countered in Detroit at the end Of the
campaign on November 40; West ,Vir-
ginia Wesleyan, New York University,
probably in New York on November a;
Villanov& at Philadelphia and Boston
College At Boston. ...,,
