DISTRICT.
WILL RALLY
To BEST

Given the chance, washington
will develop into a national
center for big time football!
This is the belief expressed
by Athletic Director Jim Pixlee,
Of George Washington UniVer-
sity.
Pixlee.. since taking over bis
present position, has taken care
to schedule intersectional oppo-
sition. And in due time, ne
thinks, this step will be well
rewarded. l
He said today:
cts my intention to schedule
at least two formidable elevens
from far away sections each
year.
''This season we opposed
South Dakota here and Travelled
to Tulsa, OKLA, to meet the
powerful Tulsa University ma
chine.
"Next year Tulsa is to- come
here while we will engage Iowa
on the latter's field"
Curiosity as much as anything
else, PixIee maintains, factors in
clicking the turnStileS. ConSe-
Quently an intersectional team
with good record and reason
able amount Of color naturally
has its appeal at the box office.
Having already scheduled Tulsa
and Iowa for 1881 Pixlee init
mates that he would also like to
arrange another home attraction
with an interSectional eleven
preferably standout Southern
machine.
As yet no progress has
been reported i'm this direc-
tiOn. But don't be surprised
IL George WashingtOn's 1881
booking includes at least two
home games with well-knOwn
elevens from distant points.
Three games have been def
ritely closed by the Colonials
for next season. Tulsa and Iowa
are to be met on the two-year
schedule agreement drawn up
last year, while Delaware Univer-
Sity also is to be encountered.
Delaware, a tough aggregation
that extended the Colonials to the
limit earlier in the year, is to be
met at Griffith Stadium early in
the season. The Newark college
requested a date corresponding
with that on which this seasons
game was played but Coach Pixlee
has not okayed the proposition.
Catholic University, of
course, will be opposed, while
several new teams may be
added to an ambitious book
ing.
The ColonialS were confined to
q signal drill yesterday because of
steady downpour. Today they
will start driving in earnest for
Friday nights game with New
York AggieS at Griffith Stadium.
The residents will be odds-on-fa,
vorites to cop in this engagement
but they are guarding zealouSly to
ward off overconfidence.
Following the Aggie con-
test, George Washington
meets three tough fOemen in
Albright, Catholic University
and Navy. No less an au.
thOrity than Dick Harlow,
Of Western Maryland, has
stamped Albright as one of
the most dangerous small
eIevenS in the East,
Catholic University and Navy
are the teams drawing most of
coach PiXlee's attention nowadays,
however. And rest assured that
scouts will be on hand to study
both machines when they lock up
IN their respective weekend duels
with American U. and Ohio State.

Immediately after the foot
ball season, Coach PixIee will
call out his basketball men.
He anticipates q greatly inn.
proved quintet over that of
q year ago.
