I'VE have about come to the conclu-
sion" continued Driver. that Virginia
has depended in the past too much on
young coaches who have not been out
of school long enough to get the expert
ence necessary to enter the kind OF COM
petition they have to meet. In my opln-
ion there is no competition in any pro-
fession in all the world so keen and so
killing as in college coaching, especially
foot ball Virginia, in my opinion, has
needed more experienced men TO handle
basket ball and backf1eld candidates IN
foot ball and I think we have about
solved that problem In obtaining the
services of Gus Tebell, former Wiscon-
sin man who has been at North Caro-
lima State the last five years.
"Our coaching staff now seems to me
to be one of the best in the East and
certainly just as good as any in the
South. Head Coach Abel is a brilliant
line coach and knows how to handle a
foot ball squad. He felt that he needed
an experienced backfleld coach and we
got him one in Tebell. Abel and Teoell
should make just about as good pair
to handle foot ball as any school has.
Then, for the last few years Tebel has
been recognized as one OF the two or
three best basket ball coaches in the
South. With the material Virginia has,

Hahn, who was coaching track and
training the teams at Princeton before
he came to Virginia this year, Is good
coach and Virginia will surprise good
many for wrestling and boxing. All In
all our coaching staff represents to me
not only an excellent personnel from
professional viewpoint, but also they are
Just about as fine fellows personally as
one could want to meet.
81 look for our foot ball team to come
through much better next Fall. We had
a lot of things to shape up last seasno.
and we shall be more ready to go ahead
when we begin practice next September.
Our material is likely to be good, unless
we lose some men through scholastic
failures or for some other reason. 1t
looks to me as if we ought to have one
of the greatest backfields in the South.
Thomas is fine back, Bryant has Won
derful possibilities, and Beuhrer also
has a great future on the gridiron. and
all of them weigh around $50 pounds
or more.
Possibly, am little too optimistic
about our general athletic situation, but
this is the way I look at II. and ] see
no harm in saying So
The same team that represented
GEORGETOWN in its match with Buck
nell Saturday night is to wear the Blue
and Gray in the intercollegiate boxing
championships, which begin at Phila-
delphia tomorrow. This means that the
team will line up with Charley McAllis-
ter IN the lis pound class, Mike Tar
dugno in the 125, Henry Murphy in the
135, Charley Fish in the las, Jack Tier
ney in the 160. Leroy Bordeau in the
ITS, and Don Donaldson in the unlim-
tied
The local battlers are slated to face
difncult opponents in the preliminary
matches. In fact, it is not likely that
any of them win have setups, though
Fish has twice whipped his scheduled
opponent, Hall of Navy. Bordeau is to
meet Barnett of Western Maryland.
Tierney faces Moret of Navy, McAllis-

Donaldson's opponent is to be Merrick
