// r Ohm PIXLEE is one of the few
athletic directors I know that
have rounded viewpoint about
the development of college
sports, and certainly is by far
the best man we have had in charge of
our athletics" was the rather glowing
tribute paid by Dean Henry Grattan
Doyle of George Washington University
in speaking of the building up Of
sports program for that institution.
AS dean of men of George Washing
ton, Doyle naturally is keenly interested
in anything that so vitality affects
undergraduate thought and action as
athletics. and his whole-hearted COM
plimentary reference to Pixlee came as
a result of what he honestly feels Pixlee
can do for George Washington.
I'VE expect to build up our athletics"
continued Mr.. Doyle, land we all be-
lieve that Pixlee is the man to do 1t.
He has a good view of what an athletic
program means to a university, not
full sport, but from that of we'll
rounded system of sports. And, fur
thermore, Pixlee is conservative enough
not to move so rapidly as to lose track
OF his own actions. He is building
gradually and, believe, solidly.
Good Eleven Expected.
"Of course, we expect to have good
foot ball team next Fall but the thing
that has pleased me most about Pixlee's
work is that he is trying to build up a
general system of sports and is not
giving his whole attention to any one
sport And 1t might be mentioned, too,
that while there is lot of talk and
optimistic expressions about what we
expect to do in foot ball next Fall, it is
fact that I have never heard of Pix
lee even expressing an opinion about
what we may hope for. He is conserva-
tive in his expressions as we'll as in his
actions; he knows athletics and I feel
sure Will make good on his job to the
satisfaction of everybody And I shall,
still feel that way about it if he does
not have winning eleven next Fall"
Followers of the Buff and Blue uni
versity will be glad to get Dean Doyle's
expressions about Pixlee The athletic
director and coach has been working SO
hard this year to build up an internal
organization to place sports on a sound
footing with students and faculty that
ne has not had time to bother much
about what might be thought of him by
those with whom he may not have
come in very close contact. Therefore
those that have not had the opportunity
to meet Pixlee and become closely as
soclated with him will be glad to have
the opinion of one who has. And It
also should be very gratifying to Pixlee
to know that his earnestness and ability
have created for him such a favorable
understanding on the part of the uni
versity authorities.
Georgetown is sending its track and
base ball teams to Annapolis this after
noon for contests with Navy These

and have fair chance on the track.
should be one of the high lights of
the Spring season. No doubt a good
many Georgetown people will make the
trip to Annapolis.
Catholic University has one varsity
team at home this afternoon and one
away. The ball team meets MARYLAND
at Brookland and the track squad makes

land nine has not been going along so
well of late, although it has played
some mighty good ball at times.
