and Gray squad gets out today
for its first workout, but the
training this Winter will be more
in the nature of a development
process for another year than
intensive preparation for serious
competitive efforts.
Coach Jimmy Mulligan issued suits
to II men last Friday, and told them
to report this afternoon. Many more
are expected out and it is thought that
the squad will be augmented as
the week goes on until, Mulligan es-
Inmates, it reaches so.
What we may do in competition
this Winter" said Mulligan this morn
ing, depends entirely on the men we
develop. However, as we lost virtual
ly our whole team of last year, do not
expect that we shall have anybody good
enough to send to the big Northern
meets except Al Kelley, our sprintcr.
He undoubtedly will take part in sew
eral If we are lucky and build up
relay team that should stand any
chance at all in the indoor intercol-
legiates we probably will enter it there.
That right now, though, is not very
likely. We shall have men in the
Pennsylvania relays, and maybe in one
or two other outdoor meets, but, the
way it looks to me at present, our work
this year will be largely q matter of
building a team for next year."
Georgetown, while it may not have
much competition this Winter, has re-
built It's outdoor board running track
and provided the same facilities 1t had
when it was turning out great relay
quartets.
T OCAL college foot ball coaches are
IL well satisfied with their jobs and
have no intention of quitting for
service in other sections. Rurnors have
gone around that Dutch Bergman of
Catholic University and Jim Pixlee of
George Washington might 60 to this
place or that place, but both said def
nitely this morning that they have no
intention of leaving the local schools
and have not had.
Catholic University has been to me
everything that any man could ask"
said Bergman, "apd I have no intention
Of leaving. Furthermore, have not
discussed with any other school the pos
sibility even of accepting job elsewhere
II Catholic University is as satisfied
with my work and with me as I am
with Catholic University then am due
for long stay in Washington"
Jim Pixlee expressed himself along the
same lines as Bergman, saying that he
is satisfied with the treatment accorded
him at George Washington and that he
certainly has no intention OF leaving.
COMETIME ago it was rl1mored that
- Pixlee might go to some middle
western schol and that Bergman
was seriously considering job at Holy
Gross. As a matter of fact, there have
been no discussions about such jobs
and neither has even remotely con-
sidered leaving his present place.
Jack Hagerty, of course, came here
last fall really to take charge of the
Georgetown squad next season. Under
that condition. and especially after lis
tening to Hagerty talk about what he
expects to do next year, it is hardly
conceivable that he would even con-
slider proposal to go elsewhere. AS a
matter of fact, 1t is known that Hagerty
is more definitely pleased to be at
Georgetown than he would be at any
other school, The same is true for
Walter Young of American University
and for Teddy Hughes at Gallaudet
Out at Maryland the same system has
been in effect for twenty years. and any
change that may be made there either
this year or in some future year Is not
likely to affect the general policy In
the least.
TEORGE WASHINGTON is the only
" local school with a basket ball
game scheduled tonight, and it
plays out at Pittsburgh with Duquesne
University as its opponent. The Co.
lonials expect the stiffest kind of oppo-
sition, as Duquesne nearly always is
strong in the court sport. Coach Pix
lee will not make the trip, as he is
still somewhat rocky" from his recent
attack of the flu.
Maryland opens its boxing season to-
night at Washington and Lee. The Old
Liners are to present different lineup
from that of last year, the only men
due to don gloves against the Generals
from the 1882 squad being Keener, Car
roll and Wingate. Against W. and l..
the 115-pound class will be cared for
by Gruver, 125 by Carroll 1876 by Burns,
las by Wingate, 155 by Keener, 165 by
McAboy. ITS by McCaw and heavy
weight by Farrell.
In two years of college boxing Mary
land has won only one match, tia :
with st. Johns last year. 1t lost 20
Washington and Lee last season by
while entirely unfamiliar with college
boxing in this section, thinks his men
have at least an even chance tonight
MARYLAND got off Saturday night
w in its Southern Conference COM
petition to a very successful start,
as 1t took Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute into camp by a one-sided score.
However, Maryland has real task
ahead of it Thursday night. when Duke
University comes here. Duke has whip
ped both Georgetown and George
Washington and will try hard to add
to its laurels. Maryland naturally is
not DESTROYS of taking a beating and
the result probably will be one of the
best basket ball contests of the whole
season.
HAVING a great foot ball team I'M
i l doubt,dly has its drawbacks. Au-
burn, which probably had the
strongest eleven iii the South last Fall
still has two open dates on its sche-
dule for next season, october and
November IL. Evidently. other schools
are not seeking with anv great SHOW
of desire Auburns opposition.
Georgetown and American Univer-
sity are back from highly successful
basket ball trips. The former beat
Canisius College and Colgate and lost
to New York University BY only
points, which constitutes better record
dor the trip than even its own hackers
thought at all probable. The results
of the trip is all that is needed tc
;show that the Blue and Gray has req,
strength and will prove a formidable
opponent for all the teams it meets
