Gets Fun From Coaching.

I'D MORRIS, former Williams Col
IL lege player, is to coach the Co.
lonial nine. Morris took over
the job Of handling base ball at
Gerge Washington last year, under
very discouraging conditions. but, un-
like most mentors, says that he had
the time Of his life and expects to
have just as good a time with the
squad this year.
I'VE do not know how good a team
we shall have, but it will be fairly
strong" says Coach Morris. Eve have
some exceptionally good pitchers. but
our catching staff does not seem to
be any too strong. BY the way, this
boy, Calvin Griffith, ClarkS son, has
good action and I believe will make
an exceptional slab artist. Dick Mich
OILS, Ed Fitzgerald, Bill Albert and Ar
thur Zahn, all of whom have played
good ball on the sandlots, are ex-
pected to make regular berths"
George Washington's games this
year will be arranged largely as home
and home propositions. Very few are
to be played at night. the schedule OF

T>ALKING before the University
Club the other evening Coach


TALKING before the University
i Club the other evening, Coach
Dutch Bergman of Catholic Uni
versity, told an amusing foot ball
story. He said it was Rockne's favor
ite reminiScence of his own foot ball
days. 1t seems that Rockne, after
graduating from Notre Dame, went
down to play in a professional game
in an Ohio town. Jim Thorpe, at that
time reaching the end of his foot ball
rope, was still a hard player. Just
before the game began, Thorpe walked
up to Rockne and said:
Young fellow, old Jim is about
worn out, SO give him a chance today.
let him get away for run once in
a while"
Rockne had other ideas and the first
time Thorpe started around Rocks
end the former Carlisle star was
thrown for a 5-yard loss. Rockne
jumped up all popped up and got set
to down the Indian the next time.
A few minutes later, Thorpe again
started around Rockne's end, but this
time hit Rockne SO hard that Rockne
did not regain consciousness for sew
eral minutes. Thorpe went on for
IS yards and touchdown.
When Rockne began to regain his
senses, he looked up and Thorpe was
standing over him. Thorpe leaned
over, patted Rockne on the shoulder,
and said:
Thanks, young fellow, for letting
old Jim run"
Something of what is expended in
taking pictures of foot ball games as
aids to coaching may be realized when
II is stated that one big Eastern school
took such exhaustive pictures of its
biggest game, largely of its opponents
play, that the cost of film for that
one event was more than $1,700. That
is almost enough to hire a coach in
this day of depression receipts.

BALTIMORE, February 7.-Senator
Kenneth Mcclellan, Democrat OF Ten
nessee, argued today that the location
of the proposed Scenic Highway from
the Shenandoah National Park to the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park must be done on terms OF
equal and exact justice to the States
of North Carolina and Tennessee.
Speaking at hearing before George
L. Radcliffe. chairman OF the Puphc
Works Administrations Advisory
Commission, the Tennessee Senator
said:
There is but one fair and just way
to build this road, and that Is as close
to the State lines as possible. II you
ever depart from that you have a
rocky road to travel. You haven't
got the money yet
Cites Failure to Consult.
The hearing today before Radcliffe
was the last of three. Representa-
tives from Virginia gave their ideas
of what routes the proposed highway
should run on Monday. and yester-
day delegation of North Carolinlans
argued that the highway should be
located totally within that State.
McKellar said he had read that
public works experts visited North
Carolina, and asked why they had
not visited Tennessee and had not
consulted Frank Webster. chairman
of the Tennessee State Highway Com
mission.
Gilmore Clark, consulting engineer
and landscape architect. employed to
aid in location of the highway, inter-
rupted with the remark that public
works engineers had been in Tennes-
see more than they had in North
Carolina and had consulted with no
State officials.
Fears Delay in Dispute.
HAS anybody been demanding that
his road be placed in North Carolina?'
McKellar asked.
Not until yesterday" replied Rad
cliffe
When McKellar asked who had been
here. Radcliffe said:
You are entirely mistaken in
believing you are opposing precon-
ceived notion
Later, McKellar said '1f we 90 into
this road fussing between States this
highway IS a long way OF. What we
want is that the road run as near the
