Harry Deming and George Bar
clay are the latest candidate to be
strongly considered for the football
coaching job at George Washington
University vacated by Skip Stanley.
Deming, former G. W. tackle. now is
football and track coach at Wash
ington-Lee High School in Arling-
ton, Va, while Barclay, one time
all-America lineman at North Car
olina, is the No. assistant coach
at Maryland.
The situation at George Wash
ington is as unsettled as March
afternoon and Max harrington, di-
rector OF mems activities, is having
more trouble filling the job than
had been expected. 1t is said that
Johnny Fenlon, previously men,
toned as having the inside call on
the job. wants to remain at Fred
ericksburg, Va, little while longer.
The dope is that Deming will take
over for a year, with Fenlon assum-
ing command in lj49.
Ray Hanken merits serious con-
sideration, too. but Ray, as mem
ber of the physical education staff
at G. W., has built up faculty tenure
which would be sacrificed for the
uncertainties of a coaching position,
He isn't likely to chuck it out the
window without thinking it over
carefully.
But Hanken, like Tuffy Leemans,
gladly would accept an assistants
role that wouldn't interfere with his
tenure. Leemans is willing, nay,
anxious, to be backfield coach in the
new regime, but wouldn't give the
head-coaching role second thought
because of private business interests,
What happens to Deming in 49
is something else again-unless, OF
course. harrington has a spot for
him that would make it worth
while to leave WI.
Barclay was closeted with Far
rington more than an hour this
morning, discussing the coaching
job. Harrington wanted it under
stood, however, that nothing def
mite had been decided about Barclay
or any one else. I'VE have a num-
Ter of men under consideration. ano
Barclay is one of them" he said
He impressed me very favorably
He was very strongly recon-
mended to us, but I didn't talk to
him until I had asked Jim Tatum

Outf1elder Lee Culberson from Bos-
ton they had received scores of
glowing predictions concerning AL.
Fielding Skill Unquestioned.
There isn't much doubt Kozar Is
an acceptable, possibly sensational,
fielder and the Mats haven't aban-
doned hope that he'll click at bat.
It's too early to rate Al, but the
Mats bosses would be encouraged
if Kozar suddenly supplied some
spark to Washington's sputtering
machine.
Too vivid is the memory Of Gil
Coan hitting .374 with Chattanooga
in 1945, then being graduated to
the Mats and humping conserva-
tive 209 in 1916. He admittedly
wasn't ready for the leap to the
ma ajors and Prexy Clark Griffith and
Manager Joe Kuhel are hoping
Kozar won't stage anything resem-
bling facsimile of that catastrophe.
Administered a go beating by
tie Cincinnati Reds yesterday at

victory. The Mats regulars were

The high spot Of the seasons
fishing in Chesapeake Bay Is the
annual Fishing Fair, starting today
and running through Sunday, in the
area around Tilghman's Island. This
is the third time this popular spot
has been host to the fair since it
first was held In 1895.
Annual attendance at the fair has
ranged from 5000 to 1900. and this
years event should be one of the
best as late summer fishing has been
excellent.
Altogether there are IS trophies
and about 100 prizes in competition
this week end. Prizes are for the
largest fish, for the largest fish in
each of the various Chesapeake Bay
species, for the greatest variety, for
the angler coming the greatest dis
lance, for the youngest and the
Oldest anglers. for the boat captain
whose party wins the most trophies,
for the best fish caller, the best
singer, and so forth.
The contests are open to all, only
conditions being that fishing must
be done from a boat belonging to a
member of the Chesapeake Bay
Fishing Fair Association and that
anglers must register before starting
to fish. The big majority of Bay
boats are members, and convenient
registration points have been set up
around the fishing area.
Among the fishing ports most con-
venient to the Tilghman's Island
area from Washington are North
