Hagety, Made Sports
Chief, Is Surprised
By Unique Sweep

| Georgetown will announce a new
football coach Friday after the first
clean sweep of a coaching staff in
the history of Washington colleges.
Coaches have resigned or been re-
leased before, but some of the as
Isistants always were retained.
Jack Hagerty, the Hoyas' head
grid coach since 1882 except for
three years as naval officer, is the
new director of athletics, succeeding
Rome Schwagel. Hagerty is the last
of the five G. U. coaches that
started the Disappointing 1948 sea-
son.
Schwagel, who had been talking
of long g-range plans for George
towns athletic future in the last
few weeks, is supposed to have re-
signed He could not be reached
for comment.
Bill Rach, Georgetown's director
OF athletic publicity, said he talked
to Schwagel yesterday after the
latter had been informed his re-
signation had been accepted.
Schwagel told Rach he was going to
take months vacation in Florida
to think things over and probably
would seek tieup in the export
business.
Hagerty Is Surprised.
He told Rach he was not in
terested in remaining in college
athletics, which is the opposite from
his outlook of recent weeks. He at
tended the recent NCAA meeting in
California with Hagerty after a va
cation en- route in which he at
tended the Sugar Bowl game.
Hagerty said when he was look
ing for assistants at the California
meeting he was looking for his own
assistants, he presumed, and he was
surprised to learn last Friday that
he would be the new director OF
athletics. Hagerty and the Rev.
Robert J. Parsons, S. j., faculty di-
rector of athletics, had been dis
cussing since Friday whether or not
he could handle both jobs.
Unless there is leak on the other
end, announcement of George
towns new coach will be held up
until Friday. Well announce 1t
then and in the meantime what's
the use of doing lot of silly guess
ing" Hagerty said.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Little
Earl Sande, who roared out of
the West 80 years ago to become
one Of the great jockeys of all
time, thinks it's about time his
luck took change for the better
again.
Yes, 194s was a bad year all
around for me-" Sande said to-
day, taking time off from his
training duties at Belmont Park
to talk about horses, his one
great love.
He's 50 now, CRAVING around
the temples, but still wears the
famous smile that won't wipe of.
A year ago Sande's racing and
breeding stable numbered more
than 20 head. Today he has just
five left, and they'd better go
out and win some purses this
year for the boss-or else.
This is an expensive business,
and you can't afford to carry bad
horses-they've got to pay their
way" he said.
Sande was forced to sell the
others to pay feed and board
bills and other expenses after his
run of tough luck-the payof1
being a 60-day suspension by
the jockey club. He had been
held for action of the Federal
grand jury on charges of illegally
possessing narcotics.
The racing world was stunned,
but no more than the Earl"
whose integrity as rider and
trainer had been without re-
proach.

Dubofsky First to Go.
After Georgetown's football team
won three, lost four and tied one
for the second straight year, there
was grumbling among the Hoya
alumni and it was almost certain
that there would be changes in the
coaching staff. However, few ex-
pected an entire new slate.
First to 60 was Mush Dobofsky,
line coach, who resigned rather than
coach the 150-pound team, unit
new to Georgetown football. George
Murtagh. end coach, accepted the
l5O-pound coaching job. Mike Palm,
backfield coach, had been hired un-
der q one-year contract on part
time basis.
On Monday Mac Cara. freshman
coach who had been brought here
from Ohio to install the IT, for
nation. resigned to accept an end
coach job under Slick Morton, new
coach at Mississippi Stae. Hagerty
was the only member Of the coach
ing staff left, and his step to ath-
letic director makes way for new
head coach and his own assistants.
Rigid Scholastic Code Hurts.
Georgetown was supposed to have
had a great freshman team year
before last, but of the 20-odd school,
boy stars who started the season
only a few of them, including Billy
Conn, managed to stand up under
Georgetowns rigid scholastic re-
quirements. The freshman team
last fall had a disappointing record.
Hagerty's coaching record at
Georgetown shows 81 victories, 80
defeats and nine ties, % victories
in a row in the late 1930s and
1910.
Schwagel took over as athletic
director at Georgetown in 1912.

Hope for Pro Football
Peace Still Stronq,
AAC Mogu| Says
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Just when
the pro football olive branch ap-
peared to be withering. a promi-
nent executive of the All-American
Conference declared today that "the
hope for peace is far from dead"
The informant, refusing to be
quoted by name, said Baltimore still
is the key to compromise.
THE AAC will not 60 for any
thing that won't guarantee Balti-
more's continuance" he said. But
now there is something hopeful
about the picture and developments
soon may be interesting"
The well-informed source indi-
Gated that a two-league setup with
seven teams in each may be the
final blueprint.
Despite this optimism, another
strong issue had formed today as
AAC club owners continued a Sc
cret parley which opened yesterday.
Anthony Morabito of the powerful
San Francisco 49ers, a team which
is coveted along with the Cleveland
Browns by the National Football
League. fatty asserted: San Fran
cisco will not go into the All-Amer-
lea Conference if the leagues men,
bership drops below eight clubs.
That's the stand I took at our meet
ing last month in Cleveland and I
see no reason to change.
MOrabito Is Adamant.
Morabito would not elaborate. He
may agree to a two-league align
ment, but he will not consent to
the AAC operating with only six
clubs in 1949. A Six-team AAC
pattern-with the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers and Chicago Rockets out-may
have been shaping, but the 49ers'
owner apparently has tossed in a
curve.
Another close source said the
AAC owners entered todays closed
conclave Thoroughly determined to
operate with eight clubs IN 1949-
let the chips fall where they may"
He said this decision was the crux
Of the understanding arrived at in
yesterdays session.
Unless today's meeting breaks
wide open,' he added, all the own
ers look for another season with
a full eight-team complement
Speculation that the AAC would
stay in business was boosted by
disclosure that a total of A new
players have been signed. The only
clubs not announcing new con-
tracts were San Francisco, which
may be holding up for strategical
reasons, and the Rockets.
Rockets May Get More Aid.
The Rockets, who needed 500 900
to start in 1948, may get a new
financial TRANSMISSION. There is talk
that Benjamin F. Lindheimer.
wealthy Chicago sportsman and
owner of the Los Angeles Dons,
might come to the rescue.
The New York Yankees lead the
list of signing rockies with %.
The practice Of siphoning funds
and players from some stronger AAC
clubs and feeding them to the
weaker ones-an AAC practice in
the past-has been attacked Wig
ororlsly by Arthur Mcbride of Cleve-
land and Morabito among others. !
NF'L owners and coaches began
in Chicago for the
start of their annual winter business
They take the stand that
peace must come in the form of
by the AAC and that they
must have an upper hand in dictat-
ing terms. NIL coaches are sched- /
