HEISMAN, who, after astounding the gridiron world by his phenomenal success as coach at Georgia Tech, was brought to e foot ball fortunes of the University of Pennsylvania, is said to be on the verge of accepting a very attractive propesition to coach the gridmen and handle athletics at William and Mary Callege. It was learned today that negotiations between the Wil- liamsburg institution and Heisman have proceeded so far that confidence has been expressed by the former than he will accept the proposition. ct at Penn nother vear od_that will Heisman has a cont sylvania which has run, but it is_und not’ stand in the way of his taking charge at William and Mary. In fact, rumors have been flying about for some time to the effect that the for- mer Georgia Tech mentor would not be on the Job at Penn when foot ball practice starts next fall, but no offi- cial denjal or affirmation of them has Leen made. It is rather a colncidence that Coach Albert Exendine of Georgetown, in picking for the Georgetown student yaper recently a composite all-George- town team of ‘the eleven best players he has coached since coming to George- town in 1913, selected three of the four men from the team of this year that the writer -picked for positions on the all-South Atlantic eleven— Florence, MeQuade and Comstook. In picking his team Exendine also gave Kenyon equal ‘strength with Wall, star in 1915, .and Flavin equal foot- 4ng with Johnny Gilroy.

In holding the experienced eleven of the Hyattsville (Md.) High School to a 2-to-1 score in Central stadium. the newly organ- ized Blue and White aggregation did much excellent playing and believes it can make matters interesting for several local clubs. Dick Williams, Central's captain, was the star of yesterday's contest. Playing at center forward, he check- ed many Hyattsville advances and prevented a more severe defeat for his team. He was largely responsible for keeping play in the Marylanders' territory the greater part of the first half and assisted in_achieving the goal that was kicked by R. Dix. A fluke play enabled Hyattsville to tie the score before the half ended. Stein, Central goal tender, blocked a kick. but the ball rebounded from another Blue and White player and shot through the goal. In the second half, hoth teams battled furiously be- fore Hyatts le made the ive | point. The linc-up and summary fol- ow : Hall | rp : « candidates, var- ity and freshmen. total 398.
