SKIERS CHOSEN ¢ FORMER PENN STAR DUE [1923 A. A, SENSATION TO TAKE CHARGE IN FALL Expected to Be Named on Full-Year Basis—Appears To Be Right Man to Rebuild System at Blue and Gray Institution. BY H. C. BYRD. ILL QUIGLEY, former University of Pennsylvania foot ball star | amount of cash and two players from and for the last three years coach of George Washington Univer- | the Yankees. sity elevens, probably will be head coach of foot ball at Gcorge-l town next fall. Indications are that Quigley not only is to be in charge of gridiron activities during the fall months, but is to be retained on a full-year basis, and in that way completely rebuild the Blue 'and Gray system, especially as regards its relationship with other institutions. At George Washington Quigley did not accomplish any great things with the foot ball squad, but his record there certainly should not count either for or against him, so difficult were the circumstances under which he worked. But despite many disadvamfics‘ Quigley had teams that at times played fine foot ball. Against the Marines in a game the last sea: son his men put up a brilliant exhibition until completely battered down by greater physical power. The records of the teams at George Wash- ington should in no way be used to draw comparison to what he may accomplish at Georgetown. Quigley is just the type of man Gieorgetown needs to handle its foot ball affairs, and it is understood that when he takes up the reins it will be with full authority to arrange sched- ules and represent Georgetown In all matters pertaining to foot ball, as well as coach the team. In other words, foot ball at Georgetown is to hecome an all-year proposition, as at the majority of big schools, with Quigley as its responsible head. Well Fitted for Position. And Georgetown would have a hard time finding a better man than Quig- ley to direct its gridiron activities. He is the type of man who commands respect and the kind of fellow “that crbody llkes.” He will, if he final- takes charge at Georgetown, do xreat things in revamping the foot ball schedule. In fact, it {s more than probable that Quigley's influence had no emall part in the arranging of the same with the University of Pennsyl- vania for November 8. And while talking of Georgetown foot ball it might be well to mention that much is bLeing done, in a quiet wiy, toward realigning the whole foot ball system. It is the Intention 10 cut loose from several of the teams that have been played in recent sea- sons and schedule other schools which, generally considered, should prove far more desirable opponents, Roy Waldron, Jim Colliflower, Mur- ray Russell, Johnny Shugrue, the first two successful business men, and the latter prominent doctors, ha been taking an active part in the work of reorganization, and will do much within the next vear or so to give Georgetown the relationships it rightfully should have with other in- stitutions in the sectlon. Would Rectify Mistukes. Mistakes handling of It is not a have bLeen costly, have been made in the thietics at Georgetown. ecret that these mistakes but the men who are taking hold on the Hilltop are not making another mistake by apologizing for mistakes that have been made. They freely admit that mistakes have been made, but they just as freely assert that the same kind of mistakes will not be made again. And those in close touch with the men who are anxious to see Georgetown again _in _competition with other big south Atlantic insti- tutions know that they are men who will not fail to make good what they say. Georgetown will coms through its present situation in regard to its schedules with results highly satis factory to itself and its friends. Too much strength and intelligence lies back of and within the Blue and Gray institution to allow such difficulties as now confront it to be anything more than temporary. In fact, indi- cations are it. will be only a short while before Georgetown will besen- joying the same pleasant relation- ships with other south Atlantic uni- just a short while bac! HIGH SCHOOLS WILL FIGHT TWO-MAJOR-SPORTS RULE BY ARGYLE FINNEY. by the high school principal from representing his school A LTHOUGH the board of education has recommended the adoption s of a rule prohibiting any student in more than two major sports dur- ing a scholastic year, it is not altogether certain this action will be taken. It is understood that a majority of the board of five principals will be rsities and colleges that it enjoyed | mustered to oppose the adoption of such a rule when it is brought to its tention at a meeting Wednesday afternoon. * Several principals are of the opinion that a two-sports law would work to the detriment of interhigh school competition, so far as their particular schools are concerned. They also contend that such a matter should be considered purely an instit: is qualified to participate in more t to his physical well being or classwork should be the principal of his school. It appears that the board of edu- cation's recommendation was made without first consulting the principals as to the advisability of such a rule, for several of the principals have declared they were about the matter and were surprised to learn through the newspapers of what the board had done. It has been hinted that the recommendation i the result of propaganda circulated by an organization indirectly con- nected with one of the high schools, but without the pale of school authority. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of publlc schools, who last year sug- Zested a change in high school ath- Jetics that would hawe abolished for some time inter-high school compe- tition, said today he doubted if any of the principals would oppose the two-major-sports rule. “The new regulation bears out the same idea along which the principals are work- ing for a 1924 physical and athletic program,” he declared. "I belleve the two-major-sports rule is a good thing.” Competition in the high school dasket ball champlonship series will got under way tomorrow afternoon at Central Coliseum. Western and Central will meet in the opening zame, while Eastern will oppose Teoh in the final contest. Jim Colli- fiower will referee in the first fray and Frank Schlosser will umpire. They will exchange positions for the Eastern-Tech engagement. A spirited tilt-is expected In the ‘Western-Central game. Both teams are evenly matched and possess an array of clever performers. Eastern is oonsidered to have a decided edge over Tech. Alexandria High's tosserw _will play host to the Washington Preps tonight in a game starting at 8 o'clock. The Preps have been set- ting a rapid pace this year and are apt to make the going rough for the Virginia Institution. FRENCH DISTANCE RACE CAPTURED BY VERMULEN PARIS, January 7.—Jean Vermulen, former professional runner, recently reinstated as an amateur by the French Athletic Federation, yesterday | won the elghteenth running of Le Monnier cup road race from Ver- saflles to Paris.

TAYLOR WILL CAPTAIN 1924 ANNAPOLIS ELEVEN ANNAPOLIS, Md., January 7.— Midshipman Edmund Battelle Tay- lor of Lima, Ohio, has been elected captain of the 1924 foot ball team. This became known yesterday upon the arrival of the midshipmen from Pasadena, where they met the Uni- versity of Washington on New Year day. The election was held during the return trip. The Navy warriors were given a warm welcome by midshipmen com- rades and academy officers. —_—_— WAKE FOREST GRIDDERS SCHEDULE NINE GAMES WAKE FOREST, N. C., January 7. XNine foot ball games ‘are listed on the 1924 schedule for Wake Forest College, made public here today. The season opens on September 37 with a- game with North Carolina here and closes on November 27 with South Carolina at_Columbia. ‘The schedule: Aoil, Waskingion asd Loe, 8t , Wasl x ton; 18, !Kun. at Tampa; 25, oy lelgh; 27, = 1, Guilferd: 8, Trinity, at Dub Pt AR not questioned | utional affair—that whether a student han two major sports without harm left to the judgment of ARMY IS UNDECIDED AS TO GRID MENTOR According to officfal announcement from West Point, no particular person is being considered as successor to Capt. J. J. McEwan, coach of the 1923 eleven, who has been ordered to foreign service. A report a few days ago was that Maj. Charles D. Daly, head coach from 1813 to 1922, or Capt. Prichard, former star quarterback, would be chosen for the place, but this has been pronounced both ircorrect and unauthorized by Gen. F. W. Sladen, superintendent of the Military Acad- my. Capt. McEwan has been ordered to Porto Rico and already has sailed to take up his new duties there. The 1923 mentor served in a coaching capacity for five years at West Point and his departure is generally re- gretted. N than it turned in during 1923, There is an impression that the tide 1s about to turn in base ball and {hat smart pltehing will be o bigger ‘factor in winning a pennant than it has been since 1919. This impression as strengthened by the work of the New York Yank pitching staff in 1823. Its super-excellence showed that the pitcher cannot be over- looked and discredited by the pre- sumable power of batters Who run up high individual records. The Yankee's comparatively small interest in Dean jwas due to the possession of such a staff. $150,000 Tag on the Pair.

EW YORK, January 7—Dean, the best pitcher of the Louisville base ball club, has been transferred to the New York Nationals, and Combs, star outfielder of the Colonels, has been acquired by the world champion Yankees. The Giants entered the fight for Dean, and outbid their New York rivals, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis and per- | haps two other teams that had been in a receptive mood for Dean, but had not come up to the price Louisville asked. The Giants realize what Moran is doing at Cincinnati to improve his | pitching staff. Pittsburgh also is cognizant of the Cincinnati forward { more for the pennant. The Pirates have taken on Kremer, a pitcher from Oakland, and they are banking on better work from their old staff Quest of something they need. What the Yankees gave up for Combs has not been announced, but it was plen- ty, that is assured. y When it was .learned that the Glants had entered the bidding it was predicted they would sidetrack every ono else, because if the player was eateemed to be worth having the Glants would run all clubs out of the com- petition, exactly as they have pushed them out of the way in the past. O'Connell and Bentley both are ex- amples of players secured by New York by riding the opposition to a fall. The opportunity for Dean in the National nguc is great. The Gilants haven't a pitcher who can be called a star on the strength of h 1938 work, and yet the combination of pitching that 'was maneuvered by McGraw held the team through the fight. If Dean cangbecome a leader he will inspire Ryafi, and until Neht breaks down positively there Is no one that will believe he is through. Combs has a chance to displace Witt in the middle garden for the Yanks BILL QUIGLEY. CIRCLE CLUB EPIPHANY EAGLE QUINT) M court. MAY TEST .

Not more than five men should work at each basket. The baskets with the eighteen-inch extensions are valuable to encourage clean shoot- ing, as the player cannot rely ¢n the backboard for a hope shot or a re- bound. The regulation baskets with the backboards are to be used for regu- lar carom and rebound work. In basket shooting practice the coach should detail each squad of five to some capable assistant, in order that each man may get careful individ- ual training in the development of correct technique in the fundamen- tal shots, the push, loop or arch shot, the underhand or free throw shot, the one-hand English or fol- low shot and the hook or place shot.
