SPORTS. Virginia Looks for FEELS BETTER COACHING; SURE TO OBTAIN RESULTS Convinced It Has Depended Too Much on Younger Men and Has Added an Experienced Mentor. Georgetown Nine in Action Today. BY H. C. BYRD., LOOK for next year to be one of the most successful the Uni- versity of Virginia has ever had in athletics,” said Jimmy Driver, athletic director at Virginia, this morning shortly after his arrival here to look after some matters pertaining to his “Not only do we have prospects of better material than usual, but I believe our coaching staff will be able to We are getting our athletic organi- ation in working order and it is my thought that some real results will begin to show next Fall in the foot ball team.” Driver's statement came as answer to a question concerning his view of prospects at Virginia for next year’s foot ball team. well known that Virginia, for instance in basket ball, has had just 1 as any school, and better than the great 6« l university's sports program. handle it much more effectively. about as good mate. majority, but has neve. got the most out of it. a widely experienced backfield coach would have helped Earl Abel a lot in handling the gridiron squad last Fall, and it was in regard to these matters that Driver was questioned and, incidentally, such questions were nof, easy for him to reply to directly, as one or two of be replaced are his personal friends, for whom he has the highest regard and admiration. “We have about come to the conclu- Witz of New York University, “that Virginia | Tardugno faces Stupps of Penn State. the men who are sion,” continued Driver, | has depended in the past too much on | young coaches who have not been out of school long enough to get the experi- ence necessary to enter the kind of col _ petition they have to meet. In my opi fon there is no competition in any pre fession in all the world so keen and so killing as in college coaching, especially foot ball. Virginia, in my opinion, has needed more experienced men to handle basket ball and backfield candidates in foot ball, and I think we have about solved that problem in obtaining the services of Gus Tebell, former Wiscon- sin man who has been at North Caro- lina State the last five years. “Our coaching staff now seems to me | to be one of the best in the East and | certainly just as good as any in the | South. Head Coach Abel is a brilliant line coach and knows how to handle a foot ball squad. He felt that he needed an experienced backfield coach and we got him one in Tebell. Abel and Tebell should make just about as good a pair to handle foot ball as any school has. “ Then, for the last years Tebell has been ized as one of the two or three best basket ball coaches in the South. With the material Virginia has, ‘Tebell will turn ‘out real teams. Archie Hahn, who was coaching track and training the s at Princeton before he came to ia this year, is a good coach and Virginia will surprise a good many for wrestling and boxing. All in all our coaching staff represents to me not only an excellent personnel from & professional viewpoint, but also they are just about as fine fellows personally as one could want to umieet. “ look for our foot ball team to come through much better riext Fall. We had a lot of things to shape up last seasno, and we shall be more ready to go ahead ‘when we begin practice next September. Our material is likely to be good. unless we lose some men through scholastic failures or for some other reason. It Jooks to me as if we ought to have one of the greatest backfields in the South. ‘Thomas is a fine back. ant has won- derful possibilities, and Beuhrer also has a great future on the gridiron, and all of them weigh around 180 pounds or_more. “Possibly, T am a little too optimistic about our general sthletic situation, but ¥ this is the way I look at it, and I see no harm in saying so.” The same team that represented | town in its match with Buck- nell Saturday night is to wear the Blue and Gray in the intercollegiate boxing chamj ips, which begin at Phila- tomorrow. This means that the team will line up with Charley McAllis- ter ‘in the 115 pound class, Mike Tar- dugno in the 125, Henry Murphy in the 135, Charley Pish in the 145, Jack Tier- in the 160.

The Blue and Gray squad left last night for a three-game trip, which covers the con- test today, another tomorrow with Wake Forest and the last. Saturday with Guil- ford. It was announced before the team left that in all probability the in- field would be made up of Mooney at first, Scalzi at second, Dunn at short and probably Morris at third. Either Bozek or Kilgallen is to play right field, with the two other position taken care of by McCarthy and Wholey. Donovan is likely to do_the catching in the game wdlky. with Noznesky doing the slab work.

MARCH 20, 1930. BEATING EASTERN, THOUGH, BIG TASK Hardell, However, Thinks He Has a Chance—Central’s Athletes Busy. E yet given up hope of winning the annual Spring public high school championship meet in May. He admits that the task of stopping Eastern from sweeping to its second straight victory is a mighty large or- der. Such an achievement is possible, however, he believes. Even with Jake Edwards, sprinter and shotputter on the job, Tech succumbed to Eastern in the chlmfilemhlp games last Spring, 48 to 50. This season with only a few really certain point-getters on_the squad, notably Al Reichman, half miler, and Ed Quinn, sprinter, Tech does not appear nearly so im- pressive as the team which upheld the Gray a campaign ago. On the other hand, Eastern unques- tionably has a stronger combination than last year—in fact, the best ever to represent the Light Blue on the track and one of the best to carry the colors of a public high school here in recent ears. v Eastern’s team is well balanced, hav- ing power both in the running and fleld events. ‘There is no question that if Tech is to regain the title it lost to Eastern last season it has & big job. It may be that Central will take some points away from the Lincoln Parkers. In the final anal- ysis, though, it appears from this dis- tance a safe wager that Eastern will win the championship with more or less ease. Despite heavy losses through gradua- tion and scholastic ineligibility, Coach Louis J. (Ty) Rauber is hopeful of de- veloping a capable Central High base | ball nine. Rauber is coaching the Blue diamond squad for the first time. Frank Cumberland, second baseman, | who was at first declared ineligible, but LMER P. (HAP) HARDELL, ‘Tech High track coach, has not Tennis “cue’ FISHING TACKLE GROCE'S 11th & E Sts. N.W. SPORTS. has made up his studies, is the only ex- perienced infielder on the squad. Capt. George Brandt, who played third bas last Spring, is ineligible at least for the current advisory period because of class room difficulties, Central's practice so far has been confined to light work, but within a few days hard toil will start. White, an outfielder, is the only play- er, in addition to Cumberland and Brandt, who was on last season's team and is still in school. Others making a strong bid for berths include Broadbent and Goucher, first basemen; De Veau and Harrison, short. stops; De Lisio and Thompson, outfield ers; Embrey, Kiernan and Waldermaler, catchers, and Young, Megby and Chil- dress, pitchers. Central High tracksters will get their first competition of the season Friday, April 11, in the annual interclass meet sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Asso- clation at the Columbia Heights School. The Blue later plans to be represented in the Penn relays, University of Mary- land interscholastics, Princeton inter- scholastics, the “C” Club games and the public high meet. Among leading members of the Cen- tral squad are Capt. Russ Lampson, Grover Naylor, Mex Feldman, Paul Hinkel, Bill Howard, Eddie Sullivan. Freddy Coleman, St. John, Cliff Smith and Larry Pinckney. The line-plung- ing exploits of Pinckney on the foot ball field last Fall are still fresh in the minds of fans. He appears also to have ability as a sprinter and shotputter. Calvin Milans, high jumper, and Jim Proctor, pole vaulter, are crack per- formers who have been lost by Central. WHITNEY HORSE TO RUN. WANTAGE, England, March 20 (®). —Jack Anthony, trainer, today said that Easter Hero, J. H. Whitney's noted steeplechaser, was a certain runner for the Grand National, March 28. BAGGETT IS_ CAPTAIN.
