John Tobin who coached the boys this season will act in the same capacity next year. Saul Waskowitz will assist the man- agement. The unanimous sentiment in Wash- ington, D. C. among the students at| Georgetown University, is for the elec-1 tion of William F. Curtin of this city | as manager of the football team for| the 1917 season. It is believed that the local boy will have no oppasition when the election date arrives. As as sistant manager this season, Mr. Cur- tin proved his worth as a leader of | the financial interests of the team. | While a student at the High school, Curtin was ldentified with athletics in a business capacity, and it was there that he showed the evidences of his capabilities as helmsman for the financial ship of baseball and football aggregations. The Georgetown eleven of 1916 was ranked among the foremost of Eastern elevens. One of their players, Gilroy, hes been named by many of the ex- perts as an All-American player. The election of a captain was held Satur day, Mitchell Wall of Everett, Mass., being the choice. Prospects for next season are very bright, the team losing few players of this season's crack ag- gregation. FSTABLISHFD A RECORD. Joseph Cronin, wha was considered Owls' Ducks Hawks Eagles .
