  Georgetown May Lose COaChEXendineBefOre Another SeasOnC Comes Glenn Warner Suggests Hilltoppers’ Tutor to Sue ceed Him With Carlisle Squad of 19l5-Blue and Gray Makes Good in Great Clash With w. and J. With Georgetown on the threshold Of bigger football glories, it is pos sible that the man whose brain has put the Blue and Gray sports on the map will be lost. According to advices received here today from Car Isle, Albert A. Exerdine, head coach CT The Hilltop, may be named to sue ceed Glenn S. Warner. The George town coach played end at Carlisle in his school days and is considered by Warner “the best equipped football coach available to follow me here with the Indian athletes” Exendine, who is practicing at torney in Oklahoma when not coach ing football players, is expected to receive the call to Carlisle within a day or so. Glenn Warner will take Up his duties at Pittsburgh Univer sity on January /, and the authorities at the Government school want E&endine to be ready to jump right intp action with the new year. Georgetown has Exendine working neie under a one-year contract, which ooInes to an end with the passing OF the present football campaign. He will be free as soon as the Gallaudet contest is over on Thanksgiving Day. IL is not known Just what his answer will De to the Carlisle author. ties, or what Georgetown will do III the way OF get m tn succeed him hpvf II lie is allowed TO get away. The success of Exendine at George town has been remarkable. He has whipped a squad consisting largely Of freshmen into a defensive machine that nas fought some of the strongest eleyens in the East to a standstili. Handicapped by q lack of heavy backs, he has been compelled to pay most OF his attention 10 the line and he has ore OF the best of the season. OF a quiet, unassuning nature, the famous Indian end of other days has made large nurlber of friends since coming to the Capital and. If he goes to, Carlisle next year. he will be missed here. III Georgetown’s future depended upon its performances against w. and j.. Lne Hilitoppers have little to worry aoout today. Bob Foiwen came TO Georgetown Field. thinking to pull out his varsity men after the first period 10 save them for Bucknen and Rue ;sers. Instead, those regulars had the nght of their lives to keep from being beaten. Had the Blue and Gray pos sessed a heavy attack. there Is no tell Ing what the result might have been | r’or Georgetown to hold Washington { and jefferson to IA TO score Is equivalent 20 q victory. Two touchdowns were chalked UP fos’ the Pennsylvanians, but half the con- | test had gone before Spiegel got away for a short, jumping. lodging run around his left end bringing the ball ,nto position for scoring With the inc quickly McCreight was hurled into The line on three smashing plays that .hoved the fullback over for touch | down. 1t happened so quickly that the | zig crowd seemed da2ed for moment 1 Shortly after the ensuing kickoff | McCreight, broke through the line and (, gal oped forty-hve yards for touch ! down Without interference ne raced ! or. sidestepp!ng Cainan with ease.
