ZACHARY OUT OF It
Quarterback Will Be Missed at
Catholic University.
MANY OTHER CANDIDATES
Brooklanders Think They Will Have
Strongest Eleven in Schools
History.

For the first time in the history of
athletics at the Catholic University have
both faculty and students shown signs of
trying to make foot ball major sport. In
past years. because of the apparent
danger in it. the faculty has not been
in favor of the game, but since the new
rules brought forth decrease in fatalities
and injuries they gave their earnest con-
eideration of it and decided to do all In
their power to place c. U. on plane with
the other big universities of the country.
Charles =. Maloney. the hustling man
aver. is leaving no stone unturned in
making preparations for the opening prac-
tice. which is scheduled for Wednesday
next Manager Maloney has devoted his
entire time for the past ten days in get
ting things in readiness. A charging sled
and tackling dummy designed after the
ones used by Glenn Warner at Carlisle
have been secured. The rector has prom
ised TO have the field inclosed and also
new box office constructed.
Zachary Loss.
Zachary will not in all probability be
able to play this season. as he has had
very bad case of tonsilitis. When seen
a few days ago he looked to be fully ten
pounds under weight. His father has re-
ouested him not to play, and he states
that he will comply with the request. To
lose a quarterback of Zachary's type
means a great setback to the team. For
The past two years he has been the star
in nearly every battle. McDevitt will have
10 develop a man to fill Zachary's shoes,
but there will be plenty of back Held ma
terial on hand.
MCCARTHY, who halls from Bridgeport.
viii enter the university and will be a
candidate for the back field Last year
Mccarthy was a star player at FL Paso
Military Academy. 1t Is not at all un-
he has had a great deal of experience in
that position. He comes to c. L. highly
recommended.
Head Coach McDev.tt is now in New
York attending the foot ball meeting be-
ing held In that city. He has written
Manager Maloney that he would leave
there early Tuesday morning for this city
Tuesday afternoon he and his assistant,
John Greer, will confer as to the system
of coaching and the style OF play to be
used. Capt. Blewett will be In town in a
few days. He has written Manager Ma
loney and says he is ready for work, and
In In the pink of condition. Capt. Blewett
will most likely be seen IN his old posi-.
ton at fullback unless q heavier man
shows UP, whereupon ne Will be shifted
to one Of the halfback positions. 1t will
not De at all unnhely thdt lorIiier hdii :
hack and ex-Capt. Clancy will be placed
at quarter to fill the vacancy left by
Zachary.
Assistant Manager Not to Return.
Peter Scully of Albany. n. Y, who was
last year elected assistant manager, has
written Manager Maloney that he will
not return to the university. He is TO
enter Donwoodie. Yonkers n. Y, to study
for the priesthood
This will necessitate the calling of a
special meeting of the athletic associa-
ton, which will be done the first day
the university opens, for the purpose .
electing q man to fill the position.
