Summing mp the game in nutshell.
the visitors knew Just little more foot
ban than did Catholic University, and
tie superior weight Of the line was q
tremendous advantage. but Coach Nc
Dewitt deserves 4 lot Of praise for his
work the past week when he nodded to-
gether something that resembled foot
ball team from Q demolished. panic-stric-
ken bunch. the result Of bitter defeat
handed them by Rock Hill only last
Saturday. AcDevitt has taught the
Catholics a lot Of football during the
past six days. and the team win be
heard from before the season In many
weeks older.
Both teams used old Dartmouth forma-
tions. wing and line shifts. but Villa
Dova's backs started quicker and were
given more Eelp from the line than was
Catholic University. Fred Crolius. a
Dartmouth alumnus. has coached the
visitors for years until this season. and
the men are using his plays. AcDevitt.
the Brookianders tutor. who 10 also 4
Dartmouth man. prescribed similar plays
for Catholic University.
When it came to following the hall

going over the goal line in the corner Of
the field.
The other touchdowns by the visitors
were the result Of good broken-fieid
running by Forst Both sprints were for
so yards or more, and started from clev-
cACCulco 6ptib P10ys. Q
Mcdonnell. the sOrrel-topped half back
of the Brooklanders, was the individual
star for the losers. Mcdonnell put up
great defensive game and was the only
consistent ground gamer.
In the third quarter Catholic Univer-
sity was able to keep it's goal line from
being crossed, and in this period put Up
its best game.
Swift Makes Long Ran.
One of the best plays Of the contest
occurred in the first period, when villa
nova was ripping the BrooklanderT line
to pieces and carrying the ball toward the
goal line 10 yards At q crack. Suddenly
the pigslxin slipped out Of visiting half
backs arms. Swift gathered Il up In .
hurry. and sprinted like mad toward the
Villanova goal Right at Swift's heels
came Splain. the Villanova captain and
veteran end. and with flying tackle he
brought down Swift on the 1.-yard line.
and four trials failed to gain q touch
down. A forward pass on the fourth at
tempt sent the ball spinning over the
goal line, but villanova's backs were
expecting the trick and the ball was In
tercepted.
Short periods, the first two I. minutes
and the two final rounds 10 minutes each.
were agreed upon owing to the warm
weather
