The Catholic University eleven is
showing a lot of improvement. accord
ing to Director of Athletics Charley
Moran. The team as whole Is devel-
oping rapidly on the offensive and de-
fensive. and in its remaining contests
should be able to put up strong fights
Says Moran, relative to the prospects
of the Brooklanders:
while i hardly hope for the team to
accomplish anything wonderful this
season it looks very much as though
we will get at least an even break IN
our games. The eleven showed a lot
of Improvement from the time we
played NJ A c. till We met St. Johns.
and there is every reason to believe
that the progress will be just as steady
in the future The offense and defense
were much stronger and the team as
whole looked better than any other
Catholic University aggregation l have
ever seen. Somebody may be surprised
before the season Is over, we a, have va q
good line and two pretty falr ENDS.
Our backfield has been a little weak,
but with Dobbins and Dougherty be-
hind the line it looks much more pow
erful.
I'VE play Eillanova this Saturday.
and while we may not yin from that
experienced team, better showing
than usual will be made. ou can bank

of our prospects for another year that
would like very much to schedule
contest with Georgetown.
A practice scrimmage has been ar
ranged between the Business High
School and the Maryland Aggies for
today. If the high school team agrees.
it is more than likely that regular
contest will be played with the Farm
ers reserves. The Aggies have several
inexperienced but rather heavy men on
their second squad who need to get
some of the real play TO develop. and
elevens is about the only way they
will ever become acquainted with con-
iitions as they are in 4 regular con-
test.

Jack Hegarty, former Georgetown

efeating the Blue and Gray again this
