two touchdowns. II was a Glenn game,
however, and no rouRh work was fndulged
in. Catholic Hiali's first score came In
the first-period when one OF Mahoneys
punts was blocked and Cunningham fell
on the ball behind the goal hne. The
second touchdown was the result Of II
series Of brilliant line srnashes by Olaae-
colt. Dullivan and HUNT. Glascott finally
going over from the b-yard line.
One thing brought out in the game was
that la Sale Is composed OF a bunch Of
nervy players who play hard until the
final whistle blows with the score OF IA

than ever. and twice held Catholic High

Mahoney was the star of the game. bot
O'Neill and Elser pushed him closely for
the honors. Sullivan and Captain Glass

Poor generalship on the part Of sheehan
was largely responsible for La Sales
defeat. He was only played the position
in two games, however. and probably will
improve before the season Is over. Once
he became so fiustered that he called for
a fake place kick when the ball was on
his own 20-yard line. or 50 yards from
the goal posts. Catholic High refused to
be deceived, however. and the play was
not a success, Perhaps they thought that
Mahoney couldn't kick so yards.
The man who runs toward his own goal
line and makes a score for the other side
always gets big laugh, and we gener-
ally chortle a couple of times during the
season. Although rather late. the old
stun was put on yesterday afternoon
when Elser intercepted a forward pass
and. after turning around a couple of
times, started for the goal line with a
clear field ahead of him. The Catholic
High players refused to allow an out
slider to score for their, team. however,
and Elser's good intentions were nipped
in the bud when he was tackled from
behind. Outside Of this Elser played
good game " ''' 80
