Dopester Shows, on Paper, Why
Downey's Eleven Will Be
1919 Grid Champion
ST. JOE COUNTED TO HELP
by PAUL PREP

La Sale Prep will have won the
Catholic school championship when the
whistle sounds bringing close to the
1919 grid campaign. according to
one of the teams constituents. Here's s
the way he dopes it out:
"La SaSe's 9-6 victory over st. Joe
Saturday puts the Blue and Gold in a
fine position to win the Catholic cham
pionship. Several weeks ago st. Jo-
seph's and Villanova Prep played Il
scorelcss tie. Now that la Sale de-
feated st. Joe all that remains for the
former to do is win from West Phila e
dclphia Catholic High; but, in the
meantime st. Joe must win or at least
tie Roman Catholic High"
No Game With Catholic
This same La Sale constituent says
that an open date was kept for Cath =
olic High. but Coach Glcndon S team
was unable to find room on its schedule
for the Blue and Gold, for some reason
or other. Despite this. La Sale still
will be able 10 claim the title providing,
of course. Catholic Highs team fails
against st. zoe.
La Sale is deserving of more credit
for it's victory over st. Joe. despite the
narrow margin of but three points, ac-
cording to Coach Downey. He says sew
eral of his players went into the fracas
hardly in fit fettle to play their best
game. Mcbride. who started at end,
was handicapped by "a bad ankle. and
he had to leave the field after the first
quarter. Other players hurt before
the contest were Callahan, center, and
Poppert. fullback.
Plays With Broken Wrist
Poppert played throughout the gam,
with a broken wrist. while his bootine
foot Handicapped him greatly because
of bruised toe. Callahan's playing a'
the snap back position was short of re
markable owing to bad arm. 1t was
his first game for two weeks. having
been put on the injured list after the
Media mix.
Coach Downey was highly elated witt
his new backfield find. The new dis
covery is Brennan, who was removed
from the line to one of the halfbacl

sistent ground gamer against st. Joe
