LES|ANUM WORKS
ON AERIAL ATTACK
Coach MalJoy's Players Given
Light Workout at Har-
Ian Field.

With a cold. snappy breeze that |
put pep and real play In them. the |
Saleslan grldders got under way Tues
day at Harlan Field for the first time
this week. The workout was not OF
strenuous nature because Nearly all
OF tho players were a little sore from
| the bumps of Saturdays game.
There was one phase. however, that
the Catholic Highlets passed most of
! the afternoon in. namely. forward
passing. This department OF the
grIdlron sport Will play an important
part in every days practice this week.
1t win be through the aerial route. IL
through any, that the Eighth and
West Streets gridlronlsts win be able
TO make yardage against the formid-
able st. Joe's Prep, Friday. at Hsr-
Ian Field. II was interesting 70 witness
the clever way in which Captain
Red" Doian, Boob" Lowell, Bill Nc
Mahon and stump" Grant executed
the forward passes. Each of the three
young stars worked with a precision
that clearly revealed how we'll they
had the knack of receiving the ball
from RED" Dolan. Mcmahon seems
10 have natural ability in this line OF
play. for he has n mode OF getting the
ball all his own.
Coach Malloy, besides drilling his
men in passes. gave them a few plays
to work out lightly. The Reserves
were lined up against the Varsity, so
; that the latter might execute the
plays in n suitable way. Tho touch
method OF tackllng was adopted by
the boys. since that saved them ac-
cidcntally receiving injuries.
l. The Catholic High has had two
, faithful tacklers In Ed" Fahey and
Joe" Russo this season on It's line

, one game this season. particularly in
y Saturdays fracas. Russo is a new
