Jefferson High School at Lafayette.
Last season no high school team in
the State developed a better forward
pass attack than did Cathedral. The
team this season is playing modern
football, but it was evident from the
way they ran their plays at Wash
ington Park that they have not
overlooked the value of a driving
line attack with oss-buclIs in which
the interference is perfectly lcrmed.

There were twenty-six players on

but just as soon as the school opens
next Wednesday this number will
be increased to more than forty.
Frank McCarty, a tall athlete and

Coach Feeney was hard hit by los

to continually keep after his new
