Catholic University won four
games and lost four during the
1928 campaign. The Brooklanders
certainly did not pick weaklings,
either, in making up their
schedule. They Dattled Mullen
berg one Of the toughest of the
secondary Pennsylvania elevens,
They tackled "Curly" Byrd's
strong Maryland eleven. They
went down to Roanoke and faced
the strong Roanoke College team.
They went up to Providence, R.
J., and met Providence University.
Muhlenberg defeated c.. IT,, 16
to IL, in the last five minutes of
play, and only after Lynch, the
Brooklanders' backfield ace, was
injured. Muhlenberg's class may
be inferred when it is seen that
Lehigh defeated it, ID to 3, and
Bucknell, IA to 6, practically the
same score by which the Lewis
burg outfit conquered Georgetown.
Nevertheless, that little band of
Brooklanders were leading until
the last five minutes of play,
when Muhlenberg managed to
shove over their winning touch
down.
It is unnecessary to tell Wash
ingtonians much about the Mary
land team. Victories over Penn
sylvania, North Carolina, Rich
mond, and North Carolina State,
with that great battle in the
Yale Bowl, will not soon be for
gotten. Yet Catholic University's
little squad was on the short end
Of a 14-to-7 score at the end of
the first half, and when Denault
was injured in that half had to
pull! Carrigan out of the line to
replace him.

KRAuss- TURToN REPEAT

Harry Krauss and Frank Turton

Kellerman and Hayes started

The visit of the football team to
the Pacific coast. however. Is a de-
velopment of the liberal policy os
the three most recent superin-
tendents of the Naval Academy,
Rear Admirals Edward w Eberle,
A II. Scales and Henry B. Wilson.
! All Of these favored a few trips by
each Navy athletic team to the
campus of its opponents. It was
clear that the Naval Academy could
not expect to meet leading teams
without giving a return game. and
it was also believed that the trips
to other institutions had broaden
ing effect.
The trip to the Pacific coast,
however, went far beyond anything
which had been anticipated. 1t was
found, however, that the trip could
be arranged by the players giving
No their Christmas vacation so that
there would be very little inter,
ference with studies. After com
sidering every angle of the matter
Admiral Wilson approved the plan.
Admiral Wilson was also glad
30 give the officers and men of
the Pacific fleet an opportunity
Of seeing the Naval Academy
team of this year. Also. he felt
that there would be an OppOr-
tulIity for the residents OF the
Pacific slope to see a represen-
tatiye body Of midshipmen under
favorable circumstances, and that
these things would be Of benefit
20 the service in general.
The invitation from the Tourna-
1nent of Roses Association was for
., game between the Naval Acad-
envy and the champion team of the
Pacific slope. The University Of
California, of course, qualified under
this arrangement, but declined to
accept the invitation. The Univer-
sity of Washington then accepted
the request to meet the Naval
Academy eleven.
There was no particular reason
why the Naval Academy should de-
cline to play the game because they
were not opposed by the best team
of the Pacific clope. though the
athletic policy of the Naval Academy
IL to seek as hard opposition as pos
sible, regarding this as the only way
to raise it's own standard. Still, the
Naval Academy had no claim on first
place in the East, and there is every
reason to believe that Washington
will be worthy foe in every way.
1t also happened that Washington
was the only institution in that Sec
ton that had come into touch with
the Academy through the meeting of
sis athletic representatives in any
line. This was through the participa-
ton Of the crews of the two schools
in the Poughkeepsie regatta of last
year and the year before. The first
race was won by the Naval Academy,

Both We're Tackles.

ID 9TH Gormley and Hegarty
were all-South Atlantic
tackles at Georgetown
University. Both were big
they're much bigger now-~both
were stronghold were fast.
Hegarty captained the Hilltop
pers in 1912, and the next three
years saw him coaching the pitt
fully small squad at North Caro-
lima State. The Raleigh team
has not had SO good a coach
since. His team registered VIC
tories over Georgetown in rs,
and the Naval Academy in 10,
besides playing a tie with
Georgetown, Z to z, in IA.
Gormley, who followed Hegarty
at Georgetown, is a new coach.
He has devoted about all his at
tention to the forwards at Brook
land, their strong defensive play
featuring the work Of the team
all year.
Hegarty took charge of the
backfield and the general often
sive play. This is his strong
point. With a handful of play
ers he turned out an offense
that could score 81 points as
against II for all opponents,
with those opponents including
Maryland, Roanoke, Muhlenberg
and Providence College, not to
mention Washington College and
George Washington.

It's Grinding Task.

IT'S a grinding job, coaching
a small squad which must
up against strong opposition.
Injuries count double. Illness is
tragedy. Yet Gormley and
Hegarty stayed right on their
job, bringing Catholic Uni
versity's season to a successful
close.
Efforts are being made at C..
u. to bring out more candidates
for the varsity football team
next year. 1t is hoped these eff
forts will be successful. This
season the first eleven was fully
80 per cent better than the SUBJ
stitutes, yet there were times
when those substitutes had to
go in and do their best.
Much is being made of the
Hilltoppers' unhappy season, but
there were two backs on the Hill
for every one out at Brookland.
Five backs wore C. u. uniforms
this year, and two of them, the
stars, Denault and Lynch, grad
uate in the spring.
Jack Hegarty, as backfield
coach, faces a most difficult task
of whipping a backfieId into
shape for next year. If he sue
ceeds, he will be as much of a
miracle man" as Dobie or
Rockne.
C. U. is lucky in having two
coaches taught the same style
of football and able to work 20
gether so we'll in teaching it to
others younger than themselves.
Team work is necessity in
football, and it counts Just as
much among the coaches as the
players. Tom Gormley and
Jack Hegarty, the two Hilltop
pers, are that team.
