For instance, last year, when Mary

they saw line-ups of the teams pub

$50 pounds. There was considerab BILE
discussion among them over the i'm

4 rather novel innovation will be
staged by Maryland Saturday be-
tween the halves of the Richmond
game, in the shape of a push ball
game. This probably is the first time
such a contest has been attempted
In connection with gridiron con-
test, and Its result will be watched
with considerable interest. The game
will be between fifty picked men
from the sophomore class and fifty
from the freshman. and the ball with
which it Is to be played is six feet
in diameter and heavy enough to
knock an ordinary man who gets in
Its path head over heels.
Director of Athletics Charley Moran
for the first time in his life seems
optimistic over an outlook for an
thing for Catholic University foot
ball. Any time Charley admits that
things look bright one may be-sure
they really are bright. Just listen
TO the way he talks Of the prospects
of the. gridiron team which wears
the colors of the Brookianders and
which opens its season Saturday with
Randolph Macon:
we are going to win some foot ball
games this fall. Not only that. but
A little weaB.in reserve strength,
but good team, nevertheless. In

been working the squad hard. and for

physical condition. We always have
had some good players. but this year
were going to have a team that will
win some games. r
Kecnnn, a guard at Washington Col
lege, over on the eastern shore of

has been bringing his Kendall Green

ball to make "a respectable showing

Tigers at Princeton Saturday. This

Golsen and Minihan have been tried,
