attack. 1t would seem that its main
reliance in the Yale game will be
just such a method Of advancing the
ball. Yale has two good passes. but
does not depend on them especially,
except to drive back opposing backs,
and that purpose is thus served max

running attack to succeed. With such
backs as Yale has, no line, unless
closely supported by its backs, is GO

Charley Moran Of Catholic Uni
versity is one athletic director who
is strong for playing the biggest
teams he can schedule in foot ball,
as well as in other sports. For years
Moran in arranging his schedule in
base ball has played the biggest col
lege teams in the country, and has
won more than his share of the
games. However. it is true that
good many foot bail coaches are not
overly anxious to play teams that are
too strong. as it usually affects their
won-and-lost record too much. But,
as Moran says, When you play
somebody who is somebody, then
when you do accomplish something
YOU get some credit for it.
