The trouble with Johnny
Bozek, the flashy Georgetown
University footballer, is not
physical. So believes DIR.
James A. Cahill, jr., one OF
the city's leading surgeons,
who operated on Bozek for ap-
pendicitis in mid-July. DR..
Cahill graduated from the
Georgetown Medical School in
1915, and is connected with the
Providence Hospital staff.
Bozek, upon his return from the
Hilltop camp at Wildwood, N j., re-
ported to DR.. Cahill for final exam
nation and the surgeon has pro-
nounced him fit for play, stating
he could perform against ut. s..
Mary's Saturday at the Clark Crit
fifth Stadium If Head Coacn Lou
Little finds it expedient.
s'BOzek's trouble is the fear that
he won't be able to show his old
form rather than any effect
from the cut" expressed DIR.
CaniII while discoursing on the
case. 'He can play Saturday,
needed, for the wound has healed
properly.
"Many thought that Bozek was
stricken suddenly with acute APP
pendicitis. It was chronic condi-
ton of the appendix and was re-
moved to eliminate the chance that
an acute attack would mean his
loss to Georgetown during the foot
ball season."
1t can also be added that DR..
Cahil. realizing that the Blue and
GRAY was depending upon Bozek,
was delicate with the knife. eau
tious not to sever any stomach
muscles.
Despite DR.. Cahills statement,
Bozek himself admits that he views
his 1928 football days with little
hone. He is apparently worried and
only his first appearance in game
will tell whether or not he Will flash
the class that made him famous at
Gonzaga High.
Head Coach Jack McAuliffe
and his small band of Catholic
University warriors will de-
part Thursday night for BOs-
ton. Mass, where ON Saturday
afternoon the Cardinals stack
up against the Boston College
Eagles. The embarI1ing squad
will number about "a players.
Head Coach Jack McAuliffe and
Trainer Teddy Mitchell. Assist:
ant Coach Edmund LaFOnd
may remain behind to scout
American University, which
opposes Gettysburg College at
Gettysburg. Pa.
Jack Malevich, husky fullback,
and Ed O'Brien, tackle, are nursing
injuries, but it is believed they
will start against the Eagles. Male
Vich. a handy man for backing up
the line and giving interference, is
troubled with a weak knee. O'Brien,
who played fullback on the Fresh
man eleven last fall, is bothered by
a turned ankle. Coach McAuliffe,
finding that he needed hnemen
this year, has decided to use OBrien
at tackle. In case Malevich is
unable to play against the Eagles,
Captain Jim Schmidt will be switched
from halfback to fullback and Jerry
Healy. a substitute, filling in at
Captain Schmidt's halfback station.
Tex Smith will play in event
O'Brien is not fit.
Neither Malevich nor O'Brien
were used in Saturdays scrimmase
with Tody Riggs heavier st. John
team of Annapolis, Md.
Mike Durso. the center, showed
up particularly we'll, especially in
smashing st. Johns flying wedge
play on the kickoff. Often 1t was
Durso who piled up this play, with
the result that the ball.carrier was
boxed" by his own interference
However, the play was worked
on one occasion for a touch
down, the runner sitting through
the pile and cutting across the
field.
Capt. Jim Schmidt and Joe
Champa tore off some neat runs
before they were finally earthed.
Gene Murphy Tipped several lengthy
passes that were completed, but
Moon Mullins and George MencAo,
the =. y. SudFuS, were eHllIely kOO
slow in leaving their posts on run
ming guard plays
Boston fans will gaze upon TWO
scrappy ends in Oscar Gerth and
Ross Zeno. Gerth tips the beams
at 1877 pounds, but he's game to
the core and is loaded with the Old
fighting spirit. Zeno is another
serappy wingman, although ne
scales between 165 and 10 pounds
They are unlike the rangy ends
found today, but are small. Yet
one would believe they use base
ball gloves so adept are they ir
taking passes. And once they
grab long heaye, it can be marked
as a touchdown as they are light
ming fast.
