Day by day the football out

The latest stimulant for the Cath.

Under the scheme of offense that
c. u. will employ this year there
will be little distinction among any
of the backs. The team will gather
in a huddle. from which all plays
will be called by the quarterback.
After the play is selected the
center rushes up on the ball while
the rest of the lnemen take their
places on the counting system.
After a stationary rest, complying
with the one second rule, the play
starts, and any one Of the backs
may carry the ball.
II OConnor develops into a regu.

other sophs will be used as a unit

will see plenty of action, and, with
out doubt, they'll be known as
the pony backfield. Oliver will
direct the pony quartet, with Kane
and DeMello the halves, ana
Guarnari, more than likely, the
fullback.
In order to gain more speed in
the backfield, though, the c. u.
coaches may groom OConnor as
Malevich's understudy at fullhack.
Malevich was injured often last
year, but his changed style of ball
carrying this year may avert trou-
BILE. Instead of running with his
head down as he did in the past.
Malevich is carrying the ball with
his eyes open and head up so that
he can pick his holes better and
thus avoid many unnecessary col
Hsions.
