HOLD EVERYTHING!
By Joe Holman

Having already lined up Bos-
ton College and Holy Cross for
early-season games, Catholic
University's football powers are
now attempting to schedule a
stsndout 1881 home attraction.
1t is understood that the Car
dinals would prefer closing a
game with a Southern eleven.
Virginia, Duke, Washington and
Lee or North Carolina-any Of
these would be welcomed on
Catholics schedule.
If the truth is known, how.
ever, it is likely that the Red
Birds would much rather estab-
liSh football relations with the
University of Maryland.
Catholic U. and Maryland al
ready are meeting in basketball
and track. And, since a grid.
iron get-together between these
institutions would undoubtedly
click the turnstiles and also
arouse unusual interest, there is
reason to believe that they will,
sooner or later, get together
possibly by 1881.
Athletic Director Dutch Berg
man is doing everything in his
power to promote athletics at the
Brookland college. And, IS i n e
football is the outstanding college
sport, he naturally Is centering
much of his attention in that di-
rection. .....
For one thing he intends
installing flOOdlights In the
BrookIand Bowl another year !"
that is If he is sufficiently
impressed by Saturday nights
CathOlic-LOyOla night game
at the Griffith Stadium.
In the event the Stadium is
lighted it will be available not
only for football games but for
track meets and civic entertain
ment. It probably would not
prove a paying proposition the
first year because of the expense
attached to the installation of
arc lights, but would undoubtedly
develop into a paying proposition
in time.
One argument in favor Of such
a move would be the revenue de-
rived from night play. Bergman,
quite naturally. is anxious to
build up his eleven'S schedule
within the next several years.
And f1oodligl1t football seems his
best financial bet toward accom-
pliShing this end.
Assured Of q flat guarantee
there Is reason to believe that
Catholic could schedule either
Holy Cross or Boston College,
IL not both, for 1882. And, II
his 1891 receipts warrant It,
Athletic Director Bergman will
unquestiOnabIy open negOtia-
tiOns for such opposition.
