OF the two schools, one of the

The HoyaS and Mountaineers who

Leroy Bordeau, Georgetown fulIback

finishing this Fall as q gridironer. and
the Hoya has at least one invaIuable
ring asset. He has the heart of lion.
Catholic University students are
overjoyed with the showing of their
team in Arthur Bergman's second wear
as coach. When C. u. was taking it
on the whiskers right and left last Fall
the outlook for the current campaign
was anything but promising.
The Cardinals had the same dificul.
ties II 1880 that Georgetown Is now ex-
per1erc1ng. Bergman never was able
to muster full strength or anything
near it, due to injuries to key players.
With hope for successful season van
1shed, the coach concentrated on build
ing up reserves for this year and the
Cardinals record to date Is convincing
evidence OF his ability And out at
Brookland thSy feel that Bergman has
only begun. T1eir faith in him seems
unlimited. which may mean a tough
life for Dutch. G. u. has never been
oyerburdened with foot ball material.
George Vetter, Bucknell back, hurt in
the Georgetown game, has been dis.
charged at Emergency Hospital Vet
ter's head bump was not as serious az
thought.
