M GEE, CASTLE
SAINT STARS
BY SID KATZNELL

st. Adams gridders may not
have the strongest football team
in school boys circles, but they
do have two of the best backs in
these parts in John MCGEE and
Bayne Castle.
MCGEE plays any position in
the backfield while Castle is the
field general. These lads possess
the qualities that makes real grid
ders. Both can run, kick, block
and tackle with precision.
John is the best broken field
runner to- matricuIate at st.
Adams for q long time. Castle
has the uncanny ability to call
the right plays at the right
time. They are really two fine
backs to watch.
Fans will have an opportunity
to see these lads in action Friday
when the st. Adams ele- IN tao
kles Landon at $3.50 O'Clock on
the st. Adams gridiron. !.
Landon brings over a poWerru!,
combination, and the Saints VIII
have to play headS'up football n
order to win.

have. Indeed, both quality anC

proved if ali good players al
Howard were to appear as aspir
ants for the eleven.
Howard's 1881 football group
reminds this writer of the
Northwestern squad which ap-
peared for initial practice un-
der Dick Hanley. II by any
chance the Howard squads un-
der Verdell improve as North
Westerns did under Hanley,
HOward's rise to the top should
be swift and definite. ..
From end to end Howard's line
is a fine looking physical line
However, the cleverness of Coach
Verdell in making the line ap
pear that way does not fool the
close student of football. Sev.
eral of his units in the forward
wall are very light. -.
Pitted against a team faced
with the same problems as How.
ard, Howard would probably win
nine out of ten times. This
speaks volumes for the Bisons.
One Is inclined to the belief
that the Howard, prexy is tOI-.
Grant Of athletics rather than
enthusiastic about them. But,
the president Of such o school
as Howard undoubtedly knows
thoroughly his tasks and his.
problems. One hesitates to even
intimate that the students
would have conditions other
than they are.
Like all schools and colleges
which refuse to permit athletics
to outbalance studies, Howard's
grid team has its difficulties
However, even in defeat the 1881
Howard football team is impres-
sive, appeals as an interesting
team, is well coached and could
really do much better if each in
dividual unit would work harder
and concentrate more enthusi-
astically on team play.

Disturbed because he was un.
able to throw Matros Kirilenko
in their 30-minute last week, Rudy
DuSek is determined to make
short work of the Russian wrestler
in their match which features
the program at the Washington
Auditorium this coming Thursday
night. ,=.s - !
Not only was Dusek unable to
pinion Kirilenko's shoulders to
the mat, but the Nebraska Wild
cat" was lucky to get a draw
with the giant foreigner. The
wildcat" appeared as tame as
a kitten and only the whistle
saved Dusek from shocking de-
feat.
Rudy is also eager to win
over KirilenkO for . more inn
pOrtant reason. Local wrestling
fans ha se come to the belief
that Dusek is below the form
he flashed i'm his memorable
engagements with LOndOs and
Steele.
A wrestler prides himself in his
ability and dislikes reports that
he is slipping. He is the last
to admit signs Of decay. However,
Dusek is a youngster and. maybe
he will snap out Of his slump

Even so, the 1881 Howard com
bination is far, far from a weak
team.
The old football player who
visits Howard's beautiful campus,
to watch the Bisons work out,
goes with the idea of seeing two
or three Bill Lewis four or five
Paul RobeSons. several Fritz Pol.
lards and at least one Smith (of
Michigan Aggies fame).
OF course, he is disappointed
He would be disappointed seeking
such stars on all the campus prac-
tfce field from Southern Califor-
MIA to N. Y. o., and from Michi-
gan to Texas Christian, including
even the football campus of Notre
Dame.
Football has had only one Bill
+ Lewis, the gridirOns first rowing
center; only one Paul RObeSOn,
probably the greatest of all foot
ball ends: only one Fritz Pollard,
probably the speediest of all
backs, not even excluding Jack
Elder, NOtre Dame flash; only
one Smith, a Supertackle among
a long list of great tackles.
It is on offense that the visitor
first sees Howard.
The team employs Dick Han
ley's Northwestern coach3 eight
man shift. Coming out of a hud-
die the center and guards are in
position on the line of scrimmage.
The remaining eight units await a
given signal and shift to their
various positions, in line and back
field.
Lacks Driving Racks
Very naturally, Howard's su-
perior play is an off-tackle drive.
However, Coach Verdell has
not the heavy, powerful, driving
backs to execute this great play,
and, as a result, Howard to date
has been only spasmodically sue
ceSSful.
HOward's line as an attack
ing unit compares most favor.

teams. As a defensive unit it

The Mt. Rainier's "Crawlers'

ton of the Maryland-Virginia
Suburban League this season.
Hugh Crawley picked his men
not. on their brilliance but on
their plugging qualities, and has
stuck to the same lineup night
after night with the more than
satisfactory results, leading the
Loop by a four-game margin.
Only two teams have been able
to score against them, and neither
team was good enough to take
more than one game. While they
have yet to meet Georgetown
and Hyattsville, the "Crawlers'
are unpeturbed.

Georgetown is another team
which hasn't set any drives afire,
but has been nosing out its foe
continuously by narrow margin.
Just case of getting 'em in the
pinches. Little Joe Callan has
been the best for third place
with the glittering Bethesda com
bination.
Henry HiSer'S Bethesda gang,
despite terrific pace set by their
leader, hasn't been able to click
consistently. Last week they ran
smack into a brick-wall when
Clarendon out-mauled them three
games, knocking them out of Sec
