ball team repulsed &
scrappy Manhattan College eleven
10 to 6, yesterday afternoon in the
G. U. Stadium.
It was a sweet triumph for the
Cardinals, who were defeated by
the JaSpers in a 7-6 struggle last
year. The Bergman-coached COM
bination now has won five straight
games.
Tom Whelan. dashing Cardinal left
halfback, scored the first touchdown OF
the game. when he darted off right
tackle and then, like a whirling derv-
ish, cut to his left and streaked 76
per safety man. 1t was only a few
minutes later when Carl De Mello
right halfback, got loose for stirring
46-yard sprint to c. US second touch
down. Johnny Lyons, right end, took
out Thomas near the goal line with
q nifty bit of blocking.
Ken owen, right halfback, counted
the invaders lone touchdown in the
third quarter, when he siashed through
from the 1-foot line after a drive that
started on the Cardinal 48-yard stripe.
The Jsspers earlier had stormed to the
Cardinal 1-foot line at the start of the
second quarter before being halted.
C. U. lost little time in the third quar-
ter in offsetting the visitors touch
down, sweeping straight up the field
following the kickoff. With the ball
on the Jasper 24-yard line Bus Sheary
ripped off right tackle and twisted his
wav % wards to score.
Only one extra point was registered
during the game. Charlie McVean,
reserve c. U. quarterback, scored this
on a drop-kick following his teams
final touchdown.
Fraatz Strong on Defense.
whelan, De Mello and Sheary all
gained much ground for the Cardinals,
while Vince Fraatz's defensive play,
the alert work of Charlie McVean, who
thrice broke up enemy passes, and the
workmanlike blocking of Johnny Lyons
also were noteworthy.
Pate Battle, Owen and Nal Thomas
pretty well divided the ball carrying
for the Gotham eleven, with Battle
proving about the most consistent.
Thomas got several passes away in
clever style.
Manhattan started strongly and put
on drive that carried from the c. U.
41-yard line to within stride of the
goal before the period ended. With the
ball on the 4-yard mark Battle crashed
another yard, hut Frattz broke through
TO throw Thomas for yard loss and
put the ball back On the 4-yard stripe
as the period ended.
At the start OF the second quarter
the Jaspers fought closer to the c. u
goal until finally Gross brought Thomas
down on the 1-foct line on the fourth
down.
Later IN the period C. U. got the bail
CT downs On its own 24-yard line and
wbslan got loose on his 76-yard touch

placement for the point failed.
