The Washington times., 1932-11-19

backfields and two d-charg
Two excellent attacks, but two
better defenses.
Two smart quarterbacks, only
single error of generalship being
chargeable to each.
Two hard-fighting, courageous
grid teams, each proving its
mettle when called upon to with
stand the final and most desper-
ate assault Of the other.
Catholic University and Du-
quesne. They battled to a score
less tie last night in Griffith
Stadium. The result should prove
satisfactory to both teams and
to their supporters.
That was a remarkable game
last night. 1t was remarkable
if for no other reason than that
only two errors of generalShip
were committed. However, it
was remarkable because OF the
wonderful line play; it was re-
because Of the even
Steven aspect of all phases OF
the contest, including the strategy
of the opposing coaches, Arthur
Bergman and Elmer Layden.
Dukes Score 9 Downs
In the matter of first downs,
Duquesne held an edge, 9 to 5,
but in the matter of scoring
threats. c. u. held an edge, in
about the same proportion.
Each team had one great op-
porunity to score. Each chose to
try for a field goal by placement.
Each kick failed.
Duquesne had the first great
scoring chance. 1t came early
in the final period. Little Larry
Sullivan, DuqueSne's great little
man of the gridiron, tried from
placement with the ball resting
on C. us 28-yard stripe.
A few minutes later c. U. had
it's greatest scoring chance. Oliver
tried from placement with the
ball resting on Duquesne's 16-yard
line.
Prior to each of these tries for
goal by placement each team had
made it's best attacking efforts
of the game.
Advances 67 Yards
It was late in the third quarter
when the Dukes cut loose with
an attack that sustained itself
for 81 hard yards, from Du-
QueSne'S 27-yard line to c. us
15-yard marker. The third quar-
ter ended with the Dukes having
the ball at that spot. Three
plays after the final chapter
started, Sullivan tried his field
goal.
1t was a fine drive over %
yards of difficult enemy territory
that C. U. staged to place the
ball where Oliver could try his
field goal.
On these two drives both teams
flashed an offensive brilliant in
its efficacy. versatility and STRAIT
egy.
On the Duquesne drive Deluca,
flashing some hard running,
clipped off Is yards, hitting
center once and left end another
time. Zaninelli ripped off eight
yards through right guard. Then,
after Nussbaum had struck twice
into left tackle for four yards, a
neat forward pass, Deluca to
Krankota over center, carried
the leather % yards to C. us
32-yard line.
Strut cracked left tackle for
two yards. Then he Slashed
through a huge hole in the left
side of the Cardinal line and
smashed his way to the 15-yard
stripe, as the third quarter ended.
Three plays, after the opening OF
the fourth quarter, netted just
half a yard, and Sullivan tried
his kick.
Shorter Drive
C. us drive was shorter than
Duquesne's, but just as remark
able.
The Dukes had the ball. Gross
broke through, half-blocked an
attempted forward pass, and
Confer caught the ball as it came
off Gross hand, to give the Cards
the leather SO yards from the
Duke goal line. JankowSk and
Whelan alternated on four plays
and gained 81 yards. A penalty
set the Dukes back five yards.
Whelan made four yards in two
tries, but Jankowski couldn't
gain at left end, and Oliver
tried his field goal.
Play throughout the first half
was all in Duquesne territory, ex-
cept once, when Zaninelli's punt,
near the end of the half, sent
