BY WHELAN' DASH
c. u. Star Goes 81 Yards to
Early Score-Long Pass
Nets Touchdown.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

Moccasins of the University
of Chattanooga before yes
terday's foot ball game in
the Brookland Bowl was more
than a minute old, Catholic Uni
versity's Cardinals swept to a 49,
too victory.
Rated little better. if any, than
Chattanooga before the fray,
Catholic University with its dash
ing performance surprised even
the most ardent of its rOoterS
among the $500 present.
There was little poison left in the
fangS of the Moccasins after Tom
Whelan had made his 87yard dash
through broken field to touchdown
almost at the outset of hoStilities.
There was none remaining after ,
pass, Charley McVean to Jankowski, m
the third quarter was good for 40 yards
and a touchdown.
So tanned had the Moccasins become
that the second string Cardinals took
the gridiron in the final period to drive
from midfield to score registered by
Tom Oliver
No kicked points followed the first
and last touchdowns. but McVean
booted the ball above the bar after the
second.
Cardinals Sweep to Scores.
VIIHELAN'S long scoring run that
w unpoised the Moccasins before
the crowd had finished vending
its way into the stands supplied the big
thrill of the game. Chattanooga had
received the opening kickoff and i'm
mediately reeled off a first down only
TO be forced to kick. Pat MONTAGUE.
t~an III ~ orS
advanced Crly three Yards before he
was downed. Then Whelan electrified
the onlookers.
Taking the ball in the Cardinals
first scrimmage. the flashy halfback
tented toward 'NoOga'S left end. only
suddenly to cut in to sweep inside the
opposing left tackle. The Cardinal for
wards had cleared out of action the
other Moccasin linemen, bat only one
of the Moccasin backs had been
blocked out of the play. Whelan,
thoueh deftlv ducked one would-be
tackling back. then sped by another.
Swinging to his left, the flying Car
dinal when near the side line man
aged to elude the Chattanooga safety,
then he Strengthened his course and
with one of the opposition right at his
heels sprinted to goal
Again it was after receiving punt
that Catholic University started toward
its second touchdown, and again 1t was
Whelan who started his team on its
scoring way. Getting the ball in the
Cardinals territory soon after the sec
ond half was under way, Whelan ran
ii back 10 yards to Moccasin ground,
then crashed the line fer 5 yards to
nut his side within 40 yards OF goal
Here McVean hurled pass that was
caught on the 25-yard line by jan
Jo+t yy-r-inU clear
of several neartackles, hustled TO the
final stripe.
With the MoccaSins scarcely able TO
crawl. it was fairly easy for the
Cardinal second-stringers to get their
touchdown in the fourth period. 1t
was the intercepticn of Nooga pass
by Gene Augusterfer on 'NCogaS 49-
yard line that began the final Cathollc
University onset. Tom Gearty and
oliver repeatedly drove into the Moe
rasin line to reel off four first downs
that advanced play to yard from
goal. Then Oliver drilled inside right
tackle for the points.
'Nooga Bids in First Half.
CHATTANOOGA did all its bidding
~ for points in the first half. Late
in the opening quarter it blocked
q punt to get the ball within the 30
yard line. Then using spinner plays!
with Haswell Venable and Smith
doing most of the ball toting. it reached
The 7-yard line as the quarter ended.
Shortly after the second period started
the Moccasins were at first down within
yards of goal. That was the nearest
they got to a score.
Sta istically. there was little differ
ence between the teens outside of
running attack Although the Moe
caSins got l3 first downs to Catholic
University's 9, the latter gained l74
yards to l29 thanks to Wlelen's long
scoring sprint The Cardinals got SO
yards with the passes they completed
in trials The Moccasns went into
the air II times to complete passes
for 55 yards. They outhicsed the
Cardinals. their punts averaging 40
yards against 35-y2rd average for
the home SiGe.
