VICTORY DRIVE LED
BY WHELAN, SHEARY
Each TaIIies Twice While
Playing Final Game for
RrookianderS.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

TLYING cleated feet of two of
r. Catholic University's grid
L greats blazed another vic
tory trail upon the green
sward of Griffith Stadium yester-
day, but tinged with regret was
the 25-to-0 triumph for the Cardi-
mails of Brookland over Loyola
College CT Baltimore.
The victory manufacturing firm
of Whelan and Sheary, which
brought Catholic U. from the
depths to The heights in foot ball,
was dissolved with the Brook
landers' grand finale of 1882.
1t was fitting ending to the college
gridiron careers of Capt Bus Sheary,
pile driving fullback, and Tommy Whe-
Ian, swivel-hipped halfback. Sheary,
plotting Coach Dutch Bergman's second
great c. U eleven, shared honors with
Whelan. yeiled All-America timber, as
a bewildered Baltimore eleven was
swept off its feet by the dazzling play
OF these two backs.
Up-and-coming sophomores and po-
tent juniors receded into the back
ground as the fleet Whelan made his
farewell long run and Sheary ploughed
the line for the last time for Catholic
U. They divided four touchdowns
evenly.
THE upward-of-4,OO0 spectators had
i hardly noted the start of the game
when Capt. Sheary. after c. us
kickoff and Loyola's return punt, took
the ball on the receiving end Of dou-
BILE pass and scampered 35 yards to a
touchdown. He deftly added the extra
point with a placement.
The spotlight was Whelan's in the
second period. The visitors, just re-
covering from Sheary's dazzling dash,
were steadily threatening to tie. The
Cards stout line halted them once on
the 12-yard line, but, undaunted, they
were coming back, mixing line plungeS
with passes. But one pass took too
long to reach it's intended objective. A
flash of red and black and Tommy
Whelan, grabbing the pigSkin, was
away-of to his last long journey for
c. U. There was no heading the fleet
Card, who sprinted unmoleSted for 80
yards and touchdown.
in the third period. G. us doughty
leader, in midfeld, negotiated a 22-
yard dash. Loyola was aiming its de-
tense at both Sheary and Whelan, but to
no avail. Sheary got away again, this
time for IL yards, advancing the ball
to the visitors 4-yard stripe. Loyola
stiffened and two plays were stopped.
Sheary again-and another touchdown.
7 OYOLA was washed up. There were
II two men to stop, but either was
too much. Sheary got off nice
boot late in the third quarter, back
ing the visitors to their own goal line.
They punted out and were given the
ball for a penalty detected while the
ball was in midair, but Ed White, G. U.
center, blocked another Loyola kick and
Francis Fleming, end, recovered for the
Brooklanders on Loyola's 3-yard stripe.
The quarter ended before another
play could be made, but with the re-
sumption of the game the smart Car
dinals sprang lateral pass, Gene Au-
gusterfer to Whelan, that enabled the
latter to skip across the final line, un-
touched.
1t was all farewell game could be
and deServingly so, not only to Sheary
and Whelan, but also to five other SEN
iorS who saw action-Vinnie FraatZ,
crack end Francis Donaher, halfback;l
Hugh Flynn, tackle; Johnny Stapleton,
end, and Norbert Billinger, guard.
Loyola, although making only four
less first downs than C. u, credited
with 10, was outclassed. The Cards
gained lit yards from Scrimmage to SO
for Loyola and 81 yards on two passes
to 25 on three for the BaltimoreanS.
G. us performance was quite remark
able, in that the Brook1anderS lost los
yards by penalties. Even that aid, how
ever, didn't make the visitors really
dangerous. That march to the 12-yard
line constituted their best hit of offen-
sive work of the entire game.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITIES victory,
~ expected but not quite SO decisive
ly, gave Bergman'S eleven a rec
ord of six wins, tie and one defeat
administered by Holy Cross-for the
1882 season and another of IA triumphS,
tie and 2 defeats for the last two
campaigns. A glowing tribute to
Whelan, Sheary and Bergman, who
played the major roles in converting
an eleven of 1880, which won only one
Of nine games, into one of the East's
greatest little teams
