c. j. ELEVEN SURE
Of GREAT RECORD
ScoreIess Struggle in Mud
With Duquesne Is Next
to Last Contest.
BY r. ID. THOMAS,

T T was bit of an upset, but no tears
were shed at Catholic University
today over the scoreless tie with
Duquesne last night on the slithery
sod of Griffith Stadium.
No matter what happens in the Car
dinals' final contest of the season, with
Loyola of Baltimore next Saturday, 1882
will remain an outstanding year in
Brookland foot ball history. The Car
dinals probably will trim Loyola and end
the campaign with record of seven
victories, one defeat and one tie.
How different from the old times at

Rus sHEARY, Tom whelan, Vincent
~ Fraatz, Hugh Flynn and Johnny
Lyons will play their last games
for the Cardinals next Saturday, but
their names will stay for keeps in the
archives at Brookland. For they were
the bedrock on which was built the
shining new structure of Catholic Uni
versity foot ball.
They alone remain of the original
regulars of the first team of Cardinals
coached by Arthur j. Bergman. And
that, if you please, was probably the
most ineffective eleven ever to wear the
colors of C. u. 1t won only one game,
this from pitifully weak opponent,
and lost eight.
Yet the record brought no great grief
to Brookland. The Cardinals we're used
to losing.
Dutch Bergman has wrought some
thing of a coaching miracle.
Using much of the same material
that lost eight of nine games in 1880,
the former Notre Damer in 1881 won
eight and lost one.
Under his tutelage the Cardinals have
triumphed 13 times in their last 16 en-
gagements and tied once.
A NEW star entered the Brookland
"A armament last night in the person
of Tom Oliver, but for whom the
Cardinals might easily have finished
second With greater power and a
seemingly unending supply of capable
reserves, the Dukes had all the better
of it in rushing the ball, but divers
punting made the contest even. He
was opposed to fine kicker in Silvio
zaninelli, but more than shaded him.

shots outside or dead well within the
20yard line, and when distance was
the order his Spirals zoomed long and
high.
Each team had one sterling oppor-
tunity to prevail and both we're blown
with field goal tries, Larry Sullivan
missing with 25-yard kick and Oliver
with one of IS.
The Dukes drove 10 yards to within
10 yards of the CSDU. goal in the fourth
quarter, where their running attack
was stopped by Hugh Flynn, tackle,

down, Sullivan tried for a field goal.

period. Phil Gross, tackle, partly
blocked Duquesne pass and Phil
Confer, guard, agthered it in with a

From this point the Cards advanced

plays.

Bergman held out his ace, Tom Whe-
Ian, for more than half the so minutes
of play to keep him fresh for scoring
opportunities. But that insecure foot
