The Washington times., 1932-11-16

The five who meet stiff com.
petition are Catholic University:
Georgetown, Maryland, Navy and
Gallaudet. George Washington,
idle this week, is already in the
midst of preparations for Okla
homa on Turkey Day. American
is looking back on a season which
must be set down as successful.
Today and tomorrow will be
heavy days of practice for the
five who anticipate hard games.
Out at Catholic University,
Coach Arthur C"Dutch'D Bergman
and his assistants, Cotton and
Vlk. will concentrate on attack.
c. us defense to date has been
anything but weak and there is
a quiet confidence that the Fly
ing Cardinals can halt Elmer
Layden'S fine backfield when c.
U. meets Duquesne in Griffith
Stadium, Friday night.
Sullivan, NuSSbaum, DeLuca
and Zaninelli comprise. flashy
Duke backfield. However, c. q.
is willing to stand by the result
when this quartet stacks against
C. us Oliver, Sheary, Whelan.
Jankowski and Augusterfer.
Both Bergman and Layden are
smart enough coaches to realize
that despite two flashy back
fields. Friday nights game will be
won or lost by line play. There
fore, the two mentors this week
are concentrating on developing
offensive line play.
Seeks Better OffenSe
Georgetown's ragged play against
West Virginia Wesleyan bodies i'll
for the Hoyas against the strong
Bucknell eleven. Jack Hagerty,
satisfied with his defense, this
week will make every effort to
polish up Georgetown's offense~
Maryland'S coaches today start
eradicating two of the worst
faults in Old Line play to date,
loose handling of the ball and
poor covering of kicks. These two
factors have constantly placed
Maryland in holes all season and
have succeeded in giving Mary
lands attack, little or no chance
to function.
The Terrapins require win over
Washington and Lee Saturday to
balance the grid series between
the two schools, which began in
1924 and which stands to 8 in
fou0v nf tho Gonnro1C
Line Play Ragged
Maryland's line to date has
failed to respond to treatment,
but hopes are held that the for
ward wall will finally get going
against the Generals.
Navy'S hopes have been mount
ing ever since the Middies held
Princeton to scoreless tie. The
Columbia game gave rip" Mil
ler's youngsters confidence, but
all realize that Columbia and
Notre Dame are two different
elevenS.
incidentally, the Irish are
labeled by Dick Hanley, Of North
western, which team lost, Il to o.
to Notre Dame, as really great
grid outfit, and few persons ex'
pect Navy to do better than to
hold the Irish down to three
touchdowns.
The Middies themselves are de-
termined to offer a real battle
against Notre Dame in the new
Cleveland Stadium, and this week
they are polishing up on plays de-
signed to score against NoCre
Dame.
Gallaudet, a courageous eleven
and as yet in possession Of a fine
spirit, hopes against hope to win
over Shepherd. However, it seems
unlikely that the SilentS can win,
as Shepherd has shown ability be
yond that flashed by Gallaudet.
G. WIS coaches realize the job
they have on their hands to win
over Oklahoma. The one factor
favorable to the ColonialS is the
Oklahoma-N Nebraska game OF
Saturday, sure to be a bruiSing
affair. Oklahoma, light in com
pariSon with the heavy Cornhusk'
erS, while depending on speed, also
figures to take a physical shellack-
ing, regardless of how the contest
ends.
Followers of G. w. insist that
the ColonialS on Turkey Day will
offer the greatest attacking power
