Extra Trappings Help Make
Card Home coming Game
Big Attraction.

<fVY YEyRE entering today's
w game against Cath
' ' olic University con-
vinced we're playing
one of the better foot ball teams
Of the East. There'u not be the
slightest suspicion of overconfl-
dence in our lineup when we step
out for the kickoff at 2 o'clock"
Such was the feeling voiced by
Charles (Gus) Dorais today as his
University of Detroit eleven marked
time prior to inaugurating home-com-
ing play with Dutch Bergmans Flying
Cardinals.
I'VE are well aware that Coach
Bergman has a smart and well drilled
eleven" Dorais continued, "also that
his is a fine line and efficient back
field. Whatever over confidence may
be harbored regarding this game is
secreted among our followers and
alumni back in Detroit. We're well
aware that we've got to get in there
and play our best game to win today"
VYyITH the stage set for the great
w est homecoming in its history
and a record breaking crowd
the prospect, Catholic University's eleven
this morning appeared actually en-
thused The prospect of taking on an
odds-on favorite before the home town
crowd seemed to inspire the Cardinals
to bigger and better things as they
eagerly awaited the game itself.
That the Cardinals will resort to
daring foot ball this afternoon was
freely predicted as they prepared to
do battle with one of the Midwest's
greatest machines. Rather than enter
tanning fears anent the great passing
of Detroit's ace of aces, Halfback Doug
Mott, Catholic q. prepared to counter
with a similar exhibition of overhead
play featuring its own star tossers in
Halfbacks Tom Finn and Tom Gearty.
Undefeated locally since $780, during
which time it has compiled Is wins and
one tie in IA games, Catholic U. this
afternoon will throw caution to the
winds and shoot the works in its effort
TO overcome the highly favored Titans.
Trick plays heretofore kept under cover
will be brought into the game as will
a new defense against forward passing,
mastered by the Cardinals this week.
~ ENFORCED by the return Of half
back Bobby Mcvean, who until
a few days ago was walking on
crutches with a pulled tendon in his
right leg, c. U. will faunt Its full
strength in Detroit's face when play is
launched. Some splendid hrst-aid
treatment by Trainer George Lentz,
coupled with a recent "breather" with
Loyola, enabled Catholics injured ath-
letes to mend in fine fashion.
While the foot ball game itself has
aroused a high pitch of enthusiasm
among Catholic University's student
body, alumni and followers, side-show
features this afternoon will add to the
color Of the occasion.
A cheering section reinforced by old
graduates will participate in the usual
school cheers and songs, while the crack
48-piece Catholic University Band will
render lively musical strains before the
game and between halves.
VYTORKING with the cheer leaders
" in this home coming spectacle
will be George Fillgate, jr., an
accomplished young tunbler, who will
show the fans something new in aero
battles. Handsprings and other stunts
equally picturesque viii be reeled of by
Fillgate.
Conspicuous among last nights ar
rivals here were that trio that assisted
in promoting Dutch Bergmans foot
ball fortunes to their present peak,
Tommy Whelan, Bus Sheary and Vim
cent FraatZ. All were cheered wildly
when introduced at big pep meeting.
