TEAMS CLASH.
ON FIELD At
MARYLAND
By HARRY COSTELLO

BY hAhh1 NOS 1ELAO
Once a football squad in train
ing has passed the early prelimi-
nary stage Of practice, and scrim-
mage is necessary, it is advisable
to pit the squad against another
composed of players who are
strangers.
This procedure induces in play
e1s a higher type of play than
would be brought out under ordi-
nary circumstances.
In washington, four squads,
those of George Washington,
Catholic University, Georgetown
and Maryland, are available for
these inter-squad relations. Last
year Maryland and c. U. Scrim-
maged. Today Georgetown and
Maryland are scheduled for a
scrimmage in the Byrd Stadium
at 2 o'clock. Only heavy down.
pour will prevent the pair from
meeting.
What a Pity!
It is a pity, from the stand
point of the coaches, that all
four squads do not make arrange
ments for round-robin practice
sessions. It would do all four
squads a world of good IF
The "if" is big one.
There appears no doubt but
that officials of the four schools
fear that such inter-squad rela-
tionships will breed a condition
not at all to be desired, viz, the
public through newspaper writer's
will be informed as to the COM
parative abilities Of the squads.
Perhaps it is possible for the
four coaches to make arrange
ments to tage such practice
scrimmages in secret on the basis
Of a gentleman's agreement, with
newspaper writer's made part of
the agreement.
Intra-squad Game Off
Today's intra-squad game at
Catholic University has been post
poned to Monday. The field is
a sea of mud, it was stated by
Head Coach Bergman.
Officials Of the District &C
credited body will handle the
game and it is possible that many
members will attend as spectators,
to obtain firSt-hand information
as to the operation of the new
rules.
Mondays scrimmage game will
find the Reds" under the lead
ership of the varsity captain and
halfback, John Jankowski, with
the BLACKS" captained by Eddie
White.

Develop Aerial Game

An effort to build up one
of footballs most potent forms
of attack. the forward passing
game, rapidly is becoming an
issue at Brookland. Already
having polished their running
attack the Flying Cardinals"
are now stressing development
of the aerial game.
Oddly enough two ouStand-
ing bidders for the left half
back assign m ent vacated
through the graduation of
Tommy WheIan (TUm Finn
and Tommy Gearty) appear
virtually even up in this de-
0artment. Both not only have
so far proved cracker-jack toss
ers, but Gearty also has sur

GONZAGA COACH
GLOOMY OVER
OUTLOOK
By DANNY GILL

While he's no GLOOMY Gus, "
Orrel Mitchell is not the type to
try to fool himself or others about
the athletic outlook at Gonzaga
High School.
And Orrel will tell you that
things look pretty dark at his
school. To use his own words,
they appear pretty sad. He is not
discouraged, only frank, and be-
lieves things may take a turn for
the better within the next two or
three weeks.
Mitchell, who is starting his
fifth year at the I Street school,
bases his conclusion on the heavy
losses he sustained through grad
uation. All he has back this year
are two light, but good guards, Joe
Thibadeau and Tom Huntington,
who saw considerable service last
year; Joe Spigoni, a stocky guard,
who also got in quite few trays
last season; Jack ConnorS, end,
and Malcolm Luebkert, one Of the
best backs on the squad, who was
showing real promise when he
broke his leg last year in the
second game against Georgetown
Prep.
To Shift Moore
This season Mitchell plans
shifting Lawrence Moore from
end to backfield. Others from
whom he'll select his starting
quartet Of ball carriers are "Biff"
Zimmerman, John Munhall, James
Boyle, Thomas Curran, Thomas
Folliard.
Numbered among the candidates
for end are Fred Mccoy, Joe NC
Quillan, John Byrne and, OF
course, Jack Conners. Two tack
les will come from these four: Pat
rick Deenihan, who is the leading
contender for the post; William
King, Joe Ferri and hetty John
O'Connell.
Center Vacant
The center position left vacant
by the graduation OF William
Mills, is sought by John Boyle
and Dan McKenna. Just how
good the boys are remains to be
seen.
About 80 boys are out for the
team, and according to Mitchell,
they are smaller than usual. The
first game finds them lined up
against Central High School, Oc-
tober 6, in the Central Stadium.
Roosevelt High is the next oppon-
ent and then Georgetown Prep (at
home) Swavely Prep at Manassas,
Va, and Eastern and st. johns
and Western in rapid succession.
All of the public high schools
except Mckinley are met in the
seven-game schedule.

accurately and for distance.
Particularly cool under fire,
the slender Cardinal should
play a major part in many a
c. U. victory during 1888.
Although possessing no out
standing pass receiver among
the ends since the untimely
passing of Ray Howe two sea-
sons ago, an effort this year is
being made to develop an ace
in the person of Francis CRedD
Fleming, 6-foot 3 inch Junior.
Otherwise admirably equipped
as an end, the redhead is show.
ing considerable improvement
in this phase of the game.

A Great Combination

Thus Coach Bergman has
much to be thankful for. Is
there any wonder he is one Of
the most successful and best
liked coaches on any campus
around Washington? We don't
see how there could be mystery
about Bergman's success, these
facts taken into consideration
with the all-important truths
that he knows his business thor
oughly, is a natural leader Of
young men and affable with it.
In such an atmosphere and
in such a setting in three years
''Dutch" Bergman has brought
the Flying Cardinals to the
forefront in Middle Atlantic
football, in fact so much so
that if the players could stand
it and if the season consisted Of
20 Saturdays instead of the
nine Bergman has adopted,
Catholic University could have
q splendid engagement each
weekend.
Though deprived Of four of
his brightest gridiron lights via
graduation, Bergman, the happy
gridiron warrior, appeared op-
timistic as he prepared for the
coming campaign.

TEAM HITTING
$50 PACE
At HOME
BY GARRETT WATERS


Figures always tell an interest.
ing story, as the latest in connec-
ton with the Griffmen prove.
F'instance, our baseball club
has played eight games in the
last 10 days, or since the return
home from the Western sector Of
the circuit.
In six Of these engagements, vic
tories have been registered-vie-
tories that have meant a winning
percentage of $50 to the club,
and victories that have pictured
the fact that the old pennant bee
is really in the minds Of Cronin
and his men despite the fact that
previous home stands haven't
made the boys look so anxious
for it.
Important victories over the
Chicago White SoX, Cleveland
Indians and Detroit Tigers nave
been scored to attain this record.
The list includes three triumphs
out of four against the Chisox,
two out Of three against the In
dians, and one out of one in the
present series with the Tigers.
Shake Jinx at Last
Now, it would seem from all
this that the Griffs have finally
shaken the jinx these clubs had
over them in earlier instances
this season. The Griffs will tell
you it's so, as it's their aim at
this hour to win every game they
can in order to clinch the gon-
falon quickly, and quicker than
that If the days and dates will
only arrive fast enough.
But before we go further 1t Is
interesting to note just how much
better Cronin and his men are
playing this time than on occa-
sions Of the past when only
fair" home stands were en-
dured.
Before, 1t will be remembered,
the opposition had a merry romp
gaining victories at the expense
Of the striving Griffs, teams like
the Chicago White Sox and De-
troit Tigers especially enjoying
themselves by winning when 1t
was the most unexpected event
in the world.
Barely Play 500
The result of all this havoc"
found the Griffs barely above the
500 mark at the termination of
their respective home stands - a
record that was far from the right
sort for a team trying it's best to
command powerful position in
the race, in fact, beat the New
York Yankees out for the gon-
falon.
Maybe the thought of these past
performances directed the Griffs
onto better things once they ar
rived back on home soil again
after their most recent sojourn
out in the West. Whether any
Of this had anything to do with
the situation or not, Manager
Cronin and his gang have been
playing a much improved brand
OF ball during this latest stand and
promise to continue the same until
the very last contest of the sea-
son, scheduled Sunday, October /,
at Griffith Stadium, if you please.
The Griffs engage the Detroit
Tigers in double-header today,
weather permitting, because yes
terday's scheduled contest was

morrow, and they will be followed
