WILL GET BIG PLAY
Cards Display Lots of Grit
in 1927 Victory Over
j. Maryland Quint.
BY H. c. BYRD.

" YHILE it has eliminated
wv all intercollegiate ath-
v letic competition for the
remainder of the year,
except basket ball, Catholic Uni
versity plans to intensity it's sports
efforts in other ways.
Particularly will this be true of intra-
mural sports, in which a wide and
varied program now is being prepared
by Athletic Director Bergman Also
Bergman is making arrangements to hold
Spring foot ball practice, and make it
encompass as many students as possible.
as general part of the effort to get
many men engaged in competitive play.
In regard to Spring foot ball, Berg
man has twofold purpose First, he
wants to get his men ready for a diff
cult campaign next year, which means
hard practice and lot of it, and sec
ond, it is his intention to use Spring
foot ball as one of the intramural ac-
tivities. In this way Bergman not only
hopes to get the best possible develop
ment for his varsity for next Fall, but
also to interest more men and thus give
an opportunity for them to derive from
participation in foot ball its unques-
toned values. A great many students
through Spring practice may get op-
portunitieS to take part in the game
who otherwise would not, as they hardly
would be candidates for varsity squad.
ssII1E began last year to build up
w system of athletics for all and
got things well under way" said
Bergman this morning. "and we shall
continue and intensity that program
this Spring. We are starting now. while
We do not have Intercollegiate boxing
the remainder of this year, we are con-
tinuing our men in the sport and have
many men working out under Coach
Eddie La Fond
I'VE cut our program this year for no
other reason than economic necessity
We might have continued and wound
up with big deficit. but such a course
would have been against every rule of
common sense. If conditions are a little
better next year, We shall come right
back in every sport, and come back
strong. But in this time of financial
stress no educational institution that
works along fundamentally sound lines
is going to run the risk of having its
more or less depleted general educa-
tlonal funds encounter a further drain
to take care of deficits in intercolle-
giate sports We couldn't think of
placing the administrative authorities
of the university in any position where
they night feel obligated to do any,
thing of this kind
The students and all those interested
IN Catholic University recognize the sit
uation and are cooperating cheerfully,
even if they would like to have the sit
uation somewhat different.
CHEER ability to Outright its oppo-
- nent produced an overtime period
victory last night for Catholic Uni
versity's basket ball team over Mary
land. % to o. The Brookland five
was so outclassed in the early stages
of the contest. and throughout the first
half, that hardly anybody in the big
gymnasium thought they had chance,
yet in the second half came back with ,
a driving force that Maryland could
not match, or at least did not match
The way Maryland scored points
early in the game made c. U. seem
weak, the score being II to 2 at one
time. but the second half was a diff
ferent story, as Catholic u carried the
fight to the Marylanders and the latter
simply did not stand up under it.
1t was a remarkable turnabout for
the BrOOklanQerS ana renecCS credlC
not only on the players, but on Coach
Forest Cotton, who between halves was
able to change the whole aspect of his
teams play and turn defeat into
victory.
Maryland outplayed C. U. by such
wide margin the first half, leading q
to 10 at intermission. that it apparently
had sewed up the game. However, the
Cardinals kept banging away until they
tied the count at 26-all just before the
end regulation time and won out in
the overtime five minutes.
