BY HARRY COSTELLO


Just how important the for
ward pass is to the modern
attack in football is illustrated in
preparations by Georgetown and
Catholic University for their re.
spective games of the weekend.
Georgetown entertains Roanoke.
in Griffith Stadium, tomorrow
night. Catholic University will
have as the friendly enemy the
Stormy Petrels of Oglethorpe, in
c. U. Bowl, Saturday afternoon.
In his preparations for Ogle-
thorpe, Coach Arthur Dutch"
Bergman has concentrated on the
overhead play. In his prepare
tions for Roanoke, Coach Jack
Hagerty actually contemplates
replacing fine end with Ed
Bodine, a halfback, because of
the latter'S superior ability to
catch forward passes.

Oglethorpe plays reverses with
Tuppin getting the ball for either

no mistake on that score.

Joe will start the game, but he
