BAYOU TIGERS
SEEK DATE
WITH {. j.

Louisiana State UniverSity'S
football eleven came to the Capt.
tai and conquered George Wash
ington University on Saturday. It
was their final game against the
Colonials for long time to come.
In fact, it may be four years, and
it may be forever til they meet
again. But as the football special
rolled out on the Southern Rail-
road on Saturday, with the teams
of South Carolina, Oglethorpe and
these far-famed Tigers of the
BayouS, it was learned authorita-
lively that Louisiana State seeks
game with Catholic University.
The game will be played in 1885
or SO. A home and home agree.
ment may be sought covering a
period of years.
Dutch Bergman, head coach Of
the Cardinals, one of the unsung
masters of football in this coun-
try, is trying to arrange his dates
to accommodate the schedule OF
the 'Cajun country boys. Bergman
and Jones were in a long huddle
on Saturday night, and Burt Ing
Wersen, assistant to Jones, sat in
making notes and comparing
dates. The matter will be referred
to the heads of the two universe
ties, as the writer understands
the situation, and we may expect
an announcement of the formal
arrangement of the game before
spring.
The writer can think of no foot
ball game that would be more COL
orful and fitting to the scheme
of things in this city than meet
ing between these Tigers of the
Bayou and the Cardinals. Capt.
Biff Jones, with record as great
player, a great coach and guar.
dian fthe traditions of football,
is outstanding in his field. A dis
ciple of Warner football, his teams
play interesting and strategically
sound games at all times.
Bergman Real Coach
Dutch Bergman, "a Notre Dame
player Of repute, and Stickler for
everything that is sportsmanlike
in the field, matches Jones in
every way. His teams put on fire
works of sort on the field while
the watch is running, and if you
enjoy technically sound football,
tudy the Catholic University game
when it is clicking. You'll learn
about gridiron tactics from Berg
man.
Bergman was in no gentle
frame of mind this morning as
he studied the charts of the game
with Oglethorpe's Petrels on Sat-
urday. He plans double drill and
no canteen for the players who
thought they were so good on
Saturday, that they scored all of
seven points in the first half. The
regular backfield played sloppy
football.
| Adamaitis and Makofske just
about won regular places on the
team on Saturday. It is probable
that these boys will be teamed
with Tom Gearty and Dranginis.
This last named youth proved
himself a blocker of exceptional
talents, and twice on long Scor-
ing jaunts by the Cards. Dram
giniS took out the safety man
and cleared the path of the
runner.

Here's WOW the boys are tell.
ing about Harry "Fatso" Ellinger,
line coach at Dartmouth with Earl
Red" Blaik. A couple of years
ago Fatso went down to Baton
Rouge to call upon Biff Jones. A
norther swept Louisiana and the
thermometer dropped below the
freezing point. The citizenry
flocked to the leading store of the
city to purchase flannels-yes, red
flanneS. Overcoats were at pre-
MUM.
Into the store trooped Ellinger
and blandly he asked for two seer.

"What?" asked the clerk, pull
ing on another overcoat.
1.-TWO seerSucker SUITS" insisted
Ellinger.
Well, the clerk went into the
J storeroom and finally fitted out
Ellinger, who insisted upon wear.
ing his newly-acquired finery into
! the wintry blasts that beat upon
the city.
But alas! While Ellinger was
negotiating his purchase, the ra-
diator in his car froze solid. And
5 from that day to this he has
voiced a strong dislike for seer.
