Cards Roll
To Dixie
Today
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL


Hailed as the greatest team
ever to wear the Red and Black
of Catholic University, the Flying
Cardinals entrain today for
Miami and their wondrous adven-
ture in the Orange Bowl on New
Year Day. The Cards roll into
Dixie, and perhaps their greatest
triumph, on the Southern States
Special, which leaves Union Sta
ton at 1:50 o'clock p. m.
The boys will arrive in Jack
sonville tomorrow morning in

known, and then it's up and over
the bayous and glades to
Miami, where a committee of
welcome will meet them with ban.

The keys of the city will be
presented to Captain Ed Karpo-
wichvy Keith Phillips, chairman
of the Orange Bowl Festival com

into motor buses and proceed to
their quarters at the swanky
Flamingo Hotel on Miami Beach.
Cards Confident of Victory
Confident of winning; just as
confident as any band of young
athletes could be, the Cardinals
wound up their practice yester-
day afternoon at the Riding and
Hunt Club. They tore into the
charging machines like furles let
loose. At the end Fod Cotton, the
coach who turned out that great
Cardinal line, declared that the
boys had found their legs"

said with the wisdom of years.
The turf is different down there.
The grass carpet will be all right,
but the sand is close to the sur
face, and sand will yield under
the lunge of a vicious charge. 1t
will require strong legs to play
under those conditions.
That's why the selection Of
the Riding and Hunt Club was
wise. The turf and tan bark here
gives before the lunge of the men,
but you see how we'll they car
ried out their charge with those
machines.
You will find the boys carry
ing through their charge on We'd

The way they went today you
know that they're ready"
Regulars to Start
George Mulligan and Hermle
Schmarr will start at ends for
Catholic University. Captain Pop
eye Karpowich will be at his
usual position at left tackle, with
the capable Ed Clements at the
other tackle. Joe Anthonavage
and Bill Lajousky will carry on
at guards with Joe Yanchulis at
center.
Irish Carroll, the fast running,
hard hitting sensation will be at
left half back, and according to
present plans will play the safety
position in place of Pete Dranginls.
The latter will be moved up to
wing back on defense.
Bill Adamaitis will start at half
back. and Bob MakofsKe. the line
smashing full back will be in his
accustomed position. The de-
fensive alignment will call for
Adamitis at wing with Dranglnis
while Makofske will play in the
position of line support, teamlng
with Joe Yanchulis.

is because he is more elusive in
the broken field, and because

ners as they cleared the wings
and cut back into the center
areas.
Dranginis, defending against
passes into the flat will be as eff.
fective at wing as Carroll possibly
could be. and the latter in the
deep zones will be better in run

another, the shift is one of happy
thought and will work to the best
interests of the team.

the Cardinal attack and has
placed several new weapons in
the hands of the boys that he fig
ures will cause no little trouble to
the forward wall of Ole Miss. The
writer would like to advise readers
of The Washington Times just
how these plays work out, but
that wouldn't be fair to the Car
dinals. They want to spring those
bits of strategy without warning;
