Evening star., 1935-10-22


battle Friday night at Griffith
i Stadium in the st. Mary's Uni
versity eleven from San Antonio, Tex.
Those Texas boys" reports Eddie
Lafond, who secuted ST. Mary's in its
7-6 victory over st. Thomas Saturday
at Scranton, Pa, ARE big, fast and
we'll coached"
with diagrams of some fancy passing
plays used effectively by the Rattlers.
many of them started from spread
formations bound to be puzzling to
any opponent for a while. at least.
They we're all over the lot" says
Lafond, land st. Thomas players got
dizzy trying to cover them"
st. Mary's came East with "a play
ers, conveyed in an old-time motor
bus painted in Rattler colors, royal
blue and gold. In this the Texans
have averaged 400 miles day.
If you see any human mountains
at Washington show places in the next
several days don't look for a Wild West
circus. The Rattlers are travelling in
native" garb.
c. U. Gets Singular Break.
COME foot ball coaches will tell you
~ that attitude is the most vital
factor in scoring big gridiron victories.
The c. U.-Detroit game offered an in
teresting example
1T was bit of luck that We missed
the point after touchdown that would
have tied the score" says Fod Cotton,
the Cards crack line coach, who ex-
plains: 1T looked as though the game
would be tie and when our boys lost
that point, with only a few minutes
to go, they went after the Detroit gang
like wildcats, and they did things bet
ter than they knew how. They got a
touchdown so quickly with that extra
effort it made us all gasp. If Mulligan
had kicked the extra point after our
first touchdown, believe the game
would have ended all even. Both
teams would have settled down and
concentrated simply on not being
licked"
One of the pleasing features of
Catholic University's performance
against Detroit was the play of Leo
Katalinas. who replaced Capt. Ed
Karpowitz, hurt on the first play. The
team was not weakened by the substi-
tuition, although Karpowitz, who re-
turned to action later, Is considered
one Of the finest tackles to play on a
Washington eleven in many season.
The giant captain was dragging a stiff
leg today. but hoped to play against
st. Mary's.
c. U. Is blessed with tackle talent.
Besides Karpowitz and Katalinas, a
brother of the Katalinases of George
town fame, it has Eddy White and
Sammy Pagano, both high grade.
Texans Making Come back.
Ct. MARY'S is resuming foot ball
after depression lay-off. 1t is
coached by Frank Bridges. who used
to win conference championships at
Texas famous Baylor. After losing
to Rice Institute it has won three
games in row and shown steady i'm
provement. The Cardinal coaches are
not sure the Rattlers used all their
stuff in defeating st. Thomas and c..
U. will be prepared for a tough eve
ming Friday.
"St. Mary's," to quote Lafond, 'has
the kind of team that might spring
one OF those sensational upsets you're
reading about these days"
