The highest honor ever &C.
corded a football team in the
District of Columbia was won
this year by the Flying Cardi-
nails of Catholic University. In
vited to meet the eleven of
University of Mississippi in
the Orange Bowl festival at
Miami, the Cardinals stepped
out of the ranks of strictly
local football organizations
into national recognition.
The honor was richly deserved.
The Cardinals dropped bitterly
fought game to De Paul University
in Chicago, but with that single
exception their work of the year
was outstanding. They reached q
peak against West Virginia Wes-
leyan, and were even more eff.
cient against North Carolina State
College in the mud of a rain
drenched field on Thanksgiving
Day.
The football machine at Catho-
lie University was assembled and
tuned by Arthur Dutch" Berg
man, a Notre Dame halfback who
achieved all-America rating in the
days of George Gipp and other
great football players. Bergman's
coaching experience is broad and
gathered under several masters.
He assisted DR.. Clarence Spears at
Wisconsin.
Basic Principles
He has retained the basic prin-
ciples of Notre Dame football, but
has borrowed wisely where he
found such borrowing beneficial.
Out of this experience and nat.
ural flair for his work, Bergman
wrought a team that won the
admiration Of football fans.
AS Catholic University rose to
national recognition, the young
team at Georgetown University
played sound and interesting foot
ball through a trying schedule.
The Hoyas threw a man's-sized
scare into the Violets of New York
University, losing a game by a
margin of a missed goal from
touchdown.
George WaShington's hopes for
banner year were crushed almost
before the season started. After
edging out a tWo-touchdoWn VIC
tory over Emory-Henry, the Colo
malls met Alabama's Crimson Tide
at Griffith Stadium. A crowd of
10000 rooters saw Alabama pile
up a score of 80 points against
the Buff and Blue.
George Washington suffered an
other bitter disappointment in the
game with Rice Institute. The
Texas outfit ran riot and scored
Al points while blanking the local
team. These major reverses were
bad enough, but the cup of George
WaShington's grief overfloWed
when Wake Forest won a 7-to-6
game. To keep the sequence
straight, Wake Forest was encoun-
tered Just a week before the game
with Rice.
Just over the District line, but
a washington team so far as local
support may be concerned, Uni
versity of Maryland's TerraplnS
played sound and interesting foot.
ball. Maryland bowed to Indiana
of the Big Ten and likewise to
North Carolina. The Tarheels
were the only team to really run
up the score on Maryland.
Quality Good
The quality of football played
throughout the year in the Dis
trict of Columbia was of better
than high quality. The apprecia-
ton of local fans was expressed
and is repeated here to George
Washington for bringing Alabama
and Rice, not to mention Tulsa
and North Dakota, into Washing
ton.
An all-star team was picked at
the end of the season. 1t was
manned by Lou Ennis, Maryland,
and George Mulligan, Catholic
University, ends; Capt. Ed Karpo-
wich, Catholic University, and
Capt. Harry Deming, George
Washington, tackles; Joe Antho-
navage, Catholic University, and
Sid Kolker, George Washington,
guards; Red Rathjen, Catholic
University, center; Irish Carroll,
Catholic University, halfbacK;
Bill Guckeyson, Maryland, half
back: Tuffy Leemans, George
Washington, quarterback, and Joe
Meglen, Georgetown, fullback.
These young men might have
starred with any aggregation OF
football players in the land. Lee
mans was brilliant but handi-
capped by slow interference
throughout the year. But he was
all football player. Irish Carroll
is a youngster, but he's a rip
tearin' sort of kid who can be de-
pended upon to give of his best
at all times. Bill GuckeySon ran
riot against Georgetown, a real
halfback at all times. He can
pass and run and punt. He's q
6O-yard punter under fair cond1'
tions. He was not used as a
