r MODERATED Catholic Univer-
sity has most reason to be
pleased with its foot ball
~ team, but it's fact that none
'of the coaches of the Districts big
four was without grippe today.
George Washington, which meets
West virginia Friday night at Grif-
fifth Stadium, will concentrate in
practice on pass defense in which a
weakness made it appear ridiculous at
times against Alabama.
The Colonials were okay in this
department against Catawba, but IN
West Virginia they will meet team
that specializes in aerial play, and
Head Coach Pixlee Skips the Redskins
and harkens back to Alabama IN
mapping his plans for the week
Dutch Bergman at G. U. Is howllng
for a quarterback. 1t seems that Pete
Dranginis didn't call the right plays
often enough against Duquesne ana
prevented the Cards from beating
the Dukes more decisively. Whether
Pete had in mind the Detroit scouts
in the stands or simply forgot some
choice maneuvers planned against
Duuuesne is a question he will be
asked today at a skull session.
Makofske Is Savior.
SEORTUNATELY for u.s. said Chick
l. Kenny, the c. u. publicity man,
TODAY. Bob Makofske had great
evening with his boots. Bob kicked
out to midfield five times from oehlno
the goal. Three times the line saved
us from being scored on.
I C. U. will meet an undefeated team
Mt Detroit, but Gus Dorias. the Detroit
roach. is worried over the game. He
rates the Cards as one of the strongest
teams on the Titan schedule.
It has weight, speed, good forward
passing and topnotch kick:ng-every-
thing, in fact, a team needs 10 go 10
town. Dorais has been Informed by
his scouts.
In their only other meeting, two
years back, Detroit beat the Cards.
26-o. but regarded it as the Iltans
toughest battle of the year.
Georgetown looks for rocky travel
ing against Miami University Satur-
dav at Griffith Stadium. and Coach
Eaeerty is bent upon developing a
scoring punch, something his greatly
improved Hoyas lacked against no
anoke, although winning l6-o. Against
the Maroon. the Hoyas made 2o nrst
downs. gained 2l4 yards by rushing
and 90 by passing yet were able TO
cross the goal only twice, and once
at that, on an intercepted pass.
Georgetown was within the l0-yard
line no less than six times without
being able to score. -Four OF It's orlVes
against Albright the week pe1ore
petered out near the goal.
Hoya Laterals Flashy.
CEORGETOWN'S laterals consti-
~ tuted some of the 1ashiest foot
ball PLAYED here this season. The
Hoyas' efficiency in this style OF Of
fense at times was a little startling.
They surprised, too, with the extent
Of their improvement over the pre-
yious week. Jack Hagerty and MS
chief aide. Mush Dubofsky, are GOOD
coaches and If the Hoyas have any
luck against injuries, they should be
an excellent team by midseason.
Jim Pixlee lost no time on his re-
t,Irn from Pittsburgh in telling the
G. w. players what they will be up
against when the Mountaineers come
to town for the first time In several
years. ,r
Pixlee and his backfield coach, Bill
Reinhart, were impressed most thor
oushly with the West Virginia over
head pyrotechnics. They failed to
beat Pitt in a 24-6 contest, but the
Panthers had trouble stopping the
Mountaineer passing attack.
With the addition Of Carl Brum-
baugh, former Chicago Bear passing
specialist to his coaching staff, Trusty
Tallman has gone in strong for aerial
stuff, with Brumbaugh developing the
skill of Halfbacks Joe Cooke, Kelly
Moan and Leo Fizer, among others.
Lesson for Maryland.
ESPECIALLY capable, Pixlee re-
ported to his men, is Kelly Moan,
6-foot sophomore, who gave West Vir-
ginia its lone touchdown against Pitt
on a beautiful long toss to Babe Bar
ma, an end.
Against Catawba G. W.'s pass de-
tense looked good largely because the
passer was rushed. One especially
gratifying defensive performance was
turned in by Fullback Herb Reeves,
who intercepted pass and ran for
touchdown. Reeves, it will be recalled,
permitted an Alabama end to get be-
tween him and the goal to catch a
long heave that led to the Tides first
touchdown.
Blocking remains an important
item on the Colonial training pro-
gram.
Maryland, which goes to Lexington
Saturday for the Cadets Homecoming
game, learned some jolting lessons
from its 800 defeat by great North
Carolina eleven.
THE Carolina attack" says one COM
petent observer, Craig Taylor, writing
in the Baltimore Sun, with its excel
lent blocking, offers a flrst-hand illus
tration to the Terrapins of how their
own offense can be improved. The
Maryland line simply is not equal to
the task of holding of adversaries
of nearly even strength, coached to
charge in upon multiple pass plays
that take too many seconds to de-
velop.
'"The Maryland type Of offense can
be made to work and at times smother
an opponent, but rarely will it sue
