ington's two M q
best ends. Frank "Buck'' o'NefI
Now can almost hear you say
ing to yourselves "Yurwitz played
in only one game so far"
Objection is noted but not sus-
tanned. 1t doesn't make any diff
ference whether Yurwitz played
one game or one hundred. He
showed enough stuff against West
Virginia to stamp him in this
agents book as one of the best
ends you're going to see. All he
has to do is keep up the good
work.
Dutch" Bergman, coach of
Catholic University, is not a man
who returns from football games
raving over the play of a kid. A
veteran of Notre Danes stuff,
and selected on more than one all
star team himself, Bergman has
seen some fair to middlin' flanke-5
up and down the football trail.
When ile says Mulligan is the
goods, that's enough for this
agent.
Teamed With Schnarr
Mulligan teamed with Schnarr
in scoring the winning touchdown
against the Detroit Titans. He
caught a forward pass and threw
a lateral to Schnarr. That was
an outstanding achievement, but
catching forwards and throwing
lateralS are not the prime essen
tials of end play.
There are a dozen details on
the attack, such as charging a
tackle out, cutting through to
take down a line support or wing
back, and carrying the ball
around the other end. On the
/ defensive you've got to smash in
and shake hands with the ball
carrier. spreading the interfer-
ence and getting the runner when
possible. The smashing end is
not concerned about the runner
getting outside of him if he can
take down the protecting screen.
Mulligan did this at Detroit in
fine style, and therefore his work
on forward passes while spectacu.
lar and individually brilliant was
of minor consequence along side
of his other work. No. we're not
forgetting that you've got to score
before you can win, and Mulligan
certainly was a factor in the
scoring.
Yurwitz Thunderbolt
Yurwitz was a thunderbolt on
the Colonials' flanks on Friday
night. He drove through the
Mountaineer interference to nail
runners without benefit of aid
from his tackles, except when
Kolker was at the work-horse
position.
Now this boy Yurwitz loves to
play football. He has been en-
thusiastic in his work from the
start of the season and sitting
on the bench did not rob his
play of one jot of zeSt. Once
he got into action he showed
everyone at Griffith Stadium just
what could be expected Of him
1t is safe to predict that he will
be the starting end for the rest
of the season.
Navy starts building today for
the battle with Notre Dame. The
Midshipmen played slashing foot
ball against an Eli team that
seems to have the knack of max
ing touchdownS spring from
thruStS beyond midfield.
Shakes Runner Free
The modified Notre Dame sys-
tenn as played at Yale has fea-
tured the short side reverse that
shakes a runner into the open.
With HesSberg and Frank run
ming the ball behind we'll masked
counter plays, Eli has gone
along.
Navy learned something about
the short side reverses and swift
Spinners that shoot man into
the clear. 1t may be a very
tough team to beat on Saturday.
1t is pointed out by the very
well-informed George Simpson
that seldom has a Notre Dame
team resorted to a field goal to
win. In other years it was touch
down or nothing. But it pointed
out also that no team should
scorn victory even by field goal
Notre Dame is simply in stride
with the spirit of the times and
is taking it's victories by what
ever route is closest to hand.
