tends to do Frank Buck" O'Neill
most of his scrimmaging in the
early weeks of the season, sparing
his boys that horse work later in
the year when they will need their
power and reserve for actual
games. This does not mean that
corrective scrimmages will not be
held at any time, and there will
be special drills for particular
games, with maneuvering Of de-
fense to meet power or speed in
the attack of the rival team.
A great halfback at Notre Dame
in the days of George Gipp, Bach
man and some of those others
who made the Eastern football
sector gasp by beating West Point
with too great frequency, Berg
man has absorbed football from
other schools. He worked under
DR.. C. w. Spears, at Minnesota,
and today will tell you that the
former Dartmouth star is one of
Americas outstanding gridiron
specialists.
"Our work tomorrow will be
light and we will attempt moth
ing but the elementary stuff"
Bergman said today. For the
next two weeks we will have
double drills, working on fun
damentals. Our chief aim will
be to bring the boys along
slowly. Some of the squad
worked during the summer.
They will report in fair cOndi-
ton.
"SOme Of the others will re-
port soft and overweight. Some
will be underweight. These are
the usual early-seasOn problems
of a coach and we must treat
each player as his individual
needs demand"
What kind Of a team did he
expect?
For moment Bergman twisted
his ear in silence. Then a slow
smile played across his face.
I'VE hope to have a good
team" he replied. eve have
lost some good men. Red Flem-
ing is gone. He was good end.
Tom Gearty and Gerry and Tom
Oliver are among the missing.
Oliver was a great punter. His
punt against Western Maryland
which travelled "a yards was a
record performance and is
recorded among the all.time per-
fOrmanceS in football.
Gus Augustefer, our quarter
back, is now playing professional
football. He signed with the
Pittsburgh professionals. Bill
Confer, last years captain, is
also among the missing. Others
moved along and are out Of
school.
"But we have some replace
mentS who showed real ability
during the spring practice and
scrimmage. Guess we'll be all
right when the first whistle
blows"
No football coach ever is will
ing to talk about winning teams
and successful seasons at this
time of year. Therefore Berg
mans statement that he guessed
the Cardinals would be all right
must be construed as meaning
that he is fairly confident Of q
good season.
Carroll in Backfield
1t is an open secret at Brook
land that Maurice Carroll, 1T
pounds of football power, is ex-
pected to win a starting berth in
the backfield. HoWdie Walker
named Howard by his doting par
entS-is another who showed more
than promise in the spring games.
This Walker boy is only S feet 6
inches in height but he weighs
1876 pounds. He stands close to
the ground and runs closer. He
has a knack of putting just a lit
tie more power into his charge
Just before he's hit.
They seem to think pretty well
of Shag Shaughnessy, who has
two letters to his credit. This
year should be the big one for
Shag, or so the dope runs at this
time.
For the time being Carroll,
Walker and ShaughnesSy are Sec
ond call backs, but do not be sur
prised if the November games find
them IN the starting line.
Karpowich at Tackle
Edward Karpowich is captain
of the Cardinals this season. "Old
Popeye," the boys call him out
there, and if you've followed
Catholic University football, you
know that he is a tackle of power
and range. Clements looms "a
the other starting tackle with
KarpoWich.
Anthonavage is set for on(
guard post, but Sochon, a year
ling, is held in high esteem, and
is likely to make a strong bid fol
starting honors by the time thu
late season games roll around
Soshon is another chunk of
man, 5 feet 7 inches in height
and weighing 1876 pounds.
