For Cards

Football at Catholic University
promises to liven up aplenty from
now until the Cards first game of
the esason.
For today, Coach Dutch Berg
man made his appearance, follow
ing summer sojourn in the Mid
die West. The genial and capable
nentcr was met by one of his as
sistantS, Fod Cotton, at the train,
and the pair Immediately went
into a discussion of the grid
teams work between now and next
month when the grind will then
become ardorouS.
Bob Makofske was one of the
players talked about by Bergman
ad Cotton. Both see great deeds
for the lad this season, particu-
larry since his efforts of 1884
stamrcd him such a coming
gridder.
Imagine a guy who warmed the
bench throughout most of a foot
ball season wind up the campaign
leading his team in scoring with
81 points, and finishing in eighth
position on the list of the leading
scorers of the East.
Such is the case of Bob Ma
kofske, the laundering fullback of
the Catholic University grid team
this year, who did that very thing
last season.
Scores Twice
Naturally from the number of
points scored, it wasn't because
Makofske didn't know what to do
with football when he got hold
of it that he rode the bench the
greater part of the season, but it
was from that old jinx that is the
bane of every coach and football
player-an injury.
Several weeks before the season
got under way, Makofske sus-
tanned hurt of his left leg. For
while it was believed that his
services would be lost for the sea-
son. And it wasn't until the
schedule was three-eighths COM
pleted that the blonde-haired Car
dinal sophomore took his position
on the field of play. And from
then on Mac carried the mail"
On his ten touchdown jaunts in
1884, Makofske travelled twice to
scores from the 52-yard line
against Oglethorpe and Manhat-
tan; once he broke through the
University of South Dakota team
for a 29-yard touchdown; while
the remaining Six-pointers were
plunged through from inside the
ten-yard mark.
His rip-snorting forward wall
plunging so impressed the Du"
quesne University team that it
placed him at fullback position on
the all-opponent eleven of that
club over such StalwartS as Vice.

Hampstead Grad
The Cardinal fullback is a
graduate of Hampstead NYO
High School where he played a
half-back position on the team
that won the Long Island cham
pionship in 1928. Throughout his
prep school years he was either
the leading point scorer in his
territory or runner-up for tally
honors. Never has he been taken
out of a game because Of injuries.
Makofske is a Junior in the
School of Arts and Sciences ana

son Of play with BIS. degree.
He works with a road gang dur
ing the summer to keep in con-
dition for the fall grid sport.
Aside from football he plays
on his class basket ball team.
Aside from sports he is interested
in the debating team. From this
it would not be surprising to see
him register in law school follow
ing his undergraduate days at
Catholic University. With that
science degree he is working for.
