Cardinals Gird
ForLaSaIIe
Gridders

The Catholic University football
team began prepping in earnest
for the inaugural football game
on its schedule with La Sale Col
lege Of Philadelphia Saturday
afternoon in the C. U. Stadium.
Freshmen, equipped with La
Sale plays used in defeating
Davis ElkinS last week, will be en-
ployed today in a scrimmage with
the varsity. In La Sale, the
Cardinals have picked as formid-
able an opening day opponent as
any team will meet this season in
this section.
Already the Explorers hold q
40 decision over DaviS-ElkinS
and, according to Fod Cotton who
secuted the La Sale outfit, the
game is anything but a set-up. In
trouncing the West Virginians,
La Sale played under wraps. Next
to nothing was obtained from the
play of the team. Only four for.
ward passes were thrown by
Marty Brill's eleven and all Of
these were completed. La Sale
used straight football and no
trick formations that was char
acteristic of the invaders last
year.
In defeating DaviS-Elkins, the
Quaker City crew extended it's
winning streak to nine straight
games. After tieing C. U. in the
opener, 6-6, here last season, the
Explorers went on to win eight
straight, numbering among their
victims Villanova, West Chester,
st. Thomas, Mount St. Mary's,
st. Vincent'S and st. Joseph'S.
For the past three campaigns,
the Philadelpkians h We &C
counted for IA wins, five defeats
and five tie games. The worst
beating ever administered to the
club occurred in 1888 when losing
to C. u, 37-6. Not once over this
span of battles have the Explorers
failed to score.

There is no doubt that Ned
Thomas, the fleet halfback, who
substituted for Sneed Schmidt in
the place held by Buzz Berries

consideration than before the
