 Washington, April 15-If the results in spring training have anything to do with 1t, Catholic University's football team is going places this fall. Six practice games three with the University of Nary land, two with Georgetown Uni versity and a single tussle with the Navy at Annapolis, have been marked upon the righ. side of the ledger by impressive scores.
 In the trio of spring training tilts with the Maryland Terps, the Catholic U. Cards have run up no less than three touchdowns on each occasion: while against Georgetown, the Red Birds trounced out two touchdowh margin in single period of play, and a few days later in a full- fiedged battle would have run up at least fifty points had an accur- ate account been kept of the touchdowns that slid over the Hoy as' goal line. Last week against the Navy, the team representing c. U. next fall pounded out a 32- point win. The Middies were with out the services of their captain by the face that Howard Walker, brilliant freshman back, was out of the Cardinal lineup due to 4 shoulder injury. Walker may be . regular next fall.
 Bright Future
 So it looks like a Catholic Unl- versity year, and If present indica- tions in the manner in which the lads are showing up in the spring drills are duplicated throughout the tough slate next fall, 1t will Dc the first undefeated football team Catholic U. has even boasted.
 With sixteen lettermen back, and no less than a dozen crack freshmen footballers to fill in at the reserve positions, Coach Dutch Bergman, has ample strength to throw against such strong outfits as North Carolina State, Dr- quesne, De Paul, Detroit, West Virginia Wesleyan, La Sale and Western Maryland. Heretofore, the Cards have lacked reserve strength but that day has passed, as borne out this spring.
 Four Nutmcggers
 Bergman has three complete teams, with the second and third string outfits practically as potent as the first line of activity. It is in- teresting to note that Connecticut is well represented on the squad with Hermie Schmarr, former New Britain star, regular end; Pete Dranginis, Torrington, ace quarter back of the team; Shag Shaugh- messy, reserve fullback from New Jersey, who now makes his home in New Britain; and George Null ligan, Waterbury, who has been converted from regular end to substitute fullback.
 The Cards lost but four regu- lars from the team last year. They were Captain Bill Conter, tackle whose spot has been flied by Ed Clements: Francis Fleming, end whose spot will be taken bs Schmarr; Tom Oliver, fuIlback whose position has been filled by Bob Makofske, the eighth high scoring gridder in the country last season despite the fact that he wa' q substitute; and Gene Auguster' fer, who has bowed out of com petition to make way for Dran' ginis, Zeke Brown has taken ovci George Mulligans left end assign ment.

 Dutch Bergman was anxious tt have his team play in New Eng land this fall, but uDfortunatelS elevens in that sector were unable to agree on date with the Card final mentor.
