Students Hail
Players And
Coaches

With the cheers of the entire
student body, plus an additional
below of "rah-rah-rahS" from the
rejuvenated alumni, the Catholic
University departed today for De
troit, where it will stack up against
the undefeated University of De-
troit Titans Saturday afternoon.
A party of 81 players, Coach
Dutch Bergman and Assistant
Coach Fod Cotton, Trainer George
Lentz, Manager Francis Sweeney
and several lesser lights of the
athletic department, boarded the
train to arrive in the Automobile
City tomorrow morning at sos
O'Clock. The Flying Cardinals will
then HE to Webster Hall, c. U.
headquarters, where a steaming
breakfast will be awaiting them.
Tomorrow afternoon the outfit
will stage a drill in the Detroit
University Stadium scene of the
most important conflict on the
Card schedule this season. The
invading C. U. team will leave De-
troit at midnight and will arrive
in Pittsburgh early Sunday morn.
ing, where the team will attend
mass in a body. The Cardinals
will arrive in Washington, Sunday
evening at 5:55.
Big Test
The result Of the game between
Catholic University and Detroit
will determine whether or not the
Cardinals have a real team this
season. Against DuqueSne, the
Cards were taxed to the utmost
to win the fray, what with the
sleet and the snow to make the
sod slippery underfoot, and a
flock Of tough breaks at the start
Of the game, which kept C. U. con-
tinually in a hole. A dry field
and some highly concentrated
quarterbacking would have given
the c. U. eleven an easy win.
But the game with Detroit will
be entirely different than that
with DuqueSne, as far as the
Cardinals are concerned. The
Titans win be a hard fighting or
ganization which has not only an
undefeated record to date, but
also an uncrossed goal line. When
it was learned that not one of
the three Detroit opponents have
gotten inside of the Titan 28-yard
line to date, it has stirred the
C. u. eleven to a high pitch often.
sively. And Detroit has met Mt.
Pleasant Teachers, Haskell InSti-
tute and Oklahoma A and M.
The loss Of Shag ShaughneSSy,
second string fuIlback Of the
team, Is not as keenly felt by the
Brooklanders as 1t appears in the
papers. ShaughneSSy has played
but little football in the Cardinal
backfield this season. Against
DuqueSne, his duration in the fray
was approximately four minutes.
MakOfske Ready
Aside from this, Bob Makofske
proved to Coach Bergman that he
has come back with a bang by
his DuqueSne work, after report
ing to the club in fall training far
below weight. His fine kicking
display was responsible for the
Cardinal win over the highly rated
Dukes.
For reserves at the fullback
post, Coach Bergman will have
George Orth who has been COM
ing along nicely throughout the
season, and Sully Greco, sopho-
more speed demon, who has been
making quite Did for a starting
assignment the last two weeks.
It is believed that Pete Drang-
inis will fit in at quarterback
again. Pete has been playing
headSup ball throughout the
Detroit" sessions against the
frosh team all week. And along
with Irish Carroll and, Of course,
Bill AdamaitiS will pair at the
halfback posts. No changes are
contemplated by the Cardinal
mentor along the forward wall.
