The team that walks off the

unbeaten teams when they're
available, and the survivor of this
strife will be unbeaten.
Local Teams Win
Catholic University and George
Washington University closed
their years with victory in the
slime and ooze of gumbo gridirons
yesterday. In these two games

mans will be seen no more in the
uniforms of George Washington.
Capt. Popeye Karpowich, George
Mulligan, Pete Dranginis, Hall
McGann and Bill Lajousky are
through at Catholic University.
It was a great game of football
that Catholic University played
in the slime and mud of Griffith
Stadium. The Cardinals won by
a touchdown and a safety. In
the third period Joe Yanchulis
stormed through the line and
blocked kick by Barden and the
leather bounced drunkenly over
the end zone for an automatic
safety. 1t was announced in the
press stand that Captain Karpo-
wich had blocked that ball but
the stout captain gave credit
where credit was due after the
game and said that Yanchulis
had made the play.
For a considerable period it
seemed that the safety made pos
sible by the smashing play of the
Stalwart center would be the sole
count Of the day. But in the
middle of the fourth period Irish
Carroll broke around the Wolf
packs right end and, speeding
down the SidelineS, he cleared Al
yards for a touchdown.
After CarrolI's Run
This score came right after Car
roll had made another dash
which was nullified by a penalty
for arguing with the officials. It
seems that the head lineman did
not like the comment of the Cards
on some of his decisions. If that
same head linesman only had had
a cornet or a trumpet he would
have out-tooted Sousa. If he could
have played the scales he would
have been funnier, too.
The chart of the game shows
how completely Catholic University
outplayed the Carolinians through.
out the second half. Just once in
the last two periods did the Wolf
pack runners lug the ball beyond
midfield. That once was in the
final quarter when the flying Rob
inson broke loose for scintillant
dash only to tumble when tackled
hard. The ubiquitous Joe An
thonavage jumped on the loose
ball and soon a long punt drove
the visitors back over the ankle
deep gridiron.
Those who will can talk Of the
great run of Carroll. 1t was great,
and the wonder was that he kept
his feet in the going. But the
story of that game at Griffith
Stadium was told in the play Of
the Cardinal line from tackle
to tackle. You are not going to
see greater tackle play in a long
time than Popeye Karpowlch
showed in that sloshing mud strife
yesterday.
He was first across the line re-
peatedly, tackling high or low, but
always tackling; always in the
play. George Mulligan may or
may not be a great end, but he
was around and about in that rain,
doing something all the time. An
thonavage was the beau ideal OF
guards in the gumbo. When guards
are downfield recovering fumbles,
it must be said to their credit that
they're doing these things.
In the first half Of the game
North Carolina State had a de-
cided edge, and twice in the first
period had the ball inside Of the
card 2O-yard line. When fortune
turned, however, it executed q
complete and a correct right about
face.
Bardes sent a long punt down
the field to the Card 10yard line.
It was a trying situation under
the conditions, but Pete Dranginis
called on Bob Makofske to punt,
and the Ieft-footer kicked beauti.
