down field men clearing his path
to the goal. Irish Carroll, the
darting, shifting sophomore, ran
50 yards against Western Mary
land without a finger touching
him after he crossed the line of
scrimmage. Three Catholic Uni
versity men were with Carroll as
he crossed the western Maryland
goal line on Saturday, and the
Green shirts were strewn all over
the field.
Spears System
Bergman coaches much of the
Spears system of line play. 1t was
enlightening to observe his men
under high-power field glasses.
There was a swift charge and
rugged contact with the enemy
forwards. When in contact, the
Card linemen began to use their
hands and arms to force their
way through the line. They
blocked the PAGES and positions
by their style of play and made it
difficult for the Terrors to march.
Just once in the first half did
Western Maryland carry the ball
across midfield. Then the Ter
ors marched down to the eight
yard mark, but failing to crown
the march, later blocked a kick
and scored their touchdown. Las
sahn, who was a fine player
throughout the day, blocked a kick
by Foley and recovered the ball.
Foley, by the way gave a great
exhibition of punting. He had
Western Maryland hung on the
goal posts all through the first
half, and one of his drives went
out of bounds on the two-foot
mark. Lucky? Sure he was
lucky, but he shot for the side
lines and scored a direct hit.
And while we're on the subject
of the local teams, the progress
made by Jack Hagerty over at
Georgetown is the subject of much
favorable comment among those
who knew their grid stuff. This
band Of youngsters started slowly.
but they've come along nicely un-
der the tutelage Of their young
coach.
Gotham Raves
Capt. Joe Meglen had Gothag..
critics raving over his power and
speed: over his fine punting and
his great defense. Meg.en was
in the game for so minu:es and at
the end he was playing as bril-
liantly as when the game started.
The Hoya line, with it's power
full lifting charge cleared the way
for the backs, and cutting through
down field assignments, acquitted
itself nicely in the broken field.
Maryland got nothing better
than a scoreless tie with the
hard-fighting Generals from
Washington and Lee. This was
something of a surprise in
day when surprises and form
SomerSaultS were not infrequent.
The games Of the weekend
wrought havoc among Rose Bowl
candidates. Along the Eastern
seaboard, Dartmouth and New
York University are in the run
ming. Princeton definitely will
not accept the invitation Of any
of the bowl committees.
Minnesota still stands in the
Middle West, but the Big Ten
Conference rules prohibit the
Gophers accepting invitations for
poSt-SeaSon games. There's moth
ing in the Northwest and moth
ing in the South. In the Far
West California still remains un-
beaten and united, a dead sure
cinch to act as the host team, it
would seem.
Concentrated Power
There is a concentration of
power in Texas, with Southern
Methodist University and Texas
Christian University remaining
among the unbeaten and united
teams of the year. The Rose
Bowl committee is not inclined
to invite any team from west Of
the Mississippi River and east of
the Rockies to meet the repre-.
sentative of the Pacific coast.
Let's scan the casualty list Of
Saturday. The most surprising
reverse was suffered by North
Cardinals TarheelS, who saw
their Rose Bowl aspirations buried
under a pile of Duke touchdowns.
The Blue Devils had been beaten
by Georgia Tech and Auburn, and
while rated as formidable enough,
did not exactly figure to upset
the Chapel Hill outfit.
Nearly $4,000 football fans, the
greatest crowd that ever saw a
football game in the South, gath
cred to see Duke destroy the Tar
Heels. Ace Parker, star punter
of Duke, was entirely too much
for the vanquished team, and Don
Jackson, the North Carolina half"
back, was completely bottled up
throughout the afternoon.
Reverses Battle
Marquette's eleven toppled from
the ranks of the unbeaten before
the charges of a high-powered
Temple team that would not be
denied. The tricky reverseS and
double reverses that mark Warner
