|HIS topsy-turvy local touch

a senior stars. to elaborate on
one of the pranks that has been
played In our bailiwick by the grid
iron deities. Catholic University's
squadron of seniors was expected to
bow out in blaze of glory, George
town had few who figured on reg
ular jobs and claim to stardom. and
ordinarily Maryland's farewelling Bill
Guckeyson alone would have claimed
all attention at College Park.
In the current interim between
Saturday battles, consider. if you
please the species of Washington grid
hero who has shared. if not stolen,
the spotlight from established SEN
iors. Limiting discussion strictly to
ball carriers, for instance, the case
for sophomores stands especially
strong.
Jack Haeerty took the bull by the
horns last week in Morgantown. and
on the eve of Georgetown's important
clash with West Virginia he yanked.

Keating. In his stead at the quarter
backing post Hagerty sent a slim
youngster named Elmer Moulin

Moulin's strategy was above reproach

No back in Washington. much less
one on his own squad, compares with
Maryland's Guckeyson this season. but,

Nlustrious teammate, GuckeySon.
Only the other day Meade received
high tribute from Hagerty of George
town. He may develop into just as
good a back as Guckeyson, or perhaps
even better" he commented. Meade

NOR are Georgetown and Maryland
alone in producing sophomore
backfield stars. The other members
Of the Districts Big -Four" each has
its entry and fitting nominees for
stardom indeed.
George Washington's is 150-

fitted physically for heavy-duty serv-
Ice. Sampson is likely to spend his two
remaining years of varsity foot ball
as a part-time player. For 10 min
utes at time he promises to be as
tricky a runner as anybody in town
next year. Then he will need a rest.
But, Commute performer or not,
Sampson seems destined to win a
place among the standout backs of
this section.
More in the background to date has
been Catholic University's entry in
the sophomore elite. He is Burke
Vidnovic. a Russian boy from Nc

Sampson he is not big player. Vid-

Dutch Bergman took inventory last

Irish Carroll, for one, is a dubious
