MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 1.-The great
est team that ever wore the red
and black of Catholic University,
rested today after one Of The most
thrilling football games that ever
graced a poSt-season gridiron. The
flying Cardinals lasted long enough
to beat the raging eleven Of Uni
versity Of Mississippi in the Orange
Bowl by a single point yesterday.
In the blighting heat of a per.
feet Florida day-cool to the ma
tives, but enervating to men who
rode overnight from ankle-deep
snow to find summer at its peak
the Cardinals were staggering
and weary at the end. Staggering
and weary they were indeed, but
With indomitable grit, with I'm.
conquerable souls, the wearerS Of
the Red and Black fought the ele.
mentS and eleven gallant foemen
until time came to their aid and
ended the strife.
The Cardinals were the better
team, as football teams go. In
the flush of their power in the
first half they proved their Superi.
ority. They marched SIS yards for
touchdown in the first period,
the longest march of the game.
They mixed power with deception
and crowned the hike with q lat.
eral pass that sent Bill AdamaitiS
over the line without a hand be.
ing laid on him.
Result Of Pass
Their second touchdown was
the result of a long forward pass
from Adamaitis to the flying
Foley, and it ate up approximately
IS yards. All Of this was in the
first half.
In the second half Joe Yanchul.
lis blocked a quick kick and
RydeWski recovered to run for a
touchdown. It was reported that
the latter had done the job alone,
but this was not true.
Ole Miss, which had scored
once in the first half, dominated
the closing minutes as completely
as Navy dominated Franklin
Field against Army. But Ole Miss
lost because a deadly kicker
missed twice. Richardson, with q
record of 26 successful attempts
out of 80 lost his bearings, and
on the false course of the ball
hinged the result Of a great ball
game. a--o.-.s-y-
Ray Hapes, the 165-pound demon
Of Ole Miss, was all over the
field, turning in run after run
until he had the Cardinal tacklerS
in a panic. If this boy had
played with a stronger team
throughout the season his name
would be linked with Riley Smith,
with Jay Berwanger and Bobby
Grayson. No back ever was
greater.
Runs 81 Yards
Rodgers and Peters wede great.
The latter ran 81 yards for q
touchdown off a double reverse
that developed around Mulligan'S
end. Mulligan was mouse-trapped
on the play and the secondaries
were moved down as the ball
moved along.
The redoubtable Captain Pop
eye Karpowich STAYED off trouble
in the last minute of play. Fol.
lowing Poole's touchdown on a
pass from Baumstein, the Cards
elected to receive. One minute re.
NAMED to play and Catholic Uni
VerSity intended to squeeze the
ball. But desperate Old Miss gam
bled. AS well be beaten by q
point, and so a short kick off was
attempted.
Karpowich caught the ball and
squeezed it tight. Dranginis took
a lot Of time in calling plays, and
at last came the welcome respite.
If we get down to cases on the
game, Ole Miss scored all of its
points on Catholic UniverSity's
second string players. The Red
and Blue had fast running backs.
They just started and ran like
hell, and it was up to you to catch
them if you could. HapeS just
hollered:
interference get behind me-"
Joe Anthonavage is as good a
guard as you are going to meet
in long time.
UprOOtS Plays
While he was in there the mid
die area of the c. U. line was
closed tight. He uprooted the
plays and that was all there was
to it. YanchulliS was brilliant as
long as he was able to fight off
the heat, and then big Gomle
went in there and did himself
proud.
Foley punted to beat the deck.
He drove the ball SIS yards from
the point of kick repeatedly and
had the better of Bernard in al
most every exchange. Poole out
ran Foley once and caught the
pass that resulted in the Dixie
Teams third touchdown. It was
a rare bit of racing and passing.
The statistics will show perhaps
that Ole Miss had the better Of
play. That cannot be disputed ex-
cept for the a1l-important fact
that the Cards won. In the first
half the blocking and running Of
the lads was superb. But in the
third period the heat wore them
down.
What does it matter, the heat,
the statistics and all the rest. The
