Cardozo Battles
Dunbar Friday

Dunbar and Cardozo High

noon at 2:3O o'clock in the Walker
Stadium to open the annual city

colored high schools.
The game is expected to be a
thriller from start to finish rs the
Poets do not have fast charging
aggregation this season and the
Clerks are going through the best
year in the history of football at
the baby of the high schools.
Dunbar has tasted defeat several
times while Cardozo has the
honor of being the only team in
the South Atlantic conference to
win over the strong Bates High
eleven of Annapolis.
A victory over Dunbar will place
the Clerks in a position as strong
favorites over Armstrong Tech,
the defending title holder, whom
they engage on November Is. Not
since entering the city series less
than a decade ago has the Car
dozo boys been able to defeat

Cards Seeking
Lost Grid
Prestige

The Catholic University football
team is preparing earnestly for its
race to get in top form for it's all
important game with West Vir-
GINA Wesleyan in the C. U. STA
dunn Saturday afternoon.
That the Cardinals must win to
regain a certain amount Of lost
prestige because of its pair OF
drubbings in the South the last
two weeks, is the opinion of every
member of the C. U. football team.
A victory over the highly regarded
Bobcats will do much to bring
the team up the ladder, as Yves
leyan at the present time is one
of the top flight clubs of the East
by reason of its splendid win over
Duquesne University, the team
that humbled Pitt, and BANKED
Rice.
That the Bobcats are not the
team to let down following a note
worthy win over strong rival
such as Duquesne. can best be
attested by the fact that the week
following the Duke upset, Yves
leyan journeyed to Waynesburg,
and there decisively thumped
Wesleyan College with no less
than five regulars out of the
lineup.
Those who witnessed the clash
last season between Wesleyan and
the Flying Cardinals in Griffith
Stadium still recall the great
brand of defensive work staged
by the West Virginians. It was
only because the Cards wore down
the team with a continual parade
of substitutes, that Wesleyan
failed to hold the c. U. team to a
6-6 tie. The Cards steamrolled
two touchdowns over the Yves
leyan C-string in the last five
minutes of the fourth period.
Catholic U. will present the fol
lowing eight seniors in its starting
lineup: Ends. Capt. Henri e
Schmarr and Zeke Brown; Ell
wood Clements, tackle; Joe An
thonavage and Dick Arnold
guards; Joe Yanchulis. center;
Bob Makofske, fullback, and Bill
Adamaitis, halfback.

Co|onia|s F e a +
inconsistent
Ddvis-EIkins

An inconsistent, but neverthe-
less troublesome, Davis and ElklnS
eleven will afford the opposition
for George Washington'S ColonialS
Saturday afternoon in Griffith
Stadium when the Buff gridmen
will try to resume winning ways
following their initial defeat Of
the season at the hands of Rice'S
powerful Owls.
A George Washington victory
seems assured by every means of
calculation comparative strength,
yet it is the plan of the Buff
coaches to take no chances and
to use their most effective lineup
from the opening whistle.
By defeating D. and E. and then
Catawba, the ColonialS will go into
their homecoming day game with
West Virginia on Thanksgiving
Day with chance to set the best
record in G.. w. gridiron history.
BY winning these next three games
the Colonials will have scored
seven triumphS as against one loss
and scoreless tie. In the past six
victories in one season have been
the most scored by a Buff football
team.
Davis and Elkins was the victim
of a SIT defeat here last season
when the Colonial offense was
working to perfection. The Buff
coaches do not expect a duplica-
ton of that contest, especially in
view of the fact that the Senators
have habit of annoying favored
opponents.
Comparative Scores
The Senators last week lost to
st. Vincent'S of Pennsylvania, 270.
but earlier in the season upset the
dope by outplaying and holding
Geneva to ScoreleSs tie. st. Vim
cents defeated West Virginia Wes-
layan, conqueror of Duquesne, go,
and Geneva bowed to Wesleyan
only by the margin of an extra
point after touchdown, 7-6. The
comparison of D. and E. and West
Virginia wesleyan on those scores
doesn't make the Senator club ap-
pear too much of soft foe.

ington generated in rallying to

FISHING
according to
Iz1ak WaLtOn)

It is appropriate to say at this
time that our choice of a candi-
date for election by the fishermen
is old RockfiSh. The other candi-
date, Scrapping Bill BluefiSh, says
he does not choose to run, and has
headed South for warm weather.
Mr.. Rockfish has extended his
platform this year to include the
water from Chesapeake Beach to
Point Lookout, and folks it looks
like a real one-sided affair from
now to the middle OF December.
Lesser candidates who also will
run are Trouty McWeakfiSh and
Spots Norfolk.
The principal candidate favorS
cold weather for heaviest returns.
In some quarters we have heard
rumors of Mr.. Toadfish attempt
ing to stuff the ballot box.
It looks as though the Bay
SLdCG is OuU VI GL1C u11A1AAAS do VAAC
candidates have Swum> to the
rivers to fight it out and the logi-
cal place to get the most and larg-
est returns will be the Triangle off
Tall Timbers, to where, our choice
has gone.
Scrapping Bill Bluefish made a
last and vigorous stand in the Bay
State during the past two weeks
at which time many votes were
cast for IL to IA pound beauties.
but fearing his social security and
cold weather he retired in favor
of warm water.
We warn you that balloting in
this election will be close so recon-
mend that you reserve your boat
in advance, take spoons, soft crab
bloodworms and june bug Spinners
with you and work at the polls
from 10 to 6 as the returns are
heaviest during these hours.

offer a tight battle. N. Y. U. IN
its last several games has concen-
trated it's attack in the final
period. This time, the VloletS WILL
have to be up and at 'em right
from the start, or the VioletS will
fade. Even if N. Y. U. does its
best, Carnegie should come
through.
Other Games
Choices in other games:
George Washington University,
which proved it can play such
touch competition as is offered by
the Southwestern Conference, and
look good doing it, should win
over Davis-Elkins with compare
tive ease. The ColonialS clash
with DE. in Griffith Stadium on
Saturday.
Randolph-Macon meets Ameri-
can University on Saturday. The
Eagles probably will not be strong
enough to hold RIM.
Gallaudet's Silents may ana
may not be overmatched playing
City College of New York, but one
cannot escape the thought tnat
Gallaudet will be defeated.
Duquesne meets Washington
University on Friday night. The
Dukes ought to win.
Shout Beat Albright
Western Maryland should win
over Albright; Arizona should de
feat New Mexico; Rice probably
will win over Arkansas, although
the Razorbacks on a dry field will
prove mighty dangerous; Baylor
will have a tough time with Okla
homa City but should win; Boston
College probably will take NORTH
Carolina State; Bowdoin ought tc
defeat Maine.
The Catholic University team
must come back strong if the
Cards are to check West Virgins
Wesleyan. More than likely
Dutch" Bergman'S team will take
this one.
