But the Cardinals, 1t seems, nevefthe-
less were bent upon taking the game
in stride.
Maybe they'll listen to me after
this" growled Bergman. who added:
These C. U. fellows still have the
Orange Bowl nag hanging out of their

To the credit of the Cardinals, how
ever, let it be said they played money
ball when the big clutch came.
If any noggin deflation was needed
by the Redbirds it came at an oppor-
tune time for De Paul in its tight game
with Illinois and its victory over Day
ton proved beyond question it has
class. De Paul considered Its game
with Illinois an upset.
Maryland Disappointed.
MARYLAND was disappointed KEEN
AA ly in the failure of its running
and passing attack against North
Carolina, which netted only 81 yards
in the 14-0 defeat. That was the
smallest amount Of ground gained by
an Old Line team in many years
against any opponent.
But there were a couple of bright
features in the play of the Terrapins.
They outclassed the Tarheels in re-
turning punts, which they brought
back 139 yards against Carolina's 18.
Nearly all those 139 yards represented
an unusual performance by Coleman
Headley. Counting punt returns,
Maryland covered almost as much
ground actually as North Carolina

regular on the team, probably pre-
vented higher score through a ster-

lower put it today, "Uuless we get
back Bill Guckeyson, in fairly good
shape, Maryland won't have more than
q $3.50 chance against Virginia"
The Cavaliers apparently have their
strongest team of recent campaigns.
It was able to ring up two touchdowns
against the Navy Saturday and that
the Middies made their victory de-
cisive, IS to IA, was due greatly to
superior reserve strength.

Cause for G. w. to Worry.

~ and sensational aerial blast let
loose by Arkansas to beat Baylor,
14-l0, sounded today in Washington
and were painful to the ears OF Jim
Pixlee, G. w. coach.
In three games this season the
Colonials have shown to advantage
in every phase Of foot ball except pass
defense. G. w. stopped the passing
attack of Emory and Henry by crowd
ing the HEAVIER. The Elon hippers
had more chance, but lacked capable
receivers. Still it was demonstrated
by Elon that the Colonials might be
unusually vulnerable to team with
. skilled passing combination. In Fall
scrimtnages with Maryland the Bun
and Blue was almost pitiful In its
efforts to ground the thrown oval.
Arkansas will present perhaps the
most aerial l-minded team Of any i'm
portance in the country. Against
Texas Christian, to which it lost by
q small margin, Arkansas completed
a. out Of Al passes, the Christians
also having a large percentage Of
successes. Against Baylor, with the
fourth quarter well under way. the
Razorbacks appeared to be whipped
team, when suddenly they yanked the
rame from the oven with two aerial
touchdowns. s.
It is conceivable that George Wash
ington will attempt to fight fire with
fire Friday night. The Colonials had
q pile of aerial ammunition to shoot
against Mississippi but rain prevented.
This stuff and more they have ready
for Arkansas, which, Texas Christian
proved, is not safe against aerial bonn
bardment. -
