ROPPING two potent aerial
bombs in quick succession,
Catholic Universitys Flying
Cardinals hung up their Sec
ond straight gridiron triumph of the
season yesterday at Brookland Sta
dium by turning back Loyola of New
Orleans gallant, but enfeebled, Wolf
pack, IA to 0.
Making its local debut, Catholic
University presented 22-year-ol
Burke Vidnovic of McKeesport, Pa,
as the trigger man" With unfailing
accuracy Vidnovic aimed two passes
at swiftly moving teammates and
scored hits in the first l6 minutes
OF play to give Catholic its touch
downs.
Playing we'll within themselves, the
Cardinals were content to protect this
lead and, in the process. avenge a
6-to-0 beating by Loyola in 1886 The
enemy tested and found not everly
dangerous, Catholic spent the rest of
q routine foot ball afternoon out
kicking and generally outplaying a
team whose lack of power disap-
pointed a crowd of 1000.
First Score Comes Fancy.
THE game was not five minutes old
before the Cardinals struck
Capt Clay Calhoun of Loyola, who
was destined to emerge as the Wolf
packs outstanding warrior, fumbled
as he hit the line in the early min
utes. Big Leo Katalinas, Card tackle,

the Packs 22-yard line and from
there the red-jerseyed men of Brook
land launched their first aerial at

to the New Orleans goal. Then Bud
Munhall, who was adequate all day
extensively, and pretty close to great on
the defense, faded back and shot a
pass off to his right.
Right End John Kasunich cut for
the ball AS he did so Halfback
George Antonini and Calhoun darted
between him and the aerial CAL
houn missed the spiraling oval by
inches but Antonini's arms reached it.
The ball spun treacherously off
Antonini's body and caromed off to
an impromptu fight. Kasunich
reached out, grabbed it with his fin
ger tips, and dived for the goal line
2 yards away. A grim Loyola tao
kler hit him. but failed to stop the
Cardinal end. Frank Cairo, tackle
kicked the extra point from placement
Carroll Snags Second Heave.
THE Cards were under way at this
point and the momentum was too
strong for Loyola. An exchange of
punts followed the next kickoff and
Catholic received the better of it. With
the ball on their own 40, the Cards
launched drive which found Rocco
Pirro, the sophomore fullback, racing
around end for first down on 10y

from Pennsylvania whipped pass
to Munhall after taking the ball on a
reverse from Irish Carroll Munhall

before horde OF tacklers engulfed
him and the whistle sounded for the
period.
With the resumption of play, Cath

the ground, grabbed the oval. and
dropped to the ground. He was a
good four yards over the line and
Cairo again made good the extra
point.
