Detroit Favored TO Win Over C.. Il.
Both ElevenS
Have Yet to
See Defeat
STADIUM SITE

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Two of the undefeated elevens
of the land meet when Detroit Uni
versity, with a scoring record OF
ia points in three games, clashes
with the Flying Cardinals of Cath
Ollie University at Griffith Stadium
tonight. The Cards have scored SIS
points in three games. Detroit
gave up a lone touchdown, while
the Cards have had 10 points
scored against them.
Detroit should win, and by a
comfortable margin. This opinion
is not predicated upon scores alone.
Too many factors enter into foot
ball scores to render them a worth
while gauge of all.around gridiron
worth. Man-power looms as the
deciding factor in this battle, and
the Titans are better equipped
with reserves than the Cardinals.
OPEN FOOTBALL
By reputation gained down
through the years since Gus DoralS
assumed command of Detroit's
football forces. the Titans are
heralded as leading opponents OF
open football. This is quite natu.
raj, for Dorais himself was one OF
the greatest passing backs that
modern football ever knew. His
feats in the first Army-Notre Dame
game are too we'll known to adj
NIT of review at this time. But
if you've never heard the tale. ask
any west Pointer you chance to
meet.
Detroit will flash two passing
backs of exceptional merit in
Ernie Palumbo and Roger Hayes.
Hayes is O. left-handed passer, and
a crackerjack. Operating out OF
the Notre Dame box, the Titans
can pass to short or strong side
with the greatest Of ease. AL that
White, Detroit's center has to do
is pass the leather to either Pa
Jumbo or Hayes. and the ball will
sail.
BARTLETT ENCOURAGES
American University football en-
thusiasts are encouraged over the
showing of Bartlett, called Hula"
by the boys up there. Against st.
Johns Bartlett gained 1853 yards
from scrimmage and ran back
punts IS yards, for an average re-
turn of IS yards. The Eagles are
depending upon him to do well
against Mt. st. Mary'S.
Howard University's BisonS will
battle the TrojanS of Virginia
State College at Howard Stadium
on Saturday afternoon. Virginia
State is highly regarded and, &C
cording to inside advices, has a
complete backfield Of triple
threat men. This may be too
much for the Howard men to COM
bat successfully. On the ends OF
the State line will be the Brewer
twins, two hard-SmaShing for
wards who are deadly in their
tackling.
Against this juggernaut Of the
field Howard will offer its strong
est lineup. "Bootnose" Williams,
the Howard center, is one Of the
best around these parts and
played great game against Shaw
College last week.
The freshman football elevens
of Georgetown University and
University of Maryland will play
this afternoon at Griffith Stadium,
the kickoff being scheduled for
2:30 O'Clock.
