CORAL GABLES, Nov. 13.-The
football eleven of Catholic Uni

night by University of Miami in
hollow style, thus writing another
upset of minor intensity on the
jumbled records of football form.
The score was 81 to o in favor
of the Hurricanes, who were re-
garded by critics as being at least
two touchdown weaker than their
Northern opponents.
Eddie Dunn was a team in him.

touchdown after run of 10 yards.
Dunn caught a punt on his thirty
yard line and danced his way
through the broken field to the
goal line. n the second period
Chensa dashed SIS yards to score
on a run off tackle. Masterson
caught a pass on the goal line and
scored after two or three players
of both sides batted the leather
about.
The Cardinals did not gain as
much ground as the Hurricanes
but made 13 first downs to 8 for
their opponents. The yardage was
1876 for Miami to 1876. The Cards
completed nine paseS to gain 1O3
yards.

There is a sentimental touch for

TARHEELS AND DUKE
One of the great games of the
day and one that compels interest
in Dixie is the clash of North
