The Flying Cardinals of Catho-
lie University, with three splendid
victories already won, prepare for
the sternest test of the season.
The Cardinals go into action on
Friday night 1t Griffith Stadium
against University of Detroit'S
Titans, coached by Gus Dorais,
one of Notre Danes immortals.
If the Cards can win this game,
or even exc out tie, they may
drive on to another Orange Bowl
invitation and victory.
Just so far as football values
may be concerned, Catholic Uni
versity offers them abundantly to
the local crowd. Arthur Dutch"
Bergman ranks second to none as
a coach. 1t is pity that the Car.
dinals are so handicapped by lack
of reserves. That Wanted Thin
Red Line" yields little to any outfit
in his class. The Cards have
scored 3 points and better, for
every point made aginSt them.
GUYON LOOKS GOOD
Among the encouraging develop
ments of the past week has been
the all-around play of young Joe
Guyon, the Indian boy. Against
La Sale, Joe bucked and cut
and blocked like great football
player. He went in at fullback,
a new position with new assign
ments, and conducted himself adj
mirably. The outstanding feature
of his play was his blocking.
Leo Katalinas is a fine tackle
this year. Indeed, he is almost
a great tackle, and even that
rating is within his capabilities.
"Kats" is blocking like wild man.
He is fast down field, and his
spirit is the finest.
The injuries sustained by Lou
Shine and Sully Greco on Sunday
may keep them out of action. It
is feared that Shine has a frac-
tured shoulder, and that Greco's
arm is fractured. X-ray photo
graphs will be taken today.
TOP PASSING BACK
Ernie PaIumbo is one of the
niftiest passing backs of the Middle
West. He is dead on the target
at all times. Roger Hayes is a
left-handed passer, and good one.
Gus Dorais played quarterback
on the Notre Dame football team
that really put the South Bend
College on the football map. He
came East with the Ramblers in
1913 to play Army at West Point.
How many coaches of that era
looked at the forward pass as
Subterfuge for football. Army
used the pass to some extent, and
had a defense of a sort against
aerials. But Army was helpless
against the blizzard of footballs
that Whizzed through the air that
era-marking afternoon.
PASSED TO ROCHNE
Dorais passed to Rockne and
to the rest of the boys until in
desperation Army pulled its
guards out Of the line and played
them back. Then Eichenlaub, a
great fullback, tore the weakened
wall to bits. Army changed its
mind on the pass that afternoon,
and Pritchard and Merrilat ran
Navy dizzy a few weeks later.
Dorais has established Detroit
among the interesting, winning
teams of football. The Titans may
defeat the Cardinals. But there
will be lot of football played at
Griffith Stadium on Friday night.

DOBSON TALKS TO TEAM
Dobson rallied the team for a
long discussion of the Salients of
the Western Maryland game.
Dobson pointed out that the
Maryland team co.ordinated for
Just few minutes in the first
period, and won the game then
and there. There were many
faults disclosed, he said, and those
faults must be corrected today.
DobSon is not overlooking the

have.
