OUTSTANDING FEAT

IA to 9.
OUTSTANDING FEAT
This triumph is one of the out
standing achievements in the
glamourous record of great
coach. Big "Biff," who played his
first football right here in Wash
ington, is regarded throughout
intercollegiate football as one Of
the outstanding line coaches of
the land. If there is any way of
making young men play better
football than they know how, this
broad shouldered soldier will dis
cover it.
Jones is reaching the peak of
his fame as a coach in the West.
When he went to Oklahoma he
had no time for spring practice.
But in less than four weeks in the
fall he had the intricate Warner
system clicking in fine style.
Oklahoma lost three games, one
Of these to Nebraska, but the
season was judged a brilliant sue
cess by every Oklahoman.
NOT AN UPSET
Naturally the defeat of Mime
sofa was something of surprise.
But it cannot be called an upset
in the true sense of the word.
The word was out early this year
that Nebraska had a pretty fair
sort of squad, and that is all that
Jones requires to turn out lines
capable of stopping juggernauts.
More surprising than the de-
feat Of Minnesota was the crush
ing of Colgate by Cornell. and
here again the score was more Of
an upset than the bare result.
Cornell served notice on the world
that it was ready to roll when 1t
defeated a sturdy Penn State
team. But to pile up 40 points
against Andy Kerr's Red Raiders
was deemed almost impossible.
Still viewing the national pic
ture. we find the Big Ten rocking
a bit under the shocl. of Illinois
scoreless tie with De Paul. The
Blue Demons played here last
year against Catholic University.
And there is just little head
shaking over the failure Of Michi-
gan to stop Michigan State. Four
consecutive defeats at the hands
of the Spartans must be charged
to something more than a jinx.
It might be because of a better
team at State.
HOYAS RAGGED
Local football enthusiasts find
cause for enthusiasm. Georgetown
vas ragged against Shenandoah,
but that may have been because
the boys expected to run riot over
the field. The Hoyas are point
ing for brighter game than Shen-
andoah, and may be very potent,
capable band of young men by
the time they tackle Penn and
Holy Cross.
Catholic University's thin Red
Line" stood firm against the
plunges of the redoubtable Clay
Calhoun, and played a brand of
football that was more han salts
factory. With a few weeks of
work, and favoring nod from luck
in not having men hurt, the Flying
Cardinals will have a real good
football team.
John Chuldenski will be out OF
action for a week according to
Dutch" Bergman. Chuldenski
turned his ankle in a scrimmage
with Loyola, and is limping badly
today. One Of the ranking re-
placements in a squad already
sadly handicapped by injuries, this
young stalwart will be badly
missed.
MUNHALL STARS
Bud Munhall played real foot
ball for Catholic University
throughout the game. He was
especially effective on defense
against forward passes. He ran
back a couple, and batted down
several more. Vidnovic is develop
ing into real triple threat player.
Leo Katalinas will be star tackle
this season if he just goes along
the way he started. It's a matter
of disposition with Katalinas.
The same may be said of Joe
Guyon. The young Indian must
learn how to block for the other
runners. He can run and kick
with the best, but he is no better
than his blocking, and that has
been pretty poor all year.
Frank Dobson put a team on the
field at Franklin Field on Satur-
day that is worthy of the best ira.
ditions of Maryland. The Terra
pins were defeated. but they played
q whale Of Q game from start to
finish.
