Ernie Palumbo, Catholic
University feels fully prepared to quell
Detroit's tricky foot ball team tonight
at Griffith Stadium. but Coach Gus
Dorais is expected to counter with a
willy maneuver that may upset the
Cardinal strategy.
Realizing the Cards have geared
their defensive tactics toward throt-
ting Palumbo, Dorais probably will
retaliate by employing the unheralded
but effective Roger Hayes in a pitch
Ing role.
Listed as reserve halfback, Hayes
fips from the southpaw side and is
reported to be decidedly dangerous.
The highly touted Palumbo, however
doubtless will be the trigger man
behind most of Detroit's offensive ges-
lures unless Dorais finds the Redbirds
harrassing his ace tosser repeatedly.

he was asked. "They seem to

Il said average team" gently re-

They have three or four teams and the
boys always are trying to replace the
other in the lineup. That spirit of
competition within the squad helps.
But take small squad such as 1
have, or Dutch Bergman. We cannot
form many new line-ups week after
week. The team more or less forms
itself, because it is obvious that such
and such a boy is the best guard, or
the best tackle. And that security of
job has psychological effect and
can create an unconcious letdown."
