SPEED is AID
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Andy FarkaS, University OF De-
troit'S speed demon, today is re-
turning to the Motor City, but he's
leaving behind him one Of the
greatest gridiron performances
ever turned in here, or any other
place for that matter.
Last night, in Griffith Stadium,
Andy led the TitanS of Detroit to
80 to 0 win over the hitherto
indicated Cardinals of Catholic
University. All Andy did during
the course of the evening of play
was to gallop to three touchdowns
on runs of 95, 30 and 81 yards.
Detroit had the speed-blinding
speed. c. U. had the power
plenty Of it. The score really does
not give true indication of Just
how good C. U. is.
TITANS ARE "SMALL"
Detroit's is a small team, as
topflight college teams 60. Both
teams used by Detroit are dotted
with players who scale along
ABOUT ITO to IT'S pounds. The De-
CrolG forwards are as fast as De-
troit'S backs. Coach Gus Dorais.
OF Detroit, has two good lines, both
light. He'll need them, for he must
now bite off Boston College, vii.
Ianova and Manhattan in a row.
Every break of the game, save
one, went to the visiting De-
trolters, but the Titans really
needed no breaks-not with Andy
to carry the mail. He didn't seem
TO need any aid. On all Of his
runs, he depended more on his
own speed, change of pace and
pickup" than he did on the
blocking of his mates, although
it must be said that his mates
did block for him.
CARDS GET BREAK
Right at the start of the game.
c. U. got break" when Rocko
Plrro grabbed a Detroit tumble
only 81 yards away from the
Titan goal-line. C. u, which
gained plenty Of yards through
the Detroit pair of lines, couldn't
generate the power necessary to
move the ball across.
A Card tumble paved the way
for Detroit's first point, three of
'em. The Titans grabbed the
leather on this costly tumble and
Johnny Shada, who knows how to
kick field goals, booted one. It
was about 35 yards from the spot
where he kicked to the goal posts.
The boot split the middle.
A second Card tumble, SEEM
ingly of no moment, proved
disastrous. Just few minutes be.
fore the second quarter ended, a
Cardinal back dropped the ball at
the c. U. 27-yard marker and De-
troit recovered. An exchange of
punts followed and Detroit was
back in Titan territory. It didn't
seem that the Titans were
threatening, but
ANDY GOES FOR SCORE
Andy lugged the ball on what
appeared to be a commonplace
slice off tackle designed to pick
up few yards for Detroit. It
picked up quite a few, for Andy
got into the secondary and was off
to the races. He went across the
Cardinal goal line after as pretty
run as even a ducat chiseler
would care to see.
Mr.. Farkas started the third
period in high. He caught the
kickoff and ran for touchdown.
Some say he caught the ball on
the 5-yard-line. I thought he
caught it on the goal line. That
point, however, is of small amount.
The big point is that Andy hot
footed it for a touchdown. A Car
dinal player did not touch him.
this fact being the Cardinal
feature of the Farkas gallop.
Detroit's next touchdown came
as the result of a forward pass.
Ed Palumbo spied Ray Larson in
the open and heaved perfectly
to him.
The final Detroit touchdown
was scored by the speed king. He
caught punt and breezed 81
yards to the score.
Although the tale one must tell
of last nights game appears to be
all Detroit and no C. u, the fact
of the matter is that c. U. actually
pushed Detroit around a bit, but
the Cards, threatening on several
occasions bungled their chances
what with poor generalship and a
Detroit defense that tightened
when Tightening meant saving
Detroit pay-dirt from the cleatS Of
the Cardinals.
