ordered the varsity to line up on
defense, and asked Freshman Coach
Eddie LaFond to send over his team.

land now we're going to look at some
of their plays"
How about this game,
Dutch?" . newspaper man asked.
Can you win IT,"
II don't know" he said. "They say
that Dorais has the best team Detroit
ever had. The papers in Detroit have
given them wonderful send-on.
They have fine back in Farkus and
good passer In Palumbo. II we look
good I'll be satisfied. All right, fel-
lows" he yelled. lets go. And let's
hear some noise"
The rafters of Mr.. G.'s park already
were ringing. but Dutch wanted more.
1t was music to his ears, that pepper.
LaFond quarterbacked his frosh in the
huddle and then sent them out.
Pirro to Face Detroit.
A BIG fellow in the frosh backfield
= faded back and threw a pass.
1t was completed Call those forma-
tions," yelled Dutch to the varsity.
The whoop-de-doo grew louder.
Short punt" bawled Irish Carroll,
and. as the backs shifted, Single
wing left" A Detroit" pass was in
tercepted.
That's the stufi," said Bergman.
''How's that leg, Rocco?"
Rocco Pirro, his new fullback,
walked over. Feels better" he
said. moving 1t up and down.
well" said Dutch, "it's better than
1t was yesterday, isn't it?"
Yes" answered the boy.
How about this afternoon? Does
it feel better now than 1t did this
afternoon?"
Yes" said Pirro.
That's relief" signed Dutch, as
the boy walked away 1T looks like
he'll be ready by Friday, after all.
After he got hurt against LaSalle I
didn't think he could play against
Detroit. Nice kid, that Pirro. He's
really q tackle and q darned good
one. But we needed a fullback to fill
Makofskys place and so we converted
him."
How good tackle would he have
been?" somebody wanted to know
"A real good one," said Dutch. Hes
the kind of fellow who'd make a good
professional player =. as tackle. I'm
| not saying he won't be q good back.
think he will. But he would have
been a great tackle"
Dutch Likes Guyon's Chances.
"CuPPOSE Pirro's leg won't stand
up?" asked newspaper man.
Who'll you use in his place."
"Guyon, the Indian boy, I guess" /"
answered Dutch. Hes coming along.
The kids only 10, but he's big and
fast. OF course, he's only played when
we were ahead so far. 1 don't know
how he'll do to start q game. There
he is :. punting down in the corner"
Somebody said he couldn't
block" contributed another on
locker.
'Well, he isn't q good blocker" ad-
mitted Dutch. II don't expect he'll do
much blocking this year. But he's got
the makings Of a nice back. He's only
sophomore. Hey, Guyon! Get in
the backfield. No, take Pirro's place" J"
La Fond called his frosh into q
huddle. That big back faded back
again and then whipped pass to .
man on the line Of scrimmage. -Four
1nterferers were ahead Of the receiver
and they plowed ahead.
That's Detroit play" volunteered
| Bergman. Tricky guy, Dorais. We've
got to watch passes closely. I don't
figure Palumbo is quite as good as
that other passer Dorais had .
Doug Mott. But how many passers
are that good2"
La Fond Hates the Lights.
THIS went on Tor half an hour.
Finally La Fond strolled over.
They look fine, don't they2" asked
Eddie. Good spirit and lots of hustle.
"Yes," answered . Newspaper man.
