Football enthusiasts of Wash
ington look favorably upon the
movement toward normalcy in
local gridiron relations initiated
by Catholic University and Ameri-
can University, whose faculty COM
mittees have approved a game be-
tween the schools for next october.
1t may be that before many sea-
sons have elapsed, George Wash
ington, Georgetown, Maryland and
Catholic University will form what
will amount to the District of Co
lumbia Conference. America
University, naturally, will become
q member of the group.
It was a natural result of the
close friendship existing between
Arthur Dutch" Bergman and Gus
WEIGH, coaches of Catholic Uni.
verSity and American University,
that this game should be arranged.
Bergman and the Indian who once
starred at Carlisle School, have
formed a mutual admiration so
ciety.
WELSH JOYFUL
Il regard tbs game as a step
in the right direction" Welch
said today. THE Cardinals
have always played fine foot
bail and it will not be long be-
fore American University is UP
in the class with the others, due
to the natural growth of the
institution"
"Other local games will fol-
low before long," Bergman said.
I'VE know that our relations
with American University will
be most harmonious"
George Brobeck, former Uni.
versity Of Washington football
ace, is another local leader in
gridiron thought who expressed
his approval of this game.
Fine stuff" Brobeck said
when told about the game. "A
step in the right direction. If we
can have more of the same it
will raise the standard of local
football"
A natural rivalary that should
be developed, football men stated,
is between George Washington
University and Georgetown. No
move has been initiated in that
direction, but it is common knowl-
edge that nothing more than a
postal card would be needed to
start the ball rolling.
MARYLAND READY
Maryland stands ready to meet
them all. Under the guidance of
Frank Dobson the Terrapins go
right along winning and holding
their place in the football sun. It
would be great to see George
Washington or Catholic Univer-
sity, or both, added to the
Terrapin schedule.
North Dakota State University's
football eleven, "Bisons" in the
geological nomenclature of foot
ball, arrived here this morning
shortly after 8 o'clock a. m. and
established headquarters at the
Colonial Hotel. The team came
directly to Washington instead Of
returning to Fargo, N. D., after
playing Greeley State Teachers on
last Saturday.
Casey Finegan, head coach OF
the men from the land Of the
DakotahS, said this morning that
things were not too bad"
North Dakota State has not played
here since 1882. It uses the Notre
Dame system. Emil May and For
rest Stevens, co-captions are the
ball carrying aces and also are
the co-captains.
Play the flies lowly and beat the
drums slowly as the woes of Cath
lie University mount with the
ticking of the clock. Joe Bunsa,
end of the Cardinals is in Emer-
gency Hospital in general rum
down condition. Carmen Pirro,
the big tackle, twisted his knee

WOULD PATCH TEAM
Through all the buffeting Of
fate, Arthur Dutch Bergman goes
cheerfully along on his task. He
is trying with the aid Of tape
and splints and a knowledge of
fundamentals to patch up a team
to meet University Of Miami on
Saturday.
Georgetown's valiant football
warriors are making ready for
another test on Saturday. The
HoyaS, who surprised and de-
lighted their local partisans by
brilliant effort against West
Virginia University, move into the
North country to face the charges
of the Violets of New York Uni
versity. This entire series with
the New York University team is
one of the traditional battles of
the Hoyas. 1t is a game cherished
by both sides. It has been re-
plete with thrills and splendid foot
ball.
