Coach A. ]. Dutch" Bergman
of Catholic University wishes to
make an emphatic statement. 1t
is to the effect that his Flying
Cardinal grid team, now working
out twice daily in the Brookland
Bowl, is not as good. as we sports
writer's have painted the term.
I've got a flock of hard
games on the slate, and our re-
serves are pretty weak. So how
can we have such a powerful
team? You know it all comes
out in the records at the end OF
the season. All 1 say is that we
are as strong as last years
team is the way Mr.. Bergman
explains it.
MOUTENOT A STANDOUT
Bergman has come up with a
brilliant ball player in Charley
Moutenot for the coming cam
paign. but he lost two good players
in Charley Munhall, one Of the
finest quarterbacks ever to sport
the Cardinal and Black, and Irish
Carroll, a dependable ball toter.
He also lost a few more players,
chiefly Leo Katalinas, 220-pound
tackle, now with the Green Bay
Packers.
Yes, Bergman has his troubles,
but then he wouldn't be tootoall
coach if he didn't.
He has a hard, tough trail ahead
and will be forced to meet some
stern opposition in Detroit U.'
Miami. and st. Louis, all Of whom
defeated him last season; Amer
ican u, District rival; West VIZ
ginia Wesleyan, De Paul, Loyola
of the South, and the University
of South Carolina.
Fortunately for Dutch, he has
his brilliant Indian star, Joe
Guyon, on hand again, along with
Nick SeralaS and Burke Vidnovic,
experienced backs.
He has moved Rocco Pirro, who
cavorted in the backfield last sea-
son, to tackle. In addition, he has
the best guard in this neck OF the
woods, collegiately speaking, for
the coming season. The young
man is Art Sabo, who is expected
to surpass the feats of Bill Confer,
Bill Lajousky, Eddie La Fond and
Nick Monaco.
Some fair-to-middlin' sopho-
more talent is available for back
field duty this year, in addition to
Moutenot. There's Pete Sachon,
a powerful punter, and Henry
Brostek, a jack-rabbit back, to
start with. And if this Henry
SAINT Ambrogio can find himself,
watch out!
WEAK AT CENTER
The ends are a little weak, with
Capt. John Kasunich the Standout.
AL Calabrese, regular last year, is
back, along with Joe Bunsa, Vic
Miller and Louis Shine. Coming
up from the frosh squad of last
season are Joe Carrig, Leo Kane
and George Dubois. But all lack
experience.
The veteran, Frank Cairo, is
again on hand for tackle duty
and will pair with Rocco Pirro,
while Carmon Pirro, Jim Conlen
and Dave Geaudreau will divide
the substitute assignments.
Eddie Whites kid brother, John,
is a sophomore candidate for cen
ter, but may find the going rough
with the likes of Pete OSinski on
hand. This pivot war should wage
all season at Brookland.
Guards who look good in prac-
tice are, of course, Sabo, Johnny
Carvelas, the former Eastern
High lad, and Whitley Ambrose.
