C. u, MIAMI may
DRAW SEASONS
RECORD GRO WD

What promises to be the largest
turnout ever to witness Catholic
University football team in action
in Washington, will be realized
Friday afternoon in Griffith Sta
dium when the Flying Cardinals
meet the University of Miami in
an international clash, sponsored
by the American Legion of the Dis
trict of Columbia, as part of the
Armistice Day exercises.
No idea of the size of the crowd
can be determined at this time by
Legion or Catholic University ath-
letic authorities. But it is gener-
ally conceded that the game
should come close to establishing
a season attendance record for a
college game. At present George
town University enjoys the distinc-
ton of playing to the largest
crowd of the SeaSon.-a $4,000
turnout at the Buckneil last FIJI
day night.
But with a Government holiday
in the offing. $4,000 District Le
gionaires fully aware that the
game is THEIR game, and the
calibre of the teams involved,
there appears little doubt that the
attendance will top last Fridays
$4,000 by a goodly margin.
MANY BOXES SOLD
Practically all the box seats
have been sold out for the game
over the weekend. A recent pur-
chaser of complete upper grand
stand box is Hon. Harry w. Wood
ring. Secretary of War. Another
purchaser is Stephan Chadwick,
National Commander of the Ameri-
can Legion. Mr.. Chadwick is sched-
uled to attend the Arlington exer-
cises just prior to the game at
Griffith Stadium. He is due to ar
rive in Washington from his home
in Seattle late today. He wired
reservations for his box seats.
Following their brilliant fourth
quarter victory over DePaul at
Chicago last Saturday, the Catho-
lie University Cardinals appear to
be a new team. Coming from be-
hind a 13-0 deficit in the last
three minutes of play, the Cardi-
nails quickly pushed over two spec
tacular touchdowns, and aided by
the sterling extra-point placement
kicking of the veteran Frank
Cairo, won the game.
SHAKEUP AT G. w.
It was learned at Brookland to-
day that Frank MatukaitiS, Sopho-
more fullback ace of the team.
scored the second and deciding
touchdown in the game with De-
Paul. Wire stories and summaries
in the box score of Saturdays tilt
awarded Joe Guyon with the
touchdown. Henry Brostek, how
ever. scored the first tally, as in
dicated in the wires from the
Windy City.
In an effort to shake the los
ing streak that has dogged the
team in its last two games-Mis-
sissippi and Clemson-Coach Bill
Reinhart of George Washington
University upset his entire team
as it began work for the intersec-
tional battle with Kansas Uni
versity at Griffith Stadium Sat
urday afternoon.
The biggest changes occurred
with the moving of Bob Nowas.
key, generally conceded to be the
best end in the District college
set, to the fullback position, and
the benching of Vic Sampson in
favor of the sophomore, Ken Bat
son.
Another major movement was
the shifting of Sunny Jones to
center and the benching of Tim
SWEET
FARIS AT LEFT END
Under the new scheme of things
Bob Faris will be relegated to the
regular left end post previously
held by Nowaskey, and the press
ing of Duce Keahey into Jones
spot at left tackle.
Frank Merka is slated to return
to the quarterback slot, relieving
Tom Grady.
Should Batson fail to deliver
at SIMPSONS post, then Bill Rich
ardson will move into this posi-
tion.
