Two touchdowns in four years
isn't much of an offensive football
record, as even Dutch" Bergman
will admit, but against a team Of
Decroit's caliber you take what you
can get and consider yourself lucky
to win game now and then.
In 1895, when moon-faced George
Mulllgan clutched pass from Bill
Adamitis and romped 60-odd yards
before Tipping a lateral to Hermie
Schmarr for the winning touchdown
on the last play of the game, Cath
olic University crossed the Titans'
goal line for the first time in their
series Not since then have the
Cards scored on the enemy, and in
three games Detroit rolled up 80
points while holding Catholic to a
big, fat zero.
Is Looking for Revenge.
It's enough to discourage any
coach, that is, any coach but Berg
man. The Brookland boss isn't one
to turn the other cheek to a grid
opponent. He hits back, and for
two years now the calculating
Dutchman has been looking forward
to this weeks game with Detroit in
Catholic US bowl, planning and
dreaming of completely routing the
visitors
Il think this is our year. he ad-
mltted this morning, biting off the
end of cheroot and jamming it
into corner of his mouth. Il un-
derstand Gus Dorais has another
good ball club-plenty of power
and speed, but think we're little
better, and playing in our own back
yard will give us an edge in that
respect. I don't like to talk about
game-superstiHon, I guesS-but so
help me, don't see why we can't
win this one.
All we have to do is get one
touchdown, he continued, applying
a torch to his firecracker. And
we'll start rolling. Sure, Detroit
will score. I'm not worried about
that. figure they'll get touch
down. but they're gonna spend all
afternoon getting it, and in the
meantime we should be able to get
at least one more. We've only
licked them once, but in that game
we struck first and when we
punched over the first touchdown
you could see big difference in the
boys. They seemed to realize that
Detroit was just another football
team in their own class-not Notre
Dame, Pitt and Alabama rolled up
into one. Give me the first score
Saturday and we'll win it,"
Depending on Husky Line.
Bergman is relying on his burly
line to stop Detroit's running game
and hoping the visitors aerial game
isn't too potent. Detroit is at. its
best in the air, however, and much
time will be employed mapping a
defensive against the Titano' hand
grenades. If the Cardinals are vul-
nerable in any spot it is in this de-
partment. and added precautions
will be necessary to protect this
weakness.
The Brookland bruisers emerged
from the Elon game in fine physical
condition and will have their full
strength available for Detroit. With
Charley Moutenot, ace bali toter:
Hank Brostek, Hank Sant'Ambrogio,
Rocco Pirro and Joe Guvon avail
able for duty, Bergman intends to
shoot the works. All the black
magic Bergman. Cotton and Milnar
have concocted during the past two
weeks will be used. If the Cards
bow it will not be because thev held
back or tried to save their best
plays for a later date. Everything
Goes Saturday-and the boys have
plenty to show their guests.
G. W. Looks to Richardson.
At George Washington Bill Rein
hart still professed to be in a stew
over the Colonials' prospects, al
though he is hopeful of enjoying a
good year.
Davis-Elkins didn't give his boys
the kind of workout they needed,
although he did get fair line on
his charges. Reinhart expressed
satisfaction with Billy Richardson's
work and said he believed the sturdy
triple-threater would come along and
clinch berth in the regular starting
backfeld.
Richardson passing and kicking
are expected to play an important
role in this weeks game with Butler
at Indianapolis, which George Wash
ington expects to win.
Smiths Return Helps Terps.
Frank Dobson is another in the
hopeful class today as Maryland
primps for the Virginia game Satur-
day at Charlottesville. On paper
Dobson admits the Cavaliers have a
stronger team, blessed with fast,
elusive backs and equally fast line
men, but things happen on the.field
that change the entire complexion Of
a game. Dobson is doing his best to
have things happen Saturday.
Bernie Ulman, who played great
defensive game against Western
Maryland; Pershing Mondorf1, who
scored 10 of the II points, and Ralph
Albarano, who came through with
his usually find work at tackle, are
expected to worry Virginia con-
siderably. A factor in the Terps'
favor is the return of Bob Smith,
veteran center, who played against
Western Maryland with no bad
effects. Smiths presence in the line
up gives the Terps at least one strong
forward wall.
H0yas to Tune Up Passing.
Georgetown will concentrate on its
passing game after George Murtagh
and "Mush" Dubofsky reported that
