Maryland has arranged the first

Catholic University's football camp

visitors who might have more than
a casual interest in the Cardinals
welfare.
Mr.. Baugh, who has let go OF
considerably more passes than Gen.

Redskins, will spend the entire ses-
sion working with Bergman's backs,
particularly Quarterback Johnny
Fiorellino and Halfback Joe Guyon,

Asks Visitor to Leave.
Bergman has had scouting diff
culties before at Brookland, where
1t has been possible for anybody
to walk in and take copious notes
on the teams plays and physical
condition. But this year the Dutch
man is determined to keep his stuff
as private as possible, and made his
first move along that line yesterday
when an unidentified spectator was
asked to leave. Bergman noticed
the man when he came on the field,
and after none of the students could
identify him dispatched Red" Muir
ply, team manager, to ask him to
leave.
Efforts to insure privacy also have
been made at Georgetown, where
Jack Hagerty is drilling his men

New Coach, Says
Material inexperienced,
But Rugged Starting
Team Is Expected

Artie Wondrack, who yesterday
was named football Coach at Tech
High School following the resigna-
ton of Rusty Thompson, was opti-
mistic today concerning the coming
interhigh series.
Assistant to Thompson, who
stepped out because of lack of time
necessary to whip team into shape,
the former University of Maryland
guard and Tech fullback said that
he expects to put a good rugged
eleven on the field for the coming
championship race, but that an in
jury or two would leave him in bad
way.
This team is fairly big, although
the line could be heftier," he said,
land while there are plenty Of boys
on the squad I'm afraid most Of
them lack experience. If we can
escape injury or ineligibility troubles,
we should be right up there in the
final running"
Wondrack. 81, played football un-
der Curly Byrd at Maryland when
the Old Liners were giving many Of
the big colleges in the land more
than little trouble. During his
career there from 1926 to 1928, Yale
twice fell before the sensational play
of Maryland
In resigning his duties, Thompson
gave two reasons. One was that he
desired to give more time to the
physical education system which
Birch E. Bayh, director of health
and physical education, is attempts
ing to install. Also he wished to de-
vote more attention to getting doc.
tors degree. A thesis he is writing
