lSIlt-IledI Ueu anu Sell 1-dSSurcQ were
District college coaches as they re-
assembled their forces today to
launch preparations for this weeks
games. and rightly so, for, although
they captured only one game last
Saturday, the situation isn't as
dreary as it appears in print.
This week George Washington
starts the ball rolling against the
Citadel at Griffith Stadium Friday
night. Saturday brings Catholic U.
into action against West Virginia
Wesleyan at Brookland and sends
Georgetown to Bucknell and Mary
land to Rutgers and if it's victories
you're looking for this week should
bring them.
For the benefit of those who are
having more difficulty than a horse
race Handicapped, figuring out last
weeks results we might point out
that every District team acquitted
itself honorably in victory, defeat
and stalemate. Catholic University
was the lone winner, but don't sell
the others short. They have plenty
on the ball.
Card Coach Is EIated.
Dutch" Bergman, gray eagle of
Brookland, was elated by his mems
work against Detroit's highly rated
eleven. He called Lou Shine and
Joe Carrig the best pair of ends
any Cardinal eleven boasted and was
lavish with his praise of their team
mates. Carrig was particularly good,
going into the game as he did with
a slight cold and old nose injury
troubling him.
Art Sabo and Nick Sarelas. the
tackles, were all a coach could
ask: Charley Moutenot distinguished
himself with stellar Commute
performance; Rocco Pirro lived up
to advance notices and Bill Griffin,
an unsung sophomore, came through
in the clutch with a pass intercept
ton that sealed the Cards victory.
Bergman expects a lot of this boy.
incidentally.
Oddly enough Bergman credits a
poor showing against Elon with no
small part in Detroit's defeat.
That game threw Gus Dorais'
scouts, one of whom was Andy
Farkas, off the scent, and they
were as surprised as the Titans
when Catholic turned up with a
smashing bone-bending game. An
other factor was the host eleven's
own passing game, wholly unexpect-
ed by Detroit, which proved to be
big help.
Hank Brostek and Johnny White
were injured, but the seriousness of
their hurts will not be determined !
until later today.
Colonials Still Confident.
Don't sell George Washington |
short on its performance against |
Butler. If anybody should be dis
couraged it is Bill Reinhart, the !,
coach, but Sir William is much |
elated over the boys work.
1--WE looked greatly improved over
the Davis-Elkins game and more
boys were doing more things than |
at any time since pratice started. |
Blocking was good, tackling okay,
and the running game hard and
tough. The breakc didn't fall our
way, but that's football, so we've
simply got to chalk it up as one of
those things and forget about 1t.
But don't worry about G. w. Well |
improve as we 60 along and~win a
few games"
Eddie Wilamoskis backfield work
and the tackle play of Duce Keahey
and Tom Jones were singled out by
Reinhart for special commendation.
He called Wilamoski the most i'm
proved back of the week and placed
his stamp of approval on the young
ster's defensive work, which before
had been shaky
HOya Backs Impressive.
AS an eyewitness to the George
town-Syracuse affair, we really
shouldn't have to quote Heach Coach
Jack Hagerty, but the Hoya mentor
was smiling after seeing the i'm
proved work of Jim Castiglia at full
back, Benny Bulvin at halfback and
Johnny Mcmahon at tackle. At
forded little protection on passes,
Jules Koshlap took terrific pound
ing in the backfield, but stood up
under it and still was chucking
leather as the game ended. Myron
Darmohray was a steadying in
f1uence in the backfield and played
a whale of game backing up the
line.
Unsung, but deserving of praise
was bit of brilliant defensive work
by big Ed Kowalski, Jim Reichey,
Nealon and Mark Estimate midway
