MendeI-Discoverer
OF Low of Heredity

RECENT denunciation by Soviet
~ agricultural students OF Men
del's formal genetics and the laws
OF heredity he evolved as an
outmoded myth, Incompatible
with Party teachings, has focused
attention once more upon the
quiet, patient 18th century monk,
who gave the world sound basis
for the science of genetics.
Well known TO every schoolboy
are Mendel's famous smooth and
wrinkled pea experiments and the
conclusions he drew from his
findings: that dominant character
istics will be reproduced over re-
cessive characteristics in definite
ratios throughout successive gen.
erations. Not so well known is
Mendel's own story.
Gregor Mendel was born In
Moravia, on the Polish German
border, in 1922. A brilliant stu
dent, he entered the Augustinian
monastery at Altbrunn at 81, con-
tinued his studies Of botany and
natural history at the University
of Vienna.
His botanical research, from
1856 to 1871, found him expert
menting with controlled fertiliza-
ton and cross-breeding. His work
on the edible pea, now used to
illustrate his theory, occupied
seven years. Mendel was named
abbot, died in 1884. It was not
until two decades later that his
achievements were recognized.
Mendel is shown on the Danzig
commemorative, red and brown,

Drudge Of Practice
Bores Mony Seniors.

Don't always feel sorry for the
coach who loses most of his regulars
by graduation in June and has to
start all over again with a squad
composed largely of sophomores in
the fall. Sometimes it means
heavy burden and inevitable defeat
for the coach. But sometimes he
welcomes the shift.
This is because, when a boy is
IN his third year of varsity football,
he has put seven years of competi-
ton behind him-four years in high
school, one with the freshmen and
two with the varsity. And it might
be-as it sometimes is-that he is
growing more than a little tired and
bored.
He isn't tired of playing the games
on Saturdays. The practice every
other day is what gets him down.
Just as veteran ballplayers dread
spring training and veteran fighters
hate training camps and gymna-
siums, the football players-some of
them, at any rate-grow weary of
the practice field
The only game in which he really
Is interested, though. is the last
game on the schedule-and the
weeks seem long between the begin
ming OF the schedule and the end.

armed the question and went around
it for a nice ggain.
Don't Know Meaning of Quit"
The Orange Bowl team was bet
ter balanced he admitted. but I
think this team has more speed and
power. although I wouldn't want to
pick the winner if they played one
another. One thing they have in
common is aggressiveness. BY golly,
that 1856 team couldn't be dis
couraged by anything and this
present team is the same way.
They don't know the meaning of
the word quit" and it hasn't been
broadcast. but several times this
season I've almost had to 60 out on
the field to get player out of the
game when trying to make a substi-
tuition. They don't want to come
out-even when injured
This reporter accompanied Cath
olic University on its Orange Bowl
invasion and can vouch for Berg
mans testimony concerning that
teams h-l-bent-for leather at
titude. There were big Hermie
Schmarr. the lad with the bushel-
basket hands. and George Mulligan
at ends. This combination won the
Detroit game that year with a seth
minute lateral pass, the most BREATH
taking play of the season. They
were big and as tough as movie
gangster and they played a lot of
football for the Cards that season,
Joe Carrig and Lou Shine aren't
as colorful as that pair, but we'll
have to admit they are faster
tackle as viciously and catch passes
as we'll. Bergman can rest assured
his fanks will be well protected at
Ell Paso with this duo in the game.
Current Guards Deemed Best.
The Orange Bowl tackles were
Col" Ed Clements and Ed Kar-
powich, the latter since re-christ-
ened Ed Karp for the sake of brew
ity. Karp is with Pittsburgh in the
National Football League and doing
well for himself. The tip-off on the
tackle situation that year is that
Leo Katalinas a grizbzly gent who
later developed into one of Berg
mans best linesmen, was a sopho-
more substitute, making rare ap-
pearances on the field.
We doubt If Jim Conlen and
Carmen Pirro surpass Clements and
Karp, although it is difficult to
overlook Pirro's place kicking ability,

Cards Team Going to Sun Bowl
Deemed on Par With Sturdy

which accounted for 18 points this
season. All things considered. the
Orangemen have a slight edge in
this department.
Bergman rates AL Calabrese and
Art Sabo the best guards he's had
since coming to Brookland, and that
is a superb compliment in itself, for
there were Nick Monaco and DR..
Jim Lyons before him, and the
Orange Bowl couple of Bill Lajousky
and Joe Anthonavage. The last
two named were steady, hard driving
boys who could pull out of line in
high gear and go like backheld men.
Calabrese and Sabo, however, we'll
deserve the commentator given
them. for they have been the kay
men in the Redbirds' success this
year, and as thief go in the Sun Bowl
so will their mates go.
Centers About on Par.
Johnny White. currently at center,
and Joe Yanchulis Of the '36 squad
are about on par and here again
the current center is honored by
such competition. Yanchulis,
lanky, loose Joined chap who always
appeared in danger Of being swept
away by brisk wind, did everything
asked of him. He could charge with
the snap of the ball, back up a line,
guard against passes and diagnose
plays like a pro. He was brilliant
against Mississippi in the Miami
classic and if White measures up 10
that performance Bergman need
have no fears about center.
Dutch would give the edge in
backfleld to the '39 quartet, but there
is ample room for argument. The
SO delegation had Irish Carroll to
lug the apple through a broken
field; Pete Dranginis to call the sig
mails and do the blocking; Bill
Adamaitis for the passing. and Bob
Makofske at fullback There was
speed and power-not to mention
deception-for you, but what about
the Sun Bowl ball toters?
Well, Pete Sachon is about the
brainiest field general the Cards
have had in a long time and a good
blocker, too, despite his l58 pounds.
Charley Moutenot is a good man to
shake loose in any broken field and
a mite faster than Carroll
Cards Favored to Win.
Brostek falls trifle below Ada
MATHS because of the latters throw
ing ability, but Rocco Pirro offsets
this at fullback, where his tre-
mendouS plStOn-power gives him the
edge on Makofske.
Orange Bowl team supporters have
one thing in their favor, however,
when they say, They beat good
team in Mississippi now let's see
how this crowd makes out against
Arizona

interruptions Pave Way.
Two of the Packers six pass inter-
ceptions paved the way to both
of their touchdowrs in the sec
ond half to turn the game into
a rout. After Tiny Engebretsen's
field goal from the 29-yard line
increased the score to 100, an
alert Packer defense capitalized on
Danowski's desperate measures to
score, Gantenbein intercepting one
of his passes on the Giants 80.
Here it was that the Bays made
monkeys of the Giants, IsbeIl
fading back on fourth down and
passing to Joe Laws, who was as
open as the uncovered stands. Not
a Giant was near Laws, who caught
the ball on the and waltzed across
to make it ITO.
And, after Ernie Smith compile
mented Engebretsen's efforts with
a field goal Of his own from the
42-yard line early in the fourth
quarter, Center Bud Svendsen inter-
cepted one Of Barnum's tosses to
start the Packers on the way to
their last score. Svendsen was run
out Of bounds on the New York Is
and Jankowski climaxed three line
plays by bucking over from the
1-yard stripe.
Tradition Is Upheld.
In the final analysis, 1t was q
great team, raised to a fever pitch
to satisfy rabid following, that won
the game. Although the Packer
line yielded only three less first
downs than the Giants, most of
them came late in the game when
the New Yorkers' cause was lost,
and the winners 131 yards gained
in rushing to the Giants Sc showed
the decided superiority of the Bay
runners. And no better proof of the
greater effectiveness of Packer
passes is needed than statistics
which show that Green Bays 10
passes accounted for one more yard,
SO, than 26 Giant heaves.
Thus, tradition that q champion
never repeats in the National League
