To Oppose Citadel

BY BURTON HAWKINS.


Although Catholic University's
unblemished record hardly is ex-
pected to perish in Saturdays strug-
gle with woefully weak West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan outfit at the Brook
land bowl, Coach Dutch Bergman
today took inventory of an increas-
ing list of cripples and became bit
apprehensive.
Crushed by West Virginia, 44-0;
Inundated by st. Vincent's, 1875,
and swamped by Morris Harvey, 28-
IA, the Bobcats aren't exactly among
the gridiron elite. The Cardinals
power doubtless will deal them a
fourth straight shellacking. but
Catholic us mounting collection Of
injuries at least promises to keep
the score within respectable bounds.
Wesleyan will face a team which
may be packed with substitutes.
Art Sabo, crack guard, and Al Gala

a sturdy forward wall. both abb
sorbed considerable punishment in
defeating Detroit, while Mike Cher

also is unlikely to swing into action.
Easy Game Boon to Cards.
Henry SAINT Ambrogio's bruised
right knee hasn't responded to
treatment, which Wesleyan will be
comforted to learn. SAINT Ambrogio
unreeled touchdown runs of AZ and
48 yards against the Bobcats last
year, but damaged his knee on the
second play of the Detroit game last
week and probably will be rested
this week.
Bergman, though, still is BEAM

CURED with an easy game on the
horizon and all his regulars doubt
less will be available for duty for
the tougher test against Miami next
week.
Heartening, too, is the return of
Joe Guyon. Indian backfield star
who was feared lost for the season.
Troubled with a jittery tummy,
Guyon was laid low in the Elon
game, but has returned to the squad
and may be fit for service against
Miami.
Maryland, eager to break into the
victory side of the ledger following
surprisingly strong showing in los
ing to Virginia, 1877, bumps into a
rampaging Rutgers outfit at New
Brunswick. N. j. Rutgers remains
andefeated in three games. although
held to tie by Richmond.
The Terps will be operating minus
hefty Bob Brown at tackle. but
Coach Frank Dobson feels Bob will
be ready to resume play against
Florida on October %.
Maryland's team, which will be
captained by Frank Skotnicki,
blocking halfback, in the Rutgers
engagement, will leave by train for
New Brunswick tomorrow night,
with the schools 65-piece band, off,
cials and just plain fans slated to
leave Saturday at am.

night at Griffith Stadium. Coach
Bill Reinhart is satisfied he has
nodded the smoothest combination,
until otherwise shown.
Botchey Koch, G.. w. line coach
and scout, currently is charting the
Clemson South Carolina game to-
day at Columbia, S. c., with Ray
Hanken, frosh coach, also scribbling
notes on the strong Clemson outfit.
Colonials Watch Hoyas.
Botchey will return tomorrow
night to sit in on the G. W.-Citadel
game and then on Saturday morn
ing he and Coach Reinhart will
drive to Lewisburg, Pa, to scout the
georgetown -Bucknell game. Koch
already has seen the Hoyas in three
games.
Georgetown also is regarding the
Colonials wariiy, but Coach Jack
Hagerty's more immediate concern
centers in the Hoyas tiff with Buck
nell. He fears the Hoyas are taking
the Bisons too lightly and may be
forced to labor more than they an

first team complies convincing

American University, which has
known little but brutal reverses this
year, suffered another loss today,
with X-rays revealing Red Rauch,

in workout Tuesday afternoon.
