As Team Tackles
Stiff Schedule
Wondruck's Lads Seem
Due for Cellar Again
In Eastern Section
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Coach Artie Wondrack of Tech,
the only local public high yet to
open its season, is satisfied with his
first-string eleven, but after that
his outfit is full of holes.
Tech faces a tough schedule this
season. The other east division
elevens, Eastern and Anacostia, both
are improved over last year, and
from the west division it has drawn
the two toughies-Western and Cen
tral-to give it the most difficult
of all local schoolboy programs.
The injury jinx almost is certain
to plague Tech this year, as it did
last season and as it does any school
depending on not much more than
II good starters. Toward the end
of last season. especially in the i'm
portant Central game. injuries de-
pleted Techs football team and
Wondrack fears the same thing may
happen again.
Basks Are Experienced.
The backfield will be composed of
experienced players, Jack Walsh and
Bill Dellastatious. letter men. and
Vernon Hollidge and Carlton Small
wood, both active last year. In fact,
that same foursome played as a
unit last season and should click
this time. One other back with a
little experience is on the squad,
Charles Green, and from those five
Wondrack expects to get most Of
his backfield combinations. Green
showed promise early last year. but
was out most of the time with in
juries.
The line is spotty. Tech has
four big tackles, two Of them Of
fair cahber from what can be dis
covered in practice. One other
is a good defensive player and an
other can block with the best Of
them. Ed Jennings, letter man.
leads the candidates for guard po-
sitions while the other guard job
appears to be between Hightman
and Lewis, both big lads but mite
inexperienced.
Dodge Outstanding End.
For ends, Tech has one outstand-
ing lad in Vernon Dodge, the fourth
letter man on the team, who will
play as much as possible. The other
assignment will be shared by Joe
Bryan from last years lightweights
and William McGhee and Henry
Brent, both newcomers. Another
newcomer, Art Newsome, is at CEN
ter.
That gives Coach Wondrack as fair
a starting combination as most rival
coaches have, but Tech will be not
ably weak in reserves, handicap
that kept Anacostia back for two
years and which at last seems to be
solved there. Tech can do alright in
the number of reserves it can put on
the field, but Wondrack won't play
them until it's necessary.
Techs first-string players all are
ready for the iron man program fac
ing them. They will stay in the
game without relief until the threat
of serious injury forces Wondrack
to replace them. But with injuries
almost certain to come along 1t is
doubtful If Tech can improve over
its place last year at the bottom of
the east division. Anacostia is much
improved over last season and East
ern likewise is about so per cent
better even though its team is a bit
lighter than expected.

Turner's Arena at the request of the

Plummer and Newman claim that
one referee can't handle the four

at little favoritism shown Ernie

brothers defeated Plummer and
Newmen. In case the additional
arbiter is added he will be Curly

Cards Off 10 Detroit
Today With BagfuI
Of Trick Plays
To Show Titons Zuney
Attack; CoIonioIs
Work on Defense
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Catholic University's football
team, up to its ears in deceptive
plays and oozing with intricate in
formation as to how it should con-
duct itself, has devised a stream
lined system Of signals virtually
through necessity. Customers at the
c. U.-Detroit game Friday night at
Detroit are likely to feel the Cards
are prepping for entrance exams
to an insane asylum when Pete
Sachon barks directions for some of
Coach Dutch Bergman's pet maneu-
vers.
The Cardinals may not manutac-
ture winner this season, but they'll
have more color than a Hollywood
Indian. It'll be an awfully brainy
outfit or horribly embarrassed
one, for c. U. is equipped with
plays in which it employs every
thing but traffic cop. Bergman's
requisites are brains and speed, and
he'll discover how his squad is
blessed with both when the Titans
place it under pressure
Sachon Catches Spirit.
Sachon's assignment is no vaca-
ton. He mentally indexed Berg
mans complicated procedures in
the usual numerical fashion until
Dutch showed no signs of damming
the flow of plays. Now the Cards
may expect almost anything, for
Sachonf seemingly has caught the
spirit Of attempting to confuse the
opposition.
Pete still will below such signals
as 42-11-79-38-hike and 83-72-54-
hep. but occasionally he'll insert
such seemingly zany instructions as
pennsylvania $500" or "dipsy-doo-
die" 1t sort of substitutes litter
bug lingo for arithmetic, but Berg
man is willing to let his quarters
back use flags in calling signals pro-
viding the club clicks.
The Cards have plays calling for
everything but the ends commit
ting hari-kari and indications are
, that deception will be required to
dump Detroit. Bergman has an
advantage, though. in that the IT,
tans doubtless will expect the usual
dose Of c. U. plays. He has some
surprises for them and if his Cards
get by that tough opener they are
calculated to be sizzling stuff all
season.
Colonials Work on Defense.
Tackle Jam Conlen is unlikely
to view action in the Detroit en-
gagement due to bruised shoul-
der, but the Cards otherwise are in
fine physical shape They were to
entrain for Detroit late this after
noon and will work out at the scene
OF the struggle tomorrow.
Coach Bill Reinhart of George
Washington is laboring toward
checking the tricky offense authored
by Manhattan. So intent on STOP
ping the Jaspers is he that he
ordered the Colonials to toll in the
rain yesterday.
G.. w. will be making its first foot
fall invasion of New York in II
years and Reinhart is anxious to
make it winning one. He has his
team in excellent physical condi-
ton with the exception of Dan
Snyder. sophomore tackle, who may
be ready for service.
The Colonials will remain in New
York on Saturday to view the
Fordham-West Virginia game. G. w.
clashes with the Mountaineers later
this month.

Six-Mon Teams to Play
Chieoeo's Football
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-This one is {"
natural for fans and writers who
have missed the opportunity tn
create gags about Chicago's football
team since the Maroons dropped out
of Big Ten competition.
Chicago is organizing six-man
teams for intra- mural competition
with a nine-player limit for each
squad, and it seems that's what
should have happened long ago.
The teams of the past few years
always could muster a half dozen
good players. but they couldn't stand
up against 80 or 40 good ones on
rival squads.

city that has gone stark. raving
mad over its first consecutive
championship.

means the battling right arms OF

McCoskey and Gehringer. where
apparently the entire State of Ohio

A year ago the Reds came here,
back to the fragrant odor of home
cooking. trailing the devastating
Yankees by two games. 1t is all
different now. They begin their
home stay on even terms.
Almost every one is talking about
the arms versus the batting eye
the Reds crack pitching corps
versus the Tiger Wallop.
