versity's football team with its most
potent scoring weapon yesterday at
Brookland Stadium, the Cardinals
capitalizing on the Friars' poor
pitching to register a 40-7 victory
before $500 spectators.
Obviously outclassed, Providence
took to the air early in the engage
ment with disastrous results. The
Cards intercepted seven of the
Friars' 81 heaves and four of those
interruptions paved the route to as
many Catholic touchdowns.
The triumph climaxed a salts
factory season for the Cards, who
lost decisions to highly regarded
Detroit, Tulsa and Hardin Simmons,
tied St. Vincent and defeated st.
Anselm, Miami West Virginia Wes-
leyan and Providence.
Backing Providence to its 3-yard
line early in the first period when
Charley Moutenot's punt was
downed by Marty Donovan at that
point, C. U. launched its initial
touchdown drive when John Ko-
WALSH punted out only SO yards.
Moutenot, Hank Brostek, Al Norris
and Huck Hughes elaborated in
nudging the leather to the 6-inch
line and Norris rammed over GEN.

5-yard line. Hughes stepped over
the goal line untouched.
The Cards were presented 14-0
lead on the next kickoff when Ko-
walsh stumbled while attempting
to run John Schroeder's boot out
of the end zone. Kowalski tripped
ANONYMOUSLY with no c. U. player
within 20 yards of him to register
an automatic safety.
Catholic built its lead to 300 in
the second period, starting a march

the third period. Norris yanked
Haponik's pass from the sky and
returned 8 yards to the Providence

Moutenot Tallies on Reverse.
At that juncture Moutenot whisked
around right end on the business
end of reverse, side-stepped the
Providence secondary and romped

Cherello drop-kicked the extra
point.
Providence struck through the air
