Another "iron-man" eleven, the
first in this precinct since Maude

Fod Cotton, his first lieutenant,
dolefully agreed that Catholic S
hope for a winning record this
autumn lies in the possibilities of an
iron-man combination. Yesterdays
scrimmage, hard but cleanly
fought affair, confirmed earlier re-
ports that C. U. would have a
potent first team but less reserves
than bankrupt playboy, that Berg
man will have to employ sleight of
hand to get by with his thinly-
populated squad.
His top eleven men will be asked
to play each and every ball game
with virtually no hope of relief and
with the ugly specter of injury con-
tinually facing them. They might
get away with it in one or two
games but over a tough 8-game
stretch it's asking a lot. 1t isn't an
encouraging picture.
Maryland Coaches Elated.

Murphy. it was not hard to see
again will be the sparkplug. He got
of one long run and performed
with merit at all times. Moe
Mulvjhlli. a rookie halfback cavort-
ing in c. US backfeld, matched
Joe's run and showed a neat pair
of heels outracing Joe Hoopengard-
ner 10 the goal line, but Murphy
was the best all-around back on
the field. This year he's going to
have some help. He's going to have
some interference when he sets out
on those sweeping runs and ex-
plodes off tackle. 1t will be a new
experience for the speed
kid, but he's had enough of that
rugged individual role. Team play is

Cardinal rockies who showed
promise were Mulvihill, Cody, g

back. While Mulvihill, a former St
Johns Prep star, had plenty Of

a better all-around back and better
