Carrig, Sachon
Coach Griffith Figures
He Still Has Mukines
OF His Best Team

Catholic University's trackmen
dig in for their first test of the out
door season tomorrow at Annapolis,
facing Navy and William and Mary
in a three-cornered affair, but Dor
sey Griffith doesn't think his men
will threaten any records.
"As a matter of fact We'll be lucky
to finish third" he said dejectedly.
''If you think the Greeks are in a
tight spot you should have look
at my collection of athletes. We've
been Sabotaged. My freshmen can't
run because William and Mary is a
Southern Conference school; three
of my best men either left school
or are ineligible and another has
been sick and able to train only
three days this week. tell you it's
enough to discourage man."
Joe Carrig, Charley Moutenot and
Pete Sachon are the birds who have
flown Mr.. G.'s we'll ordered coop.
Carrig joined up with the F. B. I.
and will do his hoofing for Coach j.
Edgar Hoover. Moutenot is study
ing to be a Marine officer and
Sachon got himself disqualified by
pocketing the unf1atterihg sum of
25 skins for playing in the Smoke
Bowl football game at Richmond last
January.
MOutenot Is Greatest Loss.
Dorsey will miss Moutenot most.
Charley ran the 100 and 900, broad
jumped % feet, high jumped and
pole vaulted. In his spare time he
helped tape ankles and knead kinks
out of aching muscles. He'd win
couple of events every meet and
pick up several place points, so one
ready can see how his departure
will create sizeable deficit in G.
US point totals.
All that's left in the weight and
field department since Sachon can't
compete are one 16-pound shot, two
javelins zone slightly useO, 15-
foot bamboo pole and Red Conlen.
Red puts the shot, not very far, be-
cause he's no Al Blozis and because
he's not yet in the pink, but he may
develop into point winner be-
lore the season is very old.
John Weschler, the ailing athlete
who has been on the shelf couple
of weeks, is entered in five events
tomorrow. Griffith isn't going to
kill the boy for the sake of a paltry
point and probably won't use him
in all five events. He won't try too
hard when he does go to the post
but simply enough to keep him
happy.
And speaking of illness, John
Doyle, one of the Cards best middle
distance men, thinks he's coming
down with the measles. That, of
course, puts him in a class all by
his lonesome for a week or so.
Has Makings of Strong Team.
But Griffith isn't too depressed
by this smear of misfortune. He
still thinks he has the makings of
the best team in C. US history and
has lengthy schedule of II events
in which to prove his point. But
what he needs at the moment are
few able-bodied, non-spavined stu
dents to fill in the loose chinks in
tomorrow's program. AS it is, the
boys are doubling up so much they're
likely to meet themselves going and
coming.
The lineup for tomorrow, briefly,
Is as follows: 100, Weschler and
Cleveland Stauffer "a reformed
broad jumper; 220, Weschler, Charley
OKeefe and Ed Fullam; quarter
