Catholic University's woefully
green track team was to make its
initial appearance Of the season at
Brookland this afternoon in a dual
meet with Wake Forest starting at
$3.50 o'clock. The Deacons replace
Johns Hopkins, which cancelled its
date with the Cards last week.
Coach Dorsey Griffith gave his
charges only q scant chance Of
coping the honors, but welcomed
the opportunity OF trial run before
Saturdays triangular meet with
Navy and Villanova at Annapolis.
He expected to give several promis-
ing newcomers a careful inspection,
hopeful of turning up a new star
in some event. But Grifith had q
multitude of problems to solve In
order to fill out the lists.
Jimmy Zuppa, for example, has
moved up from the sprints to the
half-mile because Of q recurring
leg injury. He pulled a muscle
twice in practice sprints, indicating
he would be useless In those events.
He wants to run, however, and Crit
fifth needs half-milers. Hoofing

debut today, is not too well fixed in
this department. Catholic U. also is
a question mark.
1t was confirmed only partially
because a youngster by the handle
of Rube McNab, who won his dia-
mond spurs at Westinghouse High
School and took a postgraduate
course with the Heurich Brewers,
turned in a Grade A stint for the
Eagles after relieving Norman Byer.
He gave up one solitary bingle in
his four -and-two-thirdS-inning trick
and the winning run that trickled
over the plate in the final inning was
error r-tainted.
McNab Displays Class.
McNab displayed all the earmarks
Of good college hurler and against
Mason-Dixon Conference competi-
ton he should be nothing short of
sensational. He's tall and loose. He
has a Sharp-breaking curve and a
fair change of pace. He doesn't t
rattle easily and when he stepped
on the rubber you could see the lads
behind him perk up like pan of
homemade biscuits. His poise gives
his mates some much-needed conf
dence.
The Colonials, alas and alack, have
only one chucker, Red Kloak, and
when the broad-beamed knuckle-
baller fails to last Coach Winnie
DeAngelis simply picks a relief pitch
er by the eeny-meeny-miney-moe
system. Yesterday moe was Bobby
Gilham, the Colonial's crack second
baseman, who pitched as though
trying to pick of the batter on
double play. He snapped the ball
with a tricky wrist motion, exciting
some curiosity concerning his dura-
bility over the nine-inning route.
Aside from his pitching problem
DeAngelis appears to be set in all
other departments. Billy Robert

Koniezewsh needs a lot of polish at

as a hard-hitting outfit. although
McNab put a big dent in this theory.
The question Is whether their fence
busting will be enough to Offset
their pitching in future games.
