Bear Eleven Closes Successful
Season Defeating Melvindale

Defeating Melvindale 60, the
Roosevelt high school football squad
closed a successful 1914 grid season
Saturday, November IL.
The lone score Of the contest came
in the second period when Cata-
rino drove through the left side
of the Melvindale line from the Wis
itorS' eleven.
Starting from their own 20, the
Bears used their right half, Duncan
and left half, Catarino, in alter
nate runs to carry the ball to their
opponents %. A pass interference
penalty against Melvindale moved
the Dotte's to the II and set up the
scoring play. Carpenters extra point
attempt was wide.
Melvindale drove within the
Bears ten three times during the
game, but each threat was turned
back by fast charging Wyandotte
line.
This hard hitting wall contained
five seniors who were playing their
last prep grid game. They were
tackles, Walt KowalSki and Louis
Solet, guard, Ben Hecox and CEN
ter, Harvey Payne. Also closing their
high school football careers were
backfield men, Andy Duncan, an
other graduating senior and Russ
Louria, junior who expects call
from the Air Corps soon.
The Bears "A record consisted
of victories over Ecorse. Royal Oak,
Crosse Pointe. and Melvindale. Their
three losses were at the hands of
Lincoln Park, River Rouge and
Fordson.
The Monroe TrojanS played the
Dottes' to their only tie game of
the season.

Of the year Cawthon will have
missed.
However, he was in on the first
one-a 1914 triumph over Brook
lyn-as head coach Of the Tigers,
not as a member of the Lion staff.
and the result wasn't as pleasing
to him as those OF the last four
Sundays have been. Since Pete
joined the Lion coaching staff the
club has won two games from the
Card-Pitts, n to 6 and 81 to z, beat
the Bears, 41-21, and topped Cleve-
land, 26 to II.
The Lions are sorry he wasn't
also around when they met Green
Bay and for the first Cleveland
game. Those are the only two teams
that have beaten Detroit this sea-
son.

Approximately 10000 football fans
will pay close to 100000 for the
privilege of watching the Army
Navy game this Saturday at Balti-
more. In addition, these fans will
purchase about $20,OOO,OOO in war
bonds in order to get into the big
stadium.
Station WJR will broadcast this
classic starting at las pm. Then
after this game, WJR Will switch to
the Notre Dame Great Lakes con-
test, so it will be great afternoon
for the radio fans.
The Army-Navy game particular
ly is interesting because nobody
knows how strong Army really is.
The Cadets have scored 481 points
against % and have beaten every
body one-sidedly.
Navy is the only team in the land
that would be given any kind of a
chance against Army. The Middies
started with losses to Georgia Tech
and North Carolina Pre-Flght but
since then have picked up to trim
Penn, Notre Dame, Cornell and
Purdue in that order.
Navy lacks the finesse and sure
ness of Army's eleven but has de-
fensive strength galore. If the Mid
dies experience peak day down
there at Baltimore, it might be any
body's game.

or an saskatchewan to the
IL ade as a birddog.
To baseball in general, Egan con-
tributes a reputation as a story
teller. One of his favorite yarns
concerns the signing of Cullenbine,
who is having big year with the
Cleveland Indians.
Navin and Egan were sitting in
a field box of the Detroit park
when a fireman's double-header
was in progress. Between games,
Egan's attention was fastened on
a skinny kid in corduroy pants who
was trying to interest someone in
a game of catch.
"Just a moment, Mr.. Navin, !"
said Egan, who hoped out on the
field. Presently he emerged from
the dugout with a fungo bat with
which he lofted a few flies to the
kid in the corduroy pants. The fol-
lowing morning Cullenbine signed
a Detroit contract.
II never saw him play a game"
related Egan, "but somehow I
just liked his action
After the Tigers outscrambled
the field for Wakefield, who got
S52, 1000 and a new automobile for
signing, Egan said quietly he would
stake everything on the boy COM
ing through.
''Dick didn't let us down either,'
said Egan. ''He won the Texas
league batting title his first year
and finished second in the Ameri-
can league last summer. What a
hoy!"
But that's the way it is with
Egan. what boy" applies to
every lad he's ever signed.
