One department in which the
Hurricanes may meet their match
tonight is in punting, although ac-
cording to the National Collegiate
Athletic Bureau Miami ranks fourth
in the Nation, behind North Caro-
lima, Virginia and Kentucky, in the
kicking department. Harry Ghaul,
top college kicker in the country
two years ago. Is their ace.
Spanger Is G. w. Mainstay.
The Colonials are counting upon
Bill Spangler to match Ghaul and
to date their averages are about
even, although Spangler is not
listed among the country's best due
to technicality. One of Spangler's
kicks was blocked In the Wake For
est game last week, but although
the play was called back due to a
penalty the figures incorrectly were
sent to the Moab including 4
blocked kick.
Spangler, who has not kicked
since high school days in his home
town Of San Luis Obispo, Calf .,
carries a punting average of 4l.6.
This year the G. w. Junior. who took
over the punting and in addition does
the quarterbacking from his full
back position, is one of the Colo

Speaking of lures, here's a new
one for the book: Stanley j. Mikina,
scientist-inventor for Westinghouse
and avid angler, has dreamed up a
shiny magnesium ninnow about 8
inches long. In the center is a
hollow spot for placing a capsule
containing bicarbonate OF soda and
citric acid powder. A light foam
plastic fills the rest of the minnow,
making it float easily. All one does
is puncture the capsule, insert 1t
in the hollow spot and the action
of the water on the chemicals will
make the minnow burp stream of
bubbles that give off alluring little
pops" lasting for an hour. Mikina
claims it will really excite any game
fish larger than the minnow bait.
His patents on the lure have been
turned over to a Detroit firm. which
plans to produce 1t next year.

Catholic u. Finds Slower Pace

Catholic University's debated

slipped into low gear. On the
Nations football scene the Cards
won't create an atom OF aston
ishment, their basket ball teams
will struggle to remain a notch
above mediocrity and the boxing
teams will absorb punishment,
but Athletic Director Eddie La
Fond isn't fretting.
There's no pressure on U.s."
beamed stocky Eddie. Look at
this. Here's q letter from the
national president of the alumni
association and he says the fight
and spirit Of our football team
was thrilling. He's talking about
a game we lost, $50.
"I'd say 500 of our students fol-
lowed the team to Westminster
for the opener with Western
Maryland and I expect the same
sort of turnout at Baltimore to-
morrow when we play Johns
Hopkins. Naturally. the students
are disappointed when we don't
win. but eventually we'll take our
share.
Grid Squad Cut Four Times.
II think we have q solid sort
of program" continued Eddie.
We're giving an athletic outlet
to more students. We're playing
our football games within range
OF 100 miles, with no guarantee
attached. Our most expensive
trip won't cost $3.50, including
transportation and meals. We're
not keeping our athletes away
from school because We don't
have any overnight trips.
I'VE could have 200 fellows in
football uniforms If we could
handle 'em, but we've had to cut
the squad four times. We're still
taxed for facilities, but that will
improve gradually. Wen do all
right, eventually, in our class and
our class is the Mason-Dixon
Conference. BY doing all right
I mean we'll win some and lose
some. There isn't boy in school
on an athletic scholarship, SO
we're not going to be world-beat-
ers in any sport.
Maybe It's more sensible that
way. In a period Of 10 years,
from 1924 through 1884, the
schools losses on football alone
were staggering. We're running
the whole athletic program now
on considerably less than the
deficit of most of those years.
There are lot of headaches to
bigtime football.
THE Orange Bowl game Is
more of an attraction now than
when we played in 1t. but even
then 1t was considered something
to get the bid. We got the bid,
all right, and the trip cost us
$500 more than the guarantee we
got out of 1t.
There were times when we'd
have so boys in school on ath-
letic scholarships and I'd esti-
mate each boy cost the school
$1,000 a year. Maybe an out
standing football team is a good
advertisement for the school, but
it seems to be the most expensive
advertising imaginable"
