{. Us Victory Hopes
Ringing on Gersin,
Grid Newcomer

Catholic University's hopes OF
walloping Mount st. Mary's at
Brookland Saturday depend a great
deal on Gus Gersin, a slippery half
back, who is having his first whirl
at the gridiron and enjoying the
experience.
Gus is a genuine dual threat as
a runner and passer and is just
beginning to get his football bear
ings.
Hes better than just a passer,"
commented Coach Gus Augusterfer.
Hes 8 left-hander and southpaws
can murder you. I know, because
played against couple and when
they turn one loose on you it's
like getting hit by haymaker you
didn't see."
Haymakers, OF course, are right
down Gersin's alley because he was
captain of the Cardinal ring team
last year and Is deadly puncher.
The ring was the only sporting
arena he knew until football was
revived at Brookland this autumn
and attracted his interest,
"It's just as tough as boxing" says
Gus, And sometimes think it's
rougher. You have only one man
to watch in a boxing bout, but you
never know how many are coming
at you in this game. But I like
it. I'm sorry I didn't have a
chance to play more of it."
Gersin took a physical beating
in his last two games, but he's ready
for the Mount st. Mary's test and
Augusterfer is counting on him to
put punch in the offense. He'll
have a chance to run as we'll as
pass the ball and he might even
have had a chance to punt If Joe
Mauiri wasn't on deck. Joe's aver
age of almost SO yards gives him
the No. l rating for this chore.
Saturdays game will start at
pm, half hour earlier than usual
and the reorganized Cardinal band
again will be on hand to entertain
