Hordimon Great Hoyo BuIwork
As Sndgger of Foes Passes

The players who get the touch
downs get the headlines. That's
why such lads as Billy Conn and
Frank Mattingly are best known
among Georgetown University
gridders. But there's another
player on the Hilltop who is as
much responsible-maybe more so
for what success the Hoyas
have had this season.
Tommy Hardiman is listed as
quarterback, but he hasn't called
a signal or thrown a pass. He
plays only on defense and the
only way he can get his hands on
the ball is to intercept a pass.
That's just what he does best,
in fact, his pass defense at times
has been downright sensational.
When he isn't intercepting or
batting down passes, Hardinan is
playing a generally bangup defen-
sive game from his safety-man
position.
Tommy has had nine intercept
tions this season, at least one in
every game. And all pass inter-
ceptions are important ones. In
the Maryland game. for example,
he pulled in one inside his 10
that appeared headed for touch
down. At Wake Forest, he batted
down a pass in the third period
that helped end a long drive that
had rocked the Hoyas back to
their goal and a short time later
he intercepted an aerial and re-
turned it "a yards to set up
Georgetown's winning touchdown.
Then came the New York u.
game in which he made a goal
line interception as a warmup for
some really excellent work the
next week at Boston College. He
was at his sensational best in
helping the Hoyas to an upset
triumph there, pulling in two Of
Ed Songin's aerials. Both were
marvellous catches, one made with
q flying dive and another while
he was lying on the ground. Last
week against Villanova his inter-
ception was made on George
towns l..
And SO it goes-when he isn't
intercepting them he's batting
them down. In between times, he's
helping the line hackers with their
tackling. Hardiman has extremely
quick reactions and as soon as its
certain an opposition play isn't
going to be a pass he can rush up
Evening star., 1949-11-08

Realizing that Michigan State
definitely was our toughest oppo-
nent to date and that Lynn Chand-
nois was the best back we have
faced this fall, I am extremely
happy over the outcome and I
know that Coach Biggie Mum
must be exceptionally proud of
his fine team. The manner in
which the Spartans fought back
to score two touchdowns in the
final quarter is definite reflec-
ton on an excellent coaching
staff. 1t is my opinion that a
football coach's most important
job is to instill in the young men
under him a never-say-die spirit.
No path to success in America is
strewn with roses and the men
who are willing to do their utmost
to achieve their objective, regard
less Of the odds, are the men who
will be the future leaders of our
country. Such were the men
who represented Michigan State
College.
New Irish Defense Effective.
Pointing out individual stars on
our squad would be unfair, as again
1t was a team victory. Every
member Of our squad was very
pleased to see Bob Williams score
his first touchdown for Notre
Dame. Our readers may recall that
following our Purdue game we ex-
planned a play which Quarterback
Williams started to carry the ball
around end and as the tacklers
converged on him he lateralled
to Fullback Emil Sitko, who went
over the goal line. Against Mich
igan State, the would-be tacklers
converged on Sitko, so Williams
kept the ball and sped 40 yards
to q touchdown.
lnasmnch as the game was not
televised, perhaps some Of our fans
might be interested in the defense
that Notre Dame employed against
the powerful single wing. Rather
than assume their normal positions
on the line of scrimmage when
the Spartans we're in the huddle,
our team lined up parallel with the

Caps Count on Nichols
To Halt Mikan Tonight
In Clash With Lakers
By Bill Fuchs

Big Jack Nichols, who worked
at a lumber camp during the sum-

towering George Mikan to size to-
night when the Caps take on Min
neapolis at Uline Arena at 8::45.
Each team is undefeated and will
be seeking a third victory in the
infant National Basket Ball Asso-
citation season.
No one can be expected to stop
Mikan altogether. The 6-foot-10-
inch bespectacled scoring wizard
dropped in an average of % points
a game last season and indications
are he hasn't lost any of his touch.
"Mikan's good" agrees Player
Coach Bob Feerick, you can't
take it away from him. I figure
we'll be doing we'll to hold him
to Is points.
Nichols Good Offensively.
"But Nichols can give him fit"

has a good one-hand shot and he
can duck and go.
Il know the odds are against it,
but I wouldn't be at all surprised
to see Jack outscore Mikan. It's
very possible"
Jack, who has completed a pre-
medical course, came to the Caps
from the West Coast midway last
season and proved himself to bs
one of the top rockies of the year.
He stands CT and weighs 22S
pounds.
But stopping Mikan won't be
the only task for the Caps tonight.
The Lakers have some other po-
tent scoring hands in Jim Pollard,
Arnie Ferren, Herman Schaefer
and Gene Stump. ~"

"But probably will not play
tomorrow at Philadelphia" says
Feerick. "My knee doesn't bother
me any more, but I haven't had
chance to get into shape yet. I
was very tired after that game
Saturday night"
Besides Mikan and Pollard, who
measures 6-5, the Lakers have
a couple of tall newcomers in
Vern Mikkelson and Norm Click.
Each is CT. Mikkelson played
for Hamline University last year

Heaviest in Is Years
OF AP Football Poll
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Notre

teams have done in the past.
The resourceful fighting Irish,

sixth place behind the defending
national champion Michigan,
twice beaten this year.
Top Five Hold Firm.
With the poll broadening each
season, Notre Dame commands
the heaviest first-place vote in
the 13-year history of the Asso-
