argument in our Office about divid-

contend that it is correct to divide

Saturday when they meet at

Some football forecasters give
c. U. a slight edge over their
neighboring rivals. but Coach Jan
Jankowski SCOTS at the idea.
Jankowski calls Gallaudet the
toughest little opponent you can
PICK on" and he speaks from ex-
perience, having played in the last
c. U.-Gallaudet game 10 years
ago.
1--WE beat them 91-o that day,
the highest score ever rolled up
by Catholic University team
he recalled. "but those boys were
playing as fast and hitting as
hard at the finish as at the start.
We couldn't break their spirit.
When you were blocked or tackled
by one Of those Gallaudet men,
brother. it was like getting hit
by a truck. Gallaudet was the
toughest team. physically, we
played and I understand this 1949
team has the same spirit.
''We talk about team spirit and
school loyalty" the Cardinal men
tor continued, "but no school has
it like Gallaudet and In this con-
ference a team can win a lot of
games on that kind OF spirit
alone"
Jankowski scored four touch
downs against the Blues in pac-
ing c. us winning attack in
1881. but it's doubtful If his
charges will get half that many
