Gu Host 10 Hopkins
In Homecoming Game

Catholic University has a chance
to better its 1949 football record
and chalk up It's first victory over
Johns Hopkins today when the
two meet at 2:30 at Brookland ir
GUS homecoming game.
1t will be the fourth gridiror
meeting between the schools ano
the Cards have yet to come close
to winning. Coach Jan Jankowsk1
feels. however, that this may be
his year. Catholic has a varied and
potent offense woven around
Bucky Ennis and will shoot the
works. It will be the first time a
majority of the old-timers have
seen the Cards use the split-T 7
and Jankowski hopes they are
pleasantly surprised.
Ennis will have a new running
mate at right half in Danny KILL
grew, with Bill Poms at fullback
and Joe Mauiri calling signals.
The Cards must stop Hopkins
explosive attack to win what
promises to be a free-scoring
game and Jankowski believes he
has the line to do it. Moving
Guard Jack O'Neill and Halfback
Ed Holl to end on defense has
bolstered the wings, and Tom
Cotter and Henry Quinn have
been stalwarts at tackle.
Hopkins has scored at least two
touchdowns in each of it's three
games, although the Blue Jays
have only one victory to show for
the season. The Baltimoreans
have been particularly effective
through the air and both teams
probably will throw the ball more
than they run with 1t in trying
to roll up a score.
