mi will not 60 into its second
meeting with Fordham University
an over confident football team,
''They have no reason to be over.
confident" Coach Andy Gustafsor
said today as he prepared his Hur.
ricanes for the New York team,
which last year walloped Miami
20 to 0, in what was one of the
most humiliating defeats ever suf.
fered by Miami.
They want to win this game
badly to avenge that 1853 defeat. /"
GuStafson said.
The Hurricanes will enter the
Fordham game Friday in good
physical shape. Capt. Gordon Nal.
10y, who suffered a bruised leg
when he made that sensational
catch of a Maryland punt on the
dead run last Friday night, will
be ready to 60 Friday night, Gus.

I'VE plan to start Malloy Fri.
day. Andy reported.
1t is still unknown whether Mike
Hudock, giant center who was un-
able to go against Maryland, will
be able to play this week. The
giant pivot man has been recupera.
ting fast and there is a chance that
he will be able to play, according
to trainer Dave Wike.
Another gigantic crowd Is anti.
cipated for the Miami Fordham
game Friday night. Miami's tire.
mendous success on the grid
iron this fall has brought new
football interest to this area. Last
Friday night the team played be-
fore 56,659 fans in the Miami =
Maryland game, while it is anti
cipated by University officials that
more than 10000 will see the Hur-
ricaneS in their battle with the pass
minded Fordham team which will
come to Miami hoping to upset
the Hurricanes and gain a spot in
the national spotlight.
Fordham has everything to gain
in its second meeting with Miami
and no doubt will gamble and
play reckless football.
Miami proved beyond doubt last
Friday that it is dangerous pass
ing team as well as one of the
great running teams of the nation.
The Hurricnes passed the Mary
land TerpS dizzy, and while win
ming only by a 8 to Z score, was
knocking at Maryland's doorstep
four other times.
Miami's starting backfield a.
gainst Fordham Friday night will
have Carl Garrigus at quarterback,
Captain Malloy and Whitley Rou-
Were at halfback and Don Bosse-
Ter, the greatest fullback in Uni
versity Of Miami history, holding
down the other post.
Frank Mcdonald, Miami'S All =
American end candidate, snagged
four passes in the Maryland game
and was a true All American in
every respect, according to Coach
Gustafson. He will open the Ford
ham game Friday on the right
flank with either Tom Pepsin or
Bob Nolan at the other end.
The tackles will be Allan Rod
berg and Charles Hutchings; the
guard, John Krotec and Joe Ko-
hut and the center, Ernest Tobey.
A really fine passing attack is
due to give Miami its stiffest aer-
ial test of the season Friday night
when the Fordham Rams unfurl
their aerial skill on the Orange
Bowl turf.
Holy Cross which passed Miami
silly has been no great shakes in
the air either before or since. The
Rams on the other hand, have a
smooth, well polished passing
game which is no three day.

Nobody has stopped Gene Gala

Andrew Nacrelli, one Of the best
pass catchers in the land and 1
lad who gave Miami fits in New
York last year.
The two collaborated on a 81
yard scoring pass against Blu and
Callahan also fired q scoring pass
to william Liptack against BU.
This same combination scored ON
Boston College.
Liptack missed the Marquette
game because of injuries but will
be ready for the Miami game.
The Rams use the split T this
year and have in Callahan a very
able operator since his speed en-
ables him to run like a halfback.
Fordham's halfbacks, Joe Pal
mieri, ITS and Andrew Romeo, 2O5
are holdover veterans. The fullback
100 pound Dick Ruth, was hurt but
played part of last years game
against Miami. Ed Danowski says
he's the best defensive fullback he's
ever had at Fordham and his line
backing will be Fordham's answer
to the Miami running attack which
