But today back on home soil, the Cardinals found foot balls wandering spotlight ready to focus on them again. From the hills of the State from which they inherit their name, West Vireinia Wesleyans Bobcats will invade Saturday, and notwithstanding the Cardinals change in fortune, they might we’ll discover themselves prime 6ugres of interest. There is general curiosity as to The Cardinals failure to measure up to expectations. Virtually all gridiron critics assigned them the top spot again this season, recalling vividly Catholics feats of 1885 and the Orange Bowl victory carved out in Miami on New Year day. There was power. speed and deception in the Brookland out at, and none of 1t outwardly was lost. But somewhere there has been a leak, fndiscernible from the many hundreds of miles separating Mississippi and Louisiana At BroOkland Bowl Saturday the Cards might well find them selves under a flgurative microscope. Wesleyan Team Surprises. supporter has been surprised at the feats of the Bobcats this season. A year ago, with virtually the same eleven representing the West VirsinianS, the Cards won this game in stride. Today Wesleyan looms as an scid test. AS Catholic slipped, Wesleyan surged ahead. 1t whipped Geneva and buried Davis-E -Elkins. 1t sost, 60, to strong st. Vincent team, snd $50 to West Virginia. Then, springing possibly the most bizarre upset of the season, the Bob eats caught Duquesne off stride and won a 2-to-0 decision from a power fhat only week previous had estab- Gshed itself by overcoming Pittsburgh. Even in the face of WeSleyan’S sur rrises, including a 14-to-7 win over Waynesburg last week while five regubars were out of the lineup, a third straight setback hardly would set we’ll ut Catholic U. One thing for which the Cards can be thankful is that for all of their adversities they are full strength. AS preparations were begun today for the Bobcat encounter they had all players available, including Right Guard Dick Arnold, who was injured in the Mississippi game. Arnold was forced to sit out the toyola affair, but his ankle now is completely healed Only one other college game is Slated here on Saturday.

I UNIVERSITY OF Maryland today was getting over a scare that threatened to plunge the Terrapins Dnto gloom. From Florida, where they dropped a ’7–⁠6 game to the Gators, bdaryland’s squad limped shattered and bred, and apparently the chief sufferer Fas Bill Guckeyson, spearhead of the Old Line offensive. At first it was scared that Guckeyson, with pulled groin muscle, would be definitely out Af the game with Richmond Saturday, but the good news at College Park today was that Bill, If necessary, would be available for part-time service Against the Spiders in the Virginia Sapital Saturday. Without Guckeyson the Terps would pe a dubious sort of a team, particu- Rrly with Jim Meade and Coleman aeadley nursing bad knees and Blair Smith, crack end, on the sidelines with , couple badly bruised ribs. So badly battered is Maryland’s squad that bcrimmage for the regulars has been sailed of for the rest Of the year. Interesting figures were brought oack from Florida bespeaking Guckeyeon’s value to the Old Liners.
