SPORTS. GUARD IS PRODUCT OF DETERMINATION Bergman Lauds 153-Pound- er, Who Is Assisting With Catholic U. Drills. - BY H. C. BYRD. E greatest example of v.l:at I hard work, application to & given purpose and studicus attention to details can ac- complish has been found, accord- ing to “Dutch” Bergman, athletic director of Catholic University. ‘That example is the living person of Bert Metzger, brilliant Notre Dame guard of last Fall, now as- sisting Bergman in Spring foot ball coaching. It is Bergman's opinion that no other | Jfguard in the whole hist:ry ol the ll’flll ever surpassad, equaled. Metzger's ab! the detads o. fun: and oLensive lin> pay, espezinl 8pplics to the type of play a2 "l luve never seen, snd I doubt if there ever existed, in foot ball any man who could equal Metzger in actually chn‘ in l line of scrimmage everytaung supposed to do. Last Winter Rockne Tame that Metzger worked hours more than any other player on ecting the mechinical part play. And being excep- tionally intelligent, it was easy for Metz- ger, once he mastered the intricacies of rd play, to put into effect what he learned. “Rockne told me that in all his coach- ing he never had any other man so will- ing to put in so much extra time to learn the fundamentals of line play. And after all, ycu know, putting into effect the fundamentals cf line play is about all there is to being a great gucrd. “And Metzger was all of th:t and more. He is small, it is true, as he right now weighs only 152 pounds, but smali is only relative in his case. He realy is big, as I have never seen a man of 180 pounds with a beiter pair of hands or m:re superbly develcped arms and shoulders. Physic-lly he is cne of those chaps that on> finds oniy once in a great while. As soon as Metzger began to work with us ths Spring I raadily saw why he wes a g.eat guard. It was simply & case cf his being abe to do thlnn 50 much moie proiciently and 'E.uun his opponents that he n offset my weight advantage own Bergman expmm himself as being very sorry that Metzger will not be with him next season. It is understood that Metzger will get his diploma at Notre Dame in June and that he will go to work for the Bowman Dairy Co. of Chicago, in which his father is an ex- ecutive and a director. ‘Temple University comes here today | to meet Georgetown in base ball.
