Sports News Catholic University Is Paying Greater Attention SPRING FOOT BALL WL GET BG PLAY Cards Display Lots of Grit in 29-27 Victory Over BY H. C. BYRD. HILE it has eliminated Maryland Quint. all intercollegiate ath- letic competition for the remainder of the year, excgpt basket ball, Catholic Uni- versity plans to intensify its sports efforts in other ways. Particularly will this be true of intra- mural sports, in~ which a wide and varied program now is being prepared by Athletic Director Bergman. Also Bergman is making arangements to hold Spring foot ball practice, and make it encompass as many students as pessible, as a general part of the eflort to get many men engaged in competitive play. In regard to Spring foot ball, Berg- man has a twofold purpose. First, he wants to get his men ready for a diffi- cult campaign next year, which means hard practice and a lot of it, and sec- ond, it is his intention to use Spring foot ball as one of the intramura] ac- tivities. In this way Bergman not only hopes to get the best possible develop- ment for his varsity for next Fall, but also to interest more men and thus give an opportunity for them to derive from participation in foot ball its unques- tioned values. A great many students through Spring practice may get op- portunities to take part in the game who otherwise would not. as thgy hardly would be candidates for a varsity squad. Ll E began last year to build up a system of athletics for all and got things well under way,” said Bergman this morning, “and we stail continue and intensify that program this Spring. We are starting now, while we do not have intercoilegiate boxing the remainder of this year, we are con- tinuing our men in the sport and have many men working out under Coach Eddie La Fond. “We cut our program this year for no other reason than economic necessity. We might have continued and wound up with a big deficit. but such a course would have been against every rule of common sense. If conditions are a little better next vear, we shall come right back in every sport, and come back strong. But in (his time of financial stress no educational institution that works along fundamentally sound lines is going to run the risk of having its more or less depleted general educa- tional funds encounter a further drain to take care of deficits in intercolle- giate sports. We couldn't think of placing the administrative authorities of the university in any position -where they mght feel oblizated to do any- thing of this kind.” The students and all those interested in Catholic University recognize the sit- uation and are co-operating cheerfully, even if they would like to have the sit- | uation somewhat different. | HEER ability to outfight its oppo- | nent produced an overtime period victory last night for Catholic Uni- The Brookland five was so outclassed in the early stages of the contest, and throughout the first half, that hardly anybody in the big gymnasium thought they had a chance, Yet in the second half came back with a driving force that Marylend could not match, or at least did not match The way Maryland scored peints ) WASHINGTON, D.

JOHN PESEK, wrestling M champion of, maybe, Cin- cinnati and suburbs, or points in that locality, actually wrestles. The rangy Bohemian matman is merely a one-fourth world cham- pion along with the Messrs. Londos, De Glane and Lewis, all - | possessors of a slice of the cham- pionship pudding, one of those dishes so scrambled neither you nor I want to go into the matter. ! However, when they began cut- ting up this ‘itle into slices Mr. Pesek did not get his share from all that I have heard about his prowess on the stuffed mat. Pesek also rcsembles a wrestler, which in itself, is very unusual. The wrestling crop of today are so far removed from the athletic wrestling types of other years that it takes an affidavit or two to prove that the batch ¢f them have not escaped from a circus sideshow. Londos, Shikat, Pesek, the Duseks, Steele, Steinke and a few more of the boys really know how to wrestle. but in the main the beeves and spilled- lard type of groaners and grunters, who were imported to this haven of con-| fusion during the big-money day of the | mat game, know no more about what scientific grappling means than does Aunt Amelia’s pet hen. Anyhow, Pesck resembles a wres- tier. He weighs an athletic 190 pounds, is wiry, wrestles with many of the old catch-as-catch-can grips, does not go in for moaning, and has a mat reputation second to none. Grapl;ie to f'inish In Tonight’s Show 'HREE finish matches will mark tonight's wrestling card at the ‘Washington Auditorium, with a bout between John Pesek, one of the four world champions in circuia- tion, and George Vessell, sturdy Greek, headlining program. Action will start at 8:30 o'clock. Other matches feature Joe Savoldi, Frank Judson, Hans Kampfer and Gino Garibaldi. The card: John Pesek, vs. George Vassell, 2- hour time limit. Joe Savoldi vs. John Maxos, 2- hour time limit. Jim Clinkstock vs. Frank Judson, 2-hour time limit. Hans Kampfer vs. Gino Garibaldi, 30-minute time limit. Jacques Humberto vs. Floyd Mar- shall, Jfl-mll:nu time lll!ll. And he is not a trust wrestler, which is a rare treat, though he has not, nor will not, get anywhere in the grapple pastime without affiliating himself with one of the combines, or hoss shows. Which is why Mr. Pesek has only Cincinnati and suburbs, and various other small points, to protect. | Yet the wiry Bohemian is credited with having wrestled the Iongest‘ shooting match bout in the history of the sport. He and Jimmy Londos wres- tled for seven hours in St. Louis in the days before the hip-hip-hippo- drome was in vogue. Only a -daylight law stopped them from still floppirg around on that mat. Not only that, but John holds d cisions over Jeems, Joe Stecher, Marin | Plestina, Wladek and _ Stanislaus | Zbyszio, Jack Sherry and Charlie Han- | sen, won at a time when all of them were doing more wrestling and less grumting. The rest of the flock added a few groans to their holds, joined up with a circus and fared well, but Pesek stuck with the old style. | John's bout with Plestina—remember Marin, the boy who had ’em all scared | —was a peach. He gave Plestina 50 | pounds, and then sent him to a hos- | pital to think things over. | Take a peek at Pesek. He is one | of the few old-time shooting wrestlers left. The front office doesn't want to handle him because he has never be- | come modern. But he can wrestle like 2 bear, and he snubs all forms of acro- | batics. Among the wise men of the mat | game Pesek is rated the greatest. He is another Hans Steinke. And you know that few of the tumblers want anything to do with Hans. | | It ought to be a treat to see a| | wrestler really wrestle—a bout sans groans, grunts and acrobatics. Yet| Pesek is not going anywhere—he | | doesn’t belong. OFF SPRING GRID WORK Dobson, Richmond Coach, Questions | | Value of Practice. | RICHMOND, Va.

AGAINST an unwary opponent this combination, employed by Coach Francis Smith, the old Arkansas wizard, at Texas Christian Ur;é\'exsity, often will bring great re- sults. Its success hinges a great deal upon the result of efforts by the forwards, 2 and 4, to draw their de- {gnsive men out of ‘the sagring terri- ry.

If 2 and 4 have led their defensive men to the proper places, they will be screened by 3 and 5. Then 2 and 4 can cut around the screen and drive in past 1, who can pivot and give one of them the ball for a try at the basket. The defensive men of 3 and 5 may shift to 2 and 4, but itetakes quick thinking to shift efficiently, th = o i times enough to avoid the three-second (Copyrisi,. 1033, Fossis s 1 agreed to train and B: Olympic record of 1:51:8 and but a stride behind Eddie Genung, who was fourth and the first Americin. “He was home for the Christmas holid:ys and told me that his one great Sherm ambition as an athlete had not yet been fulfilled, and that was to win a Millrose medal. such as I have always used as a pocket piece. 1 am WTiting you to see if it would be possible to invite him to your meet this year.

The two principal ideas, as gathered by Lou Little, chairman of the com- | mittee the coaches formed at their De~ | cember meetings, are that something fougl’!t to be done about the forward |pass and that the ball ought to be brought in from the edge of the-field without the loss of a down before it is carried over the side line.

The coaches offer | three possible changes to discourage too much passing. They are 1. That the penalty for two succes- sive incomplete passes be increased from 5 to 15 yards; offered by Little. 2. That forward passes be permitted from any point behind the scrimmage Line, replacing the present restriction that the ball must be thrown from a point at least five yards behind the line; made by Dick Hanley of Northwestern. 3. That a forward pass caught by the defense after it has touched an in- eligible receiver be ruled an inter- | cepted pass_instead of an incomplete pass, as is the case today. “Personally,” Little added, “I believe that, aside from simplifving the rules, taking away the ambiguity that exists in some places, the rules should be let alone. Last year's ehanges worked out very well. A little attention to the for- ward pass is about all I can see that is necessary.” BADGERS LOSE GRIDMAN Shoulder Injury Peterson Suffers | Pronounced Chronic.

Although the public considers the smooth teamwork on offense and & sturdy defense responsible for the Ccmmodores’ nine straight victories, Cody and his proteges say the most important factor is strict cbservance of the laws of superstition.
