PAGE SIX Holy Cross' Improvement Traced to Soph Whizzes By SAN&Y PADWE ! A pair of fighting Irishmen n’nmed Pat McCarthy and Tom Hennessey are the main rea sons why the Holy Cross Cru saders have captured the im agination of football fans throughout New England. McCarthy, a quarterback who loves to gamble, and Hennessey, a fleet-footed halfback, typify the youth and drive of the whole ifoly Cross team which plays Penn State at Worcester, Mass., tomorrow afternoon at 1:30., Both are sophomores but they handle themselves like three year leitermen when Saturday afternoon rolls around. Scouting reports say that Mc- Carthy makes the rollout option a puzzle for any defense. The Ilaverhil, Mass., star also has a flair for the unexpected and often takes wild risks which have a funny habit of working for him. "McCarthy is smart and he likes to carry a lot. He has, the size and quickness for it,’’ Lion scout J. T. White said. - The 6-1, 195-pounder also is a gifted passer, and he has com pleted 31 of 35 passes for 497 yards and (hrec touchdowns. Hennessey's greatest asset is his speed which makes him a breakaway threat at all times. He is Holy Cross’ leading ground gainer with 286 yards in 51 carries, an average of 5.8 yards a carry. "Tom is really something when he comes breaking out of a gang 1 of tacklcrs,” says Crusader coach! Eddie Anderson, a former All-; American under Knule Rocknel at Noire Dame. He’s going to get; better when he gets some more ! experience.” I Hennessey and McCarthy have! plenty of support in the backfielcL in halfbacks Johnny Allen and! Dick Skinner and fullbacks Kevinj Malone and Gerry-Wheeler. Allen, one of the few seniors , on a team dominated by sopho- j mores and juniors, is a hard j runner with good speed. He has | been alternating with Dick j Skinner, another senior who i was Holy Cross' top ground ! gainer a year ago. j Malone, who will probably! start: at fullback, played halfback! last year but was switched be-1 cause ho is a power runner. j Wheeler, only 5-B,' 185 is one of the Crusaders top defensive! backs. i Holy Cross will be out to pre serve a four game win streak ; fomorrow and hopes are high j around Worcester for an upset, j The Crusaders started out just j ns the experts predicted with! three straight losses to Harvard,! Boston University and Syracuse. * * ★ ★ ★ ★ But since then they’ve bounced back to beat Dartmouth, Colum bia, Marquette and Dayton. Grid Notes—Penn Stale's Stew !
