fairly firm grip of the putter,
he strokes the blade right

no pendulum swing about it;
it's a distinct hit. Making the

PREP
IN BIC GAME

The strong Northern Prep eleven,
coached by Charlie FenWick. faces
it's greatest assignment Sunday in
the game with Joe Perron's Palace
Prep lads on the West Potomac
Park No. 2 field at 3 O'Clock. The
Eortherns, with a string. Of impos-
ing victories. can ascend to the
championship throne OF the Capital
City 135-pound league by a victory
over the Southwest lads. The Palace
Prep team win practice tonight at
7:30 o'clock in the clubhouse.
The Northerns have annexed
seven games and tied one in league
competition while Palace has bagged
six games, dropped one and drew
in another. Consequently, the Pal
ace boys can go into a deadlock
with their rivals, by a win on this
Sa bbath. The decisive champion
ship game would then be contested
on December %.
SandI0t critics contend that
the Northern team is the best
drilled in junior football circles
here and attribute the showing
10 the eal est efforts OF Coach
Charlie FenWick.
Fenwick is the former line coacn
at the University OF Virginia who
this past fall coached the linemen
at Maryland University. He mas
given his time TO the Northern lads,
believing that he could thus help
them in their goal Fenwick has
been a helpful influence on the
sandlot game and his missionary
work has borne results.
Sundays game is so important
that Bill F'lester. general director
of the league. has assigned three
officials TO handle it. Hende son
will serve as referee; stevens as
umpire. and Joe Mitchell as head
tinesman.
