- 7. JOHNS College High School
basket ball team will open its
season tomorrow, entertaining an
~ alumni combination of the Yer
mont avenue school in the st.
Johns gym.
Business Highs faSt-moving quint
also is to see action tomorrow, being
down for an encounter with the Hyatts-
vile High quint in the National Guard
Armory in the Maryland town.
Despite the loss of such players as
Johnny Schlegel center. and Joe Hud-
son and Joe Lucas, forwards, the Cadets
are looking to a successful season as
they have at hand a group of clever
tossers including Eugene AuguSterfer
and Buddy Gallagher, forwards: Roger
Cooper. center. and Andrew Morris and
Bob Quigley, guards.
One more game will be played after
tomorrow by the st. Johns team prior
TO the new year. Mount st. Josephs
All Stars are to be met in the Cadets
gym next Monday.
Business took Hyattsville High to
camp so easily early in the campaign
it is not expected to have much diff
Guilty repeating
SO far the Stenogs have lost just
two games. having bowed only to the
Freshman teams Of Catholic University
and George Washington University.
And the Business quint put up a stub
born battle before succumbing in each
Of these engagements.
In addition to Hyattsville. which was
taken to camp by the Stenogs in the
opening game of the campaign for both
teams, Business has conquered its alum
nj team, Strayer, and Woodward.
Real class has been shown by Coach
Lynn Woodworth's protegeS In Capt.
Matte Newman and Bob Lucas, for
wards: Spencer Chase, center, and Mil
ton Singman and Pete LOTUS, guards,
the Stenogs have bunch of players
of proved worth. An increasing num-
Der give Business real chance for the
crown in the championship series
starting January Z.
Against schoolboy quints of the Dis
trict area the HyattSville team so far
has not been so impressive but it has
found in the teams representing subur-
ban schools 1t has met little opposition.
Besides falling an easy victim to
Business. the Hyattsville team has
bowed to Western, Tech and st. Adams,
though its showing against the last two
CUNTS was not so bad. The suburban.
tiles doubtless have improved consid-
erably since their first meeting with
Business and likely will show to better
advantage tomorrow against the
Stenogs
Charlotte Hall Military Academy and
Rockville and Oakton. Va. High teams
are duints which so far have been de-
cisively drubbed by Hyattsville.
Frank (whitey) Cumberland, Cen
trails star sophomore athlete, who was
thought to have been lost for basket
ball this season, was to rejoin the Blue
and White squad today, when it was
to resume practice after a short lay-off.
Cumberland, whose family thought it
best that he confine his athletic ac-
tivities to base ball and foot ball, now
has received permission to also take
part in basket ball. This boy, a guard,
has shown plenty of promise as bas-
keter and is given a real chance to
win a regular berth on Coach Bert Coz
gins team Should he do this he prob
ably will earn his letter in three major
sports in one year, as he Is base ball
player OF proved worth. This would be
an unusual feat for a sophomore.
Cumberland was one of the sensations
of the foot ball season just closed.
After Gene Colella, Centrals regular
quarterback, had been forced to the
sidelines by an injury. Cumberland was
put at the signal-calling post He not
only proved himself an able field gen.
eral, but clever passer and punter
of ability.
Though Cumberland has displayed
worth as second basemen it is thought
likely that he will be shifted to Short
stop on the ball team next Spring, to
fill the gap left by the graduation of
Ken Fisher.
