YoU have" said zahn, 1.-The hottest
team of high or prep school
rating we have played this season.
There's no team in The Star tourna-
ment that'll find the Alexandria boys
anything but plenty tough"
But that isn't all to buoy the spirits
OF the Presidents. They can point to
victory over the c. U. freshmen, who
twice defeated st. Johns, one of the
seeded teams in the metropolitan event.
They scored over Roosevelt, which
broke even with Western in the public
school series, and they lost by only a
few points to Eastern in game played
before George Washington got up q
gallop.
The Presidents started with green
lot OF players and have developed
steadily, and lately rapidly, under the
ardent coaching of Maurice Given, who
admits with forgivable pride that his
combination of the present hardly is
to be compared with the rough-edged
one that started the campaign.
Some of the George Washington
players were hoping to catch Washing
ton-Lee in the first round of the metro
polltan. In winning the championship
Of Northern Virginia the Little Gen.
erals twice defeated the Presidents,
but the deciding game went into extra

Mount Rainier. G. w. and WI will

In the meantime, Sherwood seems to
have clinched place in the metro
politan tournament as representative
of Montgomery County. Today the
Sherwoods rejoiced over a triumph in
the craftsmanship tournament at
Rockville, with Richard Montgomery
High, host school, as its 24-l9 victim
in the final. In the first round Rich
ard Montgomery eliminated Mont
gomery- Blair which was Sherwood's
principal rival for the metropolitan
berth. However, season records remain
to be compared and a decision in the
matter probably will be made today
by the tournament management.
Bethesda Chevy Chase will be Mont
gomery County's chief standard bearer
in the coming struggle.
Sherwood's victory over Richard
Montgomery was thriller. The battle
was tie at half-time at 1l-all, but
Sherwood proved its mastery beyond
reasonable doubt in the late going,
with Bond and Lansdale leading the
way.
