and the Presidents hope to make it
start In a march to the cham.
pionship.
Every member of the starting line
up was on the football team last
fall. In addition to Williams, there
is E. Nowland, Jack Payne, Stanley
Hef1N and Charles Scott. Another
grldlroner who may becomer a reg
ular soon is Ed Snyder. He broke
an ankle during the football season
and only yesterday came out for
the court squad.
Coach Dorans injuries were not
as serious as first feared. He was
hurt Monday when his car was de-
molished near Charlottesville and
he still is in the hospital thcre. He
may be back tomorrow night.
Doctor Bars Two Gonzagans.
Two boys who probably would
have been court stars at Gonzaga
this season are not playing because
OF doctors orders. Basket ball being
the fast, exciting game that it is,
all players must pass stiff physical
or they don't go on.
Lane ODonnell and Vincent
Burke, jr., son of the local post
master, both were on last years
squad and O'Donnell was a regular
starter. Burke didn't play quite
enough to get his letter, but from
his work last season it almost was
certain that he would this time. The
physician says that they are a bit
overworked, however, and should
not play basket ball. They are
juniors, so probably will make the
grade next year.
No matter what may be the for
tunes OF Anacostia this season, and
they do not appear to be so bad in
spite OF its record of four losses in
SIX games, it figures to have a top
notch cage outfit next season when
the Junior varsity players become
regulars. They have won six
straight games now, the latest from
Woodward yesterday. 37-19.
Eastern in Tough Spot.
Reports from Annapolis say that
Eastern is going to have a tough
time when 1t tries to trim the Plebes
tomorrow. The Lincoln Parkers
without a doubt face the toughest
assignment of any local team in the
TOUR games scheduled. Episcopal of
Alexandria figures to take St. Paul's
after the good showing it made yes
terday when opening it's season by
downing Landon, 21-12. Washing
ton-Lee, in spite of its four losses to
one win so far. shouldn't have too
much trouble with Petersburg HiHl,
and, of course, the George WASH
ington- Thomas Jefferson game is a
toss-up.
Bethesda Chevy Chase is the first
school around Washington to put ice
! skating on its sports program. The
girls there have organized several
classes Which visit the Chevy Chase
Ice Palace three times a week. No
definite program has been arranged
yet. but Mrs. Beatrice Crocker, di-
rector of girls athletics, says that
probably they will have figure
skating competition before long.
! Pete Smith, who has been absent
from the basket ball team with an
injured ankle, has returned to prac-
| tice, although probably it will be a
week or more before he can play we'll
enough to be used in outside COM

Bethesda has two of it's graduates
on the Maryland freshman team
which is burning up all opposition.
Carroll Hayden and Leon Vannais
play regularly with the young Terps.
Montgomery County is we'll repre-
sented on that squad in fact. as Ash
ton Wood and John Woodward from
Rockville High also have berths.
