More Drive Is Needed

Opening Encounter

Coach Rasty Doran Of George
Washington High. Alexandria, sees
need for more scoring punch and
much smoother action on his team
following last nights game in which
the Presidents pried the lid off the
local scholastic gridiron season by
defeating James Monroe of Fred
ericksburg, l4-0.
Although G. w. completely out
classed the lighter Glass B State
champion in all departments, it
wasn't until the final quarter that it
was able to shove over its two touch
downs against the tired visitors.
The Monroe coach, Ben Plotnicki,
former George Washington PLAYER,
had 80 substitutes sitting on the
bench, but not until very late in the
game did he make more than one or
two replaCementS.

but the attack begged down at that
point. On two occasions in the first
half the Presidents advanced almost
to the Monroe goal. but were stopped
there and had to resort to field goal
tries. Two were missed.
Monroe never threatened as It
was held in check by the strong G.
w. line. Only twice did it advance
beyond midfeld and then only by
inches.
G. W.'s first touchdown resulted
from a 35-yard drive that began
late in the third quarter. Quarter
back Johnny Shelton. a guard last
year. returned punt to the Monroe
IS and then called for the spread
formation from which he. Leon
Chisolm and Irving Munford ad-
vanced to the 1-yard line. Early in
the final quarter the drive was CHI
NAKED when Shelton pounded
through center for the first touch
down.
G. W. Gains Heavily.
In the last five minutes the Presi-
dents again marched. Chisolm in
tercepted a pass on the Monroe SO.
from which point the Presidents
pounded across again with Marty
Foltz slipping 9 yards off tackle
for the score In both instances
Capt. Howard Hicks dropped back
from the line to convert from place

War Gloom Lighters De-
spite Absence OF News To
Justify Sentiment
BY FREDERICK d

NEW YORK, May 25.-R-War
gloom lifted a trifle in the stock
market today, without any especial
news to account for it, and leading
issues stepped out of a generally
disappointing week with a fair-sized
rally.
Steels, a%ircrafts, and coppers came
to the fore for gains running to
3 or more points after a sluggish
first hour when prices were slightly
MIXED in virtually all departments.
Dealings picked up a bit at the last
but still were far from fast. Top
gains were reduced in most cases
at the close.
Holds Slight Gain
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks held a net advance Ct 3
of a point at 1871 but for the week
showed a net loss of 2.3 points II
was the fourth consecutive webs
decline in this composite. Today the
barometer was a of a point above
it's two-year low established Tues
day. The 1910 high was 52.2
Transfers for the two hours
amounts to 554,S30 shares compar-
ed with 1,663,27O last Saturday when
quotations were topping. The weeks
volume of some 100000 900 shares
contrasted with about $1,000, 900 the
week before.
Germany's announcement of prog
ress on all fronts, the somewhat
acrid note sounded by British Of
ficials, and the NaZi air bombing
of England tended to depress some
traders, but the financial sector still
hoped the Allies were a long way
from defeat. The belief was express
ed that, with the generally sold
out" condition of the market, a
sharp upswing might follow any
real bullish news from abroad. Some
of the buying in the short session
was attributed to this idea.
Steels were particularly favored
bv indications mill operations next
week would mount briskly. Both
the metals and aircrafts were slim
ulated by the outlook for heavy do
nestle rearmament spending.
Among prominent share gamers
were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Doug
las Aircraft, United Aircraft, Glenn
Martin, Sperry, Lockheed, Anacon-
da, Kennecott Du Pont, and Sears
Roebuck.
Motors Jagged most of the time
but finished on the upside. Rails
were ahead small amounts, as were
rubbers and utilities.
Losses up to a point or SO in
cluded Dow Chemical, Union Car
bide, Johns-Manville, Eastman Ko-
dak and Standard Oil of N. J.
Gamers of fractions to more than
2 points in the curb were Ameri-
can Cynamid "B", American Gas,
Jones and Laighlin, Bell Aircraft
and Brewster Arc. The turnover
here was around 100000 shares
against 287, 900 a week age.
