~What do you mean. 'mathemat-
icap chance. We still have very
good chance of winning this east
division title. This thing is far from
in the bag for Eastern or any other
school,"
Coach ROLAND Lund of Anacostia
High School speaking and making
1t pointed that his Indians still are
very much in the high school foot
ball championship race. Western
has won the west division crown,
but over in the east there still will
be plenty of Scrapping among Ana
costa, Eastern and Tech before the
thing is decided.
AS it stands now, Eastern is on
top with two victories, Anacostia is
next with one win and one defeat
while Tech comes along with Just a
tie. They seem to be getting around
to this title business a bit later than
the boys out west.
Pointed for Eastern.
1t could be decided this week If
Eastern beats Anacostia and West
ern helps things along by taking
Tech to the cleaners, but to have
it work out that simply is expecting
too much.
For one thing, Anacostia plans to
be no soft touch for the favored
Fasteners. MY boys are not worried
about Eastern" says Lund.
It told you before the season that
the game worrying us was Western,
and you know what happened.
Western got an early break and
scored and our boys folded. They
beat us by some awful score, but
that won't happen against Eastern.
That's the game you want to see
this Friday. Maybe We'll have
surprise for you"
Last week the Indians were tied
by Dewitt, TT and they spent yes
terday in Scrimmage drills to iron
out weaknesses discovered in that
game. The line play was pretty
much okay, but Lund was dissatis-
fed with both backf1eld tackling and
downfeld blocking. Eastern has
been pretty well secuted and much
time this week will be devoted to
playing against EasternS Notre
Dame system.
NOlte Triple-Threat.
The Indians are pretty familiar
with that, having been up against
it in St. Johns and Dewitt games
to a modified extent. Neither team.
though, has the backfield shifting
and line blocking so precisely East
ern. Anacostia tied both games
against Notre Dame formations this
season and figures that with the
extra practice it will get this week
it should be able to stop Eastern.
Triple-threater Bob Nolte prob
ably will lead the Anacostia attack
against Eastern. His kicking against
Dewitt kept that team back in its
own territory most of the afternoon
and in return his running and
passing gave it tough time.
AS Jim OLeary, the Dewitt coach,
said afterward, that kid tossed
so many passes that at times I
thought they must be throwing
some of these balls from the bench.
He's a good little boy; I wish I
had some like him."
Anac0stia SOphs Strong.
Nolte Is a real source of salts
faction to Coach Lund. His passes
scored the only touchdowns in the
games with Dewitt and Western.
He scored three touchdoWns against
Wilson and passed for two more.
All that is particularly pleasing
because Nolte is a sophomore and
will be with the Indians for two
more years.
Edmund Hoffman and Frank
Burbach, two other star Anacos-
tia backs, also are only sopho-
mores. So should the Indians not
win the title this year they have
material for a good club next sea-
son and the one following.
But they aren't looking ahead
10 next season right now. There's
this game with Eastern coming up
Friday and after that Tech. Then
maybe it will be time to speak OF
next year.
