as he did. He made the varsity last
year as sophomore and this season
he's twice as good. You've seen him
play, you should know how much
he's improved"
He is better than last year, but if
he continues to get better he'll be in
class all by himself by the end of
the season. An all-Southern Con-
ference choice last winter, George is
all-America timber if there ever
was such an animal.
Has All Needed Assets.
Dewitt has everything. His scor-
ing eve is as deadly as q shot OF
strychnine. He can set up plays and
finish them. He'd just as soon pass
the ball to a teammate as take q
shot himself, although he. never
hesitates to let it fly when the Terps
need points. Ungainly when he first
reported for the freshman quint, he
really is a symphony of smoothness
in action. No wasted motions and
nothing awkward.
Is he cool? Listen, he's so cool he
wouldn't even give his best girl a
warm look. The boy positively chills
the enemy. He never seems to get
unnerved or excited but merely takes
things in stride-and it's big stride
he has.
He chalked up 227 points in the
regular schedule last season, and
any time he wants to cut loose and
be hungry" SHOEMAKER he can at
least come close to that figure. If
you doubt us just ask Rhode Island
State, Clemson, Duke, Georgetown
or any Of the other teams Maryland
has played.

Leading Trainer as
Baker Resigns
Roy, Going Into Movie
Job, Always Kept D. c.
Team in Fine Trim

A more calamitous blow than
would be the failure to sign their
most promising draftee was that
dealt the Redskins today by the
announcement that Assistant Coach
and Trainer Roy Baker had quit
them for a year-around job IN the
movies.
There is little doubt that Turk
Edwards, resigned as player-coach
will make valuable mentor, but
where the Redskins can dig up an
other trainer of Bakers ilk is some
thing else again.
For four years now, the Redskins
probably have been the best con-
ditioned club in pro football and
credited with that healthful situa-
kion has been none other than Baker.
To him was entrusted entirely the
physical welfare of the squad and
that he annually produced men able
to stand the rigors of the National
Football League campaign a mite
better than their rivals is tribute
enough.
Coach Ray Flaherty never failed
to credit Baker as one he could
scarcely do without. His setting-up
exercises, which began each Redskin
practice, soon were copied by other
league teams which previously had
rarely deigned to bother" with
them. AS line coach. he produced
two lines-including four rockies
that gave the Redskins the best de-
fensive record in the league last
year.

Roosevelt Quint
Fights 10 Hold
Series Lead
Eastern Strong Foe
Tonight; Central
Plays Anocostio
BY ROBERT HENRY.

Roosevelt High School will BIZ
out to reverse history at Tech
gym tonight when its basket ball
team hooks up with Eastern in
the 8:45 nightcap of a double
header. The first game, between
Central and Anacostia, is set for
7:30.
Last year Roosevelt won its first
two interhigh games and then ran
into Eastern, which won a close
game. This year Roosevelt again
has its first two contests safely un-
der its belt, and in order to stay
on top in the public high title Sc
ries it must win tonight. A loss
will put it in a tie with Eastern,
below Western and Woodrow Will
son, both of whom have won their
only starts.
Roosevelt Seems Stronger.
Roosevelt, according to the dope,
has a slightly better team than
last year. In George West, Hymie
Perlo and Ernie Travis it has a trio
that can match any young group
in town. West is leading the inter-
high scorers with 81 points.
The game also will be especially
important to Eastern, defending
champions, which lost its first inter-.
high game in three years few
days ago to Central. Tonight S
engagement will determine whether
that loss was a fuke or really In
dicative of Eastern's present
strengthen weakness.
The opening game should be a
tough scrap between Anacostia,
which will be seeking its first inter-
high victory after two losses, and
Central, the surprise package of the
series.
