"One eighty-two pounds" Sam

which is one Of the greatest of all
human virtues.
"Where are you headed for,

Just a little ranch outside of
SWeetWater and a few head of
cattle. Gee. I'm glad to get back.
That home on the range looks good
to me"
I could understand then why the
old song, Home on the Range" /"
carried SO much appeal.
"Home, home on the range
Where no Bears or Cardinals play.
Where ones seldom socked or is
tackled or blocked,
Ard a spine can hold out for day"
Both Baugh and Todd got off at

Lew Jenkins lives. There must be

Sammy Baugh and Dick Todd of

one of the great kickers of all time,
nothing to do now until next

handle my 800-acre cattle ranch
and see those cattle get plenty TO

so much in Texas, but I hope to add
another 8O0-acre patch this winter
and give my cattle plenty to eat.

Roosevelt surpassed expectations in
beginning its title defense by sinking
rough Central team, 34-19, while
Eastern did the same to AnacoStia
on an even more convincing scale,
4l-l9. That's much better start
for the RamblerS than last years,

beginning and had to stage a spec
tacular last-ditch fight to get into
the playoffS.
Central Team Spirited.
Central had plenty of fight but
lacked flneSSe and was unable to ap-
proach the smooth-passing attack
and accurate set shooting of Roose-
welt. Hymie Perlo, Roosevelt's s cap
tain and the towns leading school,
boy eager, started his team toward
its victory with two accurate toSSes
from outside and thereafter led the
way for an er-increasing margin.
Frank Ciango and Tom Robertson
also took prominent parts in the
Rider victory march.
Centrel's only player with an idea
Of what it all was about was Sam Di
BlaSl. He was the only Viking to
score in the whole first half and
