Maroons 10 Have Ace
In Gilmore in AZ,
Coaches Believe
Back Shows Rure Worth
In Central Gome;; Bondy
Of Saints Top Scorer
BY GEORGE HUBER.


It's all over now and Tech has
nothing to do but lick its wounds
after losing to Central in the an
nual clash between the Districts
high school football rivals, but one
measure of consolation remaining
for the Maroons is that young Jim
fReds> Gilmore is a mighty potent
package. This was only his second
game. too. He played 10 minutes
against Roosevelt q week ago and
80 minutes against Central on Mon
day.
In the third semester now, Reds
gives promise of outShlnlng in time
his brother Jack, former all-high
player at Tech and now a Maryland
end. That's one good thing We
can say now, anyway" is the way
Co-coach Dutch Usilaner of Tech
puts 1t, well have Gilmore for two
years. He'll be the best player in
town next year.
Although he weighs only 140
pounds Reds has the knack of pick
ing holes and dodging tacklers until
It almost is funny the way he slips
through. Being inexperienced. that's
all he can do now-run. But when
he learns to mix it up with passes.
spinners and kicks he'll be a real
prize package. All that can be
taught him, and Dutch says he's
going to give the boy a football this
summer so he can live with it and
learn all the tricks a good backfleld
man should have.
Tech to Test Juniors.
Tech really is building for next
year right now. The seniors will be
benched and the youngsters who
return in 1912 are getting starting
positions against Eastern this Sat-
urday and against York on Novem-
ber IS. Ed Naughten at Tech has
rather good Junior eleven from
WHICH Dutch and Co-coach Artia
Wondrak are going to draw heavily
for the remaining games.
Several other big annual games
are coming up within the next week.
On Friday, Landon and St. Adams
meet at St. Adams in what might
very we'll decide the Interstate Aca-
demic Conference title, now held by
the Saints. Each has lost one con-
ference game. Landon dropping one
only last week to Boys Latin, rs,
for its first defeat of the season. In
fact. it was the first score made
against it.
A stalwart line there deserves
much of the credit for Landon's
success, but its backs-Cady. john
son, Brawner. Amussen and Dev-
ereauX-also have been potent in
running up total of 81 points to
the mere registered by opponents.
The Saints, too. can counter with
q crew of backfield aces, not the
least of which is Bob Bondy. who
alone has registered 81 points,
greatest individual total owned by
q District schoolbov so far this sea-
son. He was out of competition last
week when the Saints topped ST
Andrews, but still managed to main
tain his edge.
Raba Is Star PaSser.
Earl Elliott of St. Adams hasn't
scored a point for himself. but he
has been valuable nevertheless with
his passing and he has tossed no
less than seven for touchdoUns as
well as numerous others for long
gains. being topped in this depart
ment only by Gonzaga's Elmer Raba,
who has eight touchdown heaves
to his credit.
That a good back doesn't neces-
sarily score all the touchdoWns is
proven by the case of Raba. He has
tailed only two of them in eight
games. but that he is the Eagles
prize back is unquestioned His
kicking, passing and defense work
is among the best in Washington and
he promises TO be big cog in Con-
zaga's attack on Sunday when it
meets St. Johns, its traditional
rival, at Griffith Stadium.
Other Gonzaga boys who promise
~ be much in evidence Sunday are
Bonnie Waldron. Reds Murphy,
Bernie Mckay and Bernie Nolan.
