Driving Back Gets 81
Points for Saints
In Two TussIes
Centrol's kurz Runnerup
At ToIIying With 80;
Week. End Bill Full
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Bob Bondy, f1ashy little halfback
at st. Adams, is giving other scho-
lastic players in this area a big
scoring mark at which to aim. In
two games played by the Saints
so far, Bob tailed five touchdowns
and two extra points to lead school,
boy gridders with 80 points.
Not particularly hefty, but with
plenty Of drive in his legs, most of
Bob's points have come on short
plunges, although he also is an ace
pass receiver and pulled in one toss
from Earl Elliott for a touchdown
against Boys Latin last Saturday.
Once he gets into the open he is
hard to catch. His total of 80, in
cidentally, is the sum of st. Adams
scoring so far.
Kurz Is Runnerup.
Pressing Bondy for individual
honors is CentralS Jim Kurz who
in every game is justifying Coach
Jan Jankowski's wisdom in trans
ferring him from end to the back
field. KurZ has scored five touch
downs for 80 points in three games.
He is big boy, hard to knock down
and frequently it takes several tack
lers to stop him once he begins to
move. 1t isn't speed as much as
sheer power that gives him his
punch. AS a kicker he also is one
OF the best in the city, needing only
a good passing arm to become a
real triple -threater. Lack of pass
ing ability, however, is more than
balanced by his sharp blocking.
Also up among the top scorers is
Devitt's George MCGOWAN, who in
four games has stepped across with
four touchdowns. This boy is ready
to move now and figures to do even
better as the season progresses. So
far he has been the big iron man OF
an iron man outfit-Devitt being
particularly Observation-Disclosures
slowed a bit by injuries. Other lead
ers with three touchdoWns to their
credit are Dick Faircloth of Ana
costa, Jim Sprinkle of Washington
Lee and Bill Mckay of Gonzaga.
Several educated toes are working
around schools Of this locality this
season. Lucian Burnett of Episco-
pal has booted five extra points,
while Central's Jack Samperton is
responsible for four. Two field goals
have been scored so far, one by
Techs Sonny Morrisette and the
other Gonzaga's Ray O'Brien.
Big Week for High Schools.
This coming week end is a heavy
one for District high school gridderS,
with three championship series con-
tests heading the list on Friday.
It still is too early for anything
real definite to be indicated, but one
of these gameS-Central at Ana
costia-just might be preview of f,
the championship plaE-oh. SCentrals |
Vikings, off their rec0rd of three,
successive victories, are regarded as-l
possible west division representa-
tives, while Anacostia, with the
same number of wins-especially I
Fridays victory over. Zach, last !
years east division. wirrer-has a
chance of coming through in its !
section.
OF course Eastern has yet to be |
heard from over there, but hasn't .
demonstrated too much power in
losing to Episcopal and John Mar
shall and then downing Roosevelt,
1910, last week. This has the prom
ise of another good game in the
offing, with Anacostia and Eastern .
clashing on october "a.
The season hardly has begun, yet
only six teams are on the unde-
feated list. Westinghouse, Gen.
trail, Episcopal and Anacostia have
three wins each; Landon has two
and Georgetown Prep one. The
IL other teams in this section have
been spilled anywhere from one to
three times.
