Georgetown will be favored over
Aberdeen, of course, but the Army

Flaherty doesn't think so. He doesn't

Blazers Have Quartet
OF Veterans, Other
Capable Material
Borons Provide Fehrmun,
New Mentor, With Poir
Of Leftover Sturs
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Montgomery Blair's basket ball
team, which has been something of
soft touch for the last two years,
figures to be so much better this;
season that those schools which
scheduled it as an aid to the won
and lost record may be due for some
unpleasant surprises.
Coach Ores Bride isn't promising
the Blazers will be world beaters, but
he confldentially expects them to do
more winning than usual. The rea :
son, OF course, is experienced players.
-Four of his first five from last
year are back and the probably
starting lineup for tonight's contest
against Briarley includes Jack Clark
and Jim Davis. forwards, both of
whom have two years experience; :;
Bill McDaniels center, and Johnny
OConnor. guard, both veterans of
last years quint, and Bill Maxwell
an eagle-eyed transfer player from
Massachusetts,. Clark and O'Connor
also are better than average shooters
Reserves Also Experienced.
The reserves also are experienced
men. Bruce Ross, Tony Lascola and
Dave Wells all were on the squad
last year, and Nick Nixon moves up
from the junior team. He's a 6-foot
4-lnch pivot man who will see plenty
of work Among the others figured
on for frequent action is Bert Berg
man, lad who came here from
South Bend. Ind.
The Blazers are shifting back to
the zone defense sported by most
Maryland teams after a year of ex-
perimenting with man for man. The
fast break, of course, goes with this.
Any consideration of Blair as a
suburban power also must take into
account the team at Bethesda
Chevy Chase High. These two an
nually have little feud of their
own for nearby Maryland honors,
with the Barons having won most
of the recent tits. This rivalry will
be hot, as usual, this season with
Bethesda again presenting a team
on par with last years.
Inherits two Aces.
Ray Fehrman, who succeeded Al
Voet as coach there, has among his
ace players two big guns from the
team that last year represented this
section in the Duke Durham tourna-
ment, Bob Brewer and Haven Ret
tew. Brewer is even huskier and
more talented than he was last year
and showed himself already in peak
form by the six baskets he shot from
various angles last week when the
Barons successfully opened against
National Training School. Among
the other experienced members of
the squad are Harry Phillips, Johnny
Slaughter and Henry Latimer.
A real test for Bethesda will be
this. afternoons struggle at Roose-
welt. This will be the first clash of
the season for the Rough Riders,
who again promise to be Better than
the average. Last year these two
put on one Of the hottest games of
the season in their opening encoun-
ter. Bethesda won, 1881, in an
overtime battle.
