ATC Squad Flies Here
Today With Workout
Scheduled al T.. u.

Air Transport Command Rockets,
flying here from their Nashville,
Tenn, base, were to workout at
Catholic University Stadium this
afternoon in preparation for Sun
days duel with the Cherry Point
Marines at Griffith Stadium. The
Marines will arrive tomorrow when
both squads will go through final
tuneup session.
Advance reports indicate Coach
Eddie Davidson of the Rockets will
have an edge on defense in the line,
but both teams are expected to de-
pend heavily on their aerial attacks
for touchdowns.
Civilian tickets went on sale at
The Willard, Raleigh and Annapolis
Hotels today, and also can be OBJ
tained at the ball park. Only 5000
are available to non-service fans.
Remaining seats have been set aside

1erps Have Twin Aim
In Mounfaineer Tilt

Maryland's football squad is on
its way by bus to Morgantown,
w. Va, where tomorrow it hopes to
gain the first victory the Old Liners
ever have scored over the Noun
taineers. on the gridiron.
With the team In good shape for
the first time in weeks, MARYLAND
also aims to atone at the same time
for the unexpected licking at the
hands of Virginia Tech last week.
1t will be only the fourth game
between the College Park and
Morgantown football aggregations.
Back in 1919, when it was M. A. c..
Maryland took a 27-0 beating and
then waited until it was u. of M.
to resume relations. This was in
l943 when the Mountaineers won
at Morgantown, 60. Last years tilt
at College Park ended 6-all.
The Old Liners will stop at some
spot this afternoon to take a work
out and then proceed to Morgan
town to do their sleeping.

ST. Adams only loss this year
was to Dewitt, wnen George Gould's
powerful aggregation came out on
top. 1916, and the Saints opened the
season by Whipping Friends, 38-13
Coach Al Wagner is optimistic about
the remainder of the schedule. St.
Adams was the favorite against
Charlotte Hall here this afternoon
and should wallop Georgetown Prep
next week. After that, st. Albans
faces st. Andrews, Landon and st.
James, and Coach Wagner sees no
reason why the Saints can't go
through the list undefeated.
Bethesda bounced back from the
st. Adams licking to smack down
Jefferson High of Falls Church. 1870,
on the Bethesda grid yesterday.
Highlight of the clash came in
the final quarter when Bethesda s
Billy Briggs shared an enemy pass
and dashed 80 yards to score. Glen
Ferguson marked up the Barons'
first tally in the opening period
when he bucked over from the 10
after six plays from midfeld. A
third period safety scored by Be-
thesda accounted for two more
points.
Another round in the interhigh
championships was scheduled for
today, with Coolidge the favorite at

visiting Roosevelt eleven and Wilson

By BOB MCLEAN.

The week end means more than a
football game to Ralph Williams,
captain of the ST. Adams football
team and one of the eleven's star
halfbacks.
End of each school week means
that the versatile 17-year-old Will
liams, who is top-honor student
at st. Adams, can pack up his
brushes and paints and take off on
sketching and painting trip. The
youngster, who does equally well
with oil and water colors, already
has won local recognition as an
artist and plans an art career.
Art, however, doesn't interfere
with Williams football. A hard
driving back who does most of the
Saints blocking and seldom hits
the sports headlines, Ralph lets the
other fellow make the teams long
touchdown runs and concentrates
on his job as skipper.
And ST. Adams has an excellent
galloper to provide the touchdown
punch in Bob Smith, brother of the
famous Cotton Smith, who starred
in all sports for the Saints. Against
Bethesda last week, Smith reeled
off three long runs for touchdowns
as ST. Albans marched to a 27-13
win, its second of the season.
Behind Smiths star performance,
however, was the great teamwork
the Saints are displaying this year,

wood and Williams, who make up

what happened to Ohio State last

can happen.

From a survey made in the

that not only are local sportsmen
going to experience an early sea-
son, but that the duck and goose
shooting will be far better this
season than for some years past.
Tom Main, genial manager OF
Ducks Unlimited in Winnipeg,
Canada, has predicted that "We

spite of an unfavorable nesting

While the redhead crop was al
most completely destroyed in two
of the largest marsh areas in
which this species nests, condi-

vorable for the canvasbacks and
there has been a very satisfac-

which is most favored by Eastern
gunners. The drought conditions
which existed in Southern Sas-
katchewan and Alberta may we'll
prove boon to local gunners, in
that it will probably divert mi

Filchock and Moore, and in pinch
they can fall back on their alpha

in the above combinations.
Surprisingly Doolan, former

Sal Rosato is nursing a game leg
