Those mighty Generals of Wash
ington-Lee High School proved to
be just too mucn for a game, but
outclassed Hagerstown High eleven
to cope with last Friday afternoon,
when the Arlington lads walked off
with 267 victory over the Hubs
on the Virginians' field. The win
ners held a decided weight advant-
age, about twenty pounds per man,
over the locals, and they made good
use of that advantage in driving
through a battered and beaten Ha-
gerstown forward wall again for
huge hunks of yardage. Another
big factor in their victory was ex-
cellent blocking and defensive play,
especially in keeping the Hub spark
plug, Tom Parks, effectively bottled
up for the better part of the time.
The Generals lost no time in get
ting started, scoring in the first per-
iod before five minutes had elapsed.
Taking possession of the bail on
their own 42-yard line, they prompt
ly started a drive that carried them
to pay-dirt in five plays, Holsinger
set up the score when he galloped
SO yards to the Hub 18-yard marker,
the first time the Virginians' got
their hands on the ball. Four plays
later Hayes crashed through tackle
from the 2 for the first score Of the
game. Lewis rammed his way
through center to make good the
extra point and give the Generals a
TO lead.
Midway in the second period Hen
ry faded back to his own 40-yard
line and tipped a beautiful bullet
pass to Reymer, who shared the ball
on the Hagerstown As and gallopad
behind excellent blocking to the 25.
Holsinger carried it around left end
to the %; Hayes through center to
the II. Then another pass, Henry
to McGill advanced the ball to the
Hub 2-yard stripe, from where
Lewis went over on a line plunge.
McCurrer's attempted place-kick
was blocked. Westinghouse, 10;
,Hagerstown, O.
The Hubs threatened just before
the half ended, when Deany McNa
NEE tossed a 28-yard pass to Joe
Stubits on the Westinghouse ~.
After two attempts at rushing had
failed, McNamee again faded back
and sent the pigskin sailing down
the field into the waiting arms of
Bob Herr, who was brought down
on the WI 10. Bice put stop to
the rally at this point, however,
when he intercepted another Nc
Nance pass on the WI Is, a few
minutes before the gun went off
ending the half.
Lewis turned in one of the most
spectacular runs of the game when
he took Funk's opening kick in the
second half and raced up the side
lines from his own 20-yard line to
the Hub 10. On the next play, Hol-
singer took the ball on a reverse
around left end to tally touchdown
No. for the Generals and give them
a 1910 lead McMurrer's attempted
conversion failed.
After showing signs of going some
place with drive that carried them
to the opponents 33-yard marker,
the Hub attack again fizzled and
the Generals took possession of the
pigskin and drove to the Hub goal
line for their final score. Reymer
made a sensational diving catch of
Henry's pass to put the ball on the
Marylanders' AT. After the Gener-
ais had lost the benefits of Fields
50-yard, broken field run by being
penalized for holding, Henry chuck
ed pass to Field who was hit on
the q. Only three more plays Gall
of them utilizing the sheer driving
power of the WI backs) were need
ed for the Generals to rack up score
No. 4. Curry carried it through CEN
ter to the Is; Field to the 3, and
then Curry crashed through center
standing up for the score. McGill
shared pass in the end zone to &C
count for the extra point and give
the Southerners' a 26-point advant-
age
