Tech, Coolidge Battle
Pits Strong Attacking
And Defensive Units
By George Huber

When Tech and Coolidge tangle
tomorrow night at Griffith Stadium
for the District public high school
football championship 1t will be a
test between the loops highest
scoring and best defensive eleyens.
The Maroons ran up q total of SO
points in their seven series games
while the Colts held opponents
to 20.
When they met a month ago dur
ing regular season play Tech was
the winner, l4-6. Only Anacostia
which worked to 6-6 tie against
Coolidge managed to score on the
Colts. Tech likewise had good
defensive record, permitting 81
points, while Coolidge also did
plenty Of point getting with q 81
total
Earlier Meeting Indicative.
How closely matched they are is
seen by recalling their earlier meet-
ing. One of Techs scores was on q
24-yard pass to end a 85-yard march
mostly through the air, and the
other was on Paul Ponletto's a.
yard dash down the middle. On
one other occasion Tech was stopped
on coolidge's 1l-yard line.
Coolidge made its only mark In
that game by driving downfield for
80 yards on a combination air and
ground attack. Another Coolidge
bid ended with pass interception
in Techs end zone. Tech made
seven first downs to Coolidge's eight.
Lineups for tomorrow nights pay
of engagement will be just about
the same as they were In that ear
lier game on November 2. Principal
change is that End Bob Brooks. who
caught the pass for one of those
Tech touchdowns. was substitute
then but a starter now. Bob was
regular last year, but an early
season injury kept him sidelined
this year and, until he played
against Coolidge. he had seen little
action. He's been a regular since,
however.
Another Tech player who cinched
his starting berth in that previous
game was Tackle Milt Bernstein.
He replaced injured Bimbo Har-
|rington then and he also did SO well
he's been starter since.
Low Scoring Game Seen.
Indications are that tomorrow
nights game will be low-scoring
contest despite the totals the two
have run up over the season. Rea-
son for that Is that both elevens
have particularly strong lines. Out
standing in Techs wall are Guard
Albie Thompson. Center Bob Bell
and End Jim McCauley. Coolidge'S
forward stalwarts are Tackles War
rem Maxim and Chuck Ackermar1,
Guard Cliff Browne and Ends Dick
Taylor and Bill Moulden. Browne
earlier this season was on the in
sjured list. but he's whole again.
A crowd of $4,000 or better is in
prospect for this big game, not only
because it viii be a good one be-
tween the Districts two best public
high eleveIls. but because all pro-
ceeds go to Childrer's Hospital.
