Basketball

The Hagerstown High School
Varsity team got off to flying
start on Tuesday night, when it
opened the basketball season with
an easy victory over Middletown
High School, at the Potomac Avenue
gym. The final score was 81 to 18.
The Gaels of st. Mary's High
School, after winning their opening
game of the season against St.
Marks at the Armory on December
8, took on the Hancock High School
Five at Hancock on December IL,
but this time they found the going
little too tough. Playing on fairly
even terms in the first half, the St.
Mary's boys were unable to cope
with the more experienced Han
cock Five in the second half and
finally wound up with the score
as to 20 against them.
But they'll come right back fight
ing in their next game, which hap
pens to be against North Street on

Football

Congratulations to Buck Early,
Dick Harnish and Elwood Hauver,
of the Hagerstown High School
team on making the first team of
the Maryland All-County football
team, selected by sports writers and
other officials from all over the
state.
Congratulations also to Bill Fox
and Jack Bowman, who were named
on the second team, and to Tom
Young, who received honorable
mention.
I've never been able to get steam
ed up over professional football, for
the simple reason that it's too obv-
iously a "big money" proposition.
If those behind pro ball were sin
cere in wanting to give the fans real
competitive football-in the same
way that baseball does-why is the
National Football League treating
the American Football Conference
like poor relations? And just to
keep the record straight, why is the
American Conference going to ride
ulous lengths to out bid the National
League for players? Remember
there is no world series at stake as
in baseball, in fact no recognition of
either league by the other.
All of which leads up to the pres
ent season, which is nearing its end.
The Cleveland Browns have al
ready won the so-called American
Conference championship, and the
Chicago Cardinals are waiting to
play either the Pittsburg Steelers or
the Philadelphia Eagles (they play
off tie on Sunday. for the Nation
al League title. But when its all
over they'll still be arguing about
which is the best team, since the
champions of the two leagues don't
meet!
