They would have told him that eight of the II starters for Army in the Cadets 21 to triumph will be back next year for another whack at the Middies, now beaten four straight years in the traditional service school clash.
 Elwyn Rip Rowan the 172- pound fullback who romped 92 yards for the second touchdown; Capt.

Harvey Lindsay, second string center, and Ray Drury, a guard, will also be lost.
 Nor had the youngster heard Hamilton answer reporters a few seconds before that he wasn't cer- tain he would be back at Navy next fall

Special Dispatch TO The Stor

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Feb. IT,
Use of script to pay some public
debts, a custom dating back to Co.
lonial times, soon may be discon-
tinued in st. Marys County.
Since the colony was established
in the 18th century, the county's bills
have been paid by cash or check
when funds were available. At other
times creditors have been given
IOUs or scrip.
In order to turn this scrip into
cash, creditors have been forced to
discount the paper at banks, or with
private concerns or individuals.
The st. Marys County Taxpayers
Association thinks it's time to do
away with scrip.
It has asked State Senator Paul J.
Bailey and Delegates Oliver R. Guy
ther and Joseph A .Mattingly to in
troduce legislation in the General
Assembly to bring the county's half
cash, half scrip" system into line
with modern accounting procedure" !"
Loan is Proposed.
One of the first steps would be to
authorize a 100000 loan to retire
outstanding scrip and leave suffi-
cient funds on hand to pay accounts
in cash when due.
Alton S. Jump, Baltimore certified
public accountant, who has audited
the county's books for the last Is
years, has informed the taxpayers
