BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

1t was sure good to hear that the
Owls have completed working
agreement with the Washington
Senators. (See story elsewhere on
this page.)
Bowling
Last week the men of Pangborn
Day Mems Bowling League challeng-
ed the Pangborn Girls League to
special match and magnanimously
agreed to allow six girls to bowl
against the team of five men.
The match was duly held at Ran
ey's Coliseum, and not only did the
girls team win by no less than 200
pins. but as it actually turned out,
they would have beaten the men by
five pins if only five of the girls had
rolled instead of six. But that's not
the whole story. In addition to win
ming the match, Ruth Dunn turned
round and bowled the high game
of the afternoon (154), while the
best the men could do was Ned
Hoover's score of 1875.
Last week 1 heard a Professor of
Mental Hygiene state that when
men went in for sports, they used
them to express their feelings, and
he pointed out that when a man
slashed into a golf ball he was prob
ably mad at something or somebody
and was taking it out on the golf ball,
and the same applied when base
ball player slammed a home run
he was probably mad that he had
struck out in a previous inning.
Well, if this is true, all I can say
is that the girls of the Pangborn
League must have been lot mad
der than the men were. Maybe they
were insulted at the idea of being
allowed to bowl six against five.
Football
Up to last Friday night l had at
tended all the home games of the
Hagerstown Hubs, but unfortunately
had already promised to attend an
other meeting in Boonsboro that
night, and it was just impossible for
me to attend the game. However,
on the way back in my car l did
hear the last quarter, and from the
announcer's description of the game,
it would appear that the Hubs,
though beaten, were still doing
what they have done in every game
since the season opened-simply
playing their hearts out
The boys game with Montgomery
High School is being played this af-
ternoon at Silver Spring instead of
tomorrow night as originally sched-
uled, and l hope the youngsters
can make this the second win of their
season. Then, of course, they will
only have one other game to play
their traditional Thanksgiving game
with Waynesboro High.

The college games on Saturday
ran according to form with the eX-
ception of the Wake Forest, N. Car,
game which ended in TT tie and
knocked the North Carolina eleven
out of the unbeaten, united ranks.
That tremendous upset, however,
will in my book make the North
Carolina boys lot tougher for Mary
land on Saturday, as they will come
back fighting mad at having their
record married by the tie However,
still pick Maryland to win.
In the professional ranks on Sun
day, the Baltimore Colts were knock
ed out of their tie for first place, and
it seems to me that they're going to
have a hard time getting back on
top again. In fact, I wouldn't be
surprised if the New York team in
the American Conference wound
up winning the eastern division.
In the national league, the Red
skins beat Boston for the second
straight week to keep them in second
place, but they don't look to have
any chance of overtaking the Phil
adelphia Eagles, who are just about
a cinch to win in the eastern di-
vision
