Redskins Sign Demao
For Fourth Season

AL Demao, veteran Redskin center
and champion eater of the squad,
has signed for his fourth season
with the Washington eleven.
Demao and Coach Turk Edwards
came to terms yesterday after more
than a month of off -and-on salary
discussions. While the club policy
is against disclosing player salaries,
Demao is believed to have gotten
an increase over last years contract.
He has lucrative off season posi-
ton with a local wine distributor,
and for time was undecided about
continuing his football career.
Demao's signing, plus the return
of Clyde Ehrhardt. who sat out last
season because of a war injury,
relieves the Tribe of most of its
center worries. The two of them
should handle the pivot assignment
nicely, extensively and defensively.
Both are particularly strong on
defense and Demao had an i'm
portant line-backing role in all IL

Intersectional cup play will claim
District racketers' full attention for
the next two week ends. Wash
ington's Hotchkiss Cup team will go
to Norfolk this week to defend the
trophy against picked club teams
from Baltimore, Richmond and Nor
folk, while the District-dominated
Middle Atlantic team is slated to
go to Orange, N. j., next week for
the annual Church Cup matches.
Ricky Willis will serve as play
ing captain of the Hitchkiss squad
and will have with him Eddie Miller,
Doyle Royal, Alphonso Smith, Tom
Morehead and Ed Wesley, represent
ing Chevy Chase, Columbia and
Edgemoor Clubs. This team is ex-
pected to cope successfully with
anything clubs from the other three
cities have to offer and to keep the
cup in Washington, where is has
spent most of the last 20 years.
Though billed as intersectional
competition with New England,
Eastern and Middle States, it ap-
pears that this time the Middle
Atlantic team will be one entirely
from Washington. Barney Welsh,
who paced the team to its upset
victory last year in its first appear
ance in Church Cup play, again will
captain the group, which will in
clude Jim Thackara, winner of The
Stars City of Washington tourna-
ment; Capt. Robin Hippenstiel, DR..
Dave johnson, Don Leavens, Hugh
Lynch and Capt. Jim Farrin.

member again, but will be en- route
to Los Angeles to compete in the
National Intercollegiate.
Last year the Middle Atlantic team
upset the No. seeded team from the
Eastern Association, 5-4, in its debut,
and followed up with a 5h -to-31s
victory over New England to win
the 18th Church Cup matches.
Gil Bogley will invade Charlottes-
vile June % with hopes of annex
ing the National interscholastic title,
following in the footsteps of such
previous winners as Jack Kramer,
Bob Falkenburg, Herbie Flam and
Buddy Behrens. Gil lost in the final
last year to Behrens and was thus
ranked No. 2 on the interscholastic
ladder. With Buddy now studying
at Rollins College, Bogley undoubt-
edly will get the No. / spot in this
years tournament.
His toughest competition should
come from Tony Trabert, whom he
defeated in the quarterf1nals last
year. Jack Turpin of Dallas, Tex,
and Walt Dockerill, New Rochelle,
N. Y, also figure to be strong.
Bogley and Jack Yates, representing
Landon School in doubles, also
should improve on last years per-
formance, when they reached the
quarterhnals.
Stay-at-home District players
are awaiting the annual
District tournament for men and
women. Singles will be played at
Edgemoor beginning July 8. Mems,
