Central Stars Gather at Lambs Fraternity Fete
Gen. Grant Speak, Newly Expects Great 5o Anniversary Reunion

Newly. "They were called on by
the late Emory M. 'Ep' Wilson,
then principal Of the school, to
do such chores as ringing the
bell to signal the change of
classes. That was quite an honor
those days when they had no
electric buzzers."
Newly dug into his briefcase
and came up with another sheaf
of information.
"A list of our members since
Mu Chapter was founded, and
don't forget, Maj. Gen. U. S.
Grant, Sd. will be the principal
speaker. He was supposed to ad-
dress our 25th anniversary BAN
quet, but official business forced
him to beg off at the last minute.
so you really might say he's
keeping a 25-year-old date"
We were glancing over the
material excavated from Newby's
catch-all and truly were sur
prised by the names listed.
You remember Billy Wood
ward, don't your" asked Burt
Hawkins, a Central alumnus and
manager of one of the greatest
basket ball teams Bert Coggins
ever turned out. Billy was a
good basket ball player. That
goes for Wilbur and Chester
Cross. And you know Bill
Bryant-played three sports at
Maryland. Emmett Buscher was
a good javelin thrower and Bob
st. John was an outstanding
trackman. w. w. Taylor-that.s
Warren Taylor, swimmer, and
Paul Whedon was an end in
football"
The list was long-too long to
be reprinted in entirety, although
you couldn't overlook. "Ty"
Rauber, who played football at
Central and later returned as
coach. DR.. Nicholas Pistolas was
one Of the schools great grid
guards, but no better than Larry
Pinckney, a fullback at Central
who played guard for Lou Little's
Columbia Rose Bowl team. Steve
Porter was a swimming ace and
his brother Jimmy was . good
trackman. And what about
Turkey" Norris, Bob Acorn and
other members of the old guard?
The list Is too long to reprint,
as we said, but they'll all be at
the Press Club tonight at 7:30,
telling tall stories and getting

.Kount Vernon Closes
With Rout Of Fairfax

A 26-0 victory over Fairfax High
to cap an eight-game winning
streak gives Mount Vernon High
the Fairfax County high school
grid championship. The Mounts
won yesterday at Fairfax to put a
successful finish on a season that
started out with two defeats.
They set a one-touchdown- per-
period pace yesterday, with Charley
Thomas the star. He passed for
two touchdowns and scored one
himself. His 65-yarder to Page
Thompson accounted for the first
period marker, with Ray Everitt' S
short plunge getting the second
lperiod score.

Skins Stress Running, but Air
Power Will Tell in Beur Game

|put the Bears out of the title race
by winning and, If they can't win
the Eastern title themselves, nothing
would please them better than to
kayo the Bears.
The Tribes strategy this week has
been aimed at putting more dyna-
mite in its running attack, which
means Dick Todd, Bob Nussbaumer
and EDDIE Saenz will be busy over
the week end. It also means that
such stout gents as Fred Boensch,
John Steber and the linemen who
are supposed to block for the ball
carriers will have to get of their
heels and hustle.
Youel and Baugh, Of course, will
fire the heavy artillery. Team sta
tistics show the Bears. who have
piled up 1885 yards rushing to 1888
for the Redskins, have more bruis-
ing ground game. In the air it has
been different. Baugh, with Tom
lending an assist. has amassed 2,073
yards to 1921 for the Bears prize
battery of Sid Luckman, Johnny Lu-
jack and Bobby Layne. Therefore,
it is only logical to presume that
Washington must rely on air power
to win.
With the season nearing its end
and Edwards beginning to figure on
plans for 1949, some of the Tribes
men will be playing for jobs in the
last three games and that might
make a difference. Edwards still
can't figure out what happened to
the fire and birthstone the team dis
played near the end of the first half
at Philadelphia last week when 1t
looked as though 1t would come back
and possibly win the game even after
spotting the foe three touchdowns.
A reshuf1e Is in the cards and only
the men who can stand up and play
good football the full 60 minutes will
be around next autumn.
The Redskins may not have Dan
Sandifer or Dick Poillon for offen-
sive duty against the Bears tomor-
row. Sandifer slipped on the steps
and strained his knee and Poillon's
knee, bruised last Sunday, has not
responded as well as club officials
hoped. Coach Turk Edwards hoped
both would be able to play Sunday.
but thought Poillon at least would
be able to do the punting.-L. F. A.

A 3-yard pass from Quarterback
Chuck Ross to End Hillary Thomp-
son, eliminating a 71-yard march
swung the pendulum Howard's way
The Bisons. outweighed and out
fought in the line, concentrated
their attack in the air and jumped
to the lead early in the second
stanza when Ross, who shared ir
all the Bison touchdowns, struck
end Nip McClain with a 28-yaro
bullet in the Lion end zone.
Lincoln Comes Back to Tie.
Lincoln fought back and within
three minutes knotted the game al
6-all, sending Jolting Joe Harri:
crashing over from the 1-yard line
Three plays later the Lions agair
moved into scoring position as jim
Cooke crashed through to block anc
recover Alex Parker's attempted
punt on the Howard IA. The visi.
tors forged ahead as George Har.
mon went over from the 1-yare
marker.
Howard took the. following kicl
and marched n yards to score. The
payoff play was a pass from Ros!
to Chris Robertson that carried 81
yards. Thompson, on the dead run
made a sensational catch of Ross

There were plenty Of small fish,
but as we were after the big fellows,
we passed these schools by and con-
centrated on deep trolling below the
Gooses. We do not know how many
boats were out that day, but there
We're plenty of them, and with the
exception of one, none Of them had
fish. Yet we found later that anglers
who had tapped this spot at day
break, caught fish aplenty.
With from 2 to lines out per
boat, humping an assortment OF
sinkers and lures along the bottom
lit doesn't take much stretch of the
Imagination to figure out how the
fish must feel with Is to 20 boats
cruising around overhead and all
this resulting commotion at different
depths. We have come to the
opinion that the rockfish, who are
scary by nature except when berserk
in a school of bait fish on top, just
naturally decamp from those parts
And who can blame them? So II
you cannot make it during the week
when so many boats are not present
hit the grounds before aaybreak il
possible on week ends. We believe
it will pay dividends. Most Of the
boats appear well after z am.
The first of Maryland's split wild
waterfowl seasons, which ended last
Tuesday, proved boon to the water
fowl. Bluebird weather, which pre-
vailed during the entire period, not
only kept a lot Of the ducks farther
north, but permitted those present
| in familiar haunts to sit it out all
day in peace and quiet right in the
middle of the big water. Although
many duck hunters achieved their
limit of four daily, the percentage
over all of these fortunate ones was
indeed small. We believe the pres
ent rest period until December 28
not only will see many more ducks
appearing, but also will make hunt
ing more profitable from the bag
standpoint than during the first
period.
The deer season in the George
Washington National Forest, which
closed on November %, apparently
was a most successful one. The
hunting, according to one Of our
friends, was orderly and sportsman
like. There were wardens aplenty
on hand to check the hunters. among
whom were an exceptionally high
percentage of District Of Columbia
men. Our friend complimented the
wardens most highly. stating that
Virginia was to be congratulated on
the high type of young men acting
in this capacity. The deer take was
about as expected, though relatively
few wild turkeys and grouse were
bagged.
West Virginia's deer season opens
on November 20, running to Decem-
ber 4 inclusive. Maryland's deel
season commences December 6, ex-
tending through the 11th. With
certain exceptions, Virginia's season
continues on through January 5.

defensive back at Maryland were
Lambs. We had seen both in

fraternal about the way they
handled their opponents.
"And don't forget. Central has
the high school football cham
pionship back again. Thatll
bring back memories for the old
guard tonight because Lambs
have been outstanding in Gen.
tral athletics ever since sports
were introduced at the school.
"We've had 80 football cap
tains, 20 track captains. II bas-
ket ball and 18 baseball" said
Newly, referring to memoran-
dunn. "And IA Lambs have been

Four of those football captains
were the Macdonald brothers,
Mike, Ike, Jake and the late Cy,
