Milford Citizens

After the subscriber leaves the
hospital, the bill for those services
is sent directly to Group Hospital
Service, which then pays the bill.
"The Blue Cross Identification
card thus becomes your ticket of
admission to the hospital" says
Harry Pierce, president of the Mil
ford Chamber of Commerce, spOn-
sors of the local community group.
"A Blue Cross member has no wOr-
ry about ready cash when an emer-
gency arises.
''It was to help make hospital
and surgical care easier to get in
time of need that the hospitals or
ganized the Blue Cross. Every eff
fort is made to serve this purpose. "
Blue Cross surgical protection,
offered through Group Hospital
Service, operates in similar man
ner. Group Hospital Service was
established by Delaware's doctors
and also is a non-profit Organiza-
ton. 1t makes payment directly to
the doctor.

their lineup completed today

post-season college football shows

At the same time two efforts to

Phoenix, Ariz.; the Little Rose

Rose at Tyler, Tex.
Texas Tech accepted an invi-

Wilson and Gonzaga
Players Are Pals
Except Saturday
By Bill Fuchs

Officials assigned to the second
annual District public high Cath
olic football classic between Wilson
and Gonzaga at Griffith Stadium
Saturday will be mighty glad to
know they have, comparatively
easy day in store for them. Players
from both teams have been chum-
my all season.
This will be one of the cleanest
games ever played" says Wilson
Coach Joe Carlo. These boys all
know each other and run around
together"
That's right" agrees Leo
Speros, Carlos passing star.
"We've been spending most OF our
Saturdays over at the Haley house
watching television. The Haleys
have little basket ball court in
the back of the house and we go
over there quite often to play"
This friendship stems from the
fact that there is a Haley on each
team-Billy, Gonzaga's star run
ner and passer, and Pete. Wilson's
talented end. A third brother
plays end for Georgetown Prep.
Hopes Duane Can Play.
Both schools, meanwhile, con-
tinued to go through their PAGES
in preparation for the big game.
proceeds of which will help Cath
Ollie and District public highs to
buy needed athletic equipment.
Coach Joe Kozik of Gonzaga is
hoping Quarterback Frank Duane
will be in condition to play.
Duane missed the st. Johns game
last Sunday.
"a car door slammed against
his foot" says Kozik. 1T was i'm
possible for him to run. think
he'll be all right for the Wilson
game. At least, I hope so. He's
good blocker and he's smart"
Three Tigers Ailing.
Carlo, meanwhile. has three
stars on the injured list. Carl
Prigg was injured in last weeks
title game against Tech. Leo Brin-
son is still limping and Tackle
Don Meanie is nursing a broken
nose.
Carlo took in the Gonzaga-St.
Johns game and was impressed
with the job Gonzaga did against
the Johnnie line.
"St. Johns has a terrific line"
he says. II was surprised Con-
zaga did so well against it. I also
liked Haley's passing and those
two ends-Mike Nolan and Tom
Welch."
Kozik doesn't bother to hide
his respect for Carlos squad. And
with players from both teams
acting chummy all year, there
may be a tendency to give away
touchdowns. Oh yeah?
