mighty Westminster Saturday at 2
o'clock on the local gridiron.

tional ability against Blair last
Friday, Westminster shook down a
12-point lead in victory, while on
the same day the Rockets goaled
32 points against a scoreless Hern-
don team.
Both squads, representing schools
in two county seats in this state,
are sure to give "the moneys
worth" and according to Coach
Smith, "The Rockets are going to
win." That proves the confidence
of a coach.

ing lineups, furnished through the
generous patronage of merchants
and citizens of Rockville and vicin-
ity, will be sold for activity pur-
poses.
