Paced by the double-figured
Scoring of four men, the Rockville
Stars last Saturday night swamp
cd the league leading Fairchild
Packets of Hagerstown. This was
the best exhibition of ball handling
and shooting that the local boys
have put on this year, and it GER
tainly could not have come at a
more oTDortune time.
Sunday afternoon found the boys
little bit tired from Saturday
night and they almost dropped one
to the Martinsburg Legionaires as
they came from behind in the last
four minutes to cop 1910
triumph in the West Virginia town
The Martinsburg team did look
much better on their home floor
and especially Paul Flicx's per-
Torrance was much improved over
his showing in Rockville the week
previous. Until Flick fouled out
late in the game, the local boys
were having their troubles off
both backboards.
That game Saturday night was
the one that Rockville was really
cunning for and they had their
sights set exactly right, although
the first half found them with only
nine point lead Web Webster led
the barrage in the third quarter
which really put the skids on the
Washington County boys. His IL
points in that frame, tossed in
from every angle, would have
taken the starch out of most any
team and the Packets were GER
tainly no exception.
Web not only tossed in 25 points
to lead both squads in scoring, but
also showed his best blackboard
work of the season although ably
assisted on both boards by Moul-
den, Klippstein and Giauque. The
Stars offense was well-rounded
despite Webster's % point total
as Giauque, ,Klippstein and Baker

Sasketeers Plan A Busy
Weekend Here And Abroad

came up with 10, 16 and IL points,
respectively.
In the game at Martinsburg, the
most heartening item to the play
ers and fans was the way Moose
Wootton worked off the back
boards and also the 8 points he
tossed in. With Moose rounding
into shape, it LOOKS like bad news
for the Stars opponents from here
on as Webster and Wootton should
go together very good under both
baskets.
The Starlets played about ten
minutes of very good basketball
Saturday night but it was not
quite enough as they had spotted
the Fairchild Cargoettes a ten
point lead and wound up on the
short end of a 1928 score. Shorty
Diehl led the scoring for both
teams with IL points while Peggy
Wine of the visitors and Joan
Evans of the Starlets were close
behind with 10 each.
1t was John Evans and Mary
Jane Koiner leading the Starlets
to a one-sided 1924 victory over
the Martinsburg Legionettes on
the losers floor. The girls had lost
to this same team the previous
weekend and were really out for
blood in this one.
Another big game is on tap at
the Rockville gym this Saturday
night as the Stars will tangle with
one of the best teams in the Wash
ington area in the Thrifty Bever-
age team. The girls will play a
preliminary with some opponent to
be named later.
On Sunday the Stars play a
return game with the Cabineers
on the Armory floor in Hagers-
town. Next Wednesday will find
them playing a return game in
Gaithersburg against the boys
team of that town.
