lie Baron Is Standout
AS Quantico Marines
Crush Lejeune
By Brion Bell, Jr.

George Marshall, Redskins own
er, would be willing to trade play
ers, cash and maybe even a little
stock for Eddie lie Baron, star
quarterback at Quantico. But un-
fortunately the Marine Corps
won't make the deal and Wash
ington fans could only shake their
heads sadly as they watched the
smooth working LIE Baron pass.
run and kick his team to a 42-7
victory over the Camp Lejeune
Marine Base before $4,000 at
Quantico yesterday.
Little lie Baron threw two
touchdown passes, caught one for
score and had a 47-yard punting
average, but it was his clever ball
handling and, taking that made
the Quantico attack click. The
split-T specialist, who was with
the Redskins in training camp be-
fore his Marine Corps Reserve
unit was activated, called a we'll
planned attack and executed it
perfectly.
Agganis Is Checked.
Harry Agganis, Lejeune quarter
back who was a star at Boston
University last year. ran and
passed well, but the hard charg-
ing Quantico line gave him little
time to get away his tosses and
held the visitors rushing to 40
yards.
Quantico made it's first touch
down late in the first quarter. With
Bob Farrell. Bill Hawkins and
John Merricks taking handoffs
from LIE Baron, the Virginia Ma
rine Base went 81 yards to score.
Farrell drove over from the l.
foot line Cas- KsyceWski, Cath
olic University star, kicked his
first of six extra points.
Shortly after the second quar-
ter started Farrell broke off right
guard and went A yards to the
1-yard line where LIE Baron fooled
the Lejeune defense with a pass
to Bernie Kaasman for the touch
down. Ed Romankowski, who ran
hard all afternoon, got Quantico
in scoring position a few minutes
later with runs of 16 and II yards.
Len Alloy went over guard from the
for the I'd.
Lejeune Pass Intercepted.
Lejeune threatened in the clos
ing minutes of the first half. but
Roy Russell, Quantico quarter
back. intercepted a pass at the
5. A few plays later LIE Baron
passed % yards to Bob McElroy
for a touchdown with 5 seconds
remaining in the half.
Shortly after the third quarter
began, Romankowski intercepted
a Lejeune pass and ran it back
43 yards to the 2-yard line. where
Merricks bucked over. The Le-
jeune line stiffened to stop a
Quantico drive on the l a few
minutes later. but LIE Baron got
a touchdown on one of the after
Moons most deceptive plays just
before the third quarter ended.
He shifted the offense from the
T to the Notre Dame box and
lined up behind right tackle. Mer-
ricks at the fullback slot took a
direct pass from center pitched out
to Hawkins on what appeared to
be a right-end run. But Haw-
kins stopped and hit LIE Baron
all alone near the left sidelines
for a 17-yard pass and another
Quantico score.
Screen Pass Scores.
The Lejeune Marines were
equally tricky when they made
their only touchdown late in the
final period. Agganis, on a spread
play, passed to Center Ken Schoff
made eligible by the shift. for a
first down at the Quantico IA
and then threw screen pass to
Russ Goodwin for the score. Grover
Martin kicked the point.
Hosea Rodgers made the best
block of the day when he
stopped a Lejeune lineman and
then carried him S yards on his
shoulder.
j The Marines play next Saturday
against Tampa University, 1910
winner over Lejeune, at George
Washington Stadium in Alex
