Maryland, Bugs Thompson of
Tech at Georgetown (after first
enrolling at Clemson). Andy Davis
of Tech at George Washington.
Ray Fox of Eastern at CIV and
many others. Still too many
! names can be quoted who were
I stars in high school in this area
land chose out-of-town colleges
Gotten because they were not even
Offered scholarships in their home
town.
Billy Hayes and Dickie Lewis
Z were both headliners at Wash
ington-Lee High few years ago.
This season Carl Snavel, has
built his offense around Hayes at
North Carolina and Lewis is the
best back at William and Mary.
Next to Johnny Papit at Vir-
ginia, End Gene Schroeder from
Anacostia High here is the most
i dependable player with the team.
/ Ray Leister and Rolo Thompson
are first-stringers at Washington
and Lee University. They were
stars at WI High few years
ago.
One of the best examples of this
trend is the case of Jimmy Pantos
at Maryland. He is the star of
the Terp frosh this season and
last week lead the Old Liners to
a 1870 win over CIV by throwing
two 30-yard passes for touch
downs. But it's only by some
degree of luck that Pantos is at
Maryland.
When he graduated from Cen
trail after being ALL High in 1948,
his high school coach. Jan jan
kowski, now coach at Catholic
University, tried to get Pantos to
go along with him to Gu. But
Pantos had his heart set on Mary
land.
Seeing that the boy was set on
Maryland, Jankowski tried to get
Coach Jim Tatum to give Pantos
a scholarship, but the verdict was
"too small" Finally Pantos en-
rolled without any help at Mary
land and came out for the fresh
man team. He has scholarship
now and Tatum says he is the best
prospect he's seen in a long time
OF course, the college coaches
in the area aren't to blame for
letting a good many of the boys
get away. Some would rather go
away to school and others are
offered more lucrative rewards
than the local colleges can fur
nish. Still. too many Washington
high school stars are being lured
away while the college coaches
here sit idly by. I know of two
good interhigh backs who will
make some coach fine, college
players, but so far they have not
been approached by universities
In the area.
It's true that Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Ohio breed good foot
ball players but there are some
boys in Washington who can play
the game fairly we'll too.
It would be difficult to find two
more evenly matched teams than
Maryland Park and Frederick
which play at 8 o'clock tomorrow
night in Frederick.
Both are undefeated with Fred
erick riding a seven-game winning
streak and Maryland Park boast
ing five wins. Both have beaten
Greenbelt and Annapolis by SIM
liar margins.
Maryland Park defeated Green
belt 1915 and had two touchdowns
called back. Frederick took Green
belt, 26-6, and had one I'D nulli-
fed. Frederick edged Annapolis
1877 with a score in the last Sec
ends of play. Maryland Park
edged Annapolis, 7-6, and had the
ball on the Annapolis 1-yard line
when the final gun sounded.
+ It should be quite a game for
Prince Georges and Frederick
fans. The game has built UP such
interest in nearby Maryland that
Frederick radio station WIND
AM and FM is broadcasting the
game.
Bulls Prep, a team that never
