Fred Flick is a standout a.

Melton is a veteran guard. Will
liam Ferchak at quarterback and
Skippy Mcknight, line backer
are the only other boys from the

three -fourthS of the team.
A third-place finish again for
Mount Rainier would be a very
optimistic prediction.
Greenbelt Seen Improved.
Greenbelt won only one league
game last fall and lost four, bu,
it should be improved this year
In its opener, Greenbelt was beat
en- by 7-6, but looked good in los
ing. Joe Quigley ran 40 yards
for the Greenbelt score and Coach
Jim Goodman hopes to break him
loose some more against Sherwood
Saturday.
HyattSville and Laurel were not
strong last year, and SO far they
are unknown quantities. A better
line will be had on their prospects
after their openers. HyattSville
meets Maryland Park and Laurel
plays Mount Rainier Saturday.
Hyattsville looked good on &C.
casion last season, winning i'm
presSively over laurel, $50, and
Greenbelt, 1916. Coach Don Pa
lumbo's team should give it's oppo-
nents a good battle.
Laurel was the league doormat
in 1949, not winning a game. Un-
less the team is radically changed,
Charlie Futrell will have tough
time again this season.

Bladensburg High won the
Prince Georges County football
championship last year and is a
good bet to repeat this season.
Maryland Park High should be
strong and Greenbelt better, but
Mount Rainier, Hyattsville and
Laurel are not very optimistic.
Bladensburg, coached by Mearle
Duvall, ex-University Of Maryland
athlete, is using the straight T
again this season. Tech High
routed the Prince Georges cham
pion, 31-6, in the latter's opening
game, but Bladensburg should do
well in its class.
John Schearer, 6-foot-2, 205-
pound quarterback, pilots the at
tack. Danny Anderson has the
fullback spot while a brother COM
bination of Don and Calvin Green
takes care of the halfback jobs
Dan is very fast and elusive while
Calvin is better on defense.
Another brother act is in the
line. John Medina has a tackle
spot and Boni Medina is at center.
John was All-Conference in 1949
and Boni was a second string
selection.
Bladensburg Guards Good.
Duvall thinks the guard spot is
cared for well. Roger Long and
Bob Thrift are back from last
year and Robert Floyd is a pro-
missing sophmore.
Duvall, assisted by John De-
vine and Harry Hughes, has a
good little team. However, Be-
thesda Chevy Chase is favored to
beat Bladensburg tomorrow.
Maryland Park High, coached
by Charlie Hudson, finished sec
ond to Bladensburg last season
and its only loss was to the cham
pion. The team figures to be
lighter, but faster, this year and
in contention again.
The line is anchored by Sopho-
more Larry Suit, 243-pounder, at
tackle and Billy Edwards, 180-
pound veteran, at guard. Bobbie
Thompson is back at his safety
spot for defensive strength and
Willie Burkett, hard running 180-
pound fullback, is counted on to
supply offensive punch.
Il think we'll hold the other
teams down." says Hudson. "I
only hope we can score some
ourselves"
Mount Rainier Is Light.
Mount Rainier'S 90 tie with
Bladensburg was the only smear
on the titlist's league record in
1949. Mount Rainier had a fine
club and finished third in the
county, but this year the outlook
is dim.

not too heavy. He lost most of

a Donnybrook broke out in the
stands. Before it was over. West

his players had paid more atten-

than the action on the field. Next
year, Mulvey issued orders-watch
the game or turn in the uniforms.
When another battle emptied the
stands in 1912, Mulvey patroled
the front of the Western bench.
Twenty pairs of eyes looked
straight ahead. The boys on the
field watched the ball. Wilson
didn't score that time while the
spectators were rioting.
After that game, school board
officials threatened to discontinue
the series if the disorderly con-
duct continued. Things quieted
down and have remained reason
ably so since.
