:
NEW YORK, Nov. 3o.-T1ais
promises to be a rough. tough cage
season for City Colleges granc
slam kids.
The busy Beavers, who surprised
the basketball world last March
by capturing both the National
Invitation and NCAA tourna-
ments. will be the major target
of every opponent. A win over the
champions will come close to in
surfing successful season for the
team that can do it.
For this reason and also because
of increased strength in the East
City will be hard pressed to re-
peat.
The word is out that the East is
loaded this year. Coach Nat
Holman of City is well aware OF
it. AS If that wasn't enough
Holman also is concerned over
overconfidence ION the part of his
boys.
Fears Four or Five Defeats.
1--WE will be the main target y
he said. Everybody will save his
best shot for us. won't be sur
prised if we lose four or five
times"
The Beavers, lacking only
strong reserves, have their cham
pionship team intact except for
Forward Irv Dambrot. Also gone
are lesser lights Norm Mager, Joe
Galiber and Mike Within.
The squad again will be spear
headed by Ed Roman t6-6) and
Ed Warner t6-3). Other starters
include Floyd Layne, AL Roth and
Herb Cohen.
The schedule gives City College
a break. Only seven of its 81 OPP
ponentS are considered strong
enough for some sectional rank
ing. They are Brigham Young,
Missouri, Oklahoma, Arizona, st.
Johns of Brooklyn. Holy Cross
and CaniSius.
st. Johns Eastern Threat.
st. Johns, along with Syracuse,
Long Island u, Seton Hall, Cor
nell, Georgetown and Holy Cross,
are expected to provide City with
stiff opposition for Eastern hon.
ors. Those with an outside chance
include La Sale, Canisius,
Niagara. Duquesne. Manhattan
and Villanova.
Georgetown and Seton Hall are
the dark horses. Seton Hail, a
club made up predominantly of
sophomores already has given an
indication Of strength by trounc-
ing Rhode Island State. The Pi-
rates. winners of 81 of 80 games
as a freshman unit last winter,
boast three most promising new
comerS in Richie Regan, Wally
Dukes and Mickey Harmon.
Georgetown, like Seton Hall. is
composed mainly of sophomores.
Evening star., 1950-11-30

st. Johns seven front men
average 1913 pounds and Eastern's
line is just as big. The Johnnies
haven't given up a touchdown
on the ground all year and except
for the WI game in which the
Ramblers collapsed, the Eastern
line has only given up two scores.
Washington-Lee is the common
denominator that makes st. Johns
favored tomorrow night. The
Generals pasted Eastern 900,
scoring four touchdowns on the
ground but also gaining consider
able yardage through the air. The
next week st. Johns gave VII
a 300 trouncing.
However, fumbles crippled the
Rambler offense against. the Cen
erals and they played their worst
game of the season in Arlington
that night. Comparative scores
are worthless, especially in high
school football and if Eastern's
line plays as well as it has in
its last two games against Ana
costa and Tech. the Johnnies are
in for rough evening.
Techs forward wall has been
much touted this year-it placed
four linemen on a recent all-high
team while Eastern was awarded
only one place. Last Friday night,
the Rambler linemen were OUT
charging Tech all night and if it
hadn't been for the presence of
Danny Vaught, Techs great
guard, Eastern would have rolled
up even more than it's 229 yards
rushing.
It should be an interesting eve
ming when Eastern's Spencer
Lampiris. probably the best high
school center in the area, meets
Center Jim Kennedy of St. Johns,
the star of the Johnnies' 37-0 win
over Gonzaga - when 210-pound

O'Neill. 190-pound Eastern left
halfback and Ralph Sta. fast and
hard-running right half try to run
around 205-pound Joe Hands at
one of st. Johns ends and 190-
pound Jack DAILY at the other.
Dale Larsen. Western High half
back, is the hard luck player of
the high school area. The shifty
back is one of the most elusive
runners in the area-when he's
in good health-and that's the
catch. es
Larsen broke his wrist in 1948
but was still good enough to make
The Stars second string all-high
team as sophomore. In 1949 he
was headed for a great year but
broke a finger and wound up on
only the honorable mention lists.
This season he has been spectac-
ular in spots but a badly pulled
muscle kept him out of the i'm
portant Tech game, all but a few
minutes of defense in the Eastern
contest and slowed him down
against Anacostia.
1t is unlikely that Larsen will
even make the honorable men
tion lists this season but it is
unfortunate for when he has been

in shape he has starred. He re-
ceived little recognition, however,
for his stellar play has been
against out of town teams and
against weak Chamberlain
eleven.
But just for the record, he re-
turned a punt 88 yards against
Chamberlain and ran 10 yards
from scrimmage for two touch
downs. starred against Stuyvesant,
running IS yards with punt to
set up a I'd and going As yards
with a screen pass for a touch
down, and won the Fairfax game
by dashing rs yards on a screen
pass in the last four minutes to
give Western a 20-18 victory.
Since some Of the best football
in the area is played in nearby
Virginia and the players from the
Arlington and Fairfax schools
don't get the individual recogni-
ton they deserve, a Northern Vir-
ginia All-High doesn't seem to be
