Eastern High off to Good Start,
Faces Test Friday in Anocostio

Eastern, 300 victor over Cham
berlain at Eastern yesterday, is
in the leao in the District public
high football series and it's up tC
the others to catch up.
An engagement tougher than
the series opener awaits Eastern
Friday when it will be host to
Anacostia. If they get by the In
dians, the Ramblers should be
hard to beat.
Saturday, Western and Wilson
meet at Eastern and this game
holds the key to Wilson's future.
The Tigers won the champion
ship last year, but after last
nights loss to George Washing
ton High in Alexandria they may
have trouble recovering.
Eastern so far hasn't been ex-
tended. The Ramblers beat a
strong York Pa,D High team,
300, in their first outing.
Anacostia is a question mark.
The Indians also opened yester-
day, pasting a green Gonzaga
eleven, $40, at Anacostia.
Chamberlain Puts Up Fight.
Despite yesterdays loss, Cham
berlain doesn't look a pushover.
The Volts held the favored Ram
blers to 7 points in the first three
periods. In addition, Chamber
lain put on two drives which car
ried to the Eastern 4 and 20 in
the final period.
Eastern scored early in the sec
ond period, Danny O'Neill going
over from the left side of the line
five yards to goal. In the last Pc
riod Eastern drove 73 yards with

10000 See 6. W. High
Beat Wilson, Proving
Night Football Pays
By Bill Fuchs

George Washington High School
Is in for another prosperous foot
ball season and if the Presidents
get by Lane High at Charlottes-
vile Friday night they might jam
their stadium one week later
October 6.
That is the date the Presidents
face Hopewell High, defending
Virginia State champion and un-
defeated last season. With 10000
out to see G. w. plaster Wilson
26-7, last night, a full house
some 17,000-at the Hopewell
game would not be surprising.
On the same date Eastern will
play at Roosevelt, Bell will be al
Anacostia and Tech at Wilson ir
District public high series games
and if more than 5000 see al
three attractions it will be con-
sidered good afternoon-b5
Washington standards, that is.
Night Play Draws Crowds.
The difference. of course, i;
night football. Washington schools
don't have it; Virginia schools do
Washington schools play before
many empty seats; Virginia school:
play before many people.
That's much better than a fail
football team Coach Phes Wood
son of G. w. is fielding. He has
in George Nolan G60 pounds) anc
Fordie Thompson Q55 pounds)
two of the cagiest. shiftiest, fast
est backs in this area.
And there's line to match
anchored by 230-pound Ear
(Tubby) Dixon. a tackle who
spreads his weight around to ad
vantage.
When Hopewell comes to G. w
the host team will be out to pro-
tect a 24-game home winning
streak that dates back to 1916,
when it took it's last beating in
Alexandria from Wilson, 7-6.
Wilson, District public high de-
Tending champion, wasn't in the
contention last night. There was
too much G. w. line and far too
much Nolan and Thompson.
Nolan, Thompson Run Wild.
First quarter-Nolan took a
1O-yard pass from Lester Scott
and ran 35 yards to the Wilson
35. A couple of plays later,
Thompson skirted left end for 20
yards to the 6. Nolan Jagged
across for a touchdown.
Second quarter-Nolan tried the
right side of the Wilson line and
found it good for SIS yards to the
Wilson 9. Nolan went more to
the 4, then zig-zagged over. Two
passes, both from Gary Quinn to
Pete Haley, ate up SO yards and
gave Wilson its only touchdown
Third quarter-Thompson took
a Wilson punt on his II, stumbled
on the 20, gained momentum on
the 80 and he was gone. Nolan
threw the key block on the Wilson
25, knocking aside two would-be
tacklers. Bill King of Wilson
threw a, pass from his 20 and
Thompson shared it on the 35 and
the score was 26-7.
Fourth Quarter-No score.

Paul Ekrich, Jim Parrish and

A conversion by Bill Jennings
after Pip Meyer intercepted a

Annapolis with its victory. Joe

(Another in a Series.)
By Brian Bell, Jr.

Mount Vernon High School has
an enrolment of 1850. One hun
dred and f1fty-nine are out for
football. This clearly indicates the
schools enthusiasm for the sport.
The 1850 team has the desire
to win and the ability to do so.
The Mounts must be rated above
Falls Church and Fairfax and not
very far behind Washington-Lee
and George Washington among
the nearby Virginia schools.
Harry Lee, athletic director. and
his staff of coaches. Jim Coyle,
Bob Bowman. Lee Roberts from
the University of Maryland and
Bill Murphy have installed foot
ball chain system at Mount Ver-
non.
The coaches have an eighth
grade team, an eighth and ninth
grade mixed, Junior team and a
top varsity squad. And all the
boys are keen about the game.
They showed it yesterday after
nonn when they scrimmaged until
6 o'clock and were yelling for more
when the coaches called it quits.
Lee points to his two quarter
backs, Eddie West and Stanley
Kelley, as the keys to the Mounts
success with the split T. James
Darr, 197-pound end, and Low
Rosie at center are two of the
Mounts best linemen.
Only One Senior in Line.
David Ditto at tackle is the only
senior in the line, but with good
boys on their way up from the
lower teams, Mount Vernon should
be strong in front for some time.
The Mounts are not without
troubles, however. The Navy took
Paul Norfolk, first-string halfback,
and Billy Petit, starting fullback.
A knee injury has Jim Lakey off
the squad. Lee says Lakey was as
good at football as in baseball, in
which he was a pitching star.
Edwin Myers and Art Kuhn,
140-pound scatback, at halfbacks;
Bob Brokaw at fullback and West
or Kelly at quarterback make up
the starting backfield. Kuhn
gained more than 100 yards in the
first two games.
The Mounts started auSpiciously
with 14-6 win over Gonzaga and
a 1876 triumph over Dewitt. but
one of their tougher trials comes
this week when they meet War
wick in Newport News, Va. War
wick won six straight in Virginia
Glass A competition last year and
Lee expects tough fight.
Fairfax To Be Reckoned With.
Less heavily endowed are Fair
fax and Fall Church. although
the former pulled an upset last
night when it surprised Roosevelt,
22~6. Falls Church has dropped
two this season-to Coolidge, TO,
and James Monroe of Fredericks-
burg, 1876, while Fairfax lost its
opener to Wilson, 26-7.
Coach Bill EdmonSon at Fairfax
points to John (Skinny) Safer.
his passing fullback, and Terry
Cannon, a fine receiver, as two of
the best. Safer scored once and
passed to Cannon for another
touchdown last night while Can
non scored twice,
In the line, Fairfax has Smokey
Stover, a defensive end, and Thad
Hudson at guard as the standouts.
Edmonson says the movies of the
Wilson game showed Hudson
played a fine game. !
Before last night, Fairfax
wasn't rated highly because of it's
defeat by Wilson. Now after
beating a good Roosevelt team.
the Virginia school can not be
taken lightly.
Falls Church Backs Good.
Falls Church has taken two on
the nose, but Coach Tom Todd

is not discouraged. He has a
couple of fine backs in Bill Wheeler
and Dick (Skip) Towers. Wayne
Akre has looked good at halfback,
too.
Wheeler is one of the best T
quarterbacks in the area. A IT'S
pound 6 footer, he is Coach Todd's
workhorse. He's a hard runner,
good passer and fair punter and

would remain open.
Congress had appropriated
100000 a year for the last two

small fees be paid by the parents
to help out. This year. Congress
set aside $4,000 for the day-care
centers and provided they should

|Doy-Core Center CIosings Pose
Problem for Mothers of 300

The working mothers of about
800 children today face immediate
and difficult problems due to the
closing of the Districts six day
care centers.
The children had received su-
pervised care in the centers from
z am. to Z pm. daily. until the
project closed last night. They
were started in 1943 as a wartime
measure for working mothers.
Typical of the difficulties is the
case of Mrs. Agnes Knickle, 26,
of 149 c street NE. WAC vet
eran now employed by the Marine
Corps at the Navy Annex. She is
divorced.
For two and one-half years,
Mrs. Knickle has placed her son,
Jimmy, 3, in the day-care center
at 314 D street Sc, while she
was at work. Her take-home pay
is about SAT a week, and she paid
$3.50 a week for the supervised
care Of the boy.
No Place for Jimmy.
I'm on a defense job but I
can't go to work Tuesday because
I have no place to leave Jimmy"
she explained. She added that
she had no close relatives in this
area, and couldn't afford any
other type of day-care for her
son because it would probably
cost more per week than she made.
Many of the women who have
placed their children in the D
street center either are separated
or divorced and therefore now are
up against the same problem as
Mrs. Knickle.
II think closing the day-care
centers is the most horrible thing
that could nave happened to any
of U.s." said Mrs. Glace w. Perry,

Miss Melissa Jones
And Miss Jan KinQ
Bow to Society
By Margaret S. Dickey

Like the postman, the debut
tantes yesterday went their ap-
pointed rounds despite snow and
rain. And their rounds were many
and gay.
Main event of the afternoon
was the delightful tea dance at
the Sulgrave Club at which tall,
brown-eyed Melissa Jones was
presented to society by her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Harold A.
Jones.
The debutante who received
with her mother at the head of
the stairs of the club, wore a very
bouffant dress of white tulle deli
cately traced with gold embroid-
cry. Her bouquet was of white
stephanotis and camellias in
which nestled a few golden-col-
ored roses repeating the color
scheme of her dress.
Mrs. Jones wore gray crepe
cocktail dress and Miss Suzanne
Jones, the deb's sister who came
down from New York for the
party, chose a green crepe cock
tail dress.
The rooms of the club abounded
with Christmas greens and in the
ballroom Sidney would OCCASION
ally punctuate his dance selections
with a lively rendition Of Jingle
Bells" or the more sentimental
white Christmas"
Assisting the hostess were Mrs.
John Kenney, Mrs. Hugh D.
Auchincloss and Mrs. Edward
Finkenstaedt.
Melissa selected this date for
her presentation because her
mother also made her bow on
December % in Buffalo during her
debutante days. Yesterdays bud
attends Sarah Lawrence College
and is a graduate of the Masters
School at Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.
