G'Burg Trojans
Lose To Rockets
On Friday 18th
By "Sunny" Schroeder

The gods Of football fortunes
were with Richard Montgomery
last Friday night as they defeated
the Trojans, 7-6, in thrilling foot
ball game, played under the lights
at the Ag Center.
Charley White made the touch
down for the Gaithersburg team
when he intercepted a forward
pass and made for the end zone
from the 20 yard line. The extra
point attempt failed with bad
pass from center.
Bob Macdonald made the Rock
cts touchdown with Joe Harding
rushing the ball across for the
extra point.
The second half was composed
of defensive football and the game
ended in the 10 score.
This game was the last chance
for the 81 members of the Trojan
squad to defeat the Rocket team,
Since Gaithersburg first resumed
tackle football in 1947, Richard
Montgomery has won three out of
four games played between the
rival schools. Last year was the
only year they were defeated,
when Trojan Pete Beall went across
for the only touchdown of the
game.
Though the Gaithersburg team
lost on Friday the 18th, they are
definitely not superstitious. The
quarterback, Charley White, who
made the Trojan talley, wears the
number 10 on his jersey.
