Some of the smaller schools with
fine records may complain because
they are not rated. We try to
rank the teams not only accord
ling to records, but on whether it
lis believed they could beat schools
ranked below them or not on the

Do Well in Own Glass.
Thus Herndon, undefeated in
nine games: Gaithersburg and
Northwestern, beaten only once
all season, and few of the other
schools with fine records against
teams in their class are not rated.
Playing schools on the list. they
would be the underdogs. Perhaps
the solution in future seasons will
be to select smaller school top 10.
AS pointed out before, some
times a team will appear on the
list rated above a school which
has beaten the higher-ranked
team. This occurs when we feel
later performances indicate that
if the two schools were matched
again, the higher-ranked one
would win.
AS far as predictions went this
season. they were not as success
full as last year. The final analysis
shows a winning percentage of
.728 in 1851 as against TAG in
1850. However, we tried to call
the results of 27 additional games
this year.
With the basketball campaign
coming up it is recalled that pre-
dictions last season were 81 per
cent correct.
In predicting how the interhigh
teams would do the column missed
only seven out of IS games in
which interhigh teams played
each other or outside competition
and in the Catholic League clashes
we had a perfect record. Also we
predicted correctly the result of
each Eastern clash, missed one st.
Johns game (an embarrassing WI
over st. Johns call which ended
1876 in favor Of the Johnnies)
and were 100 per cent accurate
on Gonzaga except for one tie.
Prophet Hits Tough Going.
However, when it came to
Northern Virginia football and
some of the private schools. we
were extremely inaccurate. With
out going through the records. 1T
is safe to say we missed on almost
half the Northern Virginia pre-
dictions and were a little better
in calling the private school re-
suits.
The championship and big-ri-I
valry games were called accurately
for the most part. The successes
were Eastern in the interhigh title
clash and st. Johns over Eastern.
st. Johns over Gonzaga, CIV over
WI, Northwestern over Suitland
and Bladensburg for the Prince
Georges title and Blair over Be
thesda. The biggest miss here
was WI over Mount Vernon,
the Mounts scored an upset. $50,
and Mount Vernon over CIV. with
