BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART


was shocked to hear of the death
of "BilT' Cowdrick, business mana
ger of the Lancaster Red Roses, who
passed away on Tuesday, following
an operation.
Bill, one of the oldest officials of
the League in point of. service, was
liked by everyone and his place will
be hard to fill.
The Fall meeting of both the Board
of Directors of the Interstate League
and the membership of the Sports
writer's and Broadcasters' Associa-
ton will be held at the Hotel Alex
ander on Monday afternoon. These
two meetings should be quite inter
esting and productive of some in
formation for you fans on the out
look for 1852.
At the Board of Directors meet
ing it is expected that the status of
the Salisbury Club will be discus
sed, as the owner of the club has
stated definitely that he will not re-
turn to Salisbury next year. There
have been reports that a group of
Salisbury citizens are interested in
buying the club, but nothing def
mite has been given out as yet.
Frank Colley, president of the
Sportswriters' and Broadcasters' As
ISOLATION, will probably bring up the
matter of publicizing the All-Star
game at their meeting something
that was rather poorly handled this
year. Another matter that will be
brought up will be the associations
annual banquet which will be held
in February.
The HagerstoWn Baseball Club
will be the host for the two meet
ings.
The Hagerstown Hubs will bring
their 1851 season to a close next
Thursday, with their traditional
Thanksgiving Day game with
Waynesboro High School, which will
be played on the Waynesboro grid
iron with game time 200 pm.
The Maroon and Gray should have
no trouble in winning their final
game of the year, since they appar-
emily are much too strong for the
Pennsylvania lads and no doubt,
since this is the last game, Coach
Mel Henry will make sure that every
member of his squad sees some ac-
ton during the game.
AS was to be expected, there was
quite a shuttle in the Associated
Press weekly poll of college foot
ball teams this week. Michigan
State, who really poured it on Notre
Dame, was rightfully picked as the
number one team, with Tennessee
dropping into second place. Illinois
was in the third spot, with Stanford,
who proved their worth by taking
the measure of Southern California,
replacing Maryland in fourth posi-
ton. Jim Tatum's Maryland team
dropped back notch into fifth place,
which wasn't surprising in view of
the three touchdowns that Navy
scored against them on Saturday.
While Georgia Tech is the only
team to receive a definite bowl bid
to date, it is expected that many of
the bowl games will be settled af-
ter Saturdays scores are in. There
is lot of talk about Maryland, but
regardless of which game they are
invited to they still have one big
hurdle to get over and that is the
Southern Conference rule, that a

By Doug Stewart

yards, Spence smashed through for
a first down on the 40. On two line
plunges by Burke, the second good
for 20 yards, the Hubs had another
first down on the Black Knights Is.
Then, after Burke had picked up
another yard, Spence raced to the Is
yard stripe before being run out of
bounds. On the next play, Burke
moved down to the 5-yard line, from
where Spence went over for the
Hubs second I'd. Gossard's kick
was again good and the score was
Hagerstown IA, City College 0.
Steen took Burke's kick and re-
turned to the 81. Three line plays
moved the ball to the 43 and then,
on fourth down, Sisson dropped back
and threw looping pass to Pullen,
who hauled it in and moved to the
Hubs AZ yard stripe before he was
downed. Another pass from Pullen
to Blizzard gave City College their
third, first down on the Hubs 80
Then, on an attempted pass, Trum-
power crashed through and nailed
Sisson back on the Hubs 35 yard
line. On fourth down, Sisson drop
ped back to the midfeld stripe for
another pass, but Trumpower broke
through again and brought him down
and the Hubs took over
On the first play Hagerstown was
penalized Is yards for holding, put
ting the ball back on their own 35.
Burke then cut loose with along
pass to CLANCY, who was brought
down on the Black Knights 12-yard
line as the half ended.
Third Quarter
Burke kicked to the Black
Knights 20 and Steen returned it to
the 80. Doering went through the
line for first down on the AZ and
on the next play Ascomb made an
other first down on the Hubs 48. Con-
tinuing the drive, Sisson crashed
through yards to the 40 and then
Pullen made the Black Knights six
tn first down on the Hubs 20. Steen
followed that with 5 yard gain to
the "a, from where Doering broke
through for "a yards and City Col
lege's first and only score of the
game. 1t was an 80-yard sustained
drive. Doering's kick was good and
the score was Hagerstown IA, City
College 7.
Davis got off a fine kick that
Burke took on his own 10-yard line
and raced back to the "a. Spence
was thrown for a 6-yard loss and
then, after CLANCY and Burke, in
two tries, could only pick up 5 yards,
Burke kicked to the Black Knights
40 yard line.
Itzkoff went through the line for
yards to the Hubs 46 and Pullen
moved to the AZ. On the next play,
Pullen was stopped cold at the line,
making it fourth down and one to
go. City College elected to try for
the down with Itzkoff carrying the
ball, but the Hubs forward wall was
equal to the occasion, stopping him
dead in his tracks and the Hubs
took over on downs.
After Spence had gained one yard
through the line, Burke on a hand
off, broke into the clear and went all
of the way to the Black Knights Is
yard stripe before he was hauled
down. 1t was 43 yard run. CLANCY
then made yards through the line
and Spence got 6 more, giving the
Hubs their ninth first down on the
City College yard line, from where
Burke crashed over for the Hubs
third I'D. GosSards kick was good
and the score was Hagerstown 81,

Notes
First Grade-Teacher,
Thelma Watkins

Outside of our window there
IS Poinciana tree. All winter it
looked as if it were dead. Not
a green thing showed on it, not
even one leaf. Dry pods hung
from its branches and made a
pleasant ruStling sound in the
breeze.
About three weeks ago we no.
tlced some tiny spots of green
which grew into fern-like leaves.
Then some small green berries
appeared. Last week many of
these berries opened into beau
tlful red-Orange flowers.
This tree and the one in Tru-
man School yard seemed to be
the first ones to bloom in Key
West.
They are so lovely it makes us
happy just to look at them.
Our teacher put up some pic
lures of Poincianas on the bulletin
board She told us they were
called Pilgrim petals because they
had to travel to get here. Some
one brought a tree from Madagas-
cal and by planting seeds we
now have hundreds of these trees
on our island.
Richard brought some seeds tc
show the class and Sandra
brought a flower. Our teacher
drew one on the board and we
each drew one and colored it. We
saw that it had five small petals
and five large ones. One of the
big petals has white and red and
yellow on it. The other four are
alike. The flowers grow in clus-
tiers. There may be 30 flowers in
one cluster.
We saw a picture of Poinciana
trees in Egypt, the land of Moses
and Joseph of Bible days.

THE PURPOSE OF THE
LIBRARY

The library is very essential to
our school. 1t gives the children
the advantage of reading many
kinds of books that they wouldn't
otherwise have known about.
This is especially valuable to
those boys and girls who like to
read a lot, like myself. can
recommend quite a few books
liked, especially 1.-The Mystery
of the Secret Drawer" like
mystery stories, but 1 also like
books telling us of famous peo-
pie. We have very good IL
brarian who tells us of interest
ing books and helps us find books
we might like. Our teacher al

The Dove

When my mother was ten years
old she found a baby dove on the
ground. She picked him up and
carried him into the house. He be-
came her pet. He used to peck at
her toes when it was time to get
up. He used to get on her should
ers when she was eating.
He would go off and come back.
One time he was off for three
days, but he came back. She had
him for three years and then he
died.

Official Photograph, us. Navy,

The Scouts of Troop No. 253,
under the leadership of Scout
master Tony Martinez and Junior
Assistant Scoutmaster Tom Cor
nell. enjoyed a weekend camp at
Boy Scout Camp Jackson Lee
Sawyer on Spanish Harbor Key.
The theme for this camp was
fun! Everyone enjoyed swimming,
hiking, cooking and all of the
other out-of-doors games. Re
quirements for advancement were
passed by the scouts. The hiking
merit badge was completed by
two scouts. The difference in the
quantity of mosquitoes present
was noted. This is due to the fact
that the two ponds and the canal
joining the two ponds have been
filled in with mari and the breed
ing place for mosquitoes has been
eliminated.
The mosquitoes on the island
are blown over there by the wind
from Big Pine Key It seems if
all the breeding ponds could be
filled in or drained that mos
quitoes on the Keys could be
eliminated altogether
Grateful thanks go to c. j. Cor
nell and Edward Ciesinski for
transportation to camp. Scouts at
tending this camp were: Rene
Alvarez, Raymond Bazo, Matt
Brown, Ronald Ciesinski, Tommy
Gibson, Gurdon Hamilton, Rich
