he will be sorely missed, but l feel
sure that whoever succeeds him will
give the Hagerstown Club the same
fine cooperation that Harry Jenkins

Although the Hagerstown High
School Maroon and Grey Football
team lost their first game of the sea-
son to Gettysburg on Saturday by
the close score of 6 to 0, they show

schedule that they will be tough
team to beat,
Coach Mel Henry and his assis-
tants, AL Davis and Paul Burger,
have brought the boys along in fine
shape and with this first game under
their belts, the boys will be able to
profit from the experience gained
