'Includes win awarded Anacostia owe
Coolidge by forfeit.
That forfeit given Anacostis
over Coolidge in Division Inter
high League football is due fol
more kicking around today.
A definite and final settlement
is expected, with Norman j. Mel.
son, assistant superintendent o1
schools, and c. Melvin Sharpe
president of the Board of Educa-
ton, meeting to decide on an ap-
peal by the parents of Coolidge
players.
No one knows when the rhu-
barb will end. 1t was definitely
settled on two previous occasions,
with Coolidge given credit for its
l4-0 victory over Anacostia the
first time and Anacostia getting
the victory by forfeit the second
time.
Anacostia protested after dis
covering Coolidge used an inelig-
ible player while achieving the
victory october 3. However,
Hardy Pearce, assistant director
of high school athletics. who is
supposed to have the authority to
settle such matters, overruled the
protest on the grounds Coolidge
was not morally responsible.
Player OK'd at First.
The center of the controversy
is Tackle Lenny Kanthal. a trans
fer from Tech to Coolidge. Both
Kanthal and Cedric Reynolds.
Coolidge principal. asked for an
eligibility ruling before the sea-
son opened. Pearce found Kan
thai scholastically acceptable. but
later discovered the boy had not
passed his grades last June at
Tech. Kanthal should not have
been eligible on those grounds,
but Pearce ruled that Coolidge
should not be punished for mis-
take Pearce, himself, made.
Further protest by AnacoStia
resulted in a reversal Of the de-
cision and award Of the game to
Anacostia. ,
Then came Coolidge's turn to
protest. A group of parents met
with Pearce and Reynolds at
Franklin School yesterday to ap-
peal. Today Nelson and Sharpe
rule again. Tomorrow who
knows?
N anwhile, there are some VIC
tories expected to be won on the
field today.
Big Games for Three.
Anacostia plays at Western,
while Coolidge visits Roosevelt
and Tech goes to Wilson, all at

while Wilson is favored to score
its fifth win without loss.
