Fort Meade Fiyes Start
Posi- Title Play Tonight

The Fort Meade post basketball
team and the Fort Meade Medics
start three-game playof series
tonight for the post champion
ship. Both were winners in their
games last night, the post team
by only one point and the Medics
by a record score.
The post team nosed out Army
Chemical Center, 66-65. on Dick
|Schnittker's two free throws in
the last five seconds. while the
Medics set their all-time record
by trimming Bethesda Naval
Medical, 110-59, at Bethesda.
In other service games last
night. Quantico Marines opened

Little Greek Amphibs, 80-57; Arl-

men In the city-is taking the ball
out Of bounds after the opposi-
ton has scored. Tech uses the
fast break whenever it can and
it's Sullivan's job to get the ball
down court. He does it with a
catcher's peg he can zip with ac-
curacy half the length of the
court. Frank seldom makes a bad
pass but he throws so hard only
the catlike refexes of Herman,
Breen and Cav prevent the ball
from whistling past.
Another nice bit Of basketball
Sullivan employs when taking the
ball out against a pressing defense
is his habit of running four or
five steps in one direction, then
stopping and firing his one-hand
pass to the opposite side of the
court.
Blocker ON Gridiron.
Basketball is not the only sport
Sullivan took to easily. The 18-
year r-old is the blocking back on
Techs football team-converted
from an end position-and q
hurdler in track season.
A Tech brochure says Sullivan
is just about the smoothest center
the Whiz Kids have had since
Walt Olson starred for Tech in
1914" Usilaner goes further than
that: "Olson was 6-foot-8 and an
all-high center. but for my money
Sullivan is a better player"
Bobby Hart, Eastern coach. is
one of the few people who realizes
Sullivan's value. The last time
Eastern met Tech, Hart geared his
defense to keep Sullivan away
from the boards. Tech won any,
way and Frank still got his share
of rebounds. Hart gets another
chance at the Trainers Friday
night and he says he can win If
Eastern can keep Sullivan away
from the loose balls. That's been
well-nigh impossible all season.

Hart Thinks Eastern
Can Defeat Tech in
Interhigh PIayoffs
Final Interhlrh standinss.
By Brion Bell, j..

~ Viiou USHs ~.
Bobby Hart, Eastern High
coach. doesn't mind sticking his
neck out.
Few high school coaches in the
city would dare predict they can
beat Tech. but Hart has said so
twice.
Eastern beat Wilson, 46-40, yes
terday at Tech to gain fourth
place and the last spot In the
interhigh playoffs which start
Friday night at Tech. The Ram
blers had to beat Anacostia
Monday and Wilson yesterday,
in special playof for fourth
place. and all for the dubious
privilege of meeting Techs high
riding five. Hart. however, is
glad Of the chance.
Still Thinks He Can Win.
Asked for comment about the
Ramblers' chances, Hart was any
thing but reticent yesterday. at
know I said we'd beat Tech the
last time we played and we lost
by 19 points. Well, I don't mind
saying it again-we can beat Tech
and I'll tell you why I think so."
"The last time we played them
we didn't have two of our biggest
boys, Joe D'Ambrosio and Graham
Pennington. Joe was out with the
fiu and Pennington had q bad
ankle. Now. they're both back
and in addition, ,Gino D'Ambrosio
has started to score and Dick Tor
bett has yet to make as many
points as he can when he has q
good day."
I'VE may use zone, we may
use a full court press, they're q
lot Of things we may do-but I'll
say this. Techs winning streak
has to stop somewhere and i
think We can be the one to do it"
Yesterday. the improving Ram
blers controlled the boards
throughout as they took q two
point lead at halftime and broke
the game open in the third quar-
ter. They took an eight-point ad-
vantage early in the second half
and never let the Tigers get closer
than four points after that. With
f1ve minutes remaining in the
game, Eastern led, 40-30, and
slowed down its pace to keep pos
session Of the ball and get the
victory.
Foul Goals Help.
Accuracy from the foul line
contributed largely to Eastern's|
win. The Ramblers were OUT
scored by one basket from the
floor, but sank is Of 18 foul shots
while Wilson was successful on)
eight out of 13. Torbett sank
eight for eight from the free
throw line.
Gino D'Ambrosio led the Ram
blers' first-half attack, while Tor
bett sparked their late drive i
Gino sank five set shots In six
attempts in the first two periods,
and Torbett tossed in 13 of East
ern's 16 second-half points.
Wilson's inexperienced team
which despite losing yesterday
finished the season with a fine
record. hustled throughout but
lacked the blackboard control it'll
has had in previous games and
could not hit the basket con-
sistently in the second half.
Torbett and Gino D'Ambrosiol
topped the Eastern scoring with
16 and IL points while Lon Herr
brun and Chuck Kimball led VIII
son with II points each.
