CIV High Comes Back
Ito Score First Win
By Edging Fairfax

George Washington High School
has the poorest won-lost record of
any Northern Virginia Class A
school, but the Presidents could
have the best team in the league.
CIV beat Fairfax, TO, on a
touchdown in the last few minutes
last night in Alexandria for its
first victory of the season against
four losses and a tie. However,
Fairfax tied Falls Church and
Washington Lee, while Falls
Church tied Mount Vernon. Com
parative scores mean almost moth
ing, but there is no denying the
tough CIV schedule and the fact
the school has a better team than
its record indicates.
Last night, CIV and Fairfax
battled on even terms most of the
way until the final two minutes
when the Presidents. hitherto
noted for their weak aerial attack,
passed for the only touchdown.
Tom Meiklejohn, throwing from
his Al, hit Jim Whitestone at the
Fairfax IS and the CIV end went
acroSs to give Fairfax it's first de-
feat of the season.
One Touchdown Recalled.
The Presidents had touch
down called back in the third
quarter when a backfield-in mo
tion penalty nullified a 3-yard
plunge by Bob Crompton. Fair
fax got as far as the CIV Is in
the second quarter but fumbled
Crompton and Ralph Kneelano
ran well for the Presidents, while
Lucius Beasley did his usual good
job of backing up the line. Danny
Gillian was outstanding at de-
fenSive halfback for Fairfax.
