For Title Bid After
Routing Anacostia
By Bill Fuchs

Anacostia i : ' Coolidge - i
Bell
BY Bill Fuchs
Roosevelt, greatly improved
team since the beginning of the
season, and Wilson, picked by
most observers to win the inter.
high football title. meet in a show.
down game at 3:15 pm. next Fri.
day at Roosevelt.
The clash might very we'll de-
eide the Western Division winner
which will meet the winner ot
the Eastern Division for the cham
jpionship.
Opinion now gives Roosevelt a
fair chance to beat the Tigers
who were expected to win the
title in practically a cake-walk
After ST. Johns, the No. l team
in the area, defeated Roosevelt
by three touchdowns, Coach Lou
Chacos' team was figured easy fol-
Wilson. Things have changed. The
Riders clipped Tech last week
then rolled over Anacostia. $50
yesterday at Roosevelt.
THESE boys sure have shown
Ia lot of improvement since the
st. Johns game" Chacos says
They don't even look like the
same team. I thought our block
ing and tackling was especially
good against Anacostia; better
than I've ever seen it,"
PerlO Much Improved.
And Phil Perlo continues tc
look better and better as Roose-
velt's T-quarterback.
There's a world of difference
between Perlo this year and Perlo
of last year," Chacos says. For
one thing. he has put on &c
pounds and he's rugged. He di-
rects the team well and all the
boys respect his judgment"
Perlo, Sill and ITO pounds, is
only Junior. When Chacos in
stalled the T at Roosevelt last
year, he put Perlo in as quarter
back. The Riders had their best
season in history, winning their
division title, but lost to Eastern
in the championship game. And
this years team is better, at
least extensively. than last years
according to the coach.
While Roosevelt was having an
easy time with Anacostia, Eastern
and Tech also won handily. East
ern trounced Chamberlain, 47-0,
and Tech bounced Bell, 1876.
Riders Score Quickly.
Roosevelt scored on the fourth
play of the game. Robbie Smith
ers went 38 yards to the Ana
costa % on the opening play
from scrimmage. Two plays later
Perlo went around right end for
the touchdown. An 18-yard run
by Charley Stirling after a lateral
from Perlo gave the Riders an
other touchdown. They led, 14-0,
at the half.
Perlo passed 80 yards to Smith
ers, who ran 80 more for another
touchdown, while a 45-yard run
by Stirling and a 42-yard run by
Joe Gregory accounted for the
others. SmitherS booted three
extra points.
A battle broke out in the second
quarter. which almost wound up
with both squads swinging. Perlo
was tackled hard near the side
lines and the Anacostia players
on the bench voiced their ap-
proval. That started it. Police,
coaches and game officials quickly
restored order. End Dave PREM
kert was ousted and Smithers
thought he was ousted, also.
Smithers Is Recalled.
He started for the dressing
room and was almost to the top
of the concrete steps leading up
from the stadium, when he heard
his teammates shouting for him
to come back. 1t had been a mis-
take. He had been ordered only
to stand back so peace could be
established.
George Hageage and Don Nc
Glynn each scored two touch
downs to lead Tech. Hageage
scored on one-yard sneaks. while
McGlynn got off runs Of SIS and
80 yards. Larry O'Cleary scored
the other touchdown on a 4-yard
run, which climaxed an 80-yard
drive. George Thomas passes to
Ray Windsor and Ed Henshaw
set up Bells only score. Thomas
went over from 2 yards out. Dick
Sutton kicked two extra points.
Sonny Wise scored three touch
downs and passed to another for
Eastern over Chamberlain. Wise
threw a 20-yard pass to Ed Multi
gan for one touchdown and ran
Is, "a and 80 yards for the other
three. A 20-yard run by Bob
Cooke, a 41-yard run with an in
tercepted pass by Mulligan and
a 1-yard plunge by Paul Bahler
scored the others. Mulligan
booted five extra points.
