Wilson Coach Raps
Team S Spirit After
Tie With Roosevelt

lie witt kOOSeveII
No one expected Wilson High
to field as good team this sea-
son as last years Interhigh
champions, but Coach Joe Carlo
apparently figured his 1853 squad
would show more proficiency
than it did in its 20 victory
over George Washington last
week and in TT tie with Roose-
velt yesterday.
The deadlock yesterday
brought to an end Wilson's IL
game winning streak, but that
didn't seem to bother Carlo too
much. Bob Rogers, the Tigers
first string tailback, sat out most
of the game after pulling some
ligaments in his right foot and
Carlo wasn't too concerned over
that either, since the injury is
expected to heal by next week.
The Wilson coach simply was
disgusted with the whole game.
I'VE have no zip, no fight, no
spark" he said, land that's the
story in nutshell" But he de-
clined to single out any faults.
Miss Field Goal.
Indeed, the Tigers put on a
plodding performance in the
league opener before 1,500 fans
at the Wilson stadium. The de-
Tending champions had a chance
to break the tie near the end of
the game when they recovered a
Roosevelt tumble on the Riders
22-yard line. Four plays pushed
the ball to the 8, but the Tigers
were showed back and Bob Chat
fields field goal attempt was low
and short.
The scoring for both teams
came soon after halftime, when
George Speros, Wilson fullback,
passed to Jerry Scully on a play
covering Sc yards, and four plays
later Dick Morgan, Roosevelt's
left halfback, Scooted through
his left tackle for 81 yards. Chat
field and Jerry Peake provided
the extra points for Wilson and
Roosevelt, respectively.
Easy for Eastern.
Elsewhere in Interhigh (Divi-
sion u openers. Eastern trampled
Chamberlain, 1912; Western
ruined Anacostia's debut, 1876,
and Coolidge squeaked past Bell,
1877. Tech, the other District
high school, plays at Falls Church
today at 2 pm. and opens its
league season next Friday against
AnacoStia.
Fullback, Bob Ellis scored twice
and Charlie Sampson, John
Payne and Gay Clark once each
as Eastern collected all of its
points in the first half and
coasted to it's second straight vic
tory. Quarterback Ed Mulligan,
who had passed to Sampson and
Payne for touchdowns, added the
three extra points. Phil Wade &C
counted for Chamberlain's scores
in the first and third quarters.
Western spotted Anacostia a
quick touchdown and then came
back with scoring passes in each
of the first three quarters for its
opening victory over Anacostia.
Bob Sargent hit Sal lombard
and Ed (Chicken) King with
passes and lombard took an
other toss from Dick Sundt to
account for Westerns Scoring.
Jack Schroeder scored for the
Indians.
Bell Team Promising.
Bell Vocational unveiled what
may be the best team in its short
history against Coolidge on
Roosevelt's field yesterday. After
Stan Kay plunged for one Cool
ldge touchdown and passed TO
GDave Pratt for another, Bell
took over in the second half
almost completely, only to have
fumbles ruin several drives. Don
Pisciotta scored the lone Bell
touchdown.
In other games involving Dis
trict high schools, Dunbar out
claSSed CardoZo, 24-7, at Brooks
Stadium in the Interhigh (Divi-
sion ID opener and Spingarn
absorbed a 24-6 defeat at Dunbar

Cardozo held a TO lead at
halftime, but two quick scores
by Frank Jenkins erased this ad-
vantage. Rudolph DeVaughan
and Lawrence Boone completed
the Dunbar scoring.
Maggie L. Walker of Richmond
scored twice in the last quarter
to turn back Parker Gray, 1876,
