Clune, who set an Academy scor-

for a 21.3 average.
Clune's 1852 record probably
will stand, as Navy has only

For the past two seasons at
Wilson, Lon Herzbrun has been
the big gun. At Western, Jim
Wexler leads the way. Before
Herzbrun and Wexler came
along, Lou Snouffer was West
ern's ace and Don Scott starred
for Wilson.
In 1851, Wilson finished in q
tie for last place in the Inter-
high standings but Scott was
given an All-High spot. Western
reached the playoffs and Snouf-
fer was picked for the mythical
team. Last year, neither Western
Tor Wilson made the playoffs
but Wexler and Herzbrun were
An-High choices.
The two high-scoring players
are favoriteS to repeat on the ALL
High team this season. Wexler
dropped in 80 points the other
night and threatened the inter-
high record of SO. When Western
played Wilson last week, Herr
brun outscored Wexler, 1921,
and led his team to victory.
At times, both have been crit
icized for shooting too often. II
they played for well-rounded
teams this criticism might be
justified, but Wexler and Herr
brun too often must supply the
points if they are to be made.
The percentages are with these
two sharpshooters and you don't
hear their coaches shouting that
Wexler and Herzbrun are hog
ging the show.
Wilson has team which some
times gets by even If Herzbrun
isn't hot. Yesterday the Tigers
beat a previously ilndefeated
George Washington team, with
Lon hitting for only 10 points.
AL Hobelman and Jim Robert-
son are giving Herzbrun the help
Wilson needs to be a title COM
tender.
However, Coach Tony Kupka
knows that Herzbrun is Wilson'S
meal ticket as a general rule.
Western is almost completely
dependent on Wexler. These

Roosevelt Rated No. |
SchOo|boy Five After
Beating St. Johns
By Brion Bell, Jr.

Roosevelt is rated the No. /
high school basketball team in
the area after beating st. Johns,
67-49, yesterday and bench
strength may keep the Riders on
top.
Just as Techs all-winning out
1T last season came up with
Dick DeCeSare to replace Babe
Marshall when he graduated,
Roosevelt has the substitutes to
give Coach Gabe Ferazzi's team
q needed lift. Ferazzi didn't
know where he might find a re-
placement for Jack Gyorda, who
gets his diploma next week. He
knows now.
Yesterday, Richard Preziotti,
who recently moved up from the
Junior varsity, sparked Roosevelt
to its victory. When Phil Perlo,
usually the Riders leader, had
an OF day, Preziotti and Monk
Casper, another substitute, took
up the slack.
Praised by Gallagher.
Where did you get that little
guy?" Joe Gallagher, st. Johns
coach. asked Ferazzi after the
game (Preziotti. 5-feet-4. weighs
100 pounds. II never heard of
him before and he breaks our
backs"
Gallagher said the games
turning point came when, with
the Johnnies leading by six
points in the second quarter,
Preziotti stole the ball and drib-
bled half the length of the court
for two points. The Riders raj
lied at this point for II more
points before st. Johns could
score.
Again in the third period after
st. Johns had overcome an
eight-point halftime deficit to
tie the score, Preziotti led an
other Riders spurt. He sank a
long set and a foul. His team
mates took it from there and
the score went from 37-37 to
46-37 in Roosevelt's favor. The
Johnnies fought back, narrow
Ing the margin to five points
late in the final quarter, but they
couldn't get in front.
FeraZzi Is Elated.
II didn't know who was going
to take Gyorda's place but I
guess that question is answered
now" an elated Ferazzi said.
Wasn't that Preziotti great?
Casper did good job, too. Bill
Wright played his usual fine
game and Hal Pollin-he's the
most underrated player in the
city-held his own under the
boards"
Each team had 10 field goals
but Roosevelt hit for 19 fouls to
II for st. Johns. However, many
Of the Riders free throws were
made after they had the game
all but clinched and the john
nieS fouled in attempts to steal
the ball.
Wright topped Roosevelt with
16 points followed by Robbie
Smithers with II and Preziotti
with 10. Ralph Hawkins, high
scoring Johnny. made II and
Don Thompson who recently
won a starting spot on the st.
Johns five, contributed 13-most
Of his coming in the first period.
The victory ran RooSevelt's
winning streak to II without
q defeat and left st. Johns with
q 1912 record.

Wilson High S Upset
OF CIV Only Makes
lis Coach Gloomy

Wilson High Schools basket
ball team is overrated, Coach
Tony Kupka said after the Tigers
upset George Washington High,

"The worst is yet to come,"'
Kupka continued. Were near
the top in the District Interhigh
League, but we don't belong
there. We got a break in the
schedule. Out team is not that
good" Wilson has won league
games over Chamberlain, Ana

Tech, with it's height advantage
and ball-handling ability. The
Tigers and Tech, tied in league
play at 80. meet at 1880 pm.
tomorrow at Tech in the first
game of a doubleheader. Roose-
velt (4-0) meets Western (2-O
in the second game. Bell meets
Coolidge and Anacostia plays
Eastern Saturday night at the
same time and place.
Yesterdays loss was the first
for CIV after seven victories, but
1t wasn't unexpected so far as
Coach Rasty Doran is concerned.
Rasty said several days ago he
did not expect to go through the
season unbeaten.
CIV, playing a tight zone de-
tense in the small Wilson gym,
kept Lonnie Herzbrun from driv-
ing down the middle and re-
Stricted him to two field goals
in Is attempts in the first half.
However, Herzbrun came back in
the second half to register six
points. Wilson led, 21-11, 21-19
and 1922, at the end of each Of
the first three quarters.
Wilson's scoring was distrib-
uted fairly evenly. Jim Robert
son and Al Hobleman each
scored II point, while Herzbrun,
Joe Pelligrini and Roger Sears
each scored 10. Doug Fleming
led CIV with 18 points, while
Bill Morton scored Is and Les
McMenamin, IL.
CIV trailed, SLAB, with two
minutes to go when Kupka or
dered the freeze. The remaining
scoring was q foul shot by Will
son and two by CIV.
Falls Church won thriller,
