PaIumbo Prediction
Sours as Bethesda
Upsets His Wildcats
BY Tom Casey

A few weeks ago. Dan Pa
Jumbo, coach of Northwestern
was an interested spectator AS
Bladensburg rolled to a 1870 win
over Bethesda Chevy Chase at
Northwestern High School sta
dium.
After the game, Palumbo casu-
ally predicted that Bethesda
wouldn't offer much opposition
to his Wildcats when the two
teams met later in the season,
and his remark appeared sound
at the time. The Barons showed
nothing in their loss to Bladens-
burg, and in 1852 suffered a
41-0 pasting from the Wildcats
But 1900 fans, and Paiumbo
witnessed one of the biggest up
sets of the bi-countv league
season last night as Bethesda
Chevy Chase whipped North
western, 1879, at Northwestern
stadium.

scoring in the second quarter
when a pass from center sailed

Bethesda punter, and out of the

AL Sadusky, coach of the Bar
ons, although pleased with his
teams surprising win, was con-
cerned with the numerous in
juries to his youngsters. Il don't
know how we'll be next week, -
he gloomily murmured, well be
lucky if we have ball club"
