Evening star., 1953-10-16
CIV High Opposing
Petersburg tonight;
WI Host 10 Mounts

George Washington High,
which has played out Of town
the last two weeks, shows its
once-beaten and once-tied foot
ball team to the home folks when
it plays Petersburg at Alexandra
in one of five high school games
scheduled in the suburbs tonight.
Six games tomorrow and an
other Sunday top off the week
end scholastic competition which
begins this afternoon with a
dozen contests.
CIV, sporting 2-0-1 record in
Virginia Group l play so far,
trails only four unbeaten teams
in the State standings-Hamp-
ton, Warwick. Woodrow Wilson
of Portsmouth and CRANKY OF
Norfolk. The Presidents chances
for a State title depend on a
combination of several develop
ments: The four leaders getting
knocked off at least once, a VIC
tory tonight over Petersburg and
triumphS later over Mount Yer
non, Westinghouse and John
Marshall.
Comparison of Records.
Comparative scores against two
common opponents reveal little
about tonight's game. Petersburg
knocked off Thomas Jefferson.
90. while CIV tied the same
team, TT, last week. But CIV
beat Hopewell, 1877, and Hope
well bounced back to beat Peters
burg, 300.
George WaShington's effective
defense, which to date has held
its four opponents to % points,
is expected to get a stiff test
from one of the top backs in the
State. Oliver (Skitchie) Rudy.
Petersburg quarterback, is a fast,
shifty runner who has impressed
Coach Ned Mcdonald of the Uni
versity of Virginia.
The Petersburg star led his
team to a 60 victory over the
Presidents last year when he ran
the opening kickoff to the CIV
5-yard line to set up the only
score of the game. CIV later
moved the ball all over the field,
but couldn't quite match that
touchdown.
Washington-Lee, with a Al
record, will be favored tonight
when it plays Mount Vernon at
WI. Mount Vernon won its first
of the season last week when it
got by Lane. 1877.
Fairfax Title at Stake.
Falls Church is at Fairfax in
another Virginia game at 8 pm.
and a victory for the visitors will
lock up the Fairfax County
championship. Falls Church al
ready has beaten Mount Vernon
in the other leg of the three
team race. Fairfax has lost four
straight.
Two other games tonight find
Herndon playing at Lincoln in a
Virginia Group III meeting and
Tech at Northwestern in a nom
league affair.

row involves undefeated George
Mason and Osbourn in Group
III meeting in Virginia'S Dis
