Tomorrow Is Major
SchooIboy Attraction
The top high school football
attraction of the season to date
comes off at 2:3O pm. tomorrow
at George Washington when the
Presidents take on unbeaten
Episcopal.
The game comes at a time
when high school football in the
area needs stimulant. 1t comes
at a time when only four teams
are unbeaten, and united and
only two of these-Episcopal,
and Armstrong-can be de-
scribed as powers.
There are a few teams among
the defeated suspected of har-
boring power and CIV, along
with Washington-Lee, falls into
this category. The Presidents
lost, 20. to Wilson. a team that
has been beaten twice and tied
once since
Since that opening upset, the
Presidents have gathered mo-
mentum. They trounced Fairfax.
handed Hopewell its first loss
at nome since 1948. tied Thomas
Jefferson, defending State cham
pion. and defeated Petersburg.
In fact. Coach Jim Ford likes
this team with it's big. aggres-
slve line and pony backf1eld.
Breaks May Decide 1t.
EpiScopalS line is also big and
fast and the result could be a
bruiSing struggle with breaks
making the difference.
Adding to interest in the game
is the fact that it is the second
of what promises to be a dra-
matte rivalry. The two schools
have met only once before-GW
winning, 32-7, in 1850.
Coach Lee Mclaughlin of
Episcopal will depend on Full
back John Burress; Halfbacks
Jack Jones and Capt. Fletcher
Carter and Quarterback Lee
Putney to move the ball. Carter,
a hard, shifty runner, was an
Al-Prep selection last year, but
has been hampered this season
by an ankle injury.
Mclaughlin will have a line
g averaging 1875 pounds, with Nell
son Weston. Jay Walker. Bob
= Wilson, Gray Beverly and Gil
Holland among those who helped
shut out three opponents and
. beat Fishburne, "20-13.
Loses Charley TOmpkinS.
e Missing from the Episcopal
defensive backfeld will be Char
ley Tompkins, the hard-luck son
of Charley. ST.. the schools track
coach. Young Tompkins, who
almost lost an eye in a game
last season, underwent an ap-
pendectomy Wednesday.
Ford, whose line features a
,220-pound tackle called The
Earthquake" by his teammates,
will depend chiefly on light ball
carriers. Quarterback jim Mott
ley and Halfback Mahlon Ed
wards are each under 40 pounds.
Mike Gibbons weighs $50.
Tommy Meiklejohn and Dave
Beach are about ITO.
THE Earthquake" is Harold
: Outten. He and John Rinker,
190-pounder. are considered two
of the best tackles in the State.

Dick Crompton. 100; Jerry Law
ter, 1870. and John Cox, ITS.
