The Maryland Bi-County
League. which wound up its first
football season last night, is
headed for an extremely success
full tenure if one can judge by
the size Of the crowds and the
results of the games so far.
Northwestern High School
settled the football championship
last night by beating Suitland.
1876, before 5000 fans, but not
before all five teams had a crack
at the title.
Not once during the season did
Bladensburg, Northwestern, Suit
land, Montgomery Blair or Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase play a
League game before less than g.
900 fans and all five teams were
in contention for the title at one
time or another.
AS it turned out, last nights
game at Northwestern not only
decided the Bi-County cham
pionShip but also the Prince
Georges County title.
Running Attack Impressive.
Northwestern won both cham
pionships, it's third straight in
Prince Georges County, with an
impressive running attack that
gained lit yards on the ground
to Suitland's Al.
Since an early season loss to
B-CC, the Wildcats have tied
Mckinley Tech, TT; beaten An
napolis High, 28-14; downed
arch-rival Bladensburg, 9-7. and

NorthweStern's first score came
soon after the start of the Sec
ond quarter when Halfback
Bucky Curtis drove over from
two yards out, Gaping a 46-
yard drive in which he gained
80 yards.
Not long after this score, it
was 1870, when George Gardner.
140-pound scatback, put together
a pair of runs through right
tackle that carried for Al and
% yards.
Tackle Paul NyStrom, stick
out on offense and defense all
evening, made it 1910 in the
third quarter with a 15-yard
field goal. Earlier he had made
a 3-pointer from the 80 that
hit the crosbar and bounced
over, but it was nullif1ed by a
penalty.
Suitland, the surprise team Of
the league this year, moved II
yards for its score in the fourth
quarter. Ira Shapiro hit Ronnie
Crown on the goal line with a
