A bowling, boisterous high
school fraternity party was
broken up last night by Mont

4S teenagers subsequently cooled
their heels at the Silver Spring
police station.
The youths ranging in age
from Is to 10 were taken into
custody as they conducted a
fraternity initiation in an open
field off Aspen Hill road near
Parkland drive in Wheaton.
Police said five of the youths.
who were 18 and over, were booked
on disorderly conduct charges.
The names of the others were
turned over to Montgomery
County juvenile authorities.
Police Get Complaint.
When police arrived at the
initiation. 10 of the youths were
naked except for heavy coatings
OF molaSSeS, mustard and
ketchup sprinkled with flour and
corn flakes. police reported.
Police received a complaint
about the party shortly after 8
pm. and dispatched a car to
the scene. After observing the
noisy mob the two officers called
for help and six other policemen
were sent to help them.
The youths were reported to
be chiefly from Coolidge and
Rto Roosevelt High Schools in the
School Officials Meet Police.
Police Identified the five
youths charged with disorderly
conduct as Morris H. Casper, 10,
of the first block of Rittenhouse
street NV; Martin Kovalsky,
| 18, of the 5000 block of Fifth
street NV; Mark j. Rather, 18,

officials from Coolidge and
Roosevelt High Schools conferred
with police today at the Silver
Spring Substation.
Parents Were Cautioned.
"It just makes me heartsick, ,"
said Mrs. Elva C. Wells, prin-
cipal of Roosevelt High School.
I'VE have no trouble at the
school, but you know schools
out at g."
Mrs. Wells said she had sent
letters in July to the parents Of
new students this year about
"the dangers of these things" I"
referring to fraternities and
Sororities. She urged that the
students participate in super
vised school activities.
Schools are interested in stu
dents being at home on school
nights doing home work." she
said, land we can't understand
why parents are allowing them
to be out without knowing where
they are"
Cedric Reynolds, principal Of
Coolidge, termed the affair lust
another example Of poor paren-
tai care"
He, too, pointed out the school
has no control over the students
when they are out at night.
This is just another example
Of the responsibility of the
high school fraternities, he said.
While school officials do not
recognize fraternities and soror-
tiles as school activities, he said
they do feel a moral and civic
responsibility for their students.

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 5.-Golf's
winter viSitors-the Star-studded

the opening round of the $4,000
Ell Paso Open with the bee on

Tommy, who Swears he's a new

explains that that's why he's
now Winning-will probably be
sorely tested. The word is out
among the players that "the guy
who holds his temper will win
this one"
The 6,309-yard Ell Paso Coun-
try Club course presents some
problems, particularly on the
green's. There has been less
than a half-inch of rain in Ell
Paso in five months. A sprinkler
system wasn't available in time
to do any good and the course is
dry. The green's are bumpy and
have little grass. If you go for

course" Jack Burke said. Cary
Middlecoff, the defending cham
pion from Memphis, Tenn, con-
fined his efforts to the putting
green. Jim Terrier didn't hit
a lick.
Bolt wasn't worried about the
course yesterday, anyway. He
shot a 81 to tie for low score
honors of the pro-amateur with
Art Wall of Pocono Manor, Pa.
Their four-under-par gave them
$3.50 each. Bolt also paired with
Blaine McNutt, amateur, Ell
Paso. for best ball of IS and
a tie for second place, earning
another $25.
Fellow golfers say Bolts chip
ping and putting have been SEN
sational of late and that's what
will do good on this course.
Bolt. the Houston player who
registers out of Maplewood, N.
j.. said he wasn't going to lose
his temper over anything any
more, at least not enough for
the gallery to know it.

He said the last time he threw
a club was seven months ago.
Since then he has won about
$4,000. II didn't even get mad

ly. Bolt has taken two tourna-
ments on the winter tour and If

but even those with good scores
grumbled about the poor green's.

Ed Quirk 10 Attempt
Redskins Comeback

Big Ed Quirk, veteran Red
skins fullback who was out OF
football last year, has signed a
1858 contract and will attempt
a comeback. club officials an
nounced today. He is the fourth
player signed for next season.
Quirk's ankle was fractured at
Kansas City two years ago
against the Chicago Bears in the
final exhibition game and he
missed most of the season. He
made a few brief appearances
near the end of the season but
was far from his best.
The big fellow stayed out of
football last year to operate a
tavern in st. Louis. but he
showed signs of weakening by
visiting the Redskins at Kansas
City when they played there en-
route from the West Coast. At
the time it was reported he
would repair the team then.
Quirk'S weight went from 245
to 275 pounds during his idle
ness and he'll have trouble she'd
ding the surplus. But Coach
Curly Lambeau was favorably
impressed by moving pictures OF
Quirk's work in a linebacker role
and the Redskins mentor plans
to use him there and shift Chuck
Drazenovich to offensive full
back.

will be q this year.

year. returned his signed con-
tract to the Redskins yesterday,
