DISTRICT INTERHIGH LEAGUE
DIVISION u STANDINGS


In Halfback Tremaine Finch
and Fullback Larry O'Cleary.
Tech High has two promising
football players who by operat-
ing behind a sturdy veteran line
might possibly carry the Train
ers to the playoffs of the Inter-
high division y League.
Early in the season Coach Stan
Ziobro said the key to his club
was getting these players to run
like he wanted. The team started
off slowly despite victory over
Falls Church in its opener. but
Ziobro was pointing for the Will
son game. Apparently satisfied
with his running attack, he
worked on the defense this week
in preparation for Wilson.
1--WE hope we have the team
primed for this game" he said
then. "If we get over this one
we'll be in good spot"
Yesterday Tech was primed
and won, 60. Although Finch
and O'Cleary were the standouts
in the backf1eld, it was the line
play that deserved most Of the
credit.
Tech Receivers Four FumbIeS.
Defensively, the line held Will
son in it's own territory for most
of the game and on several oc-
casions hit so hard and fast that
the Tigers backs fumbled. At
least four fumbleS were re-
covered by Tech, one Of which led
to the games only touchdown.
Late in the first quarter Tech
recovered a bobble on Wilson'S
14-yard line. Two plays later
O'Cleary bulled through center
from the IL for a touchdown.
The Trainers had possession of
the ball in most of the last three
periods and twice got within the
Tigers 10, only to lose the ball,
once on an interception and
again on tumble.
Tackles Charlie Gildon and
Gordon Gibson and Center Ben
Abel were StandoutS on the line.
O'Cleary and Finch with help at
times from Emmett DeMoss and
Tom CalderWood gained most OF
the yardage for Tech.
Bob Rogers, although favoring
an injured ankle, ran well. He
got able assistance from Bob
Chatfeld, Jack HauSer and Lou
Luce the few times Wilson had
its attack moving.
Sonny Chatfield Hurt.
Tackle Sonny Chatf1eld of Will
son suffered a mild conclusion
late in the fourth period and was
removed to Georgetown Hospital
but later was permitted to go
home.
Yesterdays game was the 18th
between the two teams in a
rivalry started in 1887. Tech
has won eight, Wilson six with
two of the games ending in
a tie.
Two other games in the In
terhigh Division I League re-
suited in Roosevelt beating Cool
idge, 25-6, and Western taking
Chamberlain, 14-0, both played
on the winners fields. Anacos-
tia lost. 1870. in a non-league
game at Gonzaga.
Phil Perlo, Roosevelt quarter
back, recovered from a bruised
chest in time to lead his Riders
to an easy victory over Coolidge.
Perlo scored twice. on an IL
yard key play in the first quar-
ter and on a 4-yard sneak
in the third. Richie Morgan
climaxed a 55-yard drive with
7-yard run for a touchdown
In the first and Dick Evans
added the final Roosevelt score
in the last period. COOLIDGE
averted a shutout near the end
OF the game when Willie Ed
wards intercepted a pass and
ran go yards unmolested.
LOmbardi Breaks Collar Bone.
Western remained tied with
Eastern for the lead in the east
ern half of the league, but the
victory over Chamberlain was
costly one as Sal Lombardi
the Raiders leading runner, suf-
tered a broken collar bone.
Roger Haney scored all the
points in the game with touch
down runs of Z and IA yards
and both extra points in the
first half.
In Division II play, defending
champion Armstrong won its
second straight of the season by
drubbing Spingarn, 300, with a
24-point second half. Conlin
(Red Nike Hagler supplied
most Of the ground attack and
scored one touchdown. The
other four were scored by Wal
ter Foster, Lowell Wheeler, Roy
Manley and Jim McDaniels.
CardoZo another Division II
team, met with a 24-6 defeat at
Baltimore Dunbar. Cardozo's
score came on a 15-yard pass
from Delano Kittrell to Jim
Dunlap in the last quarter.
One other Interhigh team was
ir action this afternoon and an
other scheduled to play tonight
as Bell Vocational travelled to
Baltimore for a meeting with
Thomas Edison and Eastern is
due at Northwestern Stadium in
College Park for an encounter
