CorsettY's Recovery
Gives Riders Neville
In Interhigh Football
DISTRICT INTERHIGH DIVISION u
STANDINGS.
By Bob Honson

New blood has been injected
into the backf1eld of the Roose-
velt High football team at a
time when a TRANSMISSION was
necessary if the Riders expected
to stay in contention for the
Interhigh division u playoffS.
In three weeks the Riders
meet Tech in what probably will
be a decisive game. BY that
time Coach Lou Chacos should
have Jim Corsetty at his peak
and teamed with the versatile
Phil Perlo, one of the better
high school quarterbacks, Roose-
velt should be tough to beat.
Corsetty, recently recovered
from an appendectomy, saw
limited action for the first time
in RooSevelt's 25-6 victory over
Coolidge last week. Yesterday
at Eastern he scored twice, once
on a pass from Perlo, and played
most of the game as the Riders
scored a 20-13 victory.
Eastern Draws First Blood.
Eastern drew first blood when
Ronnie Winters recovered a
loose ball on the first play of the
game on Roosevelt's 18-yard
line. -Four plays later Fullback
Bob Ellis plunged over for a
touchdown and Quarterback Ed
Mulligan converted to give East
ern a TO lead.
Roosevelt tied it up in the Sec
ond quarter mainly on a 48-yard
pass play from Perlo to Corsetty.
jim Ross bucked over from the
four and Jerry Peake converted
to give the Riders a TT tie at
the half.
In the third quarter the Perlo-
Corsetty combination broke the
game wide open. Myron Levin
recovered a missed pitch-out on
Eastern'S IL and Corsetty went
over his own right tackle on the
next play for the score. Peake
again converted. A few minutes
later Abe Leach recovered an
Eastern tumble on the 10. Perlo's
pass to Corsetty on the next play
was good for a touchdown. Peake
missed the conversion.
RamblerS Sure on Passes.
The Ramblers tried gamely in
the last quarter to get back in
contention and managed to get
q touchdown on four desperation
passes by Mulligan that put the
ball on the 3 where Carmel Hays
lette took it over. Mulligan's at
tempted conversion hit the up
rights.
Other Division I games re-
suited in Coolidge wearing down
Chamberlain, 300, and Ana
costa routing Bell, 800; while
Western blanked st. Albans, 300,
in outside competition.
In Division II play, Cardoza
tied Phelps, 1919. Armstrong
beat Carvar, 1870, and Spingarn
dropped an 30 decision to Doug
lass against Baltimore teams.
Coolidge Has Little Trouble.
Two 60-yard punts by Lucky
Mazzietto we're the only high
spots of Chamberlain's fourth
straight defeat as Coolidge had
no trouble holding the Volts in
their own territory.
Anacostia won its first game
In four starts as Fullback Jim
Gamer plunged for two touch
downs and set up two others
with passes.
Western gained it's fourth win
In as many tries by limiting it's
touchdowns to the second and
third quarters. Bob Sargent
bucked l yard for one score
and passed to Al Eichner for
another. Bob Marchoux re-
covered Dan Leary'S tumble in
midair and ran 10 yards for the
final touchdown.
Phelps, which tied powerful
Dunbar last week, scored first
but later had to come from be-
hind to pull even with a tena-
ciouS Cardozo team. Charlie
Coates bucked l yard for the
opening touchdown and John
Harrison added the other two
Phelps scores and the extra
point. A 54-yard run by Herb
Drummond gave Cardozo a 1876
lead in the third quarter.
Conlin (Red Mike) Hagler
lived up to his reputation by
scoring all three Armstrong
touchdowns on runs of 80, 40
and 20 yards as the Washington
team remained unbeaten, united
and unscored on in three games.
