5uit|and Stays Alive
In Glass A Race After
Squeezing By Blades
MARYLAND BI-COUNTY
LEAGUE STANDINGS,
BY Dick SIoy

Figuring that the Maryland
Bi-County League championship
is out of reach-although Suit
land still has a chance for a tie
off it's 1913 squeeze past Bla-
densburg last night-the talk in
Prince Georges County has
turned to the Kiwanis Club
Trophy, symbolic of the County
Glass A title.
Northwestern, current holder
of the trophy, will have most to
say about the 1854 winner since
it still must take on both Bla-
densburg and Suitland, in that
order, in the next two weeks.
Dan Palumbo, Northwestern
coach, was an attentive onlook-
er among the 1900 chilled fans
in Northwestern Stadium last
night. Asked how he expected
to handle Suitland's hard-run-
ming fullback, Charlie Price,
Palumbo replied in character:
Likes Simms' Running.
II think I have a better line
than Suitland and, Price will
have lot of trouble against us.
That boy Jackie Simms looks
/ like their best runner to me.
He's awfully dangerous to the
outside.
''I think we'll beat 'em both,
period" Palumbo summed up elo-
quently.
Simms scored all of Suitland's
points as the Rams grabbed an
1877 lead by intermission and
then hung on in the cold and
slop. But it was Prices clutch
running that set up the first two
touchdoWns and controlled the
ball for Suitland in a time-con-
suming march in the fourth
quarter.
That late drive stalled on
Bladensburg's 5-yard line and
the Mustangs couldn't score in
the remaining four minutes. Dick
Felesky got away on a triple re-
verse that carried Sc yards for
an apparent touchdown but he
stepped out of bounds 81 yards
too soon.
Simms Scores Twice.
Halfback Simms ran 13 and
6 yards for scores around the
turn Of the first quarter, cap
ping sudden drives of 40 and
42 yards. Just before halftime,
Simms fought off two Bladens-
burg defenders on the goal line
to grab a fourth-down pass from
Junior Calub that produced what
was to be Suitland's final touch
down.
Fullback Jerry Hood burst
through right tackle for 55 yards
and Jack Carter kicked the con-
version that gave Bladensburg it's
only lead of the night, 7-6. in the
first quarter.
| The Mustangs other score was
Just as quick when Quarterback
John Lindsey sliced outside his
right end from the double wing
formation and went "a yards
three plays after the second-half
kickoff.
