Clash Tomorrow in
SchooIboy Feature
By Bob Henson

Oy WI thAbSSt
George Washington and st.
Johns, the two top-ranked area
high school football teams, coll
lide head-on at 8 pm. tomorrow
at GW's stadium in Alexandria.
It is the feature attraction in
heavy weekend schedule.
1t is probably as even a match
as will come off this season. Both
have big, fast-charging lines and
both have versatile backfields.
The line play may be the key
to the outcome. In Jerry Lawter
and Bubba Healy, each has an
outstanding guard. The Presi-
dents Lawter, a 190-pounder,
was an All-Virginia State selec-
ton last year. Healy, 1877 pounds.
is a shoo-in for An-Catholic
League this season and perhaps
All-Metropolitan.
The other starting guard for
No. l rated CIV will be Dan
Jones. The remaining starting
linemen will be AL Judd and Bob
Garda, ends; Dick Rinker' and
Charley Armstrong, tackles, and
Co-Capt. John Cox, center.
This lineup averages about 200
pounds.
barley, Webb at Quarterback.
For the Cadets it will be Al
Didden at the other guard posi-
ton, Mark Murtagh and AL Sci
leppi, tackles; John Frazier and
John Moore, ends, and John Ro-
dano, center. q
The Presidents starting back
field is expected to be Butch
barley at quarterback, spelled
by Mike Agee; Mike Gibbons and
Co-Capt. Alan Reynolds at the
halves and Dave Beach at full
back.
ST. Johns will counter with
Dick Webb at quarterback,
backed by John Hanlon; Jerry
Dillon and John Renehan at the
halfback positions, and either
Jim Kane or Bruce Hunt at
fullback.
Both coaches, Jim Ford OF CIV
and Joe Gallagher of st. Johns.
declared their teams were in
good physical condition. Each
has high regard for the others
team and would make no predic-
tions as to the winner. The
breaks probably will be the de-
Gliding factor.
WI Plays Jefferson.
George Washington's only loss
in six games was 28-14 deci-
sion to a highly rated Thomas
jefferson team. st. Johns cur
rently is riding a nine-game
winning streak, five of that num-
ber this season.
Another top game tomorrow
night will be the same Thomas
jefferson team meeting Wash
ington-Lee at wills stadium.
Thomas Jefferson suffered its
first defeat in five outings in
losing, 1877. to Hermitage last
week. WI has So record. its
loses to st. Johns, 1870, and
Portsmouth, 14-0.
Both will be putting up a scrap
to keep recognition-Thomas
Jefferson its mathematical
chance for the State champion
ship, Washington-Lee for the
Northern Virginia title. "A
