lineup that has won two matches

excellent chance to beat the

years Baltimore has only two
teams in the round of eight as
the new methods of play. six
members of each team at home
and six away, has helped give
the District clubs an edge.
Three of next Sundays matches
could go either way, Columbia
and Manor; the aforementioned
match and Kenwood VS.. Bethes-
da. Prince Georges. which now
has beaten both last years win
ner and runnerup, should handle
Bonnie View, the other Balti-
more team, with ease.
