Eddie Crescenze, who was one of
the shortest ever to play basket
ball at the University Of Mary
land, thinks his toughest games
are behind him.
For instance, a real good Suit
land club was one of Oxon Hills
FIVE victims. That score was Oh
81. Oxon Hill beat Annapolis
54-51 and High Point, 45-40. The
other triumphs were over the
alumni, 55-51, and Lackey, 6l-49.
Crescenze graduated from
Maryland in 1851 and spent a
semester working at Greenbelt
Junior High before coming to
Oxon Hill. He coached baseball
and soccer until Ted Fox trans
ferred to the new High Point
High late last November, leaving
the basketball job in his lap.
The result has been the most
successful beginning in basket
ball ever recorded at Oxon Hill,
as far as Crescenze knows. Tied
had the Glass B champs my
first year here, but I don't think
he had this good a start" the
little coach figures.

Crescenze admits he inherited
excellent material and that they
were in good physical condition
by the time he took over.

to the Hoyas on the Georgetown
floor. and with tomorrow nights
game at AU the Eagles have
hopes OF doing better in more
familiar surroundings.
So far. though, the Eagles
haven't done any better in re-
turn games than they did the
first time out. Last night they
faced Mount st. Mary's at En-
mittsburg and lost, 87-72, al
most the same margin by which
they bowed to the Mounts. $3.50,
when they met earlier. The set
back left AU with a 2-1l record,
compared to the 8-3 figure
Georgetown will take into the
game at $3.50 pm. tomorrow.
The Eagles stayed abreast Of
the Mounts through the first
half, holding a 44-44 tie at inter-
mission, but thereafter the Ma

become too blind shy, but here
we find ourselves taking a final
fling at the ducks like lot OF
other addicts. We were going
to say suckers" but this would
hardly apply to duck hunters.
They're worse than this.
One of the best fishing stories
we've heard lately comes from q
duck hunter. and is related to
us by George Fremault of New
York. Dale Foster. a hunter
from Kansas City. Mo-, was re-
trieving a duck when his eight
foot boat overturned in a lake
not far from his home. He was
Immediately rescued from his
icy bath. but his Model II VIM
chester pump gun, loaded with
super-speed shells, reposed on
the bottom in IL feet of water.
There 1t stayed for 10 days,
during which time Foster fished
around for it. Finally. using q
hook attached to a long pole. he
succeeded in snagging the gun
through its trigger guard. In
raising the gun 1t was dis
charged under water, but luck
lily was unframed. One thing
1t certainly proved was that
modern shotguns are tough and
modern shells are really water
proof.
The special crew of Federal
game management agents from
the Boston and Atlanta regional
Offices of the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service who were
sent into Maryland to handle
a critical situation with respect
to violations of the migratory
bird regulations, is still very
| much on the job and will con-
| tinue to be for some time, we
hope. However, the turning in
of their deputy Federal badges

year, because Of State political
pressure, doesn't mean they are
not cooperating with the Fed
eral men. Maryland law per-
mits batting up to within 200
yards of a blind and Maryland'S

| If batting is kept that far away.
But bag and possession limits
are the same for Maryland as
the Federal limits, and Mary
lands wardens won't hesitate to
uphold the State law in any re-
spect. Actually. the two groups
cooperate very well. even
though the Maryland men are
