Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-11-03

e 1t was supposed TO lose.
/ Though they've both had bad
seasons, the Trojans and the
Rockets will bring spirit if moth
ing else to Saturday nights Ag
Center rivalry. Both squads are
currently plagued by injuries.
They are fairly evenly matched:
Richard Montgomery owns one
win, three-loss, one-tie record.
Gaithersburg sports one win, four
losses, and a tie. AS in all tradi-
tional rivalries, the team most
''up" for the game will win.
Last week Richard Montgom-
cry bounced back from its $40
Laurel humiliation to hold Suit
land to a 90 deadlock on a Sog-
gy Ag Center grid. Suitland had
previously beaten B-CC and lost
to Blair among County elevens.
Last Friday was big night for
Gaithersburg. The Trojans put
their first mark in the win col
umn, surprising La Plata 10.
Bobby Truitt logged the leather
to pay dirt, climaxing a 60-yard
second-half drive. Jerome KEEP
hart neatly booted one between
the uprights for the extra point.
Wheaton is probably still shak-
ing its head over Saturdays 200
defeat at the hands of DeMatha.
The loss was the Knights first
of the season. DeMatha went in
to the game with an unimpres-
SiVe Gil record. Wheaton was
hurt early in the game by the
loss of Don Wilson, shaken up
on the opening play.
If comparative scores mean
anything Wheaton will lose by
touchdown to Oxon Hill tomor-
row. DeMatha also beat Oxon
Hill, but only by 20-6. To explode
that theory: LaPlata beat Oxon
Hill 1876 while Wheaton beat La
Plata 1876.
Another of last weeks upsets,
this one in favor of a County
team, was B-CCs 1912 squeak
past Bladensburg. Bladensburg,
which was knocked out of first
place in the Bi-County League by
the Barons, had a chance to tie
the game when they scored
I'D in the last seconds of play.
The conversion, however, was no
good. John McGarry scored a
Baron touchdown and an extra
point; Steve Knoebbler raced for
the other B-CC score with block
ed punt.
B-CC will run into a tough foe
Saturday afternoon in Wakefield.
The new Virginia school owns
victories over Falls Church,
Northwestern, Bulls High, and
Annandale, with a lone loss to
George Washington. Wakefield
beat Northwestern 1918; B-CC
lost to Northwestern 14-12.
In Laurel, Sherwood will meet
a hot-and.cold team tomorrow
night at the Ag Center. While
Laurel has looked impressive
smearing Richard Montgomery
$40 and knocking Charlotte Hall
800, they've faltered against Oxon
Hill, tying 1912. Sherwood and
Laurel have both beaten Harve
De Grace. Laurel whipped Cath
ersburg 1870; Sherwood was held
to Sc tie by the Trojans.
Blair took over first place in
the Bi-County League without
even playing a league opponent
when B-CC surprised Bladens-
burg. Perhaps the Blazers wish
ed they HAD played a Bi-County
foe. Coolidge came over from
~ ~ anu IltIh Dldll W a 1910
tie. Coolidge is without a vic.
tory this year; Blair had won
three and lost two before Sat.
urday'S tie. Ed Ricketts, and Steve
Stokes accounted for the Blair
tbs; Barry Betters booted the
extra point.
The Blazers take on one more
out-ofCounty opponent before
the traditional B.CC clash on Nov.
H. Blair meets Frederick Sat
urday afternoon in Silver Spring.
Frederick has already bowed to
three County teams, Richard
Montgomery, B.CC, and Wheaton,
and Blair should have little trou-
BILE finding the winning range
again.
Carver has its traditional home
coming game tomorrow after.
noon in Rockville against Win.
chester. The Eagles have met
and lost-to the Virginia school
previously this season. A home
coming queen will be crowned at
tomorrows game and other ac.
tivities will celebrate the event.
