Virginia Schools
In Spotlight On
16-Game Gard

Because they are the first to
begin league play, the North
ern Virginia Group I schools get
the attention as the high school
football season gets off with is
games today and tonight.
And to pinpoint it further,
the quarterbacks figure to step
into the center of the spotlight
lin four games tonight in near
by Virginia.
Wayne Ballard will direct an
defensive foursome at Washing
ton-Lee which possibly could be
the best backfleld in Coach Bob
Waldorf's four seasons with the
Generals. Waldorf stresses the
|'possibly" part of that state
lment.
Annandale at CIV
While Fairfax will be trying to
spoil wills opener, Annandale
will invade George Washington's
stadium in an effort to improve
lon a 300 Shoutout administered
by CIV a year ago. Mount YER
non will entertain Wakefield and
Falls Church will be host to
James Monroe. the Group II out
if1t from Fredericksburg.
Mount Vernon was beaten
handily by Wakefield a year ago
but this time stands a much
better chance of knocking the
Warriors out of the big Three"
category, starting with a vic
tory tonight. Fred Roop could
be the finest quarterback in that
area as he leads speedy Mount
Vernon backfield, but Wake
fields John Wood intends to
give him an argument.
Washington-Lee and George
Washington. the other members
of the big Three" across the
river, both are heavily favored.
IGW'S margin over Annandale
will be dictated probably by the
success of the debut of Mike
lDelnegro. who moves up to re-
place the graduated Mike Agee.
GOnzaga Meets AnacOstia
The feature tomorrow is the
Gonzaga- Anacostia game at
Anacostia in which it will be
learned how much two key in
ljuries have affected the former
and just about what kind of
fight the latter will put up in the
East Division of the Interhigh
League.
Gonzaga, last years Catholic
League champion, was expected
to have a good club remaining
this season after graduation took
away nine f1rst-stringerS and
much of the depth. That was
before Halfback Jim Eppard
and End Billy Moore were in
\ jured recently.
Also tomorrow is the Mont
gomery County Football JAM
boree at Montgomery Blair. 1t
has been reported this is the
last year that the jamboree
will be held, and therefore the
last time six Montgomery County
teams will be seen on one field
in one afternoon.
Bethesda Chevy Chase and
Gaithersburg square of in the
first game" at l pm, followed
by Richard Montgomery Blair
and Wheaton, Sherwood, each
two quarters in length.
