was the fifth straight for the un-
beaten Cadets. 1t was wills first
loss in six starts.
| Last year st. Johns got off to
an unimpressive start but closed
fast to rate among the top teams
in the area. They are headed
for another fine season led by
Co-Capts. Jim Mandes and Jim
Collins.
WI Gets Quick Lead
Washington-Lee ran up a
quick 25-l3 lead in the first
quarter, paced by Bob Clements
and Tom Hyde, but the Cadets
began to squeeze into the Cen
erals 2-1-2 zone and closed to
within five points, 1926. at half
time.
Up to that point the Cadets
were finding it tough to keep up
and only Collins managed to find
the basket with any consistency
But then Mandes began to catch
fire and between the two they
dealt the Generals out.
WI saw its lead whitfield to
1884 shortly after the third
period got under way. Mandes
sank two foul shots to put the
Cadets out in front. 1875, for
the first time since the opening
minutes of the game.
Lead Changes Hands
The lead changed hands three
times after that until John Car
Iretta hit on a layup to give St
Johns a 1919 edge and the
Generals never regained the lead
after that. Collins, Mandes and
Mike Ryan found the basket in
order and the Cadets stretched
.Itheir advantage to $3.50.

Citizens of Falls Church real
lie their little high school
George Mason, will be outgunned
for the team trophy week from
Saturday in the Metropolitan
Interscholastic door Track
Meet. But don't bet that the
small Mustang squad will not
bring home any gold medals.
George Mason was the first to
send in completed entry blank
from the expected field of 20
schools, and included in the six
individual entries was the name
of Ray Peterson. considered one
on the finest track prospects in
the South.
Last year, during the first run
ming of the high school section
of The Star Games, Peterson
was Mason's only entry. He wor
the 60-yard dash in SIS seconds
and was leading his heat in the
100 before a pulled muscle anc
Armstrong; Berry Williams
caught him 10 yards from the
wire. Williams went on to win
the 100-yard finals.
Peterson in Sprints Again
This time Peterson will par.
ticipate in the same events and
will be Joined by Tom Webster
and Eddie German in the 1000
yard run. Jerry Olson and War
ner Butler in the mile, and
Power Shuts in the 600.
They constituted Mason's en-
tire indoor track team until
Steve Hedetniemi began training
several weeks ago. too late to be
included on the entry blank
Now, however, Coach John
Skanga thinks Hedetniemi may
be his best miller and he plans
to appeal to Meet Director
Hardy Pearce to change the
lineup.
AS for Peterson, Skanga says,
"Pete is the best high school
dash man in the State, without
a doubt. In fact, he proved it
last year."
This s foot, ITO pound speed
boy swept IL l00-yard dashes in
a row following his defeat by
Williams last January, He won
nine of 10 tries in the 900 dur
ing the spring.
Under 10 Seconds Twice
His times in the 100 included
two at 80 seconds-at the dis
trict meet in Orange and at the
Junior AAU championships in
Richmond. The record in the
district meet was not recognized
for a reason still unclear to
Skanga, but the one at Rich
mond was official and it was
negotiated against the top dash
men In the State.
Skanga also belives Webster
and Shuts will do we'll in The
Star Games scholastic meet.
Shuts, a transfer from Wheaton
High in Montgomery County,
says he won a 440-yard run at
the Maryland State meet in 81
seconds. Webster is trying the
1000 after excelling in the half
mile last spring. his best time
being about 1908.
