SHOTS

~~~R. M. H. s.~>~

Annapolis High School, playing
against its former coach, Carl
Fahrner, edged the Richard Mont.
gomery Rockets 47-36 last Friday
at Annapolis. This loss was the
Rockets sixth in a row. The
game was close all the way until
the middle of the third quarter
when the hosts, led by speedy
little Jim Dollar, scored back-to.
back baskets and pulled ahead to
stay.
In the last quarter Annapolis
played possession ball to try to
draw the Rockets out of their
tight defense. They succeeded
because with the game enter
ing tire waning minutes the
Rockets became careless and
started throwing the ball away
and this was all Annapolis
needed to clinch the game.
Even though they lost, the bas.
ketball team from Rockville spent
a very enjoyable day visiting An
napolis. After leaving school at
about 1890 pm. the five-car cara
van carrying the teams made
pretty good time and arrived in
Annapolis at 2 pm. They visit
ed the Capitol and spent a good
deal of time walking around the
campus of the Naval Academy.
Then they took short drive out
to the Bay Bridge.
BY this time il was nearing
4:30 and since dinner was at 5
pm. the cars with the teams
proceeded to drive to their res
taurant. However before we
had driven five miles, misfOr-
tune occurred. Fred MiIwee,
varsity player who was driving,
ran over nail and it ripped
a large hole in his tire. Roger
HutchesOn changed the tire
quickly and they arrived at thr
restaurant despite the delay at
little after 5 pm. They ate
and then drove to the AnnapO-
lis gym.

Record Year,
Scans Horizon
BY WALTER BREEDE, Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Wind-
ing up another record year. busi-
ness scanned the economic hori-
zon hopefully this week for signs
of more prosperity in 1857.
Most OF the signs looked good.
Consumers head into the new
year with incomes higher than
ever before. Once Christmas was
paid for, their pocketbooks
should be in healthy shape al
though with prices moving up
their dollars might buy a little
less.
New highs were indicated for
production and employment.
The latest reports on Christ
mas shopping tended to dispel
earlier notions that the boom
in consumer purchasing had lost
its punch. Department store
sales across the Nation in the
last full week before Christmas
showed a gain of IA per cent
over the like week last year. Fol
many stores, the Monday before
Christmas was a record-breaker
too.
Elsewhere on the business
scene this week, a couple of po-
tential trouble spots became ap-
parent.
There were signs that the
boom n new car sales might be
running out of steam.
In the same vein was a report
from General Electric Co. an
nouncing that 1900 production
workers in GEES television re-
ceiver department would be laid
off indefinitely starting January
18. The reason: A leveling of in
TV sales on all makes in the
past two months. Industry stocks
of unsold TV sets are currently
the highest on record.
