The traditional Richard Mont.
gomery-Gaithersburg basketball
game played last Friday at Rims
was won by the Rockets 47-43.
This avenged the Rockville de-
feat at the hands of the Trojans
in football.
The Rockets gym was
packed with enthusiastic spec
tatOrs. The cheering was so
loud that the buZzer on the
scOrebOard couldn't BIZ heard by
the players. The referees had
to wave their arms to tell the
teams when the quarters were
over.
Throughout the game the fans
spirits were kept high by the
Rockets basketball band. They
played many hot numbers such
as Seventeen" and Rock Around
the Clock" Seated in the middle
of the band playing the trumpet
was John Preston, band director
at Richard Montgomery. The
sight of his small frame (6-ft.-4
with scarlet face from blowing
hard amused many spectators.
At half.time the drum maj
Orettes put on a fine display of
talent in marching and baton
twirIing. They got a big hand
from the crowd.
This Friday the Rockets jour
ney to Sherwood to play the War
riors. There is also small rivalry
between these two teams. Last
year the teams split two games.
Each team won at home.
In the preliminary of last Fri
days game the Rockets j. V. set
an example for their big broth
ers, beating Gaithersburg j.v.
1874.

Blair travels to Bladensburg.
The weatherman was the big
winner in last weeks competition.
Three of Tuesdays games and
three of Fridays games were
postponed because of snow and
ice which prevented visiting
teams from keeping their appoint
ments.
RMHS Edges Gaithersburg
Richard Montgomery will have
a rough time against Sherwood
tomorrow night in Sandy Spring.
But the Rockets did have their
morale boosted last week when
they edged their traditional
rivals, Gaithersburg, 47.43. OF
course, the Warriors aren't feel
ing too bad about handing
Damascus its first defeat of the
season, and a resounding one,
63-40.
1t was Richard Montgomery's
second win against seven losses,
Gaithersburg's fourth loss
against single win, and Sher-
woods fifth win in seven games.
Damascus was previously unde-
feated in six games.
Like all RMHS- Gaithersburg
clashes, Fridays tilt was close.
The Trojans led 1921 at half
time, but a last minute squirt by
the Rockets put the game on ice.
Llyn Zuck netted IS to lead the
winners, Bob Truitt and James
LeCompete each scored 10 to
pace the losers.
Damascus Meets PoOlesvilIe
Damascus will attempt to climb
back on the victory wagon tomor-
row night against Poolesville in
Poolesville. Poolesville's game
last week against the Maryland
School for the Deaf was post
poned. The hosts at tomorrow's
game are having an unsuccessful
season, looking best in beating
Lisbon 42-37 and losing only 81
50 to Sherwood.

The Methodist five had little
trouble putting the first-half
crown on ice, blasting next-to-last
Christian Church 47-6. The win
ners' attack was led by their
"three-B offense," Blau, Baker,
and Bradshaw.
In an overtime match last week,
st. Mary's CYO ended its first
round of play with a victory, by
the narrowest of margins, sneak
ing past the Rockville Baptist
Church, 40-39. At the end of the
regulation four quarters, the
score was knotted at SO apiece.
CYO had to win the hard way:
the Baptists were leading at half

largely because Cook County
Chicago did not come
through with its customary
Democratic pluralities.
This year Cook County gave
Eisenhower 23l. 582 votes while
Stevenson in almost complete
returns rolled up 445,821.

seems to be dying down in the

others Kefauver has the ad-
vantage. But everyone who
knows politics at all recalls
that Kefauver won victory
after victory in the presiden-
tial primaries in his own party
in 1852, while Stevenson didn't
enter a single one and yet won
the nomination at the conven-
ton.
Why don't people vote in
the primaries? The Minnesota
primary showed that rs per
cent of the Republicans who
voted in the 1852 election
stayed away from the polls in
the primary this year. The
Democrats polled 70 per cent
of their 1852 election vote
largely because of the Kefau-
ver-Stevenson battle.
In the Wisconsin primary
this year the Democrats polled
So per cent of their own 1852
election total, while the Re-
publicans brought out ass per
cent of their 1852 election vote.
These DEMONSTRATING those
given a couple of weeks ago
in these dispatches-would
seem to indicate that for some
reason the Minnesota Repub-
licans were indifferent, but
the Democrats were not. Even
without a contest. the Repub-
licans in Wisconsin, however.
brought out 45.6 per cent of
their vote, while the Demo-
Gratis had So per cent of their
strength at the polls-and
they had no contest, either.
Illinois. without a contest in
either party, brought out only
a third in each party.
What's the explanation for
the greater interest in Wis
consin and Illinois over Min
neSota and why did Wisconsin
bring out such a bigger ratio
in both parties? These are the
questions the political man
ayers of both parties would
like to have answered.
