WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS
BY DICK STAY

Someone dropped the tip the
other day that this is the 25th
year of existence for Roosevelt
High School. It's true. but many
OF our elders prefer to remember
September. 1882. as the time old
Business High moved from its
quarters at Ninth and Rhode
Island to the present buildings
at Thirteenth and Upshur NV
That the name Roosevelt was
affixed apparently was Incidental
at the time.
/ Business High frequently had
trouble winning athletic con-
tests, we are told, because the
bulk of the student body was
female. preparing for secretarial
careers. This situation carried
over into the years under the
new roof and doubtless has been
a contributing factor to Roose-
velt's winning just three Inter
high championships in Is years.
1t is odd that all three cham
pionship teams were captained
by a Perlo. Hymie Perlo led these
great basketball squads of 1882
40 and 1940-41. while Phil was
the spark of the Rough Riders
football winner in 1858. Quite a
feather in the cap of the Perlo
family, but with a bit more good
fortune Roosevelt could have
picked up a batch of other titles
i'll other years.
After Herman Littman left
coaching for military service in
194l, Red Auerbach guided the
Riders to second place in the
league in his first of two years
at the school. Littman returned
in 1916 for the second of what
was to be three tours Of duty at
Roosevelt and his 1948 basket
ball team. headed by Billy Paugh
and Bill Hibbs, surprised every
one by taking second to Gen.
trail.
Gabe Ferazzi coached that
Central team and again in 1889
for the title, and then he came
to Roosevelt. Gabe's basketball
teams at Roosevelt were runners
up to Techs Fabulous Five" in
1852. to Wilson in 1853 and to
Armstrong in 1855. His '53 club
won 10 games in a row before
losing to Wilson, 47-38, in a
tremendous upset in the Inter-
high finals. The Riders had
cleaned the bench against Will
son in the regular season.
X \ X
AS for football, Phil Perlo will
tell you that the 1853 champion
ship team was probably not as
good as the one the year before.
But 1852 was the year of Lonnie
HerZbrun and Mike Sommer at
Wilson and the Tigers beat
Roosevelt. 1876, on Herzbrun's
96-yard run WITH 35 seconds
to go in the first half and a
Herzbrun-to-Sommer fiat pass
for IS yards and the winning
touchdown with 1885 remaining
in the fourth quarter.
Doc Brown, still at Roosevelt
as a driver training teacher, re-
members the schools first foot
ball season, which was 1888. He
helped coach the team with
Lynn Woodwork, now principal
at Eastern. and the season was
marked by a $50 defeat at the
hands of Central.
1--WE were up to II o'clock that
night TAPPING INJURIES" Brown
recalled the other day. Il never
saw boys take such a beating"
But his most vivid recollection
Of that year was an incident
during that $50 beating. "Cen-
trail had a fullback named Bull
Kocsis and on one play our little
halfback, Eddie Lyman, tackled
the son Of a gun in the open
field. Eddie landed on his head.

The old saying Baby needs

Weetman, Mike Souchak, the

He scared 3 strokes over par

trifled the gallery with a nine

Starting on the trip in, Weet-
man, with his truly great APP

only because the ball hung on

OWING
WITH ROD THOMAS

It's a big week end on the
mapleways, with action slated fol-
every brand of bowler in duckpins
and tenpins.
An idea imported from Balti-
more will be introduced in the
second annual Presidential
Classic Sunday at the Anacostia
Spillway. There will be three
special prizes for Washington en-
trants whose highest averages
are under 100 for 80 or more
games, but they will be eligible,
too. for the major awards. Any
bowler qualifying for either may
select the higher.
It's a strong inducement for
the near star" who constantly
battles heavy odds in open tour
naments, The plan has worked
well in Baltimore, as attested by
bumper crops of entries.
The Presidential Classic is a
six-game test, rolled in one block,
with guaranteed major prizes of
$50, $50 and $50 and an entry
fee Of S8.75. A seven-game af-
fair last year. it was won by Billy
Watson with score of 996, an
average of 1922. 1t was one of
half a dozen major victories
scored by Big Billy in a re-
markable season.
The inaugural Presidential
attracted only As entries. This
time a much larger field seems
assured, laced by talent from
Baltimore. Bowling will start
at 2 pm. with no entries ac-
copied after 8.

For women duckpinners it
will be the inaugural Sunday of
the Greenway, Women's Handi-
cap, thought to be the first
handicap held here strictly for
women. Three-fourth handi-
caps will be computed from a
scratch of 100. It's a four-game
contest with an entry fee of
81 and guaranteed awards of
$50, $40 and SIS. plus two mer-
chandise prizes. Action will
start at 2 pm.
Although a handicap, the
tournament would seem to be
on a par, in class. with open

This question is being asked
by sponsors of pay-raise legis-

Federal employe leaders.
President Eisenhower has in
structed his cabinet committee
on pay to study the various Fed
eral pay systems (there are at
least 80 different systems) The
Joker in this is that the study
will take at least until october
or November, long after Con-
gress has left for the year.
Since the administration has
strongly urged that there be no

the study Is completed. this is
viewed by some Government en-
ploye leaders as still another
move in the administrations
