With the final whistle of the Richard Mont

curtain was rung down on scholastic football for
81 season that saw County teams ranked as the
best in the area
Walter Johnson and Landon turned in eight

losing one each in nine and Gaithersburg losing
two of eight An amazing situation existed two
weeks ago which saw four undefeated teams in
Montgomery county but that came to an end when
Walter Johnson beat Bethesda and B-CC humbled
Blair.
Nonetheess, two unbeaten squads in the
same area is something to brag about To find
other unbeaten squads you would have to reach
out to Annapolis to find st. Mary's or far south
to the land of Thomas Jefferson where Alder
marie turned in an unbeaten season. Both these
records, however, were married by ties
BCC and Blair are surely as good once-beaten
squads as you can find and John Harvill certainly
has the best twicebeaten outfit Gaithersburg

Northwood and Sherwood can be attributed in
part to the arrival of the bug.

Cage Call

The extension of the Richard
Montgomery football season due
to the postponement of the Cath
ersburg game because of the flu
held up the start of basketball
practice as well.
Basketball Coach Carl Fahrner
wasn't able to get 6-foot.1 Center
Russ Mullican, 6-foot-2 Forward
Phil Carter or 6-foot Guard Bill
Pontius all veterans into uni
form until this week following
the close of the pigskin season.
Prospects for the coming sea
son were given a boom when so
candidates showed up with first
call on Nov. 20. Fahrner lost five
men with graduation last June
from the squad that posted a 81
record last season.
Among the missing will be II
points-a-game high scorer, Bobby
Beall, who is now at Montgomery
Junior College
DiddIe Top Prospect
The brightest prospect of the
record turnout is 6-foot Jim
Diddle who was high scorer of
the Rockville City League last
winter Coach Fahrner is unde-
cided whether to put Diddle at a
guard or center post but scrim-
ages should determine his posi-
ton within week.
Also promising are City League
performers 6-footo-2 Bill Snow
den and 6-foot-1 Steve Mohn.
Fahrner thinks that though he
has seen better individual stars
report for practice at Richard
Montgomery during his three
year stretch, the turnout this year
promises to be better balanced
than in the past In addition to
this is the fact that most of the
promising candidates are lower
Observation-Disclosures and jun
iors. Though the squad doesn't
overawe the coach with its height
it is good with several over six
feet and the squad shows good
speed.
The Rockets open their cage
season in a Varsity-JV contest
with Walter Johnson on Dec 10.
They play three more games be-
fore Christmas.

Because of the predominance
of two-platoon football in today's

defensive unit. There will be a
second team and others will be
noted by honorable mention.

pupil, land great college mate

Seventeen-year-old LeCompte
is rated as one of the finest ath-
letes who ever attended Gath

tory. Jim is a vicious tackler and
by making plays on both sides of
the field usually accounts for SO
percent of the tackles on defense
On offense the 210 pound, 6-foot-3
lineman clears the way and is
rated by Coach John Harvill as
his best blocker, tackler and all
around handyman.
This boy has got to go in col

CORDLESS HEARING AID
Worn Entirely on One Ear

Peoria, ILL.,, Especial - H. A.
Lyons, who himself has been
hard of hearing for over 25
years, today announced the per-
fection of miniature electron-
ic hearing aid that is so small
it is worn on one ear.
1t weighs but a fraction of an
ounce and can be slipped on
and off easier than a pair of
glasses. Wearer gets all-direc-
tional pickup and normal use
of telephone. There is no cloth
ing interference because it is
worn at the ear, which is the
natural way to hear.
Since the aid is tiny and is
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1957-04-25

worn tucked behind the ear, it
is practically invisible. Mr..
Lyons stated that although it is
powerful enough to fit the most
severe hearing loss, it can also
be adjusted for the millions of
slightly hard of hearing who
feel they are not deaf enough
to bother with the more cum
bersome aids.
1t is suggested, if interested
for yourself or friend, to
write to Tonemaster Manufac-
turing Company, 128 South Mon
roe Street, Dept. B-1, Peoria,
Illinois, and he will be glad to
send information at no cost or
obligation to you. - Adv.
