When Hammond High School
opened in Alexandria last fall
for the first time. the pinch
in George Washington's ath-
letic program wasn't felt i'm
mediately despite the loss of
some highly promising athletes.
George Washington had the
nucleus for a reasonably good
football team last year and
finished with a ga record.
This year the Presidents are
hurting.
Coach Jim Ford of the per-
petual smile starts his seventh
year at CIV. He is faced with
the leanest season of his career
and before it is over the smile
may have turned to q frown.
unless someone comes along
we don't know about now our
backf1eld will be our biggest
headache. We also need ends"
Ford dolefully explains. The
middle Of the line should turn
out all right"
Gets Four Transfers
In the someone comes along"
category falls four transfer
students. Joe Baroody and
Mike Thoms from Gonzaga,
Jim Thyng from Seattle, Wash,
and Ron Won Dreau from
Pennsylvania. AL are backfield
candidates except Baroody, an
end.
CIV lost rs lettermen by
graduation. Only two with
experience are returning,
Tackle Chandler Van Orman
and Center Windsor Domaine.
Van Orman. 6-foot-2, 1876
pounds, may be the fastest on
the team and Ford is contem-
plating shifting him to the
backfield.
Another possible shift would
find Bob Clore, 6-foot-l, l50-
pound quarterback, moving to
end. The other Tanker might
turn out to be Don Dill. 5-foot-
10, ITO pounds, who has good
speed.
Needs 4 Quarterback
Perhaps the biggest single
need is 70 ra quarterback. an
unusual situation at CIV which
has seen such fine field generals
in past years as Butch barley,
Jim Motley. Mike Agee and last
season, Mike Delnegro.
The luck Of the Irish may
still be with Ford and he'll
come up with an adequate
quarterback from among Al
bert Elliott. Clore (if he isn't
shifted to end and Thyng.
CIV opens its season Sep
TENDER Is at home against
Annandale. Ford hasn't lost an
opener in his six-year regime,
a string that might be broken
this time.

Farm Costs Higher
Than A Year Ago
Report Is Compiled by w. I. Me-
Allister, Extension Specialist

Farm cost rates this spring
were slightly higher, in relation
TO prices received, than they were
year ago.
The present relationship is
about equal to the average rela-
tionship that prevailed during the
20-year period Immediately pre-
5eding World War II.
The report came from Willard
T. McAllister, extension specialist
in farm management at the Univer-
sity of Delaware. He said the pro-
duction cost-price relationship is
substantially less favorable to
farmers than it was during, and
Immediately following, World War
H. Costs of production items, in
terest, taxes, and wage rates are
about 81 per cent higher now than
they were 10 years ago. But aver
age prices received by farmers are
about the same as they were then
the specialist said. However, there
is a noticeable exception that many
Delaware farmers are quite aware
of-broiler prices have declined
almost 80 pei cent in the post war
period.
