orous and persuasive appeal
for restoration Of deletec
items"
DR.. Hansen said he was
against any change In the
position Of the board on any
items as Originality proposed
by 1t to the Commissioners"
The fight shaping up will
center on three main items
These include q request for
IS elementary teachers, so ele-
mentary school counselors and
a replacement for Hine Junior
high school, Seventh and c
streets Sc.
There is reason to believe the
Commissioners can be talked
into restoring the IS teaching
positions-designed to bring
classroom size to 81 students
for one teacher. The ratio this
year is 32.4 pupils to one
teacher.
This summer, the House Dis
mittee refused to grant new
trict Appropriation Subcom-
teaching positions because it
felt more parttime classes
would be created as the school
building program Jagged behind
increasing eArollments. School
officials, however, found class
room space inexisting buildings
and managed to reduce the
parttimel load. Eventually,
most Of the new teaching posi-
tons were restored by Con-
gress. Now, q similar study
has been completed and DR..
Hansen assured board members
yesterday the IS new teachers
would not increase the parttime
load If hired.
Board President Walter N.
Tobriner pointed out yester-
day the Commissioners have
approved the eventual goal Of
30 pupils to one teacher. He
indicated he felt the Com
missioners were therefore bound
to restore the IS teaching posi-
tons as one of the final steps
towards that goal.
Retreat on COunselors
The 50 elementary counselors
who would help children pass
into secondary education more
comfortably represent some
thing Of q retreat by school
officials. Last years budget
requested 100 counselors
eventually dropped in the Dis
trict Building. But school Of
flcials. are hopeful Of restoring
the so this year and adding
so more next year. Cost of the
so new positions would be about
$258.000.
The Hine replacement would
cost $2,816.000. School officials
said this cut was apparently
made because future redevelop-
ment Of the schools surround
ing area could reduce future
enrollments. Nevertheless, res
toration of the item viii be
sought.
School officials also will ask
the Commissioners to restore
$l,202,739 cut from operating
expenses; $4,000 for repair Of
buildings and $S62,589 for per-
nanent improvements.

Appeal for Pay
BY DICK SLAY

Public high school coaches In
Prince Georges County prob
ably will get their last chance
today in their demands for
overtime pay.
The Board of Education
meets in Upper Marlboro and
will adopt its 1958-59 budget.
The budget in its present form
does not authorize any extra
money for the hours coaches
spend after school with their
teams.
The coaches, however, re-
ceived a set back Of sorts today
when Emmett H. Mama, jr.,
Juvenile Court judge Of the
county. and States Attorney
Blair H. Smith. who had been
retained by the coaches asso-
citation to argue their case. de-
cided not to represent them.
Judge Mamma said there was
not enough time left for him
and Smith to make a presenta-
ton. The two attorneys were
scheduled to meet this morn
ing at the Board Of Education
meeting.
If the board fails to APP
prove funds for the coaches

Several pay plans have been
proposed, and committees of
the board will meet early in

lem. The monthly meeting of
the full board today probably
will not take up the matter.
Meanwhile, the District
coaches have not met since
adopting their position two

meet again until the school
board takes action in terms of

WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS

Bob Dwyer was sitting in the
stands at Carroll Highs gym
a few days ago, watching his
basketball team working out
and looking for all the world
like a man with no worries.
He was slipping on q soft
drink and watching the ball
swish through the net with
monotonous regularity.

one in particular. there isn't

there used to be. Like the home

ton. They like to see fancy
shots and a lot Of scoring"
One who takes a dim view OF
the round ball game suggested
that the way to play it would
be to start each team with SO
points. play five minutes and
the team ahead at the end of
that time would be the winner
Dryer, ignoring the remark,
went on to say that the size of
the ball now being used had
some part in the high scoring
Some 20 or rs years ago, it
was pointed out, a team that
held the opposition to around
20 points would win. Now one
player gets 20 points plus fire.
quently.
According to figures, a bas-
ketball in the "old days" was
approximately IN inches
larger in circumference than
the one now in use. The ball
today Is a maximum Of 80
inches and a minimum of 2915.
But the size Of the ball, IL
would seem. makes little diff
ference in the way the game Is
played now. Size, speed and
def ball handling make for the
good teams.
Carroll has all three assets
In abundance.
For size there is John
Thompson, 6-foot-9 sopho-
more. and Tom Hoover, 6.foot-
z junior.
The speed comes from Archie
Moore and Ed Greenan, al
though they are reserves, and
ball handling par excellence is
provided by George Leftwich,
q sophomore; Monk Malloy, q
junior; and Maurice Walker. o
senior.
This Is the nucleus that has
carried the Lions to q 23-3 sea-
son record and recognition as
the top scholastic team In the
area.
Dwyer doesn't say it in so
many words, but the inference
is left that this is the best team
he has handled in his six years
at Carroll. And 1t won't tail of
next season.
