There will be a new addition
to the Northwood lineup Friday.
Don Davis, 6-foot-1 sophomore

last week is slated to see lots of
action. Doug Thornton and 6-foot-

Friday night.
If hustle and spirit won ball

The Trojans on the other hand
are off to fast start again this
year and turned in good per-
Torrance Tuesday against Ian

The last time the Rockets
turned the trick against Gath
ersburg was early in 1855 and
though Rockville put together
three straight wins up to last
week after four losses the mex
perienced team should be in for
bad night against the Trojans.
A Rocket victory would be a ma
jor upset.
Richard Montgomery lost to
Frederick 62-16 last Monday.
Hurlebaus Returns for Game
On the other side of the ledger
Gaithersburg will be strength
ened by the return of 6-foot-3 Eric
Hurlebaus, out several weeks with
an infected leg. Hurlebaus, along
with big Jim LeCompte, who had
scholarship feeler last week
from Notre Dame, should give the
Trojans great height advantage.

Tinkam swan for the Ambassador club be-
fore going to North Carolina. He graduated in
53, entered the Army and was assigned to Wal
ter Reed about the time Coach Jim CambeI was
pulling up stakes. Stan became coach and stayed
on after his discharge
Although the Walter Reed Club hasn't won
the National Championship in the last two years
after dominating woman's swimming for seven
indoor and outdoor seasons, the club did produce
the only U. S. womens Olympic swimming Gold
Medal winner Shelly Mann. Four girls from
the club went to the Olympics and six were picked
for the Pan American games. Dougie Gray of
Westmoreland Hills and Betty Brey who taught
last year at BCC also made the trip down I'M
der"
Tinkam hopes that the new club will continue
in this same pattern. Plans call for participation
in AAU open competition both in the District
and nationally. Among the better known meets
of this type are the Southern Peach Tree Meet
in Georgia, the Baltimore Sun Meet the York
Relays in Pa, the swimming section of the Pres
idents Cup regatta and countless small meets in
age or junior groups such as the Junior Olympics
held here each summer
In addition to the swimming facilities the
club plans to have steam rooms, sun lamps, exer-
else and weight lifting rooms and club rooms
Indoor-outdoor facilities are proposed for one
end of the pool This end will be constructed
OF glass. Doors will open onto patio in summer
for sun bathing and shuttle board
Indoor pools are not a novelty and indoor
competition is strong in many sections. In this
area the outdoor facilities are just building UP
and few aside from Congressional the Ambas-
sador Hotel Walter Reed and Merlands Club have
indoor facilities
Next week Tnkam sends Sandy Miller and
Susan Arnold of Chevy Chase to the Tournament
OF Champions in York. Pa and shortly he will
send several, including Alice Hipsley of Silver
Spring, to the Canadian-American All Star meet
in Canada just to prove that swimming can be
an all year sport
For most of the area aquatic fans however,
the season opens about the second week of June
and ends with the Earl Weeks memorial meet
In September Tinkam hopes his new club and
others like it will change this This Silver Spring
Club Walter Reed Club, a rebuilding Ambassador
Club, and the indoor Country Club pools could
go far in establishing the Washington area as
the aquatic capital of the nation
