Pearl White, Americas Heroine

The first movie queen wa:
Pearl White. She was q short,

pleted her last picture in
1922. Like the others, it was
a serial and one episode was
shown each week at the local
Bijou. Each reel closed with
Miss White screaming silently
as she was dragged toward a
buzzsaw, a cliff. railroad
tracks.
The patrons had to return
the following week-panting
and upnerved-to see how
Miss White could possibly
escape sudden death. She
always did. In the final reel,
the brave, virtuous girl always
triumphed over the forces of
evil.
MISS WHITE was born

1889. The place was Green
ridge, Mo. Her father was a
farmer. He had three daugh-
tiers and two sons. He sent

Her father objected, but the

to join a stock company. At

New York area when her voice
began to fail.

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:
My mother has been suffering

She has consulted several
doctors without being helped.
I took her to another doctor
recently. He recommended
a trial of gold therapy. He
makes no promises but says
it's worth the try. The other
doctors don't believe in it.
Mrs. H. H.
WHAT THERAPY has

THE PROBLEM

Mrs. M. E.-She has made
a mistake by accepting Frank.
Nancy Ell don't want to
double-cross him-or tell him
the truth.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-03

he started writing her red
hot love letters and proposed
to her. She accepted by mail
because he was overseas. No
formal announcement has
been made. / was furious
with Nancy for accepting be-
cause she has had much bet
ter suitors than this boy,
Frank. He has no prospects
when he gets out Of the
service and he is much too
immature.
A few weeks ago Nancy
met a much more interest,"
ing man who won't take mo"
for an answer. She went out
with him once or twice, but
feels guilty about it and says
she won't do it any more.
I feel that she made a mis-
take by accepting the first
proposal and should tell
Frank.
Nancy Ell am so mixed
up I hardly know what to do.
I was always very fond Of
Frank and missed him ter
ribly. He wrote that he had
wanted to propose for a long
time and that he just hadn't
gotten up the nerve.
I do feel that I love Frank,
but I know that some of the
things my mother says are
true. He is immature, and
certainly doesn't have any
prospects. This new man is
%. well established and I do
like him.
I would like to go out with
this man. but what am I to
do about Frank? He has writ
ten back that he is the hap
piest man in the world and
will walk on air until he
comes home. I don't think it's
right to double-cross him.
On the other hand, I'm
afraid Of upsetting him by
telling him the truth.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
No. we don't think Frank
ought to be double-crossed,
nor under ordinary circum-
stances would we recommend
writing to a boy overseas that
he has been Tilted. In this
case, however. there are some
differences. Neither proposal
nor acceptance were made in
person. No formal announce
ment has been made.
The fact is that Nancy has
made a mistake. She should
have been aware of the fact
that homesick boys in the
service sometimes build up a
particular girl in their mag
nation and, protected by
several thousand miles, get
the idea they would like TO
marry her. Nancy should
never have committed herself
on the basis Of such a
proposal.
Nancy should now confess
her error to Frank. She def
initely does not have to
mention the existence of an
other man. He is not i'm
portant in this picture. The
true facts are that Frank
and Nancy both overreached
themselves when they ar
ranged matrimony by mai!
and it would be foolish to
insist upon perpetuating the
error.

1t will be the face of Roy
Lester, the coach who hopes to
lift Richard Montgomery's foot
ball fortunes from the doldrums.
At present Lester is looking for
only modest gains.
II don't see anything real

this week, "but then I'm not
down in the dumps as it was
that first week of practice"
"rhe boys have made a lot of
progress-but not enough for
what we've got to do"
Most of the players from last
years poor season are gone.
And Lester is looking for some
linemen to fill the gaps before
the Rockets open up against
Walter Johnson a week from
Saturday.
Tucker Best Lineman
Lester sees only one good line
man, tackle Dick Tucker but
even he is slow. The backfield
situation is more encouraging.
Kenny Doane is progressing
well at quarterback and Roy
looks for the junior to be a fine
player before graduation.
At fullback RMES isn't good,
but according to Lester the boys
are capable. The situation at
halfback is similar.
Dick Kaelin, Bob Khuen and
Cliff Boyd who moved up from

in ANOTHER WEEK the first shots will

time in several years there are definite rumbles
from Prince George County.
Every year sportswriters seem to remem.
Der the size of the Bladensburg line; and, in an
attempt to cover themselves like politicians at
a clambake, come up with vague expressions
that strongly hint that perhaps, maybe if all
things go right, and the wind favors the pass

1t could be that SuitIand is loaded. Or
then 1t could be that the improvement in
material may still not put the Rams into
the roll of butting B-CC out of the league
championship.
Although AL Sadusky'S charges are not as
strong as last year, and not nearly as strong
as the year before, the Barons must be again
considered the team to beat.
The Barons are still the biggest team

hasn't lost Bi-County game in three seasons
and has compiled 25-1 record over the span.
One daily newspaper has already declared
B-CC the preseason champion. This same pa

The record shows that the BarOns have
six players with experience returning from

Don Kruger, first string offense last year,
and Bud Whitaker, first string defense, should
give the Barons two of the best tackles around.
Kruger goes at 205 and Whitaker a slim 225.

Warriors
Open at
La Plata

Sherwood journeys to La
Plata this Saturday at 2
pm. to kickoff the class B
football competition in SUBJ
urban Maryland.
This is the first meeting be-
tween the two schools.
Coach Tony Caruso may have
uncovered a diamond in the
rough when he switched 1876
pound Bob Williams from cen
ter to fullback in his multiple
offense. The speedy junior has
been very impressive in drills,
particularly against w tie r
Johnson, and may take up some
of the slack in the all-green
Warrior backfield.
Sherwoods line is equal to
last years with the same weak
ness-no depth. The Warriors
had one good team last season
and when a rash of injuries
broke out, there was nothing to
back up the regulars. About
the same situation exists this
season and Coach Caruso is
keeping his fingers crossed
about injuries.
Jim Ward and Bob Pack, a
pair of six foot seniors hold
down the end positions. Don
Luther, 190-pounds, is back at
tackle from last year and is
joined by Eugene Harris IT'S
pound junior, who moves up
from the second string. Hugh
Brown returns at right guard
and Bob Mitchell moved up from
the second string at the other.
Center Pete Undertake at 205
pounds is the biggest man on
the squad.
At quarterback Sherwood has
Bill Carney, a senior transfer
from Virginia. Williams is at
full, and there is a scramble for
the halfback posts.
At lefthalf, the tossup is be-
tween a pair of juniors, Jerry
Hurley and Bob Parks. At
right half Herb Allen, a senior
and Bill Martin, a junior are
fighting it out.
None of the backs have the
breakaway talents of Ronnie
Purcell, however, and Sherwood
will have to settle for gains in
short chunks.

Coaches Collect
For Early Game
with Anacostia
BY George Bragaw
Sports Editor

Walter Johnson will have
the dubious honor of being
the most secuted team in
BIZ County league this Sat-
urday when the 1859 edition
of the Green Machine is
rolled out for display against
Anacostia High School at 2
pm.
The Green is the only BIZ
County team, and aside from
Sherwood and the respective OPP
ponents, the only football team
playing this side of the Poto-
mac on Saturday. This should
attract almost as many coaches
with pencils as fans to the
game.
WIS opponent, Anacostia, is
a question mark. Anacostia
had one of it's worst seasons in
history last year, following an
unsuccessful try for the city
championship against st. Johns
in 1857.
The Eagles under colorful
Coach ZuZu Stewart with dog)
run from a single wing and
double wing formations. Ana
costa has long been known for
its straight power plays de-
signed to control the ball and
beat the opponents into submis-
sion.
DrOze, Hill Lead Attack
Speedster Jerry Droze and
Billy Hill will lead Anacostia's
offensive thrusts.
Coach ]. Paul Miller and his
Spartans finished with a Sd rec
ord last season, a low point in
the careers of both. The Green
will be built around the bull-like
thrusts of halfback John Murd-
dock, a 200-pound Junior.
Schuster Vance, Larry Drag
anaoff, Dick King, Warren
Price, Bill Loving, Dick Beall,
and Dick Farr will be In the
line for WI.
Price, a 6-foot-7 end who
earned a starting berth as a
sophomore, is hard to defense
on quick pass.
Fred Steer, a junior, appears
to have won the quarterback job
from Pete Skogland, another
junior, on his passing and run
ming ability.
WI has two good fullbacks
in Carl Woman and Bob Tay-
lor both seniors. About four
or five boys are fighting for the
fourth backfield slot although
none are outstanding.
Miller expects his defense to
be stronger than last year and
intends for WI to pass more
than in previous seasons.
