team. To do that today he'd have to be as big
and strong as Big Daddy Lipscomb and as last
as Dave Slime.
An after hours discussion last week
touched on the advantage that the Catholic
schools have over the public schools in Mary
land football
The Parochial boys start organized foot
ball in the fourth and fifth grades. They put
on pads in the sixth grade and have five years
of football practice in CYO before entering a
fouryear high school. boy can play two
years of w football and still have two years to
work with him on the varsity.
The public high coach only has his boys
three years Many of them have had little or
previous football experience 1t is no wonder
then that many coaches don't wish to schedule
the private schools.
This same sort of training takes place
In the Boys Clubs and Recreation Centers
but not on as advanced a scale. They play
tackle football in Northern Virginia high
schools. For years the larger Northern
Virginia schools seemed almost invincible
when they stepped across the Potomac to
District and Maryland shores.
NOTE: Roger Richards MIC tackle is
again on the injury list The former Wheaton
basketball and football star, broke small bone
in his wrist and may possibly be out for the
rest of the season. Last year. Roger hurt his
knee but it healed well enough to allow the G.

WI Faces BIods
After Weeks Rest

After a weeks break in sched-
ule Walter Johnson has had a
chance to lick its wounds before
meeting Bladensburg Saturday.
The Mustangs won their first
game $40 over Northwood last
Saturday at Blair Stadium.
This was the biggest score
Bladensburg has ever run up
and WI win be hoping that the
Mustangs got all those touch
downs out of its system before
the Spartans drop in for a visit.
Halfback Buddy Kirk scored
three times and Charlie Miller
scored twice and these two and
the passing arm of Jim Moore
are what WI will worry most
about on Saturday.

Tough Blair Plays
Clippers Tonight
AT Northwestern

After several tough games in
a row, Blair finally gets a
breather against Oxon Hill at
Northwestern Stadium tonight.
The Blazers, who have snap
ped back CALAMITY from a crush
ing defeat by DeMatha to win
their next two league contests
in furry of touchdowns,
promise to be much too much
for Oxon Hill.
The game is being played
under the lights on a rare
Thursday night because of the
teachers meetings which are be-
ing held today and Friday
throughout the State.
The feared Suitland defense,
which had given up but one
touchdown-and that through
the air--in two games, came
apart under the whirling feet of
Frank Schaffer and Billy Mitch
ell last Saturday.
In an eye-opening II am.
game, the Blazers beat the
Rams convincingly. 1t was
Blair's third league victory, and
gave them a second place tie
with Richard Montgomery be-
hind league leading Wheaton.
Mitchell Scores First
Halfback Mitchell took an in
side reverse 81 yards for a
score in the fading moments of
the first quarter. Mitchell's re-
verse confused the Suitland
ends and when the ends laid
back and waited for the re-
verses, Schaffer got all the run
ming room he needed off tackle.
On the first scrimmage play
of the second half, Schaffer
shot off right tackle, 81 yards
for score. He was sprung by
a pair of classic blocks by
guards Bob Jones and Gary
Noel.
A few minutes later, Schaf-
fer raced 10 yards to a first
down on the Suitland one and
carried across two plays later.
Blair ran up a tremendous
statistical edge on the Rams.
The Blazers picked up 300 yards
while holding the Rams to SO
net yards. Schaffer picked up
135 yards of the total with
Mitchell accounting for nearly
so more. In first downs, Blair
led II to 2.

Purcell, who got off a num-
Der of long gains, was the star

Northwood.
MIC takes on the New York
Aggies this Saturday at 2 pm.
in Farmingdale, Long Island,
N. Y. The Aggies' only loss of
the season was two weeks ago
to Wesley.
Chacos is convinced he has a
good team and believes that the
statistical edge MIC has had on
all its opponents bears out the
view. All they need is fewer
flags and more touchdowns.

jured his ribs and coach Lester
doesn't expect him to be ready
by Saturday.
Mackey Takes Over
Bruce Mackey, a 15O-pound
junior, moved into the scene
after Doane was injured and did
a fine job. Charlie Small, a 1854.
pound junior, will replace Curtis
II he is unable to play.
Gaithersburg is also having
its trouble.
Nathan Miller, the Troians
top speedster. was just released
from the hospital Friday where
he was recovering from an in
fected leg.
End Melvin Nichols missed
last weeks game against
Charlestown with an infected
toe and is also doubtful
starter.
The Trojans got the worst of
1t Friday. Harvill estimates that
Gaithersburg outgained Charles
town three-to-one last week but
couldn't score. Two fumbles in
side the five yard line killed i'm.
portant drives and a 70-yard
punt return by halfback Mike
Norris was nullified on a
penalty.
Doesn't Like 10 Point
Lester says the Gaithersburg
game is important, but not any
more important than any other
game. As a matter of policy,
Lester doesn't like to point his
team for a particular game. He
believes II harms more than il
helps.
1T doesn't do any good to get
the boys all upset over one ball
game. They'll forget what
they're doing and before you
know it you have 5o-75 yards in
penalties"
With these two schools, how
ever, there is little necessity for
the coaches to get the boys up
for the big game. The rivalry
is such that a successful season
goes TO the winner of the game
despite the won.loss record
throughout the season.

Gaithersburg VS.. RMHS Saturday.
Game Gould Decide Sentinel Trophy
Trojan Upset
Would Hamper
Rocket Hopes
BY George Bragaw

Gaithersburg moves into
Rockville Saturday after
noon with hopes of messing
up several of arch rival
Richard Montgomery's 1859
grid plans.
The Rockets will become zone
uppers" in the grandest style
for that school in the last II
years If they beat the Trojans
before a 2 pm. homecoming
crowd.
Gaithersburg, winners of the
last two games with Rockville
by 200 and rs scores, have tied
UP the modern series between
the two rivals at six wins each.
The Trojans were the last team
to defeat the Rockets before the
school launched its modest six
game-four this season-win
streak.
A Rocket win Saturday would
give Richard Montgomery its
longest consecutive victory
string in IL years and the
Sentinel trophy for the up
county championship. 1t would
also bring them to within one
win Of tying the most victories
for a Rockville team since the
resumption of football in the
county after World War ii.
Still Thought Tough
For Gaithersburg, off to a
poor start after two highly sue
cessful years under Coach John
Harvill, a victory would be
balm for all injuries and solace
for all woes. Despite the Tro-
jams 1-3 record, they are still
regarded as a good team in
coaching circles.
Il think Gaithersburg could
whip three quarters of the
teams in the Bi-County," Rock.
vile Coach Roy Lester said last
Friday night.
'They (Gaithersburg) looked
pretty sharp to me. OF, course,
they were beaten go by
Charlestown), but it was a good
ball club that did it.
aithersburg looks well
coached and they have a good
defense with lots of variations
according to Lester.
The Rockets brightest hour
was clouded by gloom last week
as Richard Montgomery laced
High Point, 34-19, at the cost of
quarterback Kenny Doane and
possible fullback Mike Curtis.
Doane suffered a fracture of
his left wrist while returning a
punt in the second quarter of

LIBRARY DRIVE
IN BELHAVEN
Is UNDER WAY

The annual Membership Drive
of the Belhaven Public Library As
ISOLATION is now under way and will
continue through Friday, Novem-
Der 20. Canvassers will call at
homes and business establishments
and will accept membership fees
of one dollar or any amount over
that which people would like to
contribute toward the maintenance
of the library.
1t is particularly fitting that this
drive began during American Edu-
cation Week, since reading is the
most effective way of continuing
education after ones school days
are over.
Miss Elizabeth Ball, regional di-
rector of the Beaufort Hyde Martin
Bookmobile program, recently COM
mented that Belhaven had one of
the finest small town libraries that
she has ever seen. If the library
is to continue the service which it
now gives to readers in this area,
it must have the support of the
public. New books are expensive,
but library cannot remain static
and books are purchased solely with
funds supplied by the public. There
must also be funds for mainten-
ance.
A reading table for children has
been ordered, and the book COM
mittee is preparing a list of new
books for purchase. For only one
dollar any citizen of Belhaven and
the outlying communities may have
a share in maintaining this inn
portant public service.
