Barons Aim for Third Bi-County Title This Year
Bee Team Seeks
Sd Track Title;
Triple Crown

Bethesda : Chevy Chase
High School will be trying
for its third BIZ County cham
pionship of the year when the
Baronsi powerful track squad
engages in the / l. e a m
league meet at Wheaton Fri
day afternoon.
The Barons won the Bi-Coun.
ty football a n d basketball
crowns this winter. Coach Jim
Davis trackmen have taken the
Bi-County meet for the last two
years and should make it three
in a row when things get under
way at 1:30 pm. at Wheaton,
Friday. The meet had original
ly been scheduled for North
western but was switched to the
Montgomery County school last
week.
The same overall strength
which enabled the Barons to roll
up 1853 points in the Northwood
Invitational should again carry
them to victory, but perhaps by
a narrower margin.
Blair, the old B.CC nemesis
which was not entered at North
wood, could cut into some of the
Barons points. The Blazers won
impressively at WI two weeks
ago. Last week Blair was beaten
out by three points in the Fl.
Hill Invitational at Cumberland.
The Blazers were handicapped
by the absence of their second
$50 man, Bay Jordre and their
second miller, Jeff Geoffery,
both of whom were taking schol-
arship exams. Akos Szekley,
number one in both of those
events, was sick and the best
he could do was a place in the
$50.
individuals to Watch
Individuals to watch in the BIZ
County meet are Bob Thorne,
Billy Grey, John Kelly, Kenny
Laid, and Paul White.
Thorne. top area miller from
Bladensburg, has had trouble
with bone chips in his foot and
may not even start. Billy Grey
won the 100 at Northwood and
several weeks ago turned in a
21.8 in the 900. Kenny Laid has
thrown the discus 1862 feet this
spring in competition and last
week got off a practice throw
of 1873 feet. The national high
school record is 1855 q. On a
given day Kenny may make the
headlines.
John Kelly was unknown in
these parts before the North
wood Invitational. He had scored
a barrel of points in several
early meets but gave no indica-
ton that he would be hitting IL
feet in the pole vault.
Paul White is acknowledged
as the best quarter miller in the
county. Whether he will remain
so may be decided Friday when
he tangles with Mike Burt, SEN
sational sophomore from Blair.
Burt has turned the quarter in
52.2 and also notched a 22.9 in
the 220.
