Fierce Competition
Here's the way the coaching staff
sums up Jackie's play: Hes GER
tainly one of our fiercest competi

football. and his play shows it. :"
The bulldozing inner-lineman epito-
mixed his career in the Western
Maryland game on H-SC's Venable
Field He made II tackles and not
until he dropped from sheer fourth
quarter exhaustion could they get
him out of the thick of that contest

made the number a tradition at
Death Valley.
Oddly enough. the other per-

Crewe High and enjoying the arch

pretty quickly.
World of Defense
A four-year letterman for the
Tigers. his first two were earned as
a fullback. Not until the spring
practice session of 1858 was he con-
verted to end. This is his second
full season on the wing OF the line,
and his quick development there
can best be summed UP in the way
the staff regards him. We're just

and one touchdown against the I'M

Vital Games
What makes the three last games

Western Maryland last week. Re-

Terrors. H-SC may want to prove
something against the Diplomats
The following Saturday, it's the
Colonies Of Centre who'll be coming
here That adds another interstate
prestige opportunity. plus a chance
to keep what has turned out a

Above all is that target of No

the Mason-Dixon Conference title
If H-SC whips the Jackets and
Johns Hopkins d eff eats Western
Maryland. Hampden Sydney will
grab the title.
The three in order now, in the
MD are: W Maryland pol; Hamp-

Macon, 2-l-l. Any one of She three
can win. and we'll bet couple of
Tigers named Harrington and Will
