To Be Observed
AT Asbury Here

Family night will be observ-
ed at Asbury Methodist Church,
here next Tuesday evening, Sep
tember 26, $50 p. m, with a
covered dish supper and pro-
gram following. This meeting is

MIR. Franck has completed a
thirty-two year career of teach
ing in ten states. His main oc-
cupation now is su b tit u te
teaching, together with writing
and talking about the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch. He was born a
Mennonite, near Ephrata, Pa.
Soon after leaving Ephrata, he
dropped the Mennonite faith
and become a Quaker. "But l
have a better understanding
now of the Mennonite faith
than l did then" says MIR.
Franck. ''The Mennonites, Am
ish, DunkardS and Brethren are
not a peculiar people, but
sincere, and deeply religious
people. Their principal concern
is keeping their children faith
full to the church" Zone of the
reasons why the Pennsylvania
Dutch are such prosperous
farmers is a sense of dedica-
tion they have that they are
working for the honor and glory
of God" Another of MIR.
Franck's activities is in guiding
tours through the Pennsylvania
Dutch Country of Lancaster
County and also researching the
history of the Cloisters at Eph-

IMPRESSED BY CIV CAGE ACE
Reinhort Not Cautious
On Topic of FeIdmon
BY DICK SLAY
Star Staff Writer

Two decades of coaching
George Washington basketball
have taught Bill Reinhart to
exercise caution in forecasting
success in the season ahead.
There are nine sophomores
on GW's roster of IA boys,
and on the subject of sophs
Bill says: They're just like
the young frog sitting on the
bank. You don't know how far
he's going to jump or how
quickly"
But such parallels don't ap-
ply to Jon Feldman. Caution
is forgotten. The little senior,
who filings his bullseye jump
shot from behing his right ear,
has got Bill fairly bubbling.
Reinhart took the team down
to Durham, N. c., last Friday
for a Scrimmage with Duke.
Vic Bubas, the Blue Devil coach
leaped into the Feldman cheer
ing section. Il would have to
see it to believe it." Bubas is
reported to have said.
Jon didn't miss, that's all.
He didn't miss" Reinhart en-
phasizes.

lege player last season, despite
missing his twin brother, Jeff,

Broken Hands.
Put Out Dugan
And BreedIoVe

The Redskins hopes of crack
ing the win column at st. Louis
Sunday took a turn for the
worse today with the news that
End Fred Dugan and Line
hacker Rod Breedlove are out
with broken hands.
Their injuries, plus the fact
that Fullback Don BosSeler has
a pinched muscle in his neck to
go with a torn rib cartilage,
means the team will have to
improvise to take up the slack.
Coach Bill McPeak started to-
day, moving Bill Anderson to
Dugan's spot at the open end,
and putting John Aveni in Bills
place at the tight end. Steve
Junker, on duty at Fort Eus-
tbs, Va, will spell off Aveni SUM-
day If necessary.
BoSseler. who has been
hobbled by injuries most of the
season, saw limited action
against the Colts last Sunday
when Dugan and Breedlove
were hurt. Trainer George
Lentz has designed a protective
neck collar that may permit
him to play against the Cardi-
mails, but his chances are slim
at best.
Dugan, only three pass rer
ceptions away from Bob Nuss-
banners all-time Redskin rec
ord of AZ for one season, will
miss the last three games
against the Cards, Steelers and
Cowboys. Breedlove, however.
may be available for the last
two. The latter is wearing a
cast up to his elbow, but if a
one is substituted Sat
urday he might see a little
action.
In BoSSeler's absence Sam
Horner will alternate with Jim
Cunningham at fullback and
Dick James will fill Horner's
halfback spot. Tom Osborne
and Jim Wulff, the latter a
defensive halfback until now.
will be the flankers.

Things are getting to such
a state with the st. Louis
Hawks, the erstwhile perennial

The Warriors, with I'll Wilt

last night. when the Warriors
sored 121-111 victory, the
Hawks hadn't lost to the War
riors In st. Louis in IL games
going back to March IL, 1858.
The loss was the 18th in 20
games for the Hawks and their
fourth in five games since
Fuzzy Levane, on of their many
ex-coaches, succeeded Paul
seymour.
Only another loss for the Los
Angeles Lakers, their third in a
row, kept the Hawks from Slip
ping further than 71a games
away from first place in the
Western chase they have won
the last five years. The Lakers
lost the opener of a st. Louis
double-header to Syracuse, 121-
Ill, despite a 49-point outburst
by Army-bound Elgin Baylor.
