Northwood Hosts
Small Rockville
Varsity Friday

( Richard Montgomery who fin
ished second last year in the
now departed Bi-County basket
ball league, will be starting its
shortest squad in recent years
against Northwood Friday and
in addition will be minus its top
scorers. The teams play at
Northwood at 8 pm.
Butch Israel, who figures to be
the teams most consistent point
maker, will be at the Willard
Hotel for the Pigskin Clubs
oath annual banquet. Isreal was
named to the groups Metropoli-
tan All-High football team and
will receive an achievement
award plus a first alternate tag
on a $500 college freshman
scholarship. He has already
been named Montgomery Coun-
ty Back of the Year, and placed
on several All Metropolitan
teams.
Isreal, Leonard Bruce, and
Jim Burger are the holdovers
from last years RMHS squad.
Bruce at 6-foot-1 is the tallest.
Behind them is Richard Prugh,
5-foot-10, Steve Williams, 6-foot,
and Dave Gunther,, 5-foot-11.
.Northwood has more size but
less experience. With the excep.
ton of 6-foot-4 Fred Hauff and
5-foot-S Jimmie Ditto, the In.
dams are playing with last sea-
sons complete Junior Varsity
squad. At that Ditto is a soph-
omore, and wasn't even in
school.
man Naimark, 6-foot.5,
Dave Carrasco, 6-foot-3 son of
the American University coach,
and Kenny Chatham, 6-foot.2,
round out the first five. How.
ever, Chatham won't rejoin the
squad until Friday because of a
football injury.

Full High School Basketball Slate
Set With Night Play This Week
BIair-Wheaton
Contest Tops
Of Early Play
By George Bragaw
Sports Editor

High School basketball
gets into full swing this
weekend when a near-full
slate of 10 games are on tap.
All are night games.
Montgomery Blair, the de-
Tending County, Bi-County and
State champions go under fire
first in Baltimore County when
they meet Kenwood on Friday
night. The Blazers then snap
right back for a test of a Wheat
on squad which may prove to
be the dark horse in the County
basketball race this season.
The Wheaton-Blair game, or
iginally scheduled for Blair has
been switched to Wheaton for
Saturday night at 8 pm.
Coach Eddie Moffatt of Blair
lost eight of 10 on last years
unbeaten State champs, but the
boys Moffatt has returning
should be enough to make the
Blazers the team to beat again
this season.
Blair's cagey ballhandler, Son.
ny Jackson will again be at his
backcourt post. The 5-foot-S
slight of hand man, blossomed
into one of the County's better
quarterbacks during football
season, but basketball is still his
game.
Two other returnees are Jim
Wendt, 6-foot-5 and Jack Tow
send, 6-foot-6. Wendt, who
would have been a regular last
season but was set back with
first a broken arm, then an in
fected toe that needed an opera
ton, is again having foot trou.
BILE. Wendt has already received
several college offers.
Lanky Townsend didn't play
much earlier in the season, but
put in several sensational min.
utes in the State tournament
play, will be a real factor in the
Blazer offense this season.
In the other two starting slots
Blair has Bill Mason, a 6-foot-3
senior up from the w, and Bri.
an Tierney, a 5-foot-10 senior
who was on the squad but did
not see much action last year.
He is better known as an All.
County guard in football.
Behind these are a pair up
from the w, Walter Robertson
and his brother Don. Walter is a
5-foot-10 Junior and his brother
a 5-foot-11 senior. Bob Temp.
kins, a 6-foot-6 senior, gives the
Blazers reserve height.

How much blood does the
body contain?
The average adult human
body contains from eight to
ten pints of blood. Fat per-
sons have relatively less blood
than lean ones. Normal,
healthy persons may lose as

A handsome chest, for ex-

To follow this thesis to a
logical conclusion, one should
begin with a plan for furni-

Although the emphasis in
recent years has been on how
to decorate a small room so
that it will seem larger, the
reverse problem still exists:
How does one make a large
room inviting?
And with the continuing
interest in open floor plans,
it seems a problem likely to
remain on the horizon for a
while.
Possibly the first lesson to
learn is that it is not neces-
sary to use every inch Of
space in order to enjoy the
luxury of it. Blank space in

it should be repeated at least
once-perhaps only in an
odd pillow-in every one Of
the segments Of the room.
Texture as we'll as pattern
can, needless to say, be bolder
in such a setting. Tweedy
lond-haired rugs, fur throws,
rough stone fireplace facades
exert a pleasant power when
there is enough space.
Accessories, too, must be
appropriately scaled. Stand
ing as far away as possible,
examine paintings and wall
treatments to be sure they
are understandable and inter-
esting even from a distance.
Boxes, ashtrays, even flower
and plant arrangements must
reach out from the fartest
corner if they are to con-
tribute to the sense of q
lived-in room rather than
simply an impressive setting.

will have its back to portions

Dear Commissioner:
This organization in its plans for inter-island horse
racing has found it impossible to continue with our pro,
grams unless stabing and housing tac1lltles are proVloe0
at the Mannings Bay Racetrack.
Formerly. visiting horses were stabbed in Bethlehem
in stalls. This small building is now used for storage pur-
poses by the factory. Besides the stalls being inadequate
for further use as stables, an i~nfestation OF insects make
them very uncomfortable for the horses and their trainers
Visiting hOrSemen have refused TO use them any longer
We endorse their decision.
We cannot hope to promote another inter-island
horserace program unless we can offer visiting horses and
their trainers better accommodations. Horses are now IN
training in ST. Thomas and st. Croix for a July 4h pro-
gram.
Since the funds for the development of Mannings Bay
Racetrack are being administered by your department, we
are through this medium, requesting the construction o.
4 building that would serve to accommodate at least six
CO. visiting horses and their trainers. We have been told
that the Sanford Company will be offering one Of their
aluminium buildings for sale. If this rumor is correct, we
suggest exploring this possibility for the purpose re
quested.
We are planning a program for July !, 1860, and rea-
lie that this is very short notice. Your cooperation in this
matter would be appreciated Thanking you, and
Respectfully yours,

Plastic Window
The Navy feels that the
Steinke hoods, which are now

could eliminate unnecessary loss
of life in submarine-or even
radar tOwer-disaSters,
Among the hoods reported
advantages over the "buoyant
ascent" are:
Personnel can learn to use it
safely with very little training
With it unconscious or in
jured men can reach the sur
face.
1t requires minimum main
tenance, and can even operate
with a small tear in its side.
1t eliminates paralyzing fright
by allowing normal breathing
And it increases the practical
depth range for individual es-
capes by at least $50 feet.
The hood is expected to
be operational with submarine

Wing Loss Cited
In Electra Crash
By the Associated Press

The Civil Aeronsutics Board
says the probable cause Of the
crash Of a Lockheed Electra
plane near Tell City, Ind, last
year was loss of the right wing
due to flutter induced by the
engine housings.
The boards report was a
technical analysis of the fac
tors involved in the crash of
the Northwest Airlines plane in
which SO lives were lost.
Contributing factors to the
accident, the CAB said yester-
day. were a reduced stiffness
of the airplane structure and
entry of the plane into an area
of severe clear air turbulence.
The Lockheed ElectraS have
since been undergoing substan-
tial reinforcement of the engine
mounts and nacelle structures
and additional strength and
rigidity have been built into
the wings.
