team ever, dominates The
Stars 1861 All-Interhigh Scho-
lastic football team, placing
five members on the first team
and two on the second team.
Harold little Daddy Frazier,
EaStern's huge fullback, and
Ends Robert Lee Stewart Of Bell
and Willie Johnson of Eastern
were selected to the first team
for the second straight year.
Six schools are represented
on the all-senior team, with
Coolidge the only team besides
Eastern to place more than one
player on the mythical eleven,
Adolphus Sandidge. a 200
pound defensive standout and
Demitrius Anderson, a sharp
passing quarterback represent
the Colts.
Aside from Frazier and john
son, Tackle Dennis Talley, Gen.
ter John White and Quarter
back Sam Brodie we're picked
from Eastern, ranked second in
The Stars final high school
ratings.
Wendell Hughes, the sprightly
little quarterback who led
Roosevelt to a surprising title
in the West Division, rounds
out the backfield. Hughes, aside
from his pin-point passing, was
a constant threat to roll out
around either end for large
gains.
Ralph Bresutti Of Anacostia
and Keith Sauls of Wilson
complete the squad. Sauls, the
heaviest lineman at go pounds,
moves up from honorable men
ton on last years team on
the strength of his tremendous
defensive work for Wilson.
Coach Pete Lubukas called
Sauls one of the bright spots
in a disappointing season. Bre-
sutti spanked Anacostia to a
ST. league record. with the In
dian only loss coming to pow
erful Easten.
Large and Small of 1t
Frazier and Brodie might be
called the large and the small
behind Eastern's 100 regular
season record. Brodie, who
stands only 5-feet-7 and weighs
$50 pounds, is an excellent
paSSer, a speedy runner and
calls almost a perfect game,
according to Coach Dick Ment-
ger.
Frazier is a 235-pound block
buster who has been running
over the rest of the league play
ers like they we're small chill
dren. He also is recognized as
one of the best scholastic kick
off and extra point performers
in the area. He consistently
booted kickoffs into the end
zone and he missed only one
extra point during the regular
season.
White is one Of the best
known interior linemen in the
city. Built like a fireplug, the
5-foot-8, 200-pounder fires out
of his pivot spot and clears
the way for Frazier and the
other Eastern backs.
Eight Touchdown Passes
johnson, built for speed at
6-foot-3 and 1876 pounds,
grabbed eight touchdown passes
this season and as a defen-
sive halfback was one of East
ern's most valuable players.
Stewart, acknowledged as one
of the finest all-around play
ers in the league. also played
defensive halfback despite his
5-foot-10, l60-pound frame.
Stewards team value was I'M
derscored when he was injured
after racing 70 yards with a
short pass for a touchdown to
give Bell 1910 lead over
Roosevelt. Without him, Bell
lost that playoff game, 1912.
Another Eastern standout,
James Spencer, leads the Sec
ond team backfield, comprised
