Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1962-09-13

The Montgomery County high
school football spotlight will
shine on two games this week
and the final results should pro-
vide a clearer look of the cham
pionship picture.
Of the seven games to be
played in the County, North
wood at Sherwood and Richard
Montgomery at Walter johnson
promise to be the most impor'
tant. Northwood raced past
Northwestern, 43-0, last week
end, while Richard Montgomery
squeeked by powerful Sherwood
40. Walter Johnson stopped
Bladensburg, 14-6.
The big question facing North
wood is can it's race horse
backfield perform as effectively
against more experienced
team? The Indian forward wall
stopped the younger Northwes-
tern runners cold. However, in
Sherwood, the Indian lineman
will be facing bigger and more
experienced ball carriers.
Richard Montgomery had its
hands full with Sherwood and
the Warriors figure to be out
to bounce back into the win
ner's column.
Walter johnson has come up
with a surprisingly strong club
and has two factors in its favor.
A victory will allow it to claim
the biggest upset of the week
end, while a setback is what the
experts are predicting.
The other games to be played
Saturday include: Suitland at
hesda-Chevy Chase; Boons-
bOro at johannesburg RoOSeVeII
at Blair; Northwestern at Whea-
ton; and Robert E. Peary at
Springbrook. All games are
scheduled to get under way at 2
pm.
The Jim DeMosS-coached
NorthWood team boasts the fast
est backfield in the County with
husky Ken chatham showing
the way.

and field star made an auspic-
ious debut last weekend with a

Improved Defense
PIeoSes Rockets

"We're improved over last
year. Our defense is better, but
my team lacks depth" is the
way Richard Montgomery coach
Roy Lester sums up the picture
following his opening football
contest with Sherwood High
School
One of the big reasons for the
improved defense is tackle
Roger Bridgewater, a 6-foot-1,
206-pound husky who has won
a starting assignment with the
Rocket eleven.
The backfield spotlight is
again focused on fullback Char
ley Snowden. The 5-foot-9, 100
FOUNDER has increased his speed
and has picked up more moves.
Like Snowden, Lester credits
Bridgewater's i'm prov ement
with his newly acquired poise
and speed.
In addition to being the
heaviest Iineman on the Rock
ct squad, he is the tallest. He
started showing his improve
ment, according TO the men,
tor, late last season. 1t was,
then, as a junior, he was
given chance to start. He's
picked right up and with the
new confidence appears to be
the sure.fire twO-way starter

With Davidson;
Interception Aids

DAVIDSON, N. G. Oct. IL
(AP). - William & Mary and
Davidson battled to a TT
Southern Conference football
tie today after VEINS fullback,
Stan Penkunas, leaped high in
the end zone to intercept a pass
in the last 20 seconds.
The interrogation halted a
Davidson drive which began on
the Wildcat six after Davidson
had stopped the Indians with a
yard to go on fourth down and
two minutes remaining.
A homecoming crowd Of T.
500 watched Davidson score
first just before the end Of the
first period. Earl Cole, standing
near his end zone, hurled a So
yard pass to Steve Heckard,
who ran the rest Of the way.
Bill Dole, son of the David
son coach, kicked the extra
point.
1t was a pass from the same
combination that Penkunas in
tercepted in the closing seconds.
William & Mary tied the
score in the second quarter.
Halfback Charlie Weaver, Pen
kunas and Scott Swan, a half
back, featured a 56-yard touch
down march.
Henning went over from the
two for the score. Steve Bishop

DUROCHER MAY HAVE FELT that
Alstons goose was cooked when he livened
up the Dodgers wake. Maybe 1t is; we're
supposed to learn more on the subject this
week. Grand it's just possible-Leo's
alleged remark may have removed the
goose from the spit.
AS long as Bavasi has OMalley's ear
it's unlikely that Leo himself will get his
boss job Buzzy is an Aston man. He
champions the quiet, guilty ex-School
teacher from Darrtown, Ohio.
The Dodgers, although they represented
Brooklyn at the time, have proved they
could get along with Durocher, If necessary.
When Leo was The Dandy Little Manager
from 1939-46 his own boss, Branch hickey,
urged Commissioner Happy Chandler to
reorientate Durocher.
Early in April, 1947, Chandler acted
with hand that surprised all by its heavi-
ness. He suspended Leo from baseball for
one year for ian accumulation Of unpleas-
ant incidents in which he has been involved
which the Commissioner construeS as det-
rimental to baseball"
There were too many people IN Leo's
life who were persona non grata, as far as
Chandler was concerned, including such
fragrant specimens as Buggsy Siegel, Joe
Adonis and Memphis Engelberg.
LEO is A MAN CALLOUSED by crises
The one involving him now is microscopic
by comparison Attention is his wine, the
beverage of Beverly Hills. Leo belongs
to the Hollywood mob. like DO Belinsky
and Cassius Clay of the sweatShirt set.
As for Aston, so he called bad play.
Who doesn't once in while? The Dodgers
had no business in a playoff at all; they
should have won looking over their Shout
ders. If he we're of mind, Aston could
point an accusing finger at his front Office
and O'Malley himself.
Down the stretch Walt had only half
a dozen pitchers to be trusted, notably
Drysdale and Podres for starters, and Per-
ranoski and Roebuck for relief. They
pitched until their arms were ready to fall
off. Even then, on number of occasions
Just one base hit would have wrapped up
the flag.
The Dodgers are proud Of their far
flung farm system. Weep Fresco Thomp-
sons office has blackboards for walls, filled
with 4OO-5OO names Of Dodger-controlled
players. Wasn't there one pitcher the front
office could get for Aston? Or are all
those names picked out of the telephone
directory?

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. Is (AP) +.
Texas, the Nations second
ranked football team, used two
Oklahoma fumbles for a 9-6
victory today to roll on unbeat-
en- and united through four
games and beat Oklahoma for
the fifth straight year.
The game almost erupted
into a free-for-all four seconds
before the close when Rick Nc
Curdy, Oklahoma end, and
Tommy Lucas, Texas end, ex-
changed blows. Both benches
rushed onto the field and some
occasional blows were struck
but the battle soon ended.
One Oklahoma rumble set up
a 26-yard field goal by Tony
Crosby and the other led to a
Texas touchdown when the ball
rolled into the end zone and
Perry McWilliams recovered 1T.
Oklahoma got its touchdown
when Ronald Fletcher passed
"a yards to Lame Rented.
All the scoring came in the
second period. Texas spent the
last half keeping the Sooners
in their own territory with a
gritty defense and the great
kicking Of young Ernie Koy.

enteenth straight sellout-
watched the game in the Cot

Joe Don Looney, the Texan
who plays for Oklahoma, was
the toughest Sooner for the

bone crushing blasts through
the line. Ray Poage led a

that was driving the Sooners

Several clubs, including the
Senators, who need a shortstop
have been inquiring why Dick
Howser did not return to the
Kansas City lineup for the last
six weeks after his injured hand
repeatedly had healed. The
answer is that Charley Finley,
who has great faith in the
Mayo Clinic, had been told by
a doctor there that Howser's
thumb injury was a rare one,
and he could not afford to play
without danger of ending his
career.
So Finley called Howser and
told him not to play, although
the owner neglected to tell
Manager Hank Bauer Of his or
der. Howser had to tell Bauer.
Incidentally, an informant
says only q scattered few OF
the Kansas City players offered
congratulations to Ed Lopat
when he was named to succeed
Bauer.
