looks real strong again and,
of course, Lester always has
a tough club"
Buck Jones, B-CC coach,
couldn't find much to moan
about but said. "I believe
Richard Montgomery could 60
all the way, but you always
have to fear Blair"
And so it goes.
Walter johnson also was
stripped Of some personnel by
Whitman, another new school,
but Coach Paul Miller is hop
ing Jack Blomquist's passing
will direct the Spartans over
the 500 mark.
Gaithersburg could improve
over its AS record because Of
nine returning lettermen and
more depth. Peary will be play
ing its first full varsity sched-
ule and should benefit because
the team has played together
for two years.
The teams alphabetically:
BETHESDA-CHEVY CHASE
The Barons easily could
have the best running attack
in the county with Pat Flynn,
a 220-pound fullback, flanked
by Butch McQuown and John
Slower. Trying to make it an
all-senior backfield are Quar-
terbackS Bryant ARnew and
Dorsey Hunt, but Coach Jones
says Dave Wetzer, a sharp
passer from the junior varsity,
may sneak in.
The line has lost its back
bone, All-Metropolitan Tom
Folliard, but Brooks Cooper. a
6-foot-1, 225-pound senior,
appears ready to take over.
The Barons also will be strong
at ends with Jud Biglow and
Ron Cameron. the place-kick-
ing star.
GAITHERSBURG-HaK Of
Coach John Harvill's offense.
Halfback Bill chrisman and
Fullback Chick Kilby, have
returned. The question mark
is Quarterback Larry James. q
5-foot-9, 155-pound Junior,
who is trying to make the
switch from second-string
halfback.
The line Is the bright spot,
with senior letterman at every
position. At guards are two
quick 150-pounders. Keith
Copeland and Jay German.
Tom Musser and Carl Grogan
will open at ends and Van
Smith. 200 pounds, and Jimmy
Bowman, ITS, are the tackles.
The center is Jim Melvin, a
standout last season.
PEARY-Not only is all Of
last years team back. but
Coach Ron Laneve also is
blessed with two transferees-
Tommy Jackson. a 205-pound
tackle from Wheaton and
Pat Wheeler, 175-pound half
back from Good Counsel. Both
are juniors.
Bob Danbon, the teams
leading ground gamer from his
fullback position the last two
years, again is expected to lead
the offense, but one of the
sophomore quarterbacks. Jerry
Fitzpatrick or Tim Mcintosh,
will have to come through. A
halfback that bears mention is
Jimmy Brown, a 170-pounder
who showed Improvement as a
junior.
RICHARD MONTGOMERY
-Halfback Brian Wright, a
speedy 5-foot-9, 160-pounder,
and Fullback Charlie Snowden,
a pile-driving 180-pounder,
both regulars last year, could
form the best inside-outside
punch in the league. The
quarterback will be Dick
Prugh, who saw considerable
action last season as a Sec
ond-stringer.
What the Rockets lack in
size up front they make up in
experience. Lester claims the
line will average only 164
pounds, but he has 10 veterans,
including Roger Bridgewater,
a 210-pound tackle and Center
Bruce Grewell. Tommy Dunn
has been shifted from half
back to end and Bill Coulthart
will play the other flank. Both
are about So and 155 pounds.
WALTER JOHNSON - The
Spartans have Is veterans
among their 10 candidates. The
backfield appears strong with
Halfbacks Berry Irwin and Bob
