in The Stars weekly high
school basketball poll, compiled
by the staff of six scholastic
writer's.
The Catholic League leaders

votes and clung to their slim
lead over Washington-Lee, So
So. However, the Cadets face
probably their toughest test
Sunday when they meet De-
Matha. the third-ranked team,
on the Stays court.

Good Counsel continued its

school Of 5,400 students. Add
'em UP and it's like the national
budget. There just doesn't ap-
pear to be enough coming In.
A 40,000-seat stadium?
Coach Jerry Claiborne. who
is a round-faced. 34-year-old
guy with a bad back, was in
town the other day and he
didn't seem a bit disturbed by
these simple mathematics. Clai-
borne has a basic formula. too:
A good team plus a good sched-
ule equals q big crowd any
where.
An agricultural and mechan-
lcal school, VPI probably has
more alumni in the Washing
ton area than any other Vir-
ginia school. And it is counting
on some Of these folks to load
up their station wagons and
make the 250-mile trek now and
then for a big week end. The
new stadium, or the first
20.000-seat segment. hopefully
Is blueprinted for 1864.
VPI already has done some
thing about adding muscle to
Its schedule. 1t played teams
like Tulane (24-22) and Army

son. Next season 1t goes to Ken
lucky.
Mississippi State and VAN
derbilt are carded for the i'm
mediate future. Someday. Of
course. these teams are going
to have to return the visit.
That's part Of the master plan.
While waiting for that time,
Claiborne is busy adding muscle
to his team. Since taking over
as head coach from Frank
Moseley two years ago. Clai-
borne has had AS and SIS rec
ords. That's hardly the type
Of thing to give a school big
time ambitions. but there's a
Joker in the deck.
Virginia Tech had last years
break-even record with a squad
that had only two seniors. and
one Of these was the extra
point specialist. "Well have 80
lettermen next season." Clai-
borne says with q smile, and
YOU can almost hear him
counting the days till fall.
Until recently. VPI never had
given this area much of a re-
cruiting tumble. but Claiborne's

Queen For Day To
Come To WN;waw

Viewers of Jack Bailey's
popular Queen for Day"
program, broadcast daily from
Hollywood by more than 1870
TV stations affiliated with the
ABC television network, wat
ched with interest the selection
of the queen who would re-
ceive, as one of her prizes, a
vacation trip for two to Wilt
waw Lodge on Lake Wasilla.
On Friday, Oct. Is, master of
ceremonies Jack Bailey an
nounced the name of the per-
son chosen for the vacation -
Mrs. Barbara Stone of North
Hill Ave, Pasadena, Calf. Mrs.
Stone was one of four women
selected from the studio aud
fence to appear on the video-
tapped program and be inter-
viewed by Bailey. She was Sc
lected queen by audience ap-
plause with her wish for a pi-
ano for her nine-year-old sis
ter, Jane Kuhlberg.
During her interview, Mrs.
Stone told of an automobile ac-
cident last August which caus-
ed the death of her father and
injury to four of her brothers
and sisters. Jane, the most ser
iously injured, is still in t h e
hospital and is paralyzed from
the waist down.
Mrs. Stone told of James in
terest in music, and said that
the youngster, although para
lyzed, takes piano lessons and
"loves music
Immediately after her coro-
nation, her wish wa granted

with furniture, new ward
robe for herself and other gifts.
Then, at the close of the pro-
gram, M. c. Bailey announced
that she was to receive yet one
more gift
The stage curtains wer e
opened and one of the page
models who assists Bailey on
the show stepped out to t h e
center of the stage wearing an
authentic Alaskan fur parka.
Bailey told her that the par
ka, made by Swedish craftsmen
for the Alaska Fur Factory in
Anchorage, was another ward
robe item she might need
"our way of telling you that
you and your husband will
soon be on your way to an AL
askan vacation at the famous
Williwaw Lodge"
Bailey then described the
holiday set for the delighted
Mrs. Stone. She will fly to An
chorage, where she will be met
