Landon Plays DeMatha At Maryland U. Tonight Both Unbeaten; County School Has Size Edge County basketball interest shifts to the University of Maryland tonight, when Lon don's unbeaten basketball team makes its first appear ance in the cavernous Cole Field House against unbeat en DeMatha in the “biggest” basketball game of the year. Tonight’s contest between the Bears and the DeMatha Stags, is a far cry from the tiny Lan- j don gymnasium and the Inter-' state Athletic Conference games. Instead of a handful of stu 1 dents, between 5,000 and 10.000 fans are expected to journey to the University of Maryland to see if Landon can attain its first unbeaten season. The game between the two best teams in the area is rated a toss-up. but Landon Coach Eddie Barton feels the Bears’ height faay wear down DeMatha. • “I think we’ll be in the game all the way,” the Bear mentor said, “if we can avoid injuries and stay out of foul trouble. “If it is close, I think we’ll have an edge near the end be cause of our height. It's difficult for a small man to keep jump ing the whole game.” London’s “height” is 6-foot-8 Fred Hetzel, The Sentinel’s "Player of the Year,” 6-foot-7 George Manger, and 6-foot-5 Louis "Bobo” Berger. The Stags aren’t small either, boasting 6- foot-6 John Jones and 6-foot-5 v BUI McDermott in the starting lineup and 6-foot-7 Tom Canada on the bench. If all that height has you murmuring that it's “a big man’s game,” let's shift to the Httle men. < DeMatha has the edge here, mainly because of John Austin. Barton has watched the 5-foot -10 speedster on two occasions, and describes him simply as "tremendous.” Austin does have excellent helpers in Barry Smith, the only starting senior, and 6-foot-3 John Carrell. London’s backcourt men have changed throughout the year. , m'TMfb and John McConnaughey started there, but Ernie Burton displaced John, and Paul Clark is threatening to move Bob out of the starting lineup, i Burton, a 5-foot-ll sophomore Who is the only non-senior in the Starting lineup, could be the key to the ball game. Burton has great speed, though not much experience. In his last two games he has collected 25 points, and Barton feels that - . his shooting is improving. Clark got a chance to play when Berger sat out two weeks Studying. Right now Barton has no idea whether he or Bob Mc- Gonnaughey will be the fifth man tonight. Manger also missed a game with a slight virus, but Barton says he has completely recov ered. In past seasons, Landon lias used a zone defense, but this year the Bears have been play - -ying man-for-man more than ev er, before. DeMatha generally uses the man-for-man too. so this should be a high scoring af- Barton has nothing to say about his offense except that Berger and Burton will bring the ball down. If the Stags start a press. Hetzel will come out to help. DeMatha has won 21 games this year, and Landon 17, but they have only two common op ponents. Landon defeated Gon zaga easily early in the season, and the Stags took the Eagles twice, although it was a close game when Austin wasn’t play ing. DeMatha defeated St. John’s by two points without Austin and by 12 with him; the Bears beat toe Cadets by 8. This will close Landon s sea son, but DeMatha still has to play in the City Championship and toe Knights of Columbus Scouts Award Thanks Badge Mrs. John O.

MD. Thursday, March 2, 1961 McGuire Leads Bullis School To Best Mark One of the leading scorers in county basketball has been al most unnoticed this year. He’s John McGuire of Bullis School, who boasts a sparkling 20.9 scoring average. McGuire has gone unnoticed mainly because Bullis, only In its second year of high school competition, has scheduled only 12 games, and McGuire had to miss two because of the flu. In the nine games he has played, the 6-foot-5 senior has scored 188 points, including 37 against Quantlco Post and 34 against St. Anthony. He has one more regular season game, Monday at Charlotte Hall, and possibly the Priory Tournament to add to his average. Through McGuire’s efforts, the Little Admirals have clinched at least a second place finish in the Central Interschol astic Conference, and can tie for the top spot if Longfellow beats St. Anthony. McGuire is a transfer from i Loyola Academy of Wlnnetka, 111., where he did not play var sity ball. He did play football, however, and was first string end on the Bullis Prep varsity team. At Bullis, a high school boy can play on the Prep teams, not vice versa. Gary Lattimore and John Ezell, who are 6-foot -8 and 6-foot-9, are seniors in high school who play on toe Prep team. There were thoughts of mak ing McGuire a varsity player, but it was felt that he could develop better on the high school level. The other starters are Don Wilson, a 6-foot-2 junior, and three seniors, Ray KMne (6- foot-2), Richie Allman (5-foot ll) and Scott Dudley (6-foot). "We’re a big team in our con ference,” Coach Robert Hayes said, "but we lack experience.” Hayes, toe athletic director at Bullis, never expected to be coaching the Little Admirals in basketball. However, he could not find a coach to replace Willard Lutz, who resigned after one year, and so had to take toe job himself. So far his squad has presented him with seven wins in 11 games, losing to Good Counsel, twice, Quantlco Post and St. Anthony. The victories have been against Longfellow twice, Arch bishop Neale twice. Quantlco, St Anthony and Charlotte Hall. In all the Little Admiral’s vic tories McGuire has scored 18 points or better. He missed both Good Counsel games, and scored only nine and eight in toe losses to Quautico and St. Anthony’s. J Area Youth Graduates From Gunnery Course Marine Pfc. John W.

Jr mjL isi llßk fl Kenny Doane Fred Hetzel and George Manger have scored over 1000 points each for Landon School of Bethesda in the past three years and over that span the Bears have lost only four games while winning 70. Hetzel, for his consistantly superior play over the last three years and for his 434 points in 17 games this year—a 25.5 point average—is the Sentinel’s choice as "Player of the Year.” The 18-year-old senior has scored 1190 points for Lan don and should go over the 1200-mark against DeMatha to night at the University of Maryland. The Landon giants rate ahead of Richard Montgomery's Kenny Doane in career scoring, although Manger played four years. Doane compiled 397 points this year to run his total to 864 for three years. Kenny was second team All-County last year. > r I Joining this group on the All-County team is the sur prising Leon Taylor of Gaithersburg who, playing only one year for the Trojans, became recognized as one of the best basketball players ever to attend the school. Bob Windsor, Blair’s top rebounder, and co-holder with Dale Neel of RMHS of the County League scoring record of 38 points, completes the All-County team. Eddie Moffatt of Blair for stealing the Blazers to their first County League title and third Bi-County League title in six years, is named “Coach of the Year.” This year’s Blair squad, with great overall balance, although without the tradi tional big scoring star, ran up a 17-game win streak before playing a freakish 53-53 tie with High Point, the Prince Georges County champ.

Montgomery Ave., Rockville, Md. PO. 2-2101 AFIELD in Maryland By Lefty Kreh Feeding Birds Generally speaking there are two kinds of birds attracted to winter feeding stations. One, permanent residents, the other winter visitors that migrate down from the north and re turn there as soon as weather permits. The heavy mantle of snow that has blanketed most avail able food supplies has made it increasingly difficult for birds to find something to eat. Here is a list of foods that have been found excellent for feeding winter birds: suet, rab bit food, cooked spaghetti, boiled potatoes, apple peelings, small grains, white bread, dried berries, cracked com, millet sunflower seeds, and chaff from the grain mills. In addition, add a little sand or better still, some finely crushed oyster or clam shell to the side of the feeder. This latter material is highly con centrated with calcium and sand or grit aids in grinding the food. This grit is as es sential as food and snow makes cure.
