W. Johnson at Wheaton, Matches
First Contending Basketball Teams
Knights to Test
WJ's Rebounding
As Scorers Vie
Baring some more snow,
the first match of contend
ing teams in the 1961-62
Montgomery County basket
ball Conference race will get
under way at Wheaton Fri
day at 8 p.m. when Walter
Johnson comes to call.
In what should be a high
scoring affair, the contest will
tell a lot about both squads.
Wheaton has the height in 6-
foot-4 Dickie Whitner and 6
foot-4 Fred Kama which Walter
Johnson can't match in starters.
The Green has some big ones
on the bench but Coach Allen
Swick doesn't see much chance
of working in his tall saplings
until later in the season. Steve
Nelson at 6-foot-3 will be the
tallest WJ’er for a while but he
has been sidelined most of the
early practice season with a
groin injury.
Buddy Borror and Clint New
by both at 6-foot 2 will be the
rebounders that will get the
test against Whitner and Karra;
if they make the grade, WJ can
be looked for near the top of
the latter in games to come.
Most of WJ’s scoring punch
will come from Doug Yates,
second team All-County last
year, and Dean Kilpatrick. Both
are 6-footers.
Wheaton will be depending on
Ronnie Andre who was a hot
scorer early in last year's cam
paign before being slowed by
injuries.
Blair Should 801 l
Blair doesn’t figure to have
much difficulty with Richard
Montgomery on the Rocket’s
floor tomorrow. Gone from
the Rockville lineup are Dale
Neel, the 6-foot-7 rebounder,
and Kenny Doane, RMHS’s
most dependable from last sea
son.
Butch Israel, who was busy
picking up some of his football
laurels during the Rockets open
ing game loss to Northwood last
week, will be ha-the lineup and
should considerably strengthen
the Rockets scoring.
It would be a major upset,
however, if the Rockets tipped
over Blair’s giants Jim Wendt
and Jack Townsend.
Sherwood, the team which
surprised Bethesda-Chevy Chase
40-39 last week takes a crack
at Northwood on the Indians’
home floor. Coach Gene Doane
had a rough Introduction to (he
County league last season, but
looks as if his team Is stronger
this season.
While JV-loaded Northwood Is
not considered one of the
- County’s stronger teams, the
game marks a good test for the
Warriors who haven’t produced
a winning basketball season in
many a moon.
Gaithersburg takes on B-CC
on the Barons’ floor also on
Friday night and Good Counsel
goes against Landon at 3:30 at
the Bethesda school.
The Trojans looked ragged in
their first start against Glenelg
and will be in for it on Be
thesda’s home floor unless they
pep up their offense consider
ably. Neither school has any
height under the boards and
will be even in this respect.
Counsel Gets Test
Jay Manning's Good Counsel
five Is supposed to be com
manding respect this season and
a game against Landon will be
as good a test as any. Landon
Coach Ed Barton lost his two
big boys Fred Hetzel and
George Manger but still has
Bobo Burger who goes at 6-
foot-5. Bob Bombard, an All-
County end in football, will lead
the Falcons’ attack.

A new wrinkle in the Montgomery County
Basketball Conference schedule gives the
smaller schools a break this fall.
The schedule has the smaller schools of
the league, such as Gaithersburg and Sherwood,
playing the largest schools only once, while
playing each other and the medium sized
schools twice.
This allows the smaller schools a chance
at a decent record and works on the assump
j tion that it may show a certain fortitude for
a gritty little bunch to play the giants of
. Montgomery Blair, there’s not much to prove
by playing them every day.

Gaithersburg’s Jim LeCompte finished
out his last year with the University of
North Carolina and the Tar Heels are
sure to lie sorry he’s gone.
Big Jim, who was the Sentinel’s first “Line
man of the Year" and co-captained with Kenny
Smith of Bethesda the first All-County team
in 1957, was showered with honors this season.
He was named first string guard on the
All-Atlantic Coast Conference Team and placed
on several All-America squads.
His latest honor is the Jacobs Blocking
Trophy. He Usd for the award with tackle
Art Gregory of Duke University. Each
received 17 votes for the coveted award of
the Atlantic Coast Conference Sportswrit
era Association.
Coach Jim Hickey of North Carolina calls
Jim “the best lineman in the conference.’’

tonight and against Tri-State JC
rival Hagerstown in Hagerstown
Saturday night is another ques
tion.
MJC has been ip the Tri-state
championship plhyoffs three
years in a row and won the
championship In two of those
three years.
The key to the MJC success
has been height and scoring
punch. Hagerstown JC has been
one of the toughest teams In
the league for several years and
won the championship last sea
son.
The Knights who had a 2-2
record before entertaining Cat

next contest Is against Prince

The 20 points by Smith of Bowie State in
Tuesday’s front sports page belong to Jackie
Smith, the former Richard Montgomery star.
Despite his small stature, Jackie has man
aged to stay in the lineup for Bowie for the
past three years and this season has blossomed
into a scoring threat.
Jackie may be best remembered as a
passing quarterback in football and for a 55-
yard touchdown pass that was called back in
a memorable 7-6 loss Gaithersburg pinned on
Rockville four years back. The play was called
back because of a clipping penalty and it was
the last time the Rockets tasted defeat until
Biair stopped them, 14-7, this season.
Unfortunately, Bowie has neither foot
ball or basketball, Jackie's best two sports.
Smith makes up for it by running track
In the spring and studying in the fall.

Dale Neel, who led the Richard Montgom
ery varsity to a runnerup position in the Bi-
County league last season, has made the squad
as a freshman at High Point (N. C.) College.
Reports are that Neel may work his way
Into the starting lineup this season.
Kirk Stewart, the lanky former North
wood star and the Sentinel’s “Player of
the Year” In basketball two years ago is
at High Point this year.
Stewart started out at Furman, then trans
ferred. -He has to sit out a year of basketball
before playing at High Point.

Comes now the time of year when we will all be nice
for a few days and, caught up in the spirit of Christmas,
will shop around for gifts to present to those we like.
For the fisherman in the fam-
rui Liter iisuei man in me lain*
lly there are many fine articles
that not only will be received
with joy Christmas morning but
which can be a source of pleas
ure for a long time. There are
many fine rods and reels manu
factured these days, most of
which will do a good Job. To
try and list them all would take
a catalog.
There is one rig, however,
that cornea pretty close to be
ing Just about right for an all
around outfit. That is, It can
be used as a boat rod for bottom
fishing and also it is just about
Ideal for trolling, either with
monafilament or wire line. The
rod la the Hornell Model No.
512; the reel la the Penn No. 1-0
Senator.
This rig may cost a little
more than some, but it is truly
a good outfit. The fellow lucky
enough to receive this as a gift
will be set for many years.
In addition to rods and reels,
there are other fine articles
that not only make attractive
gifts but provide years of very
useful service for the fisher
man. A good insulated cooler

is a practical gift. Most all of
the regular fishermen need one
of these chests, not only to car
ry their food and drinks down
but every once in a great while
they can use it to carry some
fish home. One of the good
vacuum bottle sets are nice as
well as useful. They have them
now in sets. The bottles come
with a handy Insulated case.
You can use one for soup and
one for coffee.
A good tackle box is another
fine idea.
If your fisherman has his
rods, reels, coolers, etc., an as
sortment of spoons or bucktails
would make a useful gift. These
items are constantly being worn
out or lost and must be re
placed. If you are not an exper
ienced fisherman who knows
the difference between what Is
useful and what is Junk, there
is one way to be sure you do
not get stuck.
If you want to give your man
spoons, give him an assortment
of Tony Accatta spoons. All of
his stuff is top-notch, and all of
it will catch fish.
If you want to give your fish
erman the more popular buck
tail, give him an assortment of
Bert Lamb lures. Everything
Bert puts out will catch fish
and is strictly top grade. There
are many other items that
would make fine gifts, but these
are a few that are sure-fire.
The fishing on the bay hasn’t
changed much in the past week.
The fish are still in deep water,
and when we can get a good
day we are doing real good.
We have lost our big fish in
the middle bay and may not see
them again this season. The
fish we are catching now are
nice ones, however, running up
to four pounds. The big rock
will show up later down In the
lower Potomac. As of right
now, however, they have not
put in an appearance.
