Wheaton Mars
Indian Record
The Wheaton Knights kept
the pressure on full tilt
throughout the game to defeat
highly touted North wood, 5044,
In the big surprise of the Class
AA Montgomery County Bas
ketball League action last week
end.
The contest was played at
Northwood, where the home
fans watched in disappointment
as the favored Indians were un
able to get going and dropped
their first tilt of the season.
Coach Paul Bolyard said
notiiing seemed to go right
for his Northwood quintet,
especially In the closing min
utes of the game when the
Indians were only one point
behind with two minutes re
maining on the clock.
“The boys put the ball up in
the area of the basket,” Bolyard
says, “but it just didn’t go in.
It was just one of those nights
a coach dreads and Is always
glad when it’s over.”
For Wheaton, it was an eve
ning of jubiliation. The Knights
had suffered two setbacks in a
row in pre-season tilts in De
cember just before heading into
the regular league play and
were underdogs in the contest
with Northwood.
Wheaton Coach Walt Du pee
said it was the best team ef
fort he has seen by a Knights
team since he has been with
the school. The coach says his
boys played hard and were in
high spirits throughout the
game.
Despite Northwoods’ bad
night, they did make a game

Wheaton Knights Face
Walter Johnson Friday
Wheaton, flush with victory
over the Northwood Indians in
the first league encounter of
the season for both squads,
takes on tough Walter Johnson
tonight on the latteris’ home
court. It may well prove to be
one of the toughest ball game
on tomorrow night’s schedule.
Wheaton, who surprised Mont
gomery County League fans
test weekend by downing the
Northwood Indians, 5044, face
a scrappy quintet when they
take on the W-J Spartans. The

Blair Victorious as Northwood Loses
of it as far the score went,
right up until the final moment
of play.
Northwood led at the half,
24-22, but fell victim to the fast
moving Knights shortly after
the second half got started.
Without a doubt, the star
of the evening was Wheaton’s
John Tinker, a sophomore,
who racked up 17 points in
the encounter, his first varsity
game.
Tinker clinched the victory
for the Indians with a minute
remaining, tossing in two free
throws to give his team a 4544
advantage. Curtiss Norland,
who achieved a game total of 11
points, also scored the Indians’
final three tallies of the eve
ning.
Northwood was hindered in
the tilt somewhat by the ab
sence of versatile Scott Mac-
Dougal, 6-4, who has been rack
ing up 16 counters per contest.
MacDougall has been ill for
some weeks now and has not
practiced with the team since
before Christmas.
Bolyard says his squad hit
only 28 per cent of their shots
in the contest and that they
were so sold at one point that
they scored only seven points
In one particular 10-minute
period.
As for Dupee, he feels the
action last weekend indicates it
is going to be a tough season
for all the squads and that com
petition will be more spirited
than most people thought a
month ago. Bolyard agrees.
weekend, but lost out in the
final moments, 5045.
The Sparians have been
rugged thus far this year and
might well have defeated Blair
except for a last minute spurt
by the champs. As it was, they
had the Blair quintet sweating
right up until the final whistle.
Since both Wheaton and W-J
are strong contenders for the
Class AA title this season, the
outcome of the tilt tomorrow
, night could well be an indicator
of just how things are going to
shape up in the league this sea
son.

Blazers to Meet
RM Tomorrow
Unbeaten Montgomery Blair
takes on Richard Montgomery
tomorrow evening on the Blair
court, as the MB Blazers con
tinue their quest to retain the
basketball crown they won last
year.
The defending champs now
have five wins and no losses,
their most important victory
being over Walter Johnson, 50-
45.
Blair has sparked the
Imagination and enthusiasm
of home rooters by coming
out strong in the current sea
son, after being considered
the underdog to Northwood In
pre-season figuring.
Coach Ed Moffatt’s Blazers
look as if they will emerge un
defeated in the second round of
play, facing Sherwood after
Richard Montgomery. Neither
RM or Sherwood figure to out
score the defending champions.
The contest last weekend
with the WJ Spartans, as fore
cast, was a nip-and-tuck battle
all the way. The Spartans were
right on the heels of Blair until
the final minutes of the contest
when Blair went in front, 4241,
on George Patterson’s free
throw.
Walter Robertson and Mark
Kromer then added layups in
quick succession to tie the
game up for the champs. 50-
45.
As the final score indicates,
the contest was anything but an
easy win. The score changed
hands 15 times, as the Blair
strategy of a slow-down con
trolled ball game paid off
against the run-and-shoot at
tack of WJ.
Indicative of how close the
contest was is the fact that
Blair had 22 field goals to 19
for WJ, while the Spartans had
seven tallies from the foul line
as compared to six for the
champs.
The halftime score in Ihe
\ close tilt was 22-22.
Top men in the scoring de
partment for Blair were Pat-
terson and Ruhling with 12
markers each, and Robertson
with 10 counters. Robertson
and Ridding scored all their
points on field goals.
For the Spartans, it was Fair
banks with 14 points and Beebe
with 12. Each player collected
five field goals.
Despite the surge the victory
gave to the Blazers’ prospects
for repeating as champs this
season, Moffatt wasn’t alto
gether happy with his squad’s
performance. He felt their play
was below par part of the tilt
B-CC vs Northwood
Is Game of Week
Probably the most thrilling
and tell-tale game this week
end will be the clash between
Bethesda-Chevy Chase and the
Northwood Indians on the B-CC
court. Northwood dropped the
league opener to a fired-up
Wheaton squad, 5044, last
weekend and is certain to be
out to keep in the running for
the AA crown by defeating
B-CC.
B-CC should be just as fired
up for the game as Northwood,
since the Bethesda-Chevy Chase
squad whipped Richard Mont
gomery handily last weekend
for their first league win of the
season.
With the champions, Blair,
facing what should be an easy
time against Richard Mont
gomery tomorrow night, and
with Wheaton in a crucial
battle with Walter Johnson, a
lot of what happens in the
league this season will hinge
on the outcome of the B-CC
and Northwood meeting.
Should Northwood lose t p
B-CC, the effect on the competi
tion this season would be tumul
and said they would have to do
better if they were to get
through the season In style.
However, the Blair quintet
must have hit their stride on
Saturday as they walked all
over Gonzaga, 62-46, In a
make-up, non-league encoun* ,
ter.
High for Blair against Gon
zaga was Roth with 15 points,

tous. The Indians, with a good
number of last season’s playem
back, have figured to be the
toughest team to beat But in
what appeared to be an off
night they dropped their league
opener and scored poorly
throughout the tilt
B-CC on the other hand had
no trouble with RM and would
have to be considered a serious
threat to Blair’s determination
to retain the AA crown If they
are victorious over Northwood.
One thing is certain In the
B-CC and Northwood encoun
ter: the Indians are going to
have to figure out some
strategy to tie up Bryant
Agnew or B-CC may run
away with the game. Agnew
was mainly responsible for
last weekend’s easy win over
Richard Montgomery.
Of the same token, if Scott
MacDougal is back with North
wood after a period of illness,*,
the BCC players will have their'
hands full trying to tie him up.
MacDougal has been a scoring
standout for Northwood this
season, averaging some 16
points in pre-season games.
