Springbrook
Is Favorite
For A Title
Springbrook meets Walt Whit
man tomorrow night in a match
in the race for the County Class
A basketball championship on
the WW court. Springbrook is
a strong favorite over Walt
Whtiman, following that team’s
47-39 league loss to the Gaith
ersburg Tropans last weekend.
This is Springbrook’s first sea
aon in the Class A competition,
following their victory in the
Class B league last year. Two
other teams were in the B lea
gue last season—Peary and Da
mascus. They are now the only
contenders in that class for the
crown this season.
Coach Raymond Chalkey is
feared for the game with
Wait Whitman and feels his
team can work their way to
the Class A title this season
if all goes well. His quintet
Is the same team that shot
their way to the District B
crown with victories over
Lackey and Great Mills. They
then lost out to North Hart
ford—who went on to win the
state championship—by only
six points.
Taking the floor for Spring
brook tomorrow night at Walt
Whitman will be Bill Jones, Jim
Culp, Dennis Durewyer, Ken
Dahms and Phil Curtis.

are juniors. They played to
gether in the B league while in
the 10th grade last season.
Last weekend the Springbrook
squad demonstrated the power
that makes them the logical
team to win the championship
this season by lacing Pearey,
64-35.
As tile score indicates, it
wasn’t much of a contest. The
Springbrook quintet started
out slow and trailed at the
end of the first quarter, but
then began hitting the nets
and forged into a lead that
wasn’t threatened the rest of
the tilt.
Bill Jones was the star of the
game, hitting the nets for 14
counters.
Coach Chalkey figures his
team stands a good chance of
emerging on top in the league
this year, but isn’t taking any
chances. "Tilings look good,’’
he says, "but we have to prove
it.”
As for the other teams in the
league, Chalky figures to have
the toughest time with the Sher
wood Warriors, the hot-and-cold
quintet in the race. Sherwood
also has its team back from last
year, but thus far when they
have been cold they have really
been off and when they’re hot,
they’re as good as any team in
the running for the title.

Corddry, of the Kensington

On Christmas Day the squad
gave indications of things to
come when they paraded their
entire roster against the inex
perienced sailors of the U. S.
Naval Base team in San Juan
and walked off with a smash
ing 27-1 victory. Phil Corddy
went 4 for 4 in this opening
game.

ninth. Jimmy Hodrinsky hurled
the first six innings and Gary
Martin caught. Phil Corddy con
tributed a spectacular assist
from center field to help nip
the Leones.
The Stars then Dew to St.
Thomas where they handed
the St. Thomas Teutons an
11-0 whitewashing behind the
two hit pitching of 14-year
old John Pelieano, who also
fanned eleven. The Teutons
were managed by A1 M Bean
of the Pirates and were 16 and
17 years old.
It was in St. Croix where the
Americans lost their only game.
This was a ten inning affair
against young men 19 to 21
years of age. The Stars battled
back from behind twice before
losing 9-8 in the tenth. Mike
Herson pitched well enough to
win but was betrayed by his
infield. Casey Stangle relieved
him and then gave away to Dean
Sloan who took the loss.
Stu Matenson hit a grand
slam to overcome an early St.
Croix lead and Gary Martin, the
catcher, doubled home the tying
run in the seventh to force the
game into overtime. In this
game Phil Corddry again made

Damascus Wins
Over Laurel
A 20-point scoring spree in
the final quarter earned Da
mascus a 53-40 victory over
Laurel last weekend. Randolph
was high for the winners with
17 points, trailed by teammate
Rice with 15 counters.

victory.
It was back to Puerto Nuevo
for game number five and the
Stars, behind the air tight pitch
ing of Phil Corddy and John
Pelicano, subdued the Puerto
Nuevo Recreation Assn, nine by
the score of 4-3. Thirteen-year
old Bob Duffy was inserted into
the lineup for this game and
played sensationally the rest of
the series.
Back to San -Ilian the boys
from the States took on the
Babe Ruth All Stars from
Fort Buchanan and with the
help of a six run first inning,
won, 9-4. Mike Herson started
and was relieved after pitch
ing three good innings. He
was followed by Casey Stan
gle and Dean Sloan, who cut
off a late rally by the boys
from the Fort.
In a rematch, due to the in
sistence of the Puerto Nuevo
Rec. Assn., the All Stars jumped
off to a 3-0 first inning lead and

but finished strong. He was
helped by some flashy infield
play and a home run by Phil

46 innings behind the plate for

Trojans
Defeat
Whitman
The Gaithersburg Trojans,
last year’s county Class A win
ner in a two-team competition
with Sherwood, got fired up
last weekend to defeat Walt
Whitman, 47-39, and then fell
victim the next night to Good
Counsel, 52-41.
The Trojans, who had a rec
ord 9-11 last year, won the A
title by defeating their only
opponent, Sherwood, two out of.
three contests. A third game
was played after the teams split
in their regularly scheduled
meetings.
In the league game with
Walt Whitman, the Trojans
Bob Syivest with 12 points.
He was the top scorer of the
game.
Whitman got off to a good
start and led at the end of the
first quarter, but then fell vic
tim to the Trojans attack in the
second stanza and Gaithersburg
led for the resit of the contest.
Gaithersburg led At the half,
22-19.
Trojan Coach Joseph McCar
thy says the addition of three
other teams to the Class A
league this season has sparked
more interest than that of last
season and he has some doubts
that his squad will repeat as
ohamps in the enlarged league.
Added to the A competition this
season are Springbrook, Ein
stein and Walt Whitman.
Coach McCarthy looks upon
Springbrook as the team to
beat for the crown, although
he concedes that up-and-down
Sherwood can’t be counted out
of the running.
The crucial test for the Tro
jans will come tomorrow night
when they take on the Sher
wood Warriors in the league
contest at Sherwood. Sherwood
is favored to win.
McCarthy says his team’s big
gest trouble is keeping fired-up
in their games. If they played
like they did against Walt Whit
man last weekend, they might
stand a good chance of coming
out on top this year. But, the
coach is candid In admitting
they just don’t seem to have
what it will take to shoot down
Springbrook.
In the Warriors, the Trojans
will be facing an experienced
set of players who have been
on the court together for the
past three years as a team.
While this would seem a formid
able obstacle for an crown
seeker, the Warriors have had
their problems, too. So, while
the odds favor the Warriors it
isn’t at all improbable that an
upset could take place.
Einstein Loses
To Sherwood
Sherwood got hot last week
end in their contest with Ein
stein in the County Class A
race and won the game, 56-52.
The big gun for the Sherwood
Warriors was Ken Johnson with
23 points.
Sherwood regarded as a
hot-and-cold team was
ahead at the half mark by
only one point, 22-21, and
then forged further Into the |
lead In the third stanza.
Einstein, however, proved!
stubborn and a threat up to the
end, managing to whittle away
at the Sherwood lead until only
two points separated the quin
tets with 1:30 left in the game.
Sherwood managed to fend
off the last-ditch threat and
went on to win.
Poolesville went on a wild
scoring spree in the second
half of their contest last Satur
day against Sherwood, winning
easily, 62-40.
Ed Sewell scored 17 points
for Poolesville IS of them
In the second half to spark
the victory over the War
riors. Gene Hamilton shared
scoring honors with Sewell,
also tallying 17 markers.
Carl Thomas was the spark
plug for the Warriors, scoring
17 points.
Sherwood now has a record
of A3.
