County Track Teams Vie Saturday
Fairmont Heights
Also in Big Meet
May is the big month for track. All over the country
the kinks of winter workouts are being eliminated and
times are going down, down, down. Just this past weekend
relay meets all over the country attracted top runners,
and top sports coverage, with world records smashed.
Northwood High School Is
sponsoring its seventh annual
Invitational meet and it looks
like everyone was invited and
accepted. Twenty-five schools
will compete for the title, cur
rently held by the host school.
All Montgomery County
schools will be represented ex
cept Einstein, and the full gam
bit of Prince Georges County
teams will be present. Even
teams from Baltimore and Anne
Arundel counties will send
trackmen to what can truely
be called a carnival of perform
ances.
It would seem that Northwood
again must he favored to take
the team title but, as with all
big meets, the thrill is to the
Individual winner. The score or
so odd coaches are sending
teams with hopes of taking the
whole affair but happy If they
can take home a few smiling
winners,
Saturday's meet, sanctioned
by the Maryland State High
School Athletic Commission,
will begin at 10 a m. Trials will
be held before lunch with all
championships being decided at
the 1:30 p.m. session.
Northwood is contributing the
big team trophy as well as in
dividual medals for first, sec
ond and third places in each
event. A cup will be presented
each relay winner also.
Northwood coach Jim DeMoss
and meet director Jerry Sisson
have done a marvelous job in
organizing this annual event.
Barring weather misfortune,
Saturday should offer a perfect
day of entertainment.
The Montgomery County
Class AA schools are expected
to dominate but Fairmont
Heights from Prince George’s
County may produce the most
exciting performer.
Sherwood, of the Montgomery
Class A circuit, will present Its
share of surprise strength, espe
cially in the field events.
Northwood approaches Satur
day fresh from a strong second
place finish In last week’s Wake
field Invitational In Arlington.
Only Hammond headed the In
dians, the strongest showing
ever made by a County team In
the Virginia meet.
The Indians will be led in
their defense of the title by Buz
Lawler and Ken Chatham.
Lawler is the State cross-coun
try champion and should be
under 4:30 In the mile run.
Chatham could be pushed to a
record heave in the shot put
He is consistantly over 52 feet
and will be defending champ.
Chatham is also a sprinter for
DeMoss’ Indians.
Rich Gibson will be in the
running for the sprint titles.
He finished third in both 100
and 220 in Virginia. Bob Cope
land will be seeking a record
performance in the 440. His win
ning time in Virginia, 50.7,
would better the existing North
wood record by two seconds.
Copeland, Lawlor, Chatham
and Bruce Sheehan will form
nuclei of relay teams expected
to approach titles Saturday.
Northwood's Jim Carroll will
be a strong contender in the
Jumping events, the broad jump
and triple jump.
Bethesda-Chevy Chase has two
sure spots In the pole vault.
Lanny Hunt and John Berry
can vault 12-feet and better,
Hunt hitting 12-feet-6 this year.
The record Is short lived Satur
day.
The B-CC two-mile relay team
of Dick Rubin, Kells Boland,
Wes Bishop, and Gordon Kerr
should emerge a winner. Rubin
can hit the 2:03 mark in the
880.
Hurdler Jim Chirleleison can
be counted on to place in the
low hurdles, and maybe in the
100-yard dash. Berry, the pole
vaulter, is also a hurdler for
Baron coach Jim Davis.
B-CC figures to win at least
one of the jumping events. Bry
ant Agnew and Tim Fahey both

can better 40 feet in the triple
jump, Agnew exceding 20-feet
in the broad jump.
Richard Montgomery will de
pend on junior Brian Wright
for its big win. Wright should
be able to break the high hurd
die mark set by Blair’s Jim
O’Neil in 1961. Wright is capable
of a 14.7 time.
The Rocket shuttle hurdle re
lay team of Pat Wilder, Bow
man Young, Tom Milliner and
Wright placed third in the Vir
ginia meet and should win Sat
urday.
Roger Bridgewater carries the
fate of R-M’s weight corps. He
can throw the discus 135 feet
and the shot 48, not enough for
victory but certainly good for
place.
Half-milcrs Bob Davis and
Stu Crump are contenders in
Saturday’s 880.
Wheaton figures to be very
strong Saturday. The Knights
passed up the Wakefield meet
but have been in two invitation
als to date, placing third in the
Blue Ridge Invitational, second
In the Handley meet. Wheaton
defeated Gaithersburg and How
ard County in a triangular meet.
High Jumper Earl Thompson
leads a corps of promising
Knights. He is capable of 6-feet -
2, more than enough to shatter
the meet record. Shot putter
John Gawler should give North
wood's Chatham a real battle.
Gawler has hit the 52-foot mark,
a challenging heave. Gawler is
also a contending discus man.
Junior half-miler Bart Suhre,
2:05, figures to be among the
leaders in the 880; Bill Neilsen
in the low hurdles; Bill Hyland
and Dick Taylor in the 440; and
Bill Isaacs in the high hurdles.
Walter Johnson, evperiencing
an “Off" year in track, will
have basketballer Bill Barnes
carrying the banner. Barnes
can jump over 6’2”, a record
tumbling If he does. Jeff Blum
will be in the running in the
shot and discus events.
Sherwood will send Dave Del
mer into the shot put event
with first place credentials. The
all-Metro footballer has put the
Iron ball 54-feet-6-inches, a throw
that puts Chatham of North
wood in a vulnerable position.
It should produce a tremendous
showdown.
Sherwood also will depend on
discus thrower Phil Ackerman
and relay teams in the mile and
880 events for points. Coach
Gene Doane feels his mile team,
Bruce Lord, Doug Burton, Dick
Hill, Ron Brown or alternate
John Cowan can take the event.
Cowan is also a prize broad
jumper.
Springbrook's mil er, Ken
Dahms, should give Northwoods
Buzz Lawlor a good race and
Gaithersburg will send a con
tingent of sprinters that oan
threaten the AA runners.
Fairmont Heights leads the
Prince Georges County entries.
Heights is light on depth but
strong on brilliant performers.
Perhaps the brightest per
former on the cinders the en
tire afternoon will be William
Dickerson. He will threaten the
state hurdles mark and will par
ticipate on several relay teams.
Dickerson is capable of a 14.5
mark in the high hurdles, well
under the current Maryland
mark of 14.7.
High Points sprinter John
Bickley, fresh from double wins
at Wakefield will be strong on
the 100 and 220. Miler Bill Mar
quardt will also be worth
watching.
Northwestern has depth, not
too helpful in big meets, but
enough to produce an outstand
ing mile relay team. Ed Marino,
Asa Peugh, Joe Enzer and
George Sutton compose that
team.
In summation It would ap
pear that nine records are
threatened. Enough said.

Starts Sunday
The Rockville entry in the
Tri-County League faces de
fending champion Muirkirk
at Richard Montgomery
High School in the feature
game of Sunday’s seven
game schedule.
Coach Roland Beall will send
his team into the 2 p.m. game
a very definite favorite based on
last week’s performances.
Rockville opened the season
with an easy 7-2 victory over
Dayton and looked very strong
while building up the winning
margin in the first six innings.
Beall started Bill Galliher and
let him pitch six innings before
relieving with John Gould
allowed the two runs but both
were unearned. He gave up only
five hits and struck out five.
Rockville was paced by the
hitting of centerfielder Wayne
Cemiglia and Galliher. Both
claimed two runs batted in with
clutch hits in the third and sixth
innings. Cemiglia’s hit was a
double with Vic Collier and
James Pratt on base: Galliherts
a single with Ed Moose and
Collier in scoring position.
Beall was also happy with the
showing of his catching corps.
He has perhaps the best two in
the league. Joe Herrich, the
starter, was in long enough to

Sunday’s upcoming game will
feature defending champion
Muirkirk. The Giants lost last
week to Beltsville, despite the
heroics of Gary Mays.
Mays, who has only one arm,
slammed two triples and a
single for the offensive news of
the game. Mays was a leading
hitter in the league last year.
Dale Boyd will probably pitch
for Muirkirk, Gould getting the

Fairland will be seeking a sec

as a slugger last week. Kelly
banged out a triple and double
in Fairland’s winning effort.
Buchanan forfeited to Glen Elg

On Tap For Today
Richard Montgomery faces
Wheaton Tuesday in what could
be the key game of the County
Class AA loop to date.
The Rockets, unbeaten going
into Thursday’s battle with
winless B-CC, must beat Whea
ton to remain in undisputed
first place. The Knights were
upset by Northwood Tuesday,
3-0, and are anxious to regain
the sun berth.
Wheaton coach Walt Dupee
watched his ace pitcher John
Bull blow open a tight game
with Northwood's Andy Coe,
the Indians winning with two
runs in the sixth and one in the
seventh.
Bull allowed a two-run triple
with two out in the sixth, In
dian second basemen Jerry
May lining a shot down the
first base line. Bill Greg and
Roger Pema scored on the hit,
breaking up a scoreless game.
In the seventh inning North
wood right fielder Mickey
Meiklejohn toured the bases in
a comedy of errors. He reached
first when his bunt was booted
by the Wheaton third sacker.
Meilklejohn stole second and
reached third when Bull threw
into center field on an attempt
ed pickoff.
Meiklejohn scored the third
run when a Bull fast ball
bounced in the dirt, getting past
catcher Boswell.
The Rockets remained un
beaten with a 5-2 win over
Blair. A host of infield hits and
errors spelled doom for the
Blazers as Richard Montgomery
capitalized on sloppy play for
runs.
The Rockets scored a run in
the first when two bunt at
tempts went unfielded for base
hits. A grounder was booted
at first base and a sacrifice fly
produced a run.
In the second Don Ricketts
reached base on an error, went

Class A Circuit
Ruppert Curry’s Sherwood
Warriors continue to dominate
the County Class A circuit this
week after easing through
three league contests unscathed.
The Warroirs' biggest test in
the loop will be today when
they tangle with Einstein at the
latters’ field. Einstein is also
unbeaten after Tuesday’s clash
with Springbrook was post
poned until yesterday.
Sherwood defeated Peary
Tuesday in a game cut to five
innings by rain.
The biggest surprise in coun
ty baseball continues to be
Steve White. The 17-year-old
soph has stopped everything to
face him and has not allowed a
walk in over 20 innings of pitch
ing.
Sherwood faces Walt Whit
man Tuesday.
to third on a sacrifice and a hit
by pitcher Pete Mulgrew,
scored on Squeeky Hebron’s fly.
Catcher Tom Manuel singled
in the sixth, stole second, third
and came home on a wild throw
at third.
Blair scored both runs in the
second on Ned Blackwell’s
single, Bob Laßocca’s triple
and Margolis' single.
The Rockets have been hand
ed a couple of wins thus far
and Coach Miles hopes the good
luck will continue. His opti
mism remains high, though,
despite his claims that a few of
the wins this year were tainted.
The county schedule shows a
five-game card today, the Blair-
Northwood game cancelled.
