and Plumb kicked an excellent goal from a free kick near the center of the Held, to make the score 2-3. Following on February 12, was the Georgetown Prep game, which St. Albans won, 3-2. When the score was tied in the third quarter Heartfield, goalkeeper, stopped a ball that curled high over the heads of the backs and went just below the cross-bar. Before the whistle blew Beck kicked his second goal off a pass from By- ron. Byron had previously kicked the other goal. In the 0-0 Landon game, the team lost the chance to tie for the I.A.C. On February 24, the Blues defeated St. James, 2-O. In the first half long kicks by Plumb kept the ball down in the St. James territory. After dribbling down the field in the second quarter Byron centered to Schoenfeld, who kicked the ball through the goal. Williams crashed through the backfield to score for the Blues in the third quarter. To tie Sidwell Friends for the District Championship, St. Albans had to defeat Georgetown Prep. The game looked as though it would end in a tie, for the Blues missed several chances of scoring off Byron's centers and Schoenfeld's superb corner kicks. It was not until the third quarter, however, that Reeves shot a goal on a pass from Williams. The next day the Blues met Friends for the playoff of the District Champion- ship. Both sides played a good game, but the ball remained in Friends' territory and the few attempts later made at goal were all brilliantly stopped by Heartfield. When Beck scored in the third quarter it looked HS though the Blue team would capture the title. On a corner kick in the closing minutes of the game, however, Friends headed in the ball, and when the whistle blew the score was tied 1-1, leaving the two schools co-champions of the city.

They became, however, co-winners with Sidwell Friends of the City Championship and ended the season with a record of five wins, two ties, and one loss. The Blues opened their season by defeating Sidwell Friends, on Satterlee Field. The game was exciting, for Friends broke through to score shortly after the kick- off. Through Baxter's tackling, however, the ball was kept evenly in both ends of the field, until Monroney tied the score in the second period, and Byron kicked a goal in the closing minutes of the game. The second game, also played on Satterlee Field, resulted in the defeat of Lan- don, 1-O, on February 2. When Monroney scored in the second period, the game be- came exciting and in spite of the Browns' threatening the Blue goal, the resistance of- fered by Austin prevented scoring. Six days later the Blues encountered their first defeat at the hands of Friends. In spite of a good defensive game played by Jones and Owen, the Friends, having scored in the Hrst quarter, made two goals in quick succession. Then Byron scored, THE ALBANIAN

STEVENS, Co-MANAGER HIS year the team did not have a particularly good record with live wins and nine losses, but the team did not lack spirit. Bob Smith, one of the three returning lettermen, did a fine job leading the Blues. During most of the season, che responsi- bility of making the points fell on Bob's shoulders, and he did a great job. Derick Daniels, another returning lecterman, did a fine job of ball-handling in his old guard position. Even though Derick did not make a great number of points, the ones he did make were always appreciated. Jim Miller, the third returning letterman, played some very smart basketball and, even though illness kept him out of a few games, made quite a number of points. The first game against Maryland Park was not very successful because of the ab- sence of three of the starting players. When the game ended Maryland Park was lead- ing 32-2S. Next in order followed defeats by Devitt C30-61, Western C40-251, Bal- timore Friends C34-BOJ, and Woodrow Wilson C45-235. The Baltimore Friends game, being the only close game, Was very heartbreaking because it was the first IAC THE ALBANIAN
